    Any other Android users here have the issue where the roll motor is visible?

    I have the counterweight kit coming soon and the only way I can think of it not showing up is pushing the phone out to the edge and balance it. Is this normal?

    Hi Gabe,

    There is a YouTube video about this. I suspect that the problem is that iPhone lenses are on the very edge of the phone and on at least some Android phones the lens is closer to the centre and therefore closer to the Movi.

    This is the video (see especially from 04:05):

    I think you're on the right track -- with the counterweight system you can slide the phone further left and counterbalance it with the weights. Just eyeballing the image I think you should be able to remove the Movi from the image.
