How much weight can the gimbal handle?

[Memotheleftie]

In terms of filters, how much weight would be acceptable for the gimbal to handle? The oem filters weight about 1.5 ounces

I'm not sure what type of filters you're referring to. But a single Skyreat ND/PL filter weighs only 2.15gms (less than 0.08 ounces).

I was talking about the ones directly from dji, im currently using a pgytech vnd filter that according to amazon weighs about 88gr (3.1oz) but it seems a little heavy comparing to the dji ones and I dont want to risk damaging the gimbal

Meaning no offence but are you sure that 1.5oz is correct? the following shows DJI filters at 0.77g each Buy Mavic Air 2 ND Filters Set (ND4/8/32) - DJI Store
The DJI filters for the M2p are 2g

I think you are confusing oz for grams, I'm pretty sure it is 1.5gms.

I do see that using the ones that have a "dial" might be to heavy and causing some people a problem. I would stick to the single lens until we hear from the ones using the ones with the dial.

Could it be that Amazon is quoting shipping weight, with packaging?

So I went and bought a scale, this were the results:
Pgytech vnd filter: 1.5g
Original dji: 0.8g

Can this be too much for the gimbal?

Just checked my Freewell adjustable ND Fiters and they weigh in at 3.0 g. Never had an issue using them with my M2Z.

Ditto on the M2P.

I’ve been using the Moment variable ND filters on my MA2 and M2P, and have had no issues with weight on the gimbal. So you should have no issues with today’s ND filters.

But then I went and picked up the Moment anamorphic lens, and now we’re talking a whole ‘nother ballgame. The excessive weight requires install after gimbal has initialized, then recalibration of the gimbal after it’s affixed. Then if you fly too fast or into a head wind, the gimbal tends to just flop downwards in seeming exhaustion.

No problems with the PGYTECH VND or any of the fixed PolarPro filters in hundreds of flights.

The same for me with the M2Z.
