STIFFNESS TUNING
Stiffness settings have a significant impact on the performance of the gStabi System. The “Stiffness” settings adjust the degrees to which the gimbal tries to correct
for unwanted camera movement and hold the camera stable. The higher you can run the setting without vibration or oscillation, the better.
GENERAL METHOD:
Start with a low value of 20 for all axes then turn motors on. Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in each axes, then reduce it until the oscillation
subsides. You can touch on the camera to feel the oscillation during tuning. Increase the stiffness setting 5-10 points at a time until oscillation appears then reduce
5 points until oscillation subsides.
STEP 01 - TILT STIFFNESS
Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the tilt axis, then reduce the
setting until the oscillation subsides. Make sure there is no vibration when tilting the
camera up and down and when moving the handle in any orientation.
STEP 02 - ROLL STIFFNESS
Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the roll axis, then reduce
the setting until the oscillation subsides. Pick the gstabi up and make sure there is no
vibration when you move the handle around.
STEP 03 - PAN STIFFNESS
Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the pan axis, then reduce
the setting until the oscillation subsides. Pick the gstabi up by the top handle and
make sure that no vibrations are present when you move the handle around.
After the camera is balanced on the gStabi, it’s time to fine tune some parameters for best performance.
