Gimbal balance changes when panning camera head on stand
19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A gimbal that maintains static balance initially but loses side-to-side balance when the camera head is panned to different angles may indicate that the gimbal is not concentric with the center post.
- Operating in inverted mode requires significant practice and mental adjustment since directional inputs become reversed compared to normal operation.
- Monitor setup options such as axis-reversing displays or additional monitors positioned for inverted viewing can help with training in inverted modes.
Depends on
- The original poster had not experienced any drops or impacts with the rig, so a mechanical issue from damage cannot be confirmed.
- The user indicated they would contact the gimbal manufacturer for specific guidance but no resolution or follow-up findings were documented in the thread.
