The noisy gimbal and jello video ....

[solentlife]

Factory installed camera and I suffered jello and terrible noise from the gimbal when powered up. After discussion with another guy who mentioned the 'grub screw' in the vertical gimbal arm - I decided to check it more carefully. I'd looked before but it seemed fine.
Careful checking showed that the camera mount was not quite seated right on the lower arm bearing. I slacked the screw and pressed the mount down while re-tightening ....

The noise was gone and all sounded smooth as silk. It also cured the very slight "jello" I was getting in videos ...

and later when camera seated ...

The difference that tiny bit made is incredible. The amount was literally not able to see but you can see the difference in the vids ...

Are you referring to this screw?

Yep - that's the one ...

It not onlu had that same noise you show in the video - but also the jello you see in my video. Once slackened, then press mount down onto its bearing fully while re-tightening - it all sorted out.
