The height of the camera tray can be adjusted two ways. First the
primary adjustment slots on the left and right pitch arms can raise
and lower the camera tray. Second the camera tray height can
be fine-tuned by slightly loosening the clamps on the camera tray
and rotating the main tray forward or backwards about the tube.
The slot on the camera tray can then be used to fine tune the front
to back camera position helping to balance both Pitch Axis –
depending on your camera you may need to further adjust the
height of the camera to also align the center of gravity with the Roll
axis. The goal is to get both the Roll and Pitch axis in line so both are
evenly balanced.
Hint: The Silk is considered balanced when the camera remains
static in all positions and cannot fall to either side of any axis axis. If
the camera is not perfectly balance the gimbal will still work very
well, but it will cause the motors to work harder. Best stabilization
performance is achieved when you have a perfectly balanced
gimbal.
For wider cameras or cameras that are weighted heavier to one
side you can fine tune the roll adjustment using the 4 set screws at
the back of the roll frame:
