2.2 Balancing Your Device

The gimbal must be balanced before powering it on. This involves adjusting the device's position until it remains level in all axes when the motors are off.

• Horizontal Balance: Adjust the horizontal position of your phone or camera within the clamp until it stays level without tilting left or right. Use the sliding arm for this adjustment.
• Vertical Balance: Adjust the vertical position of the device or the counterweight (if applicable) until the device remains level without tilting up or down. The split-level fixture allows for precise vertical gravity weight adjustment.
• Bilanċ tal-Assi tal-Inklinazzjoni: Ensure the device does not tilt forward or backward. Adjust the position of the device along the tilt arm.
