14 Why is the MAXIMA / TRINITY vibrating?
14.1 Reason 1
Not suitable or loose components.
If the System vibrates, make sure that:
• The dedicated camera dovetail plate is mounted (Sam 1, 2 or 3)
• All screws clamps are fully tighten
• That no carbon fibre or stainless steel 15mm rods are used (aluminum rods are the best)
• That long lenses are supported with the dedicated lens support.
• That the matte box is not loose or causing vibrations.
• That the batteries sitting tight in the battery mount.
14.2 Reason 2
If the System still vibrates, lift the MAXIMA up from the table, case or the stand (the
TRINITY
of the docking stand) to see if the vibrations will stops.
NOTE
Gimbals are made for elastic mounts, like humans, spring arms and so on.
Stands or tables are too stiff, that is why Gimbals start to vibrate.
14.3 Reason 3
The motor power is too high.
15 The right Motor Power
If the system is still vibrating, you will need to adjust the motor power of the Tilt and Pan
axis.
Go back to step 6.0 or 7.0 and decrease the motor power value by five steps.
NOTE
Press
Write to Device
and check if the change will give you the expected improvement and
has removed the vibrations.
