Then, change the balance to
be completely neutral top-to
bottom. It should hold any post
angle and not rotate.
TIP: For a refresher on
dynamic balancing, see
Section One of The Steadicam
Operator’s Handbook.
Balance the sled with a normal
to long drop time. BOTH static
and dynamic balance are
important here. You know how
to dynamic balance, right?
NOTE: You may wish to
temporarily unplug the gimbal
cable while dynamic balancing
to allow multiple rotations.
Make sure the sled does not
pan when holding a tilt. If so, a
tiny adjustment to your side-
side balance should correct this.
Otherwise, go back and re-
check your dynamic balance.
TIP: When you change
anything ABOVE the gimbal and
re-balance at the top stage,
dynamic balance is maintained!
When changing accessories
above the gimbal, like lenses
or lters, re-balance on the pin
with a normal drop time and
then go fully neutral again.
