"SOLVED: I feel silly :) I started triple checking everything from the start, and realized that my rear motor was set up to spin CW, not CCW like I had thought.
It's literally the worst thing to have to change on this Trifecta frame, requiring me to…"

I need to adjust the arm a little bit so the camera will balance - it leans a bit to…"
