  1. I am selling my back-up TB-6 and XCS Digital level. Both are in excellent working order. The monitor does not come with the XCS arm as it is my back-up. The level comes with the mounting bracket to attach to an older PRO battery hanger.

     

    TB-6 $1950.00

     

    PDL $1250.00

     

    Located in Toronto,Canada

  2. My two cents. The vibration occurs as the camera changes direction from backing away to tracking left. A move that require the arm to return to the centre of balance, then extend out again to the left. The shot is low-mode and if the plate was mounted to an epic carry handle, any arm/rig vibrations would be amplified. If gyros were being used to fight the wind, and they wanted to fight against the direction change, that could have created flex/vibrations that were amplified by the time they reached the lens.

  3. Thanks for the replies guys. I have the gimbal back from Greg, and built up the rig and it is still doing the same drift. I checked on my own how the level was facing all different degrees like Jerry suggested. It goes out of level as soon as I pan. I decided that somehow the centre alignment of the gimbal must out; but Greg had just checked it with a five second drop time and it was fine. I never even considered the PRO top stage not lining up with the XCS post. I will get to work on that next. Thanks for that Richard, I appreciate it. Off to the garage to get the plumbers tape.

  4. I can balance up my PRO/XCS rig perfectly, as it is stationary, sitting level fore to aft and side to side. When I check my drop-time (3 seconds), the rig does not swing down in a straight line, it wants to swing ovals from side to side. If I spin the rig to check dynamic balance it spins like a top. I have sent my gimbal to Greg Bubb at XCS to be serviced and checked, and he has assured me that there is nothing wrong with the gimbal. Has anyone ever encountered this before with their sled, where the rig balances horizontally with the post vertical, but the balance horizontally goes out as it is dropped from 90 degrees?
