Same problem, though mine will go both directions if I tilt the handle steep enough to the other side. I can get it really close to balanced & the balance test claims it’s excellent, but in reality I fear it will eventually burn out the motor due to bad design & app readings.
Same problem and same thoughts here.. mine always pans to the right, as if the center of gravity is just off axis. If you have any solution let me know
I notice that the 'lock lever' is not fully locked into place. Have you experienced any problems with this? My lever only goes half way into the lock position.
Hey, as the BMPCC 6KP is much larger to the right, unbalancing the gimbal, it would be possible 1) to mount the second arm of the gimble inverted, leaving the tilt motor to the left side, as it collides with the camera, or 2) just mount the camera upside down? Could you test these hypotheses to see if it would work and make a video? I would appreciate it.
any solution please ? i am pretty sure of the tilt and roll axis , they are well balanced , but the pan axis react the same way as in the video , am i doing something wrong ?
Unfortunately no, the issue still there. However what I do after getting it as close as possible for that axis to balance is to increase that motor stiffness of that access so I don’t get that unwanted sway while I’m shooting
What I also intend on trying is to switch the base plate to one with two screws to properly secure the camera as well to get the small rig expandable base plate mount because with my camera and lens setup my bmpcc 6k pro is very very close to the tilt axis motor
You're doing it wrong. You have to hold the gimbal main arm parallel to the ground and then balance the roll arm so that it lies parallel to the ground.
i think your onto something. but ive also seen alot of people say the 15 degree method is best. However i think the issue he is seeing here is that the tilt axis actually has a weird hidden notch if you tilt up from level and let it lock into this notch. . that makes the camera level(balanced) and will act balanced when balancing the pan axis with the 15 degree method. versus how he has it here the gimbal and pan axis mainly are fighting the fact the camera is being forced out of balance on the tilt axis. make any sence?>
@@saltdogmedia4204 I know that a lot of TH-camrs promote the 15 degree method, it's easy if you have a heavier rig, but every gimbal instructions that I've read, says to hold the gimbal parallel to the ground. If I hold my balanced Crane 3s at an angle, the yaw arm will rotate against the angle. Only when the gimbal is parallel to the ground, does the yaw arm rest parallel as well and doesn't react to gravity. My camera rig weighs over 4kg and with everything on the rig, including monitor, focus and zoom motors etc, balances without any issues.
It was balanced. However, I bought the $80 dji counterweight set just to try it. It didn't help. I ended up returning and getting the Crane 3s. It's not perfect (and it's heavy), but it's certainty better than the rs2 in my experience.
You keep moving the pan slider back and forth as well as opening the grey lever back and forth. Solution: User the grey lever, lift it up and adjust to rotate the screw tighter. This solves the pan issue you are having because you hardly have anything mounted on. Of course by tightening it, it'll make the motors work harder. I have the raveneye, big lense, microphone, focus motor. It struggles with the Tilt and not the pan because it so super heavy that it compensated the pan, roll but not tilt. I overstretched the tilt, so I cant have everything mounted on because tilt upwards just simply wont work for me. If I want everything, I would have to resort to DJI Ronin 4D but that is not something I want. I will have to offload the weight off the camera mount and put it on the handle. (such as raveneye transmitter), as for the lenses, I need more lightweight. Anyhow, I'm 100% I solved your problem because you have a pan issue and simple setup. Mine is much more complex.

There is a counterweight-set for the roll axis.
That should solve the problem.
Is there a video on applying this?

Same problem here R5 with RF50mm 1.2 and RF15-35. and when using the gimbal it always drifts on the pan axis.

I’m having the same issue even tho I balance my pan axis by holding the gimbal parallel to the ground
Same Problem. Do you have any solution yet?

shure your roll axis is really balanced?
i can't without counterweight on my BMPCC pocket

i have the same issue
Did you find a solution?

I have a DJI RS2 as well.
Zcrane gimbals are so much easier to balance tbh lol...
