I've had my P3S for barely 10 days, and, as already stated in a different post, am fascinated with all the technology and 'smarts' inside the unit. Yet, today I found something rather 'odd'. If we want a gimbal to be very 'efficient', all three axes must intersect at the same point (as in gyroscope gimbals). We also want that intersection point to be in the center of the camera's sensor. If you look closely at the P3 gimbal, the three axes appear to intersect at the same point ... but the camera's center/sensor is offset about 10mm to the right. Why is that? I'm thinking one of the four possibilities:
1. Gimbal/camera were not designed/optimized for one another
2. Oversight from the design team (highly doubtful)
3. Some performance/design conflict that the engineers could not overcome
4. Someone wanted to avoid 'gimbal lock'.
