OI Photography said:Ian, regarding the method you used to balance the gimbal...couldn't you make the length of it much shorter by simply increasing the weight on the end? Same principle as when balancing props with tape; a smaller piece closer to the tip will have the same effect as a larger piece closer to the hub. I just figured making that shorter might make the whole thing less cumbersome.
Exactly. It's a preference. It doesn't make contact in flight where I have it. I prefer it only because it's less weight and I can remove it easily when I don't use the ND. I think the bend is important and gives a more even weight shift when tilting forward.
