The correct balance is achieved when the lens and
camera can be tilted at any angle—up or down—and
remain in place. With the proper balance, the lens can
be moved effortlessly, and it will stay pointed in any
position without locking the swinging arm.
Follow these steps to balance the camera and lens on
the gimbal head:
Horizontal Balance
1. Tighten all locking knobs so the camera and lens
won’t accidentally move when mounted on the
gimbal.
2. Loosen the plate release lock, and adjust the
horizontal balance of the camera and lens.
Tighten the plate release lock until secure before
proceeding.
3. Loosen the swinging arm lock, and tilt the lens up
and then down at a 45° angle. If the lens wants to
return to a center position, the camera and lens are
horizontally balanced.
