    Hi Guys,

    yesterday I use my new Mövi Pro for the first time with a Nikon D850 DSLR after the Auto Calibration I have a lot of noise on the pan Axe specially when I grab it on the top handle of the ring:-(

    I must reduce the stiffness from 180 to 68 than the oscillating stop.
    Is the problem the weight of the camera?
    Or the mount of the baseplate far a way from the body?

    Have you a idea?

    Many thanks Adi

    Adi:
    1. Can you confirm that you have got the Nikon properly balanced (the test to see whether you have it balanced is that you can, with power off, move the camera and gimbal into any position and it will stay there). You need to have it balanced before you do an Autotune.
    2. When you do decide to do an Autotune, be sure to hold the MoVI as you intend to use it -- the settings Autotune gives you will change depending on how you hold the MoVI Pro.

    Hope this helps

    Oh....and given that the camera looks quite light, you might want to set the Autotune to 50%.

    Hi Andy,

    yes the camera is perfect balanced !

    So you mean I must touch the top handle while autotune is running ? When I see the tutorial Tabb turn the autotune and say don't touch the system ?

    Many thanks for help!

    Adi

    Hi Adi: The advice is "Tune it as you want to use it...." So if you plan to hold it just by the top handle, tune holding it just by the top handle. If you plan to hold it with two hands on either side of the ring, then tune it like that. The problem is that Autotune detects the natural resonant frequencies of the MoVI Pro and gimbal -- and those change depending on how you hold it.

    Hope that helps
