STEP 5

Adjust the gimbal pan – forward and backward balance

•

Loosen the pan motor left thumb screw (Fig. 8).

•

Tilt the gimbal handle 45 degrees forward.

•

Move the pan arm to the left side or to the right side at 90 degrees and observe the direction it tends to

move when released.

•

If the pan arm tends to go up/backward, then the gimbal is front heavy: move the pan arm back slightly

and repeat the side test.

•

If the pan arm tends to move down/forward, it means the gimbal is back heavy: move the pan arm

slightly forward and repeat the side test.

•

When in balance, the pan arm should stay at any position around the handle when the handle is tilted

forward.

•

Tighten the thumb screws.

Recommendations

•

After adjusting the camera installation, check that each knob is fully tightened.

•

Do not overtighten the screw wrench to avoid stripping the screw.

•

For a very small camera and lens, if you cannot reach the balance as per above steps, then try

to reposition the camera on the quick release in step 1. Repeat steps 1-5 otherwise a different

camera/lens combo is required.

TIP

Beholder EC1 uses the latest 32-bit systems, a multi-

processor technology and inductive motor

technology, with

greatly improved torque. Therefore, it's able to start and level the camera if it is

out of balance, but for shot stability, battery life and power saving, we strongly recommend you

find the best balance first and then power the gimbal on and shoot the video.
