Gimbal Balancing Guidelines
Before commencing your shoot, ensure proper balancing of the gimbal. Follow these steps to achieve optimal balance:
Preparation:
Ensure the camera and lens are set up for shooting.
Power off the gimbal or put it in sleep mode before starting the balancing process.
Hold the camera in position before adjusting the slide arm, cross arm, and vertical arm.
Balancing the Tilt Axis
Balancing the Vertical Tilt:
- Unlock the tilt lock and loosen the slide arm lock knob.
- Rotate the tilt axis until the camera lens points upward. Check the direction of the lens tilt.
- If the lens tilts to one side, adjust the slide arm in the opposite direction until the camera is steady.
- Tighten the slide arm lock knob while holding the camera.
Adjust Depth for the Tilt Axis:
- Rotate the tilt axis so the camera lens faces forward. Check the direction of the lens tilt.
- If the lens tilts to one side, unlock the quick-release plate safety lock and move the plate in the opposite direction.
- Lock the quick-release plate safety lock while holding the camera.
The tilt axis is balanced when the camera stays steady while tilted up or down by 45°.
Balancing the Roll Axis:
- Unlock the roll lock and check the direction in which the camera tilts.
- If the camera tilts to one side, loosen the cross-arm lock knob and move the cross-arm in the opposite direction.
- Tighten the cross-arm lock knob.
The roll axis is balanced when the camera stays still and horizontal to the ground.
Balancing the Pan Axis:
- Unlock the pan lock and tilt the gimbal forward until it is horizontal to the ground.
- If the camera tilts to one side, loosen the vertical arm lock knob and move the vertical arm in the opposite direction.
- Tighten the vertical arm lock knob.
The pan axis is balanced when the camera stays still and horizontal to the ground.
Using the Memory Slider:
The SCORP-C gimbal is equipped with a memory slider to facilitate balancing. After achieving balance, move the memory slider to the hole in the axis, exposing the red dot. This marks the current position for future reference. When mounting similar objects, align the axis to make the red dot visible for quick and efficient balancing.
