Is my gimbal bad? Video seems to jump a little...

[jpilk99]

Hi all,

Would anyone mind sharing a video so I can see how smoothly their PSA performs? I am new to owning mine and may not understand how smooth, or not, the video should be. But, I seem to have what are to me significant "jumps" in the video stream when I am 100% NOT jerking the joystick to make it do so. If you either watch the whole video, or just to the 1:53 or 2:01 mark you can hopefully see what I mean:

Thank you!

The video doesn't download for me so here is my guess. The video down link is not smothered and that is normal. Take the SD card and check it there. If that is jumpy u have a problem

Did you remove the shipping foam from behind the gimbal? People often don't see it and then ask why their video is jerking. One guy left it in for a year!

Yes, that's the one! I'm so happy to hear it was something simple.

FYI - Removing that foam piece is listed on the tips that I sent you on November 20. ;-)
