Stuck with adjusting/ calibration

[alternus]

Can I ask a stupid question, does the counter weight at the bottom positioning play an important role? If yes, where should the default position in?

Let's sidetrack a little with some glidecam physics...
The bottom weights should always be placed as outward as possible. It gives more rotational stability in the yaw axis. Rotational Moment of Inertia. Watch this video here,

Applying the same principle to the Roll axis, you should lengthen your system.

Thanks for sharing bro. I saw a few vids on how to calibrate a glidecam so got the idea pretty much from there as well
