Finding dynamic balance on the Tiffen Archer 2 sled: gimbal centering, monitor and battery weight distribution.

What the thread found

  • Check gimbal centering first by achieving static balance in one direction, then rotating 180 degrees to verify static balance in that position before attempting dynamic adjustments.
  • If the monitor's center of gravity lies below that of the batteries, move the batteries farther from the post to compensate.
  • Verify the camera's center of gravity, particularly whether it is positioned near the back of the post.
