I had forgotten how to balance it with a new lense. I wasted half day and in the end, I just left in the hotel and used my iPhone instead. Now, it came into suggestions and again, in the first attempt I balanced it in 5 minutes. 🙌🙌🙌

I'm sorry about you troubles. It's horrible. Anyway, here is what I found works. Make sure you only unlock the axis that you're trying to balance. Once it's done, lock it back and move to the next one. Start with balancing it so the camera faces forward, and then tilt it so the lens points straight up and adjust the arm. Put it back to facing forward and then lock the axis. Remember how far the camera is forward based on that little marker on the side (which you can use to lock the forward / backward movement). Then do the second axis (the roll), and then lock that one back. Then finish with the pan, and lock that. Once you're connected, you have to unlock all 3 axes, and then do the test. Best of luck!
