4.3 카메라 균형 맞추기
Proper balancing is critical for optimal gimbal performance and to prevent motor strain. The camera must be balanced on all three axes (tilt, roll, and pan) before powering on the gimbal.
- 틸트 축 균형: Adjust the camera's forward/backward position on the quick release plate until the camera remains level when tilted forward or backward.
- 롤 축 밸런스: Adjust the camera's left/right position until the camera remains level when rotated along its roll axis.
- 팬 축 균형: Hold the gimbal horizontally and adjust the pan arm until the gimbal remains stable without drifting to one side.
메모: Cameras with heavy front lenses may require careful adjustment or an offset bracket to achieve proper balance. Ensure the camera can move freely without obstruction from the gimbal body.
