What would you film with the new active track feature?

[@jimmazing]

Key on specific players for volleyball

[@SirWallace2]

Could be very useful for my Job. But very expensive unfortune

[@DennisSchmitz]

S1H with amazing video quality - but terrible autofocus.

[@antdx316]

What shutter speed and fps did you shoot this at?

[@muziqfreek]

@@DennisSchmitz use the LIDAR module instead on a nice manual lens.. best of all worlds

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Jeven! More Dovey excellence! This is a super review. Also liked the blooper clips at the end. 💛🙏🏼

[@skyehunsley2916]

That integrated focus wheel is going to be very useful indeed. I also like the RavenEye and 3D Focus system. Very well designed by DJI!

[@phucmapvlog]

Looking to make the upgrade, and of course your video comes up first. Very excited about this gimbal!

[@BugBobsWildWorld]

Picked up the RS2 yesterday, came back to re-watch your video about it. Charging, studying, then will practice with it. Thank you for the video.

[@SonerBaysal]

Finally DJI made a gimbal that i was looking for. Strong, lightweight and good futures. I will go for this one

[@themanavsolanki2548]

Amazing video! so well explained 😀 got all the information in one video I needed

[@ESTANOCHESI]

Bien explicado, directo y buenos ejemplos ,por ejemplo la temperatura. Enhorabuena.

[@ivahnkahn4697]

This was really helpful mate, cheers for uploading! I’ve subscribed to your channel mate.

[@RonaldBrown59]

It's nice looking gimbal, and I love the active track feature. After many delays I'm glad it was finally released. Nice review.

[@thoughtprovoking001]

Great video! I purchased this for the BMPCC4K with a Tilta half cage and it only balances with my lighter lenses. With my 35mm cine lens it tilts to the left so I have just added a weight to the right side of the gimbal to allow correct balance. This is leaps ahead of my Moza Air 2 gimbal, Far more solidly built and so far very stable and easy to use. I love being able to use a mobile phone screen with the Ravin Eye as well.

[@waynosfotos]

Hi Jeven, bought the ak4500 on your review, it has been a solid gimbal and balances my canon eos r with the 85mm f1.2 L lens which is very heavy and works fine. It does have a few little issues but overall well made. The batteries maybe a pain but you can get replacements easily. It also last a long time before charging. Always newer better stuff coming out. What i like the best about that ronin is the micro adjustment wheels, the ak4500 you need to slide and the arms get sticky. But not a deal breaker. Thanks for all the review you do, in detail and real world.

[@lucianosinibaldi1163]

nice review! 100% recommend watching. I am definitely buying one.

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks! The RS2 works great. I'm using it as my main gimbal now

[@phucmapvlog]

My subscription feed just blew up with this gimbal. I kind of want to buy it...

[@JevenDovey]

The RSC2 is so small and light! Perfect for most creators. I'll do another video about that one soon

[@cjlove4428]

Exactly how I feel. I just got the Ronin SC and now I don't want it. The major reason I bought it was for active track. It's hard to balance with the phone. I want the RS 2 because it has the menu on it and the pro combo is the better value

[@bahaatamer1245]

@@cjlove4428 damn you really fell deep into that market trap... Nonetheless, I agree, as I'm eyeing one myself as well

[@cjlove4428]

@@bahaatamer1245 I already have it now.I had just bought the SC so i was still in the return period. I took it back and the RS2 pro was much easier to balance and use active track with.

[@davidaltizer]

That was fun! I still don’t know why I was in this. But happy I was! 😂

[@TheStoryTillNow]

How did you mount the shotgun mic on the front like that?

[@travelly1]

Great seeing the outtakes; good to know that others definitely don't get it right first time as well.

[@samuelboatengyt]

the new track feature is awesome and the fact that you can use your phone and ad the luts directly from there is super cool

[@codylander]

Hey Jeven Great video! I’ve been looking into this set up. Can’t seem to find anyone using this paired with say a monopod. Do you think the hardware connection would be strong enough to use as a handheld “staff like” boom? I see the expansion kit but that is more geared towards a car mount right?

[@favoritemedialifestyle5401]

We ordered it. The best gimbal which we ever had!!! We can only recommend it!!!

