Using A Lumix Camera On A Handheld Gimbal

I have a Lumix G7 and a Neewer gimbal (https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Handheld-Stabilizer-Release-Cameras/dp/B00NJKJ1IA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1515620408&sr=8-2&keywords=neewer+gimbal)

The G7 is very light so when I balance it on the gimbal and do the drop test it drops too quickly. While I use it it isnt as smooth as id like because the weight on the bottom is to much relative to the G7. However, I have the minimum weights for the bottom of the gimbal so im not sure what to do besides add a dumbbell to the top of my G7. any solutions?
