Balancing
To obtain the best performance from DJI RS 2, proper balancing is essential. Proper
balance is critical for shots with DJI RS 2 where fast motion or acceleration is required
and also oers longer battery runtimes. There are three axes that need to be properly
balanced before powering on DJI RS 2 and setting up the software.
Before Balancing
1. The camera needs to be fully congured, with all accessories and cables connected,
before installing and balancing the camera on the gimbal. If the camera has a lens
cap, make sure to remove it before balancing.
2. Before balancing, make sure to power on the camera if using an optical zoom
lens and to select the focal length if using a varifocal lens. Make sure DJI RS 2 is
powered o or in sleep mode before balancing.
