Testing
Payload -> Shoot, Analyse, Adjust, Repeat
You’ll start your testing by finding the best settings for your payload and your
current level of ability.
The easiest way to do this is to practise the same short filming movement and
analyse it to find the best settings for you.
What works best is if you repeat a short 15 to 30 second shot that involves
walking on hard and soft surfaces, with some changes in direction and if possible
also on an uneven surface such as that found on a lawn.
1. Start with both Payload Spring
Adjusters set all the way to the
bottom - make sure you stop
when you feel the resistance
at the bottom.
2. Set both damping adjustment
knobs so that they’re turned
off (Fully tighten the knobs at
first and then loosen them 5
revolutions to turn off the
damping). This may give you
some uncontrolled bouncing during the test but that will be fixed in the
next section when we adjust the variable damping.
3. Rotate in full revolutions both Payload Spring Adjusters the same number
of revolutions until they’re high enough not to bottom out on your practise
shoot. (This is now the minimum setting for the weight of your rig)
