What are the key points in this video on how to balance a camera on the Ronin-S? What challenges might be presented when balancing the Sony FS5 on the Ronin?
Begin by removing the quick release plate. You can utilize the markings. Male sure the lens support area is facing the front (where the arrow points). You can start by mounting it in the center of the camera and tightening it with a tool. After that, you slip it into the quick release system from the back of the plate. If you need to recenter it, you can repeat the process and adjust the position of the quick release plate on the camera. If the camera is tilting one side or another, adjust the position of the plate by bringing the camera more forward or back. Once balanced, lock off the quick release plate. Always use two hands when balancing. To fix the roll motor, you want to use micro adjustments by loosing up the adjustment and slightly pushing the camera opposite to wherever its tilting until its perfectly centered, then lock it up. Next, you want to check the arm. If you tilt the camera up and it feels like its falling forward, it's set too high. Adjust this by sliding the arm up, until the camera stays pointing up. Throughout this process, you want to make adjustments to the previous parts as you go along. Lastly, you want to adjust the pan axis by sliding the camera forward or back until you're able to tilt the pan and have the camera stay upright.
