This may draw the search engine admonition, but still needs an explanation rather than what I cannot find. I shoot primarily prime lenses on my X5S but thought I'd tinker with the Panasonic LUMIX 14-42 with its zoom capability. Not necessarily a great lens but can come in handy at times.
I have it perfectly balanced with lens fully retracted and the gimbal/I2 not grumbling when zoom tube extended, but doesn't the 'moment arm' length affect the fulcrum, balance point, and is it something I should be concerned about. Or, since no gimbal warning just presume all is ok? Or is my Physics 101of yesteryear in error and it's balanced throughtout the range of the zoom, if balanced while retracted?
