Movi is balanced but "camera" drifts to the left

    Hi

    New to the Pro. Had a Movi 5 though.

    Anyway. Balancing an FS7, but the minute I leave on the stand the back-end slowly swings to the left (I'm facing the lens) and stops when it eventually hits the ring. If I do the Pan Balance test, as per the manual, it doesn't move one bit. So should be balanced. Then I leave on the stand and the back-end swings to the left. It's not turned on at this point.
    Then if I try and leave the camera at the default, neutral, position (lens pointing straight forward) and I tip the rig backwards, the back-end now swings to the right...

    it's a little strange to me

    Hi Graham

    Thanks for your reply. I've gone through the various threads. It's exactly what I experience. And apparently it's something you need to live with. Although it still seems odd to me that it does that. My Movi 5 never did this. Maybe it's because it's not as heavy. Rigged an A7s on the Pro and it was all by the book.
