Step 4: Balancing the Pan Axis
The entire mass below the pan motor must be balanced on the central axis line of the pan motor. To
achieve this balance, you must slide the pan axis slider.
1. Loosen the two tabs on the pan axis knuckle and turn the knobs to slide the assembly.
2. Identify if the Ronin is front heavy or rear heavy. Turn the knobs and reposition them by pulling
outwards to slide the pan slider forwards or backwards.
3. While the Ronin is resting on the tuning stand, try rotating the Ronin along the pan axis by lifting one
side of the handle bar. If the camera does not swing, the pan axis is properly balanced. Ensure you
tighten the two tabs after balancing is completed.
3. Tighten the tabs and be sure the measurement marks match up on either side of the vertical bars.
If they do not match up, the assembly could possibly be skewed higher or lower on one side,
which would cause the tilt motor to bind. Once the tab is tightened, manually rotate the assembly
simulating tilt to ensure there is no binding in the tilt motor. Sometimes you may need to go back
and balance the fore and aft tilt axis balance if the vertical balance required a significant change.
Advanced Roll Adjustment
If additional roll adjustment is needed in cases where the camera itself is too light in comparison to the
tilt motor assembly, advanced roll adjustment can be achieved by loosening the indicated screws and
pushing the assembly to the right or left.
