What the thread found

• After balancing a rig on the hill bracket and dock, small balance tweaks are often needed once the sled is mounted to the operator's body via the arm, typically requiring only 1/8 turn of balance knobs in both fore-aft and side-to-side axes.
• Bubble levels mounted on the top stage of a gimbal may not accurately indicate true horizontal orientation, and the sled can be out of level while the bubble appears level.
• Physical verification of horizontal alignment using a reference stand is more reliable than relying solely on bubble level indicators for gimbal balance validation.

Depends on

• The exact mechanism causing the difference between dock-balanced and body-mounted balance states is not conclusively explained in the discussion.
• No specific guidance provided on how much balance drift is normal or acceptable.
• The reported issue may be specific to certain rig configurations and gimbal models.
