# Stiffness Tunning

Stiffness setting has a significant impact on the performance of the T7. This setting adjusts the degrees to which the gimbal tries to correct for unwanted camera movement and hold the camera stable.

### GENERAL METHOD

#### METHOD 1

Stiffness Expert: Keep all axes Hold Strength at 30 values.\
GAIN: 120

Stiffness Basic

Start with a low value of 10 for all axes, then turn motors ON. Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in each axis, then reduce it until the oscillation subsides. You can touch the camera to feel the oscillation during tuning. Increase the stiffness setting 5-10 points at a time until oscillation appears, then reduce 5 points until oscillation subsides.

**STEP 01 - TILT STIFFNESS**

Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the tilt axis, then reduce the setting until the oscillation subsides. Make sure there is no vibration when tilting the camera up and down and when moving the gimbal in any orientation.

**STEP 02 - ROLL STIFFNESS**

Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the roll axis, then reduce the setting until the oscillation subsides. Pick the T7 up and make sure there is no vibration when you move the gimbal around.

**STEP 03 - PAN STIFFNESS**

Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the pan axis, then reduce the setting until the oscillation subsides. Tilt the T7 about 20 degrees from the verticality and make sure that no vibrations are presented.

#### METHOD 2

Stiffness Basic: Keep all axes Hold Strength at 10 values.

**STEP 01 - TILT HOLD STRENGTH**

**STEP 02 - ROLL HOLD STRENGTH**

Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the roll axis, then reduce the setting until the oscillation subsides. Pick the AEVO up and make sure there is no vibration when you move the gimbal around.

**STEP 03 - PAN HOLD STRENGTH**

Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the pan axis, then reduce the setting until the oscillation subsides. Tilt the AEVO about 20 degrees from the verticality and make sure that no vibrations are presented.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.gremsy.com/gimbals/aevo/gimbal-configuration/stiffness-tunning.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
