Balancing

• 01. Balancing
  To achieve the best performance from the T7, proper balancing is necessary. Accurate balance is critical in shots where the gimbal will be subjected to extreme movements or accelerations. There are 3 axes that need to be precisely balanced prior to powering up the gimbal.
• 02. Mounting The Camera
  Use two 1/4”-20 screws to secure the camera to the camera plate and camera top crossbar, then put the camera to the gimbal and tighten the top bar knob.

  

  

   

   
• 03. Tilt Axis Front-Back Balance
  When the proper front-back balance is achieved, the camera will stay level when you remove your hands.

  

  1. Loosen the thumb screw on the right side of the camera plate and the top bar knob Then, gently slide the camera forward or backward until the tilt axis remains level.

  

  2. Tighten the right thumb screw to lock the camera and camera plate in position. Tighten the 2 thumb screws on the top bar.

   

   
• 04. Tilt Axis Vertical Balance
  When the proper vertical balance is achieved, you can rotate the camera in any angle and it will stay at that position.

  

  1. Rotate the tilt axis so that the lens is pointing upward.Then, loosen both vertical adjustment thumb screws, gently slide the camera mount crossbar and the top bar forward and backward until the camera remains pointing upward when released.

  

  2. Tighten the thumb screws. Check the number markings on both vertical bars are the same. Sometimes, the vertical balance could not be achieved, the front-back balance should be rechecked in this case.

   

   
• 05. Roll Axis Balance
  When the proper left-right roll balance is achieved, the camera will stay level when you remove your hands.

  

  1. Loosen the thumb screw on the left of the camera plate and also loosen the top bar knob, then gently slide the camera left or right until the roll axis remains level.

  

  2. Tighten the left thumb screw and the top bar knob to lock the camera in position.

   

   
• 06. Pan Axis Balance
  Tilt the gimbal about 20 degrees from the verticality, identify if the gimbal is front heavy or back heavy. Slide the pan axis slider until the camera does not swing.

  

  1.Loosen the thumb screw, then gently slide the pan axis slider backward/ forward until it doesn’t swing and stay at any given position when released.

  

  2. Tighten the thumb screw to make sure pan axis slider is locked in position.
