Dynamic balance with Canon M-II 5D

I have the STEADICAM PILOT with a 5D and battery grip attached. I cannot for the life of me come CLOSE to achieving DYNAMIC BALANCE. There is someone on youtube that has done it , but it looks like they have adding something to it.

 

Hi Gregory,

 

that video you embedded is actually mine and the only thing that's added is a 400gr plate with attachment points for weights. On one of that points behind the camera I mounted a 1/4'' spigot and attached a Manfrotto 035 superclamp there (I just got the plate when I shot this video and did not have any weights yet).

 

After that it was easy, found and marked the CG, mounted the whole thing with CG about a 1cm behind the centerpost and from there easily found the DB, just like with a normal camcorder.

 

 

The lens mounted on the camera is a Canon 17-40 f4L
