When fitting the Olympus 9-18mm zoom lens to the Zenmuse X5S camera, a balancing ring and balancing cap is required to keep the lens fully balanced and stable on the gimbal.

 

The Balancing Ring is screwed onto the 52mm filter thread of the lens and the Balancing Cap to the rear of the camera.

 

Detach the original rear cap of the X5S camera before fitting the balancing cap.

 

The ring weighs 10gm and the cap weighs 78gm. The cap must remain on whenever this lens is fitted.

 

To mount a filter, replace the balancing ring entirely, so aim for a filter of a similar weight.
