    I, along with many others out there, am having issues with Roll Twitch... I just purchased 2 different types and thickness' of gel Gyro mounting tape to see if that will help at all over the original mounting tape. I think the reason the roll twitches more then the tilt is due to the fact that the roll sees more vibrations then the tilt does. I could be completely wrong in that assumption but thats what im going after.

    Im hoping to have some test results by this weekend. I will shoot video of the same thing 3 different times, one as it is now, and one for each type of tape. I will do it without changing any of the settings on the Radian to start. Then I will try and fine tune each one to see if it gets better. I am hoping it will be a little windy out since that seems to be when it's more noticeable.

    Let the testing begin!

    Interesting. I was planning to do some testing on this same issue but I have a different theory. I will share any results as well.

    Happy hunting

    I am anxious to see how your tests go. When will you have your results?

    Josh: do you have a link for the gel mounting tape? Always useful to know where to get stuff like that.

    Andy.

    I tried the original, 3M 1mm silicone and hard fixing w/ zip-tie...All the same result.
    Did anybody get better results with soft "gel" or "foam" on radians?

    Hey Guys,
    Sorry haven't had a chance to test anything yet. Been out on shoots the last couple weeks. I have some down time now and will be checking stuff out/testing some different mounting methods this week.
