Is this normal for a gimbal?... if not what's wrong

So with the unit on my gimbal wants to sit where the gp is looking left a little. If I move camera angle down all the way and back up, it's got about 3-4 seconds lag before it resets to center

I can't really tell, but maybe the arm is a little tweaked? Your description sounds a bit like axis-swapping.

Of course it can occasionally be that the weights aren't installed when they should be. But that looks like a GPH4Black so it shouldn't need any weights.

Well oddly enough, I put both weights on and it's working fine again (throwing hands up)

Might be had a GPH4Silver on in that case...

Or maybe you had the battery removed from the GP ?

It's a black and yes the battery was in it

Your flip pictures really doesn't convey the problem well. Got a video?

@just_bruce I'm not stalking you, just interested in the same subject. Great observations.

It almost looks like something is pressing down the gimbal on the back right side and/or pushing up on the left. Isolators loose maybe...

I mean, I *am* worthy of stalking, what with my beautiful, luscious, wonderful....uh...err....

Never mind.

AHEM

I'd also check your cable routing. I have one time seen the HDMI cable routed with a kink in it that pushed down on one side of the gimbal. Not common, but not hard to check, either.
