Now turn the bowl upside down, you will see this becomes much easier. This
is because the COG is now below the fulcrum in this system and you can
even move your thumb from side to side without having the bowl fall over:
So, the key to effective balancing of your Glidegear 3000 is to make sure the
COG is just below the gimbal joint. This is achieved by distributing the weights
such that the system is slightly bottom heavy. As a general rule of thumb, it is
a good idea to start with 1/4 weight of your camera or less and then fine tune
it from there by adding or removing weights appropriately.
Although the pictures and explanations are pretty clear, we can do you one
better, you can also watch our video on balancing the Glidegear 3000 camera
