The H3-3D cannot be unbalanced as it is manufactured for one specific camera and one camera only (well a couple of you count versions of a model - The GoPro 3 and 3+)
Some common mistakes/misconceptions:
1. You cannot use the GoPro in the gimbal without a battery in the camera - this is part of the balance weight distribution.
2. A balance gimbal DOES NOT return to centre position when you tilt it (while switched off)
3. An H3-3D (or 2D) will feel VERY unbalanced without a camera in it - The camera in situ will balance the gimbal (it's designed this way)
I had a minor crash and one of the corner of the gimbal that holds the gopro has scratches. I assumed that part hit the floor when it crashed. And now when i compare my videos from before the crash, I notice that the angle of the fish eye lens is slightly tilted horizontally.
I use a Mobius camera on my gimbal designed for a GoPro. The Mobius is MUCH lighter than the GoPro. To balance my gimbal, I came up with the 55 cent solution. I used some high quality electrical tape to attach two quarters and a nickel to the end of the gimbal. 55 cents, and instant balance!
You may have to experiment with yours a bit to see how much weight to add, and where to attach it. Could it be that the gimbal is bent? If so, any chance of straightening it out?
