6. Trouble shooting
Here are hints for manual adjustment of motor parameters for movie shooting.
It is not necessary to adjust every parameter.
Double check the following points before changing the motor parameters:
The balance of gimbal is properly adjusted.
Tripod screw of the L-bracket and the camera fixing screw are firmly tightened.
If you have some problems after "Preset of motor parameters"
Choose correct model of camera and lens.
Ensure parameter is applied correctly.
While shooting movie, rolling shutter effect might occur depending on the model, shooting
mode, or settings. It would be recommended to set a shutter speed slower than double the
framerate.
The image is jiggling
If the image is jiggling while hovering or flying slowly, try the following adjustments:
Increase STIFFNESS value by 5 to 10.
Decrease HOLD STRENGTH value. If you change the HOLD STRENGTH value, you need to
adjust the STIFNESS value as well.
Decrease GAIN value. Do not set the value lower than 150. If you change the GAIN
value, you need to adjust the STIFNESS value as well.
The temporary vibration occurs in the image
The image may temporarily vibrate. This may be avoided by taking the following actions:
Refer to the help guide "Mounting a camera on the gimbal (when using the GBL-PX1) ",
remove the camera once, and then attach it again. Vibration is more likely to occur if the
screws are not tightened properly or in the wrong order. Tighten the tripod screw so
that the L-bracket and the camera are parallel.
Decrease STIFFNESS value by 5 to 10.
Increase HOLD STRENGTH value. Do not set the value higher than 55. If you change the
HOLD STRENGTH value, you need to adjust the STIFNESS value as well.
The image resolution gets lower
If the image quality gets lower while hovering or flying slowly, try the following
adjustments:
Decrease STIFFNESS value by 5 to 10.
Decrease HOLD STRENGTH value. Do not set the value lower than 40. If you change the
HOLD STRENGTH value, you need to adjust the STIFNESS value as well.
