Gimbal centering issues when using XCS Ergo handle with Pro VZ Gimbal

What the thread found

  • The XCS Ergo handle may have tolerance differences that can affect dynamic balance and centering of the Pro VZ Gimbal.
  • Gimbal centering between the forks can be adjusted by the user with a tool provided by the manufacturer, even though the bearing itself is centered at the factory.
  • The 90 degree test can identify centering problems, but the gimbal should be loaded with a camera for accurate testing rather than tested on an empty bench.
  • Adjusting the yoke end caps can resolve centering issues that cause the gimbal to fail the 90 degree test.

Depends on

  • The XCS Ergo handle compatibility issue was described by a service technician but not independently verified by other users.
  • User adjustment of gimbal centering may be possible, but one participant was initially unaware this was a field-serviceable task.
  • The exact adjustment procedure and which tool to use is not detailed in the discussion.
