Gimble shook camera out of focus

Postby RJ Johnston » Tue Aug 23, 2022 4:37 pm

During balancing my Nikon compact camera on a gimble, the gimble starting vibrating violently. I just knew that the camera was going to have something wrong with it. Sure enough, the camera wouldn't lock focus in wide mode without a lot of trying. Even then, there was a noticeable blur. I went looking for a new compact camera that had a 20x magnification like my old Nikon Coolpix S7000. Unfortunately I didn't find anything I liked except a big step up to a Sony RX20M4 that had 25x optical zoom (600mm in 35mm equivalent). It's been out for a few years now, but I got it anyway. I'm really pleased with the Sony.

I'm a caregiver now, and don't have much time to do what I want.

Sorry to hear you had issues, That gimbal shake typically happens when the handle is free floating or the camera is so out of balance it does a number on the motors.

Glad you were able to pick up a camera you enjoy. I a a fan of Sony cameras so I hope you get lots of use.

Time always the most precious commodity. But caregiving is also important too.
