Dakota Friend Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Quick question, I am wondering if anyone could give me insight into why I am having to put my gimbal super low on my post to get proper drop time. I have been previously told that the higher on the post the better. But to get proper drop time I am having to put it almost in the middle. Is it okay to have it so low?

Premium Members Maxwel Fisher Posted April 28 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 28 Hi Dakota, Sounds like your sled build is very bottom heavy so you're having to move the gimbal farther down to post to balance out. I would try shortening the length of your sled if you have it at all extended first, then slowly move your gimbal back up to find the drop time you're looking for. If your sled is completely compact, add more weight up top or less on the bottom. Technically yes, the closer the gimbal is to your top stage, the more control you have. However, I've seen plenty of operators who fly with their gimbal lower on the post to achieve their drop time and their shots look incredible.
