Static balance alone does not guarantee dynamic balance; additional adjustments are needed after achieving the three-second drop time criterion
Dynamic balance is indicated by minimal wobble when the stabilizer is spun and pushed in multiple directions, with only slight rotational drift
Hand control with the left post can introduce wobble even when the rig appears dynamically balanced, requiring operator practice to manage without disrupting the balance
Battery and monitor placement affects dynamic balance and requires adjustment separate from the static balance setup

The discussion involves newer operators with limited hands-on experience
No detailed step-by-step solutions were provided in the thread for correcting dynamic balance issues
Camera-specific results may vary depending on the weight distribution of different camera models and lenses
