What the thread found

• When an Archer 2 with Volt module exhibits balance loss after a 180-degree pan, either the gimbal is not centered, the Volt module requires additional counterweight, or both.
• One operator reported an M2 gimbal that arrived uncentered from the factory; after centering, shim washers had to be added as counterweight to the Volt electronics assembly.
• The manufacturer supplied spacing shims upon request to adjust gimbal centering.
• Even slight left-right misalignment of the gimbal changes the balance behavior during panning.

Depends on

• Gimbal centering tolerance and Volt module mass distribution affect balance symmetry.
