Hi I'm hearing a grinding noise when trying to adjust (by using the knobs) my pan adjustment only at a certain point on the adjustment rod. It gets hard to turn the knobs at one point and then once when I move past that area it's fine and I can adjust freely. Anybody else experience this? Any help would be appreciated!

So I got the knob to semi stop grinding but it's wearing the paint down on the rails is this normal has anybody else had this problem?

Are you balancing it while the ronin is turn on? Thats what i understand from your post, yo have to calibrate stiffness manually not auto tune it

What model Ronin do you have? Could you happen to provide a small video of how you're making these adjustements and how the Ronin is behaving? What camera are you using with it?
