The gimbal of a pan tilt camera often fails to function properly or cannot rotate at all shortly after use, which is a common malfunction of the gimbal. The occurrence of this situation is generally caused by various reasons besides product quality factors, such as:
1. When the distance is too far, the keyboard cannot remotely control the camera (including lens) and gimbal through the decoder. This is mainly because when the distance is too far, the effectiveness of the control signal will be greatly reduced, which is caused by the weak control signal received by the decoder. At this point, a relay box should be installed at a certain distance to amplify the control signal.
2. Only the camera mounted gimbal is allowed, and a lifting method is used during use. The lifting method leads to an increase in the operating load of the gimbal, which can cause damage to the transmission mechanism and even the motor of the gimbal shortly after use.
3. The total weight of the camera and its protective cover exceeds the load-bearing capacity of the gimbal. Especially for outdoor use of gimbals, the weight of the protective cover is often too heavy, and there is often a problem of the gimbals not rotating (especially in the vertical direction).
4. Outdoor gimbals may malfunction or even be damaged due to high or low temperatures, or poor waterproof or antifreeze performance.
