Balancing Roll Axis
Secure the gimbal upright on the gimbal-stand after the camera is installed and balanced on the camera tray.
If the camera (on roll axis) rotates to the right or left (clockwise or counter-clockwise), it needs to be balanced with
screw adjustments. You need to use the Allen wrench to loosen the four (4) roll-axis adjustment screws approximately
1-2 turns. Then move the roll-arm left or right to attain proper horizontal balance. After re-tightening adjustment screws,
rotate the camera to the horizontal position and remove hands from camera. While facing the front of the camera,
observe the camera movement on the roll-axis. If the camera begins tilting counterclockwise (left), move the roll-arm to
the right and re-tighten adjustment screws again. If the camera rotates clockwise (right), move the roll arm to left.
After repeated adjustments, and the balance seems correct, it is time to test the balance. Using your hands, rotate the
camera right and left to a variety of positions and remove your hands from camera. If it remains stable and motionless
on the roll-axis when moved to any position (left or right) when your hands are removed, then the camera adjustment
for the roll axis balancing completed.
