Post extension causes vibrations on Flyer LE with Epic gimbal setup
12 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Extended post position on the Flyer LE can produce noticeable vibrations during operation, particularly visible in video footage.
- Shortening the post reduces vibrations but increases gimbal instability and drift during panning.
- Post vibration becomes less apparent when using wider focal lengths.
- This vibration issue appears to be a common trade-off when extending the post significantly on this gimbal model.
Depends on
- The setup was stripped down and well under the weight limit, so the issue may not apply to heavier configurations.
- Drop time adjustment alone did not resolve the vibration problem in this instance.
- Video quality was poor, which may have affected assessment of the actual vibration severity.
- No definitive solution was provided in the thread.
- The discussion involves a specific gimbal model from 2014.