[@blaspayri]

Thank you for this review with your clear style that inspires trust. I have seen 4 or 5 reviews of this product, as DJI seems to have inundated the youtube sphere with these gimbals. In all the reviews, I see a description of the features, but no "awe" and excitement. Probably gimbals have reached maturity and they just improve marginally. But it would be interesting to have more footage and testing of different conditions, to see how really smooth and stable is the video, and how it performs compared to other gimbals .... is there a real improvement between the sc and the rsc? the s and the rs? what are the usability (dis)advantages compared to other formats like the AK4500 and its two hand ring grip?

[@davidp158]

Thanks for the review. So many cool new features. I'm glad the new plate is still compatible with Manfrotto heads. I have the Ronin S, and while it has served me well, the new features are sooooo appealing. I'm wondering if RS2 will be able to fly a Panasonic EVA1 with a small lens.

[@TexasFamilyCamping]

at 1:46 I had to pause for a "Moment" LOL. I started this video thinking... "Less than the cost of the Ronin-S?" And, nope..... bummer. Your reviews are always so, perfect.

[@MattMayolo]

Thanks for the review! a question, does the raven eye transmission system works as well by itself? I mean, can it be used without the gimbal? or it only works WITH the gimbal. Thanks!

[@ichotolot9616]

Hey nice video! What I am really interested in is wether you can wirelessly pull focus from the app or something. Because the motor is so well integrated...

[@AgeofRogerio]

So happy you were chosen to represent this right after launch. Great revirw. Now I'll go watch Potato Jets review lol

[@JevenDovey]

Thank You! Always gotta check out Potato jets haha

[@BrannonNod]

Jeven PLEASE HELP Im trying to get my Sony A7Siii To work with the Raveneye But it wont connect i get a blank screen on my phone and only a blue light no display and green light? is there a setting on the Sony i need to set??

[@alexshdvideo]

Thank you for posting! I’m thinking this gimbal now and maybe a Blackmagic Pocket 4k or 6K.. or even the Micro since I am not convinced that anyone will tell the difference with 1080p while moving at 24p at 1/48th shutter..... though a friend has a 4K who would like to sell me his with a couple hours use so he can get the 6K for the price of the Micro. What camera are you liking the most for high dynamic range to go with a gimbal like this? I’m not opposed to post work and pro-res RAW or BRAW.. Pro Res Raw or Pro Res with a LOG profile - I would be happier with since I wouldn’t have to leave FCPX. I think I might go this route vs an Osmo Pocket 2. (I have iphone 11 with Filmic Pro app and Zihyun and DJI Osmo Mobile 3 gimbals). My main camera is JVC LS300 super 35 with Atomos Ninja V, but the weak link with the JVC is it’s 8 bit, but log and image quality is good and tradable. Too bulky to be gimbal balanced and well the rest of the world is on 10 bit now and BRAW, Prores RAW etc etc .

[@burhankunda_]

My issue with weeble s video transmission with sony a7iii is when I record video I can see any picture on camera screen and it only on my cell phone so I planned to return the gimbal. Do you think with dji ronans2 I will able to video on both camera lcd screen as well on my cell phone?

[@Stevenoiz]

Loved the Indy Mogul plug haha

[@MuhammadFloyd]

this looks great! i was really hesitant about it because of the size compared to the weebill-s but since it packs down small and looks stronger I might switch to this!

[@JohnGrogans]

Great video Jeven. Question for you. So I currently have the dji ronin s gimbal. Should I upgrade to the RS2? Is it better than the ronin s or about the same?

[@PaiviProject]

Well wow that was pretty darn cool !

[@kalkydra]

Great review! Will this work with a big lens such as the sony pz 28-135mm? Thanks!

[@kanalvest]

It's amazing gimbal. I am missing three things: 1: Possibility to calibrate the focus motor manually, so I can use lenses without a fixed stop on the focus ring. Will also be a great advantage with manual focus pull / zoom. 2: Possibility to operate focus motor from live view in the app. 3: Raveneye should be able to charge while it's on, so I only need to charge the large battery when I get home.

[@dexterbrown]

The “why are you here” moment was brilliant and hilarious. I sort of thought the same thing but right when I was gonna let it go, he asks exactly what I was thinking 🤣🤣🤣

[@ms.7584]

Super good video thanks. Is it posible to use auto tracking from the LCD on Sony AS7lll? I use the HDMI out for extern monitor.

[@Darthbishop]

@Jeven Dovey does it make sense to use this with a mirrorless camera and an Atomos Ninja V? or would that just make the setup too top heavy? I currently own two Canon R5's

[@giscelllove1417]

Awesome review! 🤗 You have inspired me with your videos that I decided to become a KZbinr myself...!😜 So I just Purchased the DJI RS2 Combo. I'm very excited!😝I think I'm good to go, so far I got all the equipment required. 😉

[@twentyfifthjt7888]

Do you need a phone to select a tracking subject, or can it be done from the 1.4" touchscreen or maybe with the joystick?

