Damping Settings:
To give you an idea of where to set the damping here’s a range of filming
movements with the level of fluid damping that I use for each. This uses the single
black line in the white gauge:-
●
The most gentle camera movement - for this I tend to use from no damping
up to 20% damping. (e.g. All the faux slider shots, dolly/pans, faux crane
shots, Push-In and Pull-Out)
●
For slow walking or vertical or rotational motion (tilts, orbits or rotates) I’ll
have it set roughly between 15% and 30%.
●
For normal walking or changes in camera direction - (20%-40%).
●
For walking backwards or light jogging (follow /Lead) or walking down stairs
- (30%-45%).
●
For medium pace jogging - (30%-60%).
●
For running pace to hard running - (40%-70%).
●
For jumping about or with very hard action on uneven surfaces -
(60%-100%).
Note:
As with the spring adjusters you should do a similar style of
Bounce Test
to make sure both damping cartridges are set the same.
First set the Payload Spring Adjusters to the exact level and then
bounce the loaded stabilizer. If say the gimbal bounce leans towards
the right side then the right has more damping than the left and you
need to increase the left side damping adjustment or decrease the
right side adjuster.
