Hi I see that the 2-3s drop time is widely accepted to be the optimal balance. But what adverse results would there be if the drop time was much shorter (e.g., 1s) or much longer (5s)? Would a short drop time create a pendulum - but better stability? Any thought appreciated.

Hi Does the weight of the camera and the weight of the counterweights together have an overall impact to the stabilising effect? That is, suppose the same drop time in two setups where one has a 200g camera whilst the other has a 1kg camera. Will the stability be different? Thanks
