Tiffen M2 gimbal play

[Matt Dobson]

I’ve just received my new M2 rig and have noticed some play in the gimbal (shifts up and down about 1mm-2mm across the pan bearing). It shifts whenever I flip to low-mode. Has anyone had this issues or has a  potential fix? I’ve made sure the pan bearing cover is tight (it wasn’t loose to begin with). I’ve reached out to Tiffen, but still waiting on a response.

I don't have a solution, but I can say that mine does not do that.=\

Hey Matt,

Any update with this? I just noticed my M2 gimbal has the same issue, albeit to a slightly lesser extent. Did Tiffen have a fix?

Hi Jake, 

It ended up being considered ‘normal’ play from Tiffen and confirmed with other operators. 
 

I’ve been flying it for a while and it’s never an issue under load.

Great to know thanks Matt.
