What the thread found

• A properly balanced gimbal system should maintain balance when rotated 180 degrees on the balancing spud, but some units lose balance after rotation
• Pan bearing misalignment is a potential cause of balance shifts during 180-degree rotation

Depends on

• The specific correction procedure was referenced but not clearly explained in the discussion
• No visual documentation or detailed step-by-step instructions were provided to clarify the solution
• The issue may be specific to individual Aero gimbal units rather than a universal design problem
