    Hello my tilt access is pretty much balanced perfectly. But when I'm tilting really slow it's not smooth, it's kind of step he and jerky. When I go faster it's nice and smooth but the issues I need to tilt very slow. I have set the games from 5 to 60 and doesn't seem to make a difference except for of course speed but regardless on any gain setting when I go slow and just creep the tilt it's slow and kind of pauses and slow and kind of pauses.

    I switched out the servo from the pan and still doesn't seem to make a difference so I take it it is the radiant.

    Thx

    Check to see that the large pulley set screw is tight. It will loosen over time and then slip on the tilt shaft.

    Yeah the tilt pulling his type things tighten seems to be working, but the servo or the radian when you push the control stick just a little bit and starts moving the tilt is just not smooth Any other ideas

    Jason: Could you double check, with the tilt belt removed, that there is no significant resistance in tilt when you move the tilt axis by hand, please? EDIT : Test it by grabbing the large pulley and twisting that rather than trying to move the front transverse boom.

    Thanks
    Andy.
