## BALANCING

### TILT AXIS FRONTBACK BALANCE

When the proper front-back balance is achieved, the camera will stay level when you remove your hands.

### TILT AXIS VERTICAL BALANCE <a href="#tilt-axis-vertical-balance" id="tilt-axis-vertical-balance"></a>

Rotate the camera to 90 degree down, then adjust the Tilt Vertical Balance adjustment.

When the proper left-right balance is achieved, the camera will remain level when you remove your hand.

### PAN AXIS BALANCE <a href="#pan-axis-balance" id="pan-axis-balance"></a>

Tilt the gimbal about 20 degrees from the verticality, identify if the gimbal is front heavy or back heavy. Slide the pan axis slider until the camera does not swing.
