T
he low-profile gimbal clamp
is easy to use and offers a positive lock. You should occasionally test to
ensure the post is being clamped fully by trying to move the gimbal with the clamps closed. If the
gimbal slides with a camera on board, it will affect your drop time.
IMPORTANT:
Do not over-tighten the gimbal clamp! It is strong enough to distort the carbon fiber post but
does not need to be that tight to hold. Use minimum clamping force while still holding securely.
The over-center lock on the
gimbal clamp is adjusted while the
clamp is closed.
Use a 3/32” Allen wrench to turn
each screw an equal, tiny amount.
You don’t want to over-tighten
these, take your time.
Test the action of the clamp lever
and the holding power of the
clamp, and repeat if necessary.
