Adjusting drop time on a stabilizer sled with a light camera setup
What the thread found
- Moving the gimbal toward the bottom of a stabilizer sled can increase drop time.
- Adding weight to the top of a sled or removing weight from the bottom helps slow down the drop.
- Attaching an external monitor to the back of a camera can shift weight distribution enough to noticeably increase drop time on a stabilizer.
Depends on
- The specific stabilizer model may have different adjustment options.
- The monitor rigging method depends on having an articulating arm available.
- Results vary depending on the total system weight and balance point.
