Matthias Bender Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hello community, I have a question for all experts and Archer2 owner: Do you know, how to adjust the Gimbal using the screws on top? I mentioned zwo types of screws: 1) the screws closing with the top of the Gimbal and 2) the screws dissapearing in the holes between the others Do you have any idea, what these are for and how to adjust the Gimbal with them? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jerry Holway Posted August 8, 2018 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 The 3 "thru" holes with set screws installed were for the Tango - no adjustment there. The other screws hold down the top cap/plate and should be tight. No adjustment there either. What are you trying to adjust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Bender Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 So the right one in the circle should be tight and the left one is for the tango? I was confused, because one of the screws was lose... one of the ones you can not really see, because they disappear inside. So I should tighten them?

Premium Members Jerry Holway Posted August 10, 2018 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yes, but no need to do it hard. It's just a set screw to fill the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Bender Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 Thank you very much! :) :) I remember they adjust the Gimbal once when I had the rig away for service. Is this done with the same screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jerry Holway Posted August 10, 2018 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 No! it's done with the trunnions.. one on each side. There's a procedure to test for centering, and also to center it. Not too tough but maybe better if the dealer did it? I haven't done an Archer in a long time... don't remember the exact steps, which is why I suggest your dealer do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
