Why you can't balance your Ronin 2/Movi roll axis

This is a common question I see pop up on the gimbal forums so I wanted to dedicate a video to it.

you should never settle

[@peanutgripco]

very helpful

[@ericwu0318]

I always thought thats due to bent roll axial.

[@chrisherr]

Yes and no, a bent roll axel with exacerbate the problem

[@BlaineWestropp1]

I hope they are listening!

[@chrisherr]

Me too, me too.. scorpio cranes have the same thing. They curve up when there’s nothing on the end.

[@tonylorentzen]

Nice tip. What happened on that last clip? Forget to apply grade? ;-)

[@chrisherr]

Oh no, did I? Haha oops

[@OBLIQUEF]

I normally operate movi pro with handheld when shooting MVs/Performances. I usually keep the tilt balance bottom heavy as you do but what's your recommendation if you go dutch angles a lot? Still bottom heavy is more helpful than top heavy?

[@chrisherr]

I would always balance tilt fully neutral. I wouldn’t worry about balancing for Dutch angles unless the motors are giving out. I’d more be worried about bad roll balance on a black arm or something where the ronin is swinging wildly but the goal is to have a level shot

[@OBLIQUEF]

@@chrisherr Oh I meant bottom heavy relative to the roll axis ;) Yeah you are right about with black arm maybe that's why we should consider movi XL on those cases.