[@CollingFilms]

Can you hook up a cable from the gimbal to your camera to start/stop recording and control aperture/iso/shutter?

[@waynosfotos]

Yeah most can do this, but you need to check if it is compatible with your camera.

[@trangthihuyenpham]

works great perfect !

the Ronin RS2 is on wish list by now! could you tell me the size of the Arca-Swiss plate that DJI gives with the gimbal? i need to buy the matching QR clamp. thanks a lot!

[@brent3951]

To answer your question, I wish they hadn't removed the 3/8"-16 screw hole from the the bottom of the battery grip. The old Ronin-S has both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16, which was nice for mounting such things as the SmallRig wooden side handle. The double screws made it feel more secure.

[@ckfvideo]

Nice video! Do you turn the Sony stabilization off while using the gimbal?

[@RichardsWorld]

Could you please make a clear video on how to connect the Raven Eye? Some of the other small KZbinrs are connecting it different than you. And then I seen you connect it in different ways also. I'm mostly interested in the RS2 and Sony A7SIII setup. Brando Li seems to hook it up like you also. And it works better that way. But sometimes I see USB-C and Micro-USB connections. Please clarify this.

Thanks for your awesome Video! Please, let me know in this model also provides timelaps and motion timelaps too. Thank you from Germany

[@aboveallimages]

Can you add the GPS unit to the RS2 or does the gimbal have gps built in? I found the horizon holds much better when using it with the Ronin S.

[@deereillymedia]

Hi Jeven , could a left handed person use this gimbal as easily? Are the controls suitable for left hand? Thanks

[@waynosfotos]

Am in exactly the same position, I have a AK4500, things I don’t like about this gimbal. Horizontal alignment goes out, yes you can straighten in post, but is annoying. Also when you move or push some angles hard the arm flip and locks. I also need to run in action mode as it is so slow panning. I actually like the standard battery idea, if you want extra batteries easy to get. I am thinking to get the RS2 in the runout sales as the new one is out, RS3 pro. Thoughts on upgrading from AK4500 to RS2? Comments appreciated. :)

[@cedric148]

[@JevenDovey]

Great combo with the DJI Drones!

nice tuto. Hesitating between rs2 and rsc2 for z6ii+z24-70 2.8 but I think i will choose rs2. Why isn't it possible to make portrait mode with rs2 without accessory as we do with rsc2 (stand vertical) ?

[@geoi88i]

Sorry if you answered this in the video but, I own an RS2 and was wondering if I can operate it with the pan axis locked... actually I was just doing it but Im scared if that will mess up the pan axis motor over time.. I know the R2 has an accessory external lock for the pan axis

Hi Jeven, I have a good offer on a used RS2. In your video, around TC 2:30 I noticed you had focus issues. Was that because of the gimbal or because of the camera?

[@bobbrown8615]

I have two RS2 units, both show Error 1009 upon doing a Gimbal Self Check, after a successful Calibration and Balance (Excellent on all three axes). It does not always fail, but fails enough for me to not count on it working correctly. I've sent them both the DJI for 'repair' and they replaced them both after finding the faults. Now both of the replacement units yield the same Error 1009. I'm mystified that four of four fail for me and I do not see that others are having the same issues. Any recommendations? Thanks

[@LMC_Media]

Is it possible to have a wireless zoom ? I’m planning on using this with a car gimbal so having the ability to manually Control the zoom ring would be insane

[@925riv]

I just bought this gimbal to start a new chapter in my life. I am 100% new in this field and using the Iphone 13 pro max to start. I'm hopping by the summer I'll have a Sony or Cannon. Until then my question is there anyway I can utilize the gimbal function instead of the Iphone. Any help would be appreciated.

Theoretically, this (DJI RS2 + Raveneye on a tripodd) can be used as a PTZ camera for live stream? But what if I want to send video with Hollyland MARS 300 on my BMD Athem mini, I have to use HDMI switcher as well?

Considering the Desview R7 external monitor, or any other that has hdmi input and output, it is possible to use the RS2 active track using the camera connected by hdmi to the external monitor (hdmi in) and the same monitor connected to Raveneye through the port out of the monitor? Or is active track only possible by directly connecting the camera to Raveneye?
