3. Balance Each Axis:
   • Tilt Axis: Unlock the tilt axis. Adjust the camera's position forward or backward until it remains level when tilted. Tighten the lock.
   • Roll Axis: Unlock the roll axis. Adjust the horizontal position of the camera until it remains level. Tighten the lock.
   • Pan Axis: Unlock the pan axis. Hold the gimbal horizontally and adjust the vertical arm until the camera remains stable without drifting. Tighten the lock.
4. Fine-tuning: Perform small adjustments until the camera remains perfectly still in any orientation when the motors are off.
