Balancing kit for Zenmuse X5 camera and Panasonic Lumix 35-100mm Zoom Lens

thingiverse

Although the Panasonic Lumix G 35-100mm zoom lens is on the list of DJI compatible lenses for the Zenmuse X5 camera and gimbal, it is a major problem to balance making it difficult to use. It is a very useful manual zoom lens that is relatively inexpensive and produces excellent images and and very useable video imagery. This balancing kit is a neat and simple way to easy balance the X5 camera, gimbal and lens that allows the balance to be easily and quickly changed when the zoom settings it changed. The kit consists of a 3D printed rear carrier and holder to balance tilt and a side carrier and holder to balance roll. Just add lead or other weight to the carriers and hold in place with Blu Tack or similar. You can quickly adjust the weight in each carrier as required. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skUjRuFQolw Print with 100% infill so the thin walls are correctly formed.
