Premium Members Werner Juergen Heinemann Posted August 25, 2019 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi All, So I just had my gimbal serviced. When I got it back, I went to balance it, and it is very out of balance, I can static balance it fine. But when spun 180 degrees, it tilts back quite severely. I chased it around for about an hour (rebalancing to where it would land). Same thing every time. Does anyone know how I can balance this myself? Please say it's easy. Any help, and the sooner the better, would be GREATLY appreciated, as I obviously need this for work. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kisling Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 I would also like to know what to do in this situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Werner Juergen Heinemann Posted September 15, 2019 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 So I Spoke with Robert Luna. He was very helpful. I’m going to assume you have a master sled. So what you want to do is take a little SHARP pointed knife. And pop off the caps on the side of the gimbal. They came off and go back on surprisingly easy. Inside you’ll see a flat head screw in each each side. Put your sled on the balance pin with weigh and balance it to the side would normally balance to. I did static, as well as dynamic. As much as I could with it out of balance anyway. Then spin it ninety degrees. If it’s out of balance, it will list to one side. I.e. front to back. You want to turn the opposing screw to “walk you sled towards that side on the gimbal that it’s falling away from. Do the same amount to the opposite side in reverse. It helped me to kind of lift the sled from the bottom when doing this. To get some weight off the gimbal. The screws are tight. Do it it SMALL increments. Then rebalance the sled at that point. And continue from there. You are essentially walking the sled to the appropriate spot on the gimbal. Be patient and take your time. I got mine dead centered. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Premium Members Gus Trivino Posted September 16, 2019 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Hi Werner, can you do a little video showing how to do that? Thanks in advance, Gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Werner Juergen Heinemann Posted September 16, 2019 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 My sled is on a show right now. But it’ll have to home latter this week. Drop me your email and I’ll send you a video. I won’t actually “do” it, as it’s already balanced. But I’ll show you the steps in the video.

Laurent Da Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Hello all, I am facing currently the exact same issue as Werner but on an Aero. Could anybody explain how to fix? I am having difficulties understanding what he wrote.. Some members talked about a video or some pictures, I would definitely love to see those or if someone would be kind enough to walk me through a solution I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
