When I attach a microphone to my camera, it is too wide to properly fit on the Opteka GH! gimbal attached to my tripod. What alternative ways, or additional equipment, do I need to make a steady, secure connection?
Here are photos of the arrangement:

You gimbal should have and adjustable attachment so that you can move the camera back and forth to get it perfectly balanced. You will want to adjust the zoom level before attaching it. It looks like you have it super far forward on the mount, move to back till it balances.
