Gimbal or gimbal handle not centered: sled balanced in only one pan direction.

What the thread found

  • The most common cause is an off-center gimbal or gimbal handle, often present from the factory.
  • Other causes include a bent gimbal (not visible to the eye, verifiable only on a precision milling machine or measurement device), a slipping camera plate (VCT), or incorrect dynamic balance.
  • Operators should first check fall time and gimbal centering; community guides for self-centering exist, and the manufacturer offers support.
  • This problem is reported frequently in the operator community.
