What's the minimum weight required to balance the Movi in Roll and Tilt? I couldn't find the mass of the tilt motor or TSU in the manual.
Hi Shalin: I don't remember seeing that information anywhere, I'm afraid. I'm not sure whether it's ever been tested...let's see if anyone from FF tech support can supply some information (they read the forum posts regularly). Forgive my curiosity, but why do you need to know? What I do know is that when people try to use a camera and glass that's too light, the Autotune is not happy and you get vibrations (higher frequency) and/or oscillations (lower frequency) so you do have to add weight to the mass in motion on the gimbal.

In another post, someone suggested using very low stiffness values (10) instead of the autotune when I had the gimbal completely unloaded and it worked. I'll be doing some testing using a variety of devices and I'm going to be mounting adjustable sliding weights to make balancing the gimbal after swapping devices much easier. The devices will be relatively light so I want to make sure that the gimbal can still be balanced. Thanks!
There may be other forum members who would be interested in knowing what you find, Shalin, so please consider posting your results.
