Fast grab GB Question

[jeff@middlesex]

Hey guys when you ground balance using the trigger forward Fast Grab. When do you stop pumping and start hunting? When the numbers settledown to a specific one or two digits? Or a specific sound?

that being the new number showing the changed ground phase and the sound which represents the audio response to the ground after the fast grab has auto-balanced. Usually happens on the third pump.

 

[jeff@middlesex]

Does your audio still fluctuate at the end of the fast grab or is it stable?

 

[BuckeyeBrad]

Stable as in an absolute perfect monotone? No. Stable as in is it indicative of a correct GB? Yes.

because at least by my experience, most auto GB systems (that have a threshold present), actually seem to go just a hair negative within the last two inches or so above the ground. Not a bad thing under certain circumstances but I think it's pretty important to be able to manually GB also when preferred. In othjer words, semi auto and tracking systems are fine but I ALSO want the ability to manually set or manually adjust the amount of offset from that of the auto system. At Brandy, there was a difference of what the fast grab would set at and what it took to manually give what I call a true neutral response. Hope this helps.

The Fast Grab balances a whole number positive. You have to turn it down one number to get a true neutral.
