Hi all,

just wanted to check something, i have a GF Mk.III since somewhere 2021, flying mostly with a 200mm extension and never really noticed this "leaning" of the stick? I opened it up yesterday to play around with some springs and noticed that the center mount (where you connect the stick) is not angled 90° with the base (see pictures). AFAIK it was always there but didn't pay much attention as i tought it was part of the rather low springs combined with the 200mm extension...

Is this normal? i'm using the Avia-S cams and no extension atm. It looks like at least 5° off to the right...

at first sight i see no real way of correcting this

If you're still on the factory springs they're there only to hold the gimbal in place rather than a suggested setup. I would advise to add up some more springs, or at least completely disengage the dampeners.

i played around with the springs, ended with 2x 50 springs => no change
releasing the dampers also results in no change

Try installing another cam on this axle - Avia-H and softer springs. Are there any changes?

tried the Avia-H cams, no change. It looks like the connector piece (the shining metal part) is bend or something. Don't know how this is possible as it looks really sturdy.

More focused pics with the issue please.
