Balance Adjustment

  1. Left and Right Balance Adjustment Lock
    Determine the center of gravity of the camera. If the camera tilts to the left, it means that the center of gravity of the camera is to the left. Loosen the left and right balance adjustment locking screw ®, and move the mounting base and the camera to the right until it can keep level with the ground when it is still; If the camera is tilted to the right, move the mounting base and the camera to the left until it is horizontal with the ground when it is still, and then tighten the screw.

  2. Front and Rear Balance Adjustment
    Flip the camera so that the lens is vertically up. Determine the center of gravity of the camera. When the camera lens is tilted forward, the mounting base and the camera should be moved backward until it can keep level with the ground when it is still, and then the screw can be tightened; If the camera lens is tilted backward, the mounting base and the camera should be moved forward until it can keep level with the ground when it is still, and then the screw can be tightened.
