Step 15
At very steep angles, the weight distribution of
the camera setup changes extremely.
The weight of the camera remains the same during tilting,
but the overall length of the weight distribution becomes shorter
and shorter the steeper the tilt angle becomes.
Therefore, power and torque must be adjusted in relation to the
current angle of inclination.
A correct Drop setting permanently balances the
Pan and Tilt values as the camera angle gets
steeper and steeper.

Slowly move the camera to the 90° top-down position.
As soon as the remote head starts to vibrate,
slowly move the slider to the right and increase the
Drop value until the remote head stops vibrating.

Master Control
NOTE
The Drop setting is a pretty powerful way to control
the overall performance and behavior of the SRH-360.
Although the PID settings were carried out perfectly, there may
be undesirable vibrations in connection with the general mounting
situation on the crane or dolly.
In order to get this unexpected vibrations under control immediately,
it is advisable to assign the drop on one of the knobs, e.g. K7.
As soon as vibrations occur, simply turn K7 a little to the left to
lower the drop value and the vibrations will disappear immediately.
NOTICE
Without any Drop compensation , strong vibrations occur at steep angles.
