III. BALANCING YOUR GIMBAL

We recommend you have your camera and accessories (i.e. filter, batteries, etc.) mounted before balancing the gimbal. If your

lens has an adjustable zoom, set the zoom to the desired position before balancing.

STEP 1: HORIZONTAL TILT/VERTICAL TILT

How to balance and adjust SteadyGim6 PLUS centre of gravity

The centre of gravity needs to be balance before SteadyGim6 PLUS can be used. The centre of gravity can be adjusted by moving the camera

around and certain mounting points. Little movements are all that are needed. Proper balancing is essential to correct operation of SteadyGim6

PLUS gimbal. When the gimbal is able to never return to the same position after being gently tapped, balancing is complete.

First, the camera itself needs to be adjusted forwards/backwards. Work towards making the camera sit level.

Next, the up/down sliders on the pitch assembly need to be adjusted. Camera should roll without stopping in same position.

forwards/backwards up/down

STEP 2: ROLL BALANCE

Verify the balance by moving your Roll Axis to several locations. If roll stays and does not fall to either side, your roll is balanced.

The roll needs to be adjusted next. There are two options to adjust roll. It can be adjust where the camera mounts or the back mounts on the roll

poll. Sometimes both need adjustment to get correct balance. We prefer that to move camera mount to adjust the camera balance.Move assembly

left/right to get balance correct on either camera side or rear mounts. Pay attention to keep everything lined up horizontally.

STEP 3: PAN BALANCE

The pan balance is the last axis to balance for the SteadyGim6 PLUS. The Pan Balance will ensure that the entire mass below the pan

motor is balanced on the central axis line of the pan motor. The simplest way to check for your Pan Axis to be balanced is to tilt the

gimbal in the stand and see which way the Pan Axis swings.
