STIFFNESS TUNING
Start with a low value of 20 for all axes, then turn the motors ON. Slowly increase
this setting until you feel an oscillation in each axis, then reduce it until the
oscillation subsides. You can touch the camera to feel the oscillation during
tuning. Increase the stiffness setting 5- 10 points until oscillation appears, then
reduce 5 points until oscillation subsides.
Stiffness setting has a significant impact on the performance of the gimbal.
This setting adjusts the degrees the gimbal tries to correct for unwanted camera
movement and hold the camera stable.
The higher you can run the setting without vibration or oscillation, the better it is.
GENERAL METHOD
Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the tilt axis, then reduce
the setting until the oscillation subsides. Make sure there is no vibration when
tilting the camera up and down and when moving the gimbal in any orientation.
Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the roll axis, then
reduce the setting until the oscillation subsides. Pick the gimbal up and make
sure there is no vibration when you move the gimbal around.
Slowly increase this setting until you feel an oscillation in the pan axis, then
reduce the setting until the oscillation subsides. Tilt the gimbal about 20 degrees
from the verticality and make sure that no vibrations are presented.
