Balance Tarot Gimbal for GoPro 4 Black

Posted by Erik Graham on January 1, 2015 at 1:52pm
Excuse me if this has been asked and answered, but a quick search of these forums did not return anything specific to the Iris+, Tarot, and GoPro Hero 4 Black.On another quad of mine, I re-balanced a zenmuse H3-3D gimbal to account for the Hero 4's extra weight (versus the Hero 3) by hot glueing a dime to the outside of the gimbal arm. Took a bit to get it perfect.This Tarot gimbal on the Iris+ seems a lot more durable and I wonder if it's necessary. I do notice a slight bias in the balance toward the GoPro when unpowered. However, once powered the gimbal does not seem to be straining to maintain balance.Any recommendations? Should I go ahead and re-balance the Tarot 2D gimbal to account for the added weight of a GoPro Hero 4 Black?

      Mine seems to work fine as well, but I'm concerned about prematurely wearing out the Gimbal due to the extra strain.
