3 Ways to do Motion Lapse on the DJI Ronin SC

[@andrewlunn]

Very useful - thanks for sharing

[@danielkumar5195]

You could also use an external intervalometer for method 3.

[@blaspayri7722]

thank you for pointing out and trying to explain all the intricacies of this motion lapse feature. I am planning to purchase a Ronin SC but I am not sure I understand how it works and if it really works. But at least I know it exists and can explore its possible functions

[@TreeTanksDev]

You're welcome! Glad the video was helpful to you!

[@meziens15]

Hey nice video man! Do you know how to make a hyperlapse with the Ronin-SC and the sony a6500?

[@TreeTanksDev]

meziens15 hey there! Thanks! Let me come see if i can shoot a video on hyperlapsing over the next few days!

[@MartinKatscan]

Stupid question (but one I haven't seen answered anywhere... Maybe because it stupid).. But when you record a motion lapse through the Ronin app, do you need to physically switch you camera to photo mode first? Or if you were in movie mode, does the Ronin take over and automatically switch the camera to take photos instead of record video?

[@FaceLens]

Martin Katscan that’s not a stupid question at all and when I’m using this functionality with my ronin Sc and Sony a7iii I found that you have to make sure first you are on the photo mode then put all your exposure settings to make sure you get the perfect and balanced colors then start and use your mobile to put the ronin SC to start and capture your motion lapse

Very thank

[@kasuynuts]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your videos are very helpful, been watching since last year. Can I assume that option 2 will also work similarly for RSC2? My camera (Sony A7) is in the compatibility list for Ronin SC, but not for RSC2. And I'm wondering if it's better to buy the newer model even if my camera is not compatible since I have the timelapse feature in the camera. I mainly want to use the gimbal for astrophotography.

[@dnbkdang_mypeacefullife]

Can I use Motion Lapse App with Robin SC (I m having a Canon 750D though). It says I need to connect a cable or sth... Can you help me please?

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

can you set up rotation and tilt points during the 360 rotation?

[@krisadasirisingha1928]

love this ❤❤, this video is necessary to set my sony NEX 5R on it, tks bro 😍

[@588ta]

Thanks for the video.!!!!

[@TreeTanksDev]

You’re welcome!

[@manoranjanlongjam214]

Is timelapse mode compatible with sony a6300?

[@4CardsMan]

So does it work if you're on the move, or does the Ronin SC have to be on a a tripod?. I want to do a hyperlapse with my Nikon Z6. It will do a timelapse, but the screen goes dark while it's recording, which is a bummer. I want to mount it on the Ronin SC, and do the time lapse from a moving boat while hand holding. It seems to me that I will have to use method 2 and put up with the black screen.

[@464sravan]

can i use this time lapse/motion lapse with sony a7 ii + ronin SC + Sony 30mm f/3.5 e-mount Macro Lens ? for Macro food photography ?

[@mgr5550]

Does it do the waypoints in a sharp line only or is there a setting to make it curve slightly. Or how do i get a curve move, like an arc ?

[@TreeTanksDev]

Its straight lines but maybe you can do more waypoints to make it look like curve. Or you can make it curve more naturally in post editing, it should look more natural.

[@mgr5550]

@@TreeTanksDev > But it allows only 5 waypoints right ?

[@Soulkikker]

Very good tutorial. What bracket do you use for the smartphone?

[@TreeTanksDev]

Hey there! Thanks! I use the phone holder than comes in the box.

[@anwaralomaisi3660]

Thank You!

[@scintillatingNoise]

Is the first or second method more battery saving?

[@SayanDe]

kindly make this type of video with weebill s & zy play app

[@stephanelarocque77]

Nice tutorial, however the timelapse at 10:10 isn't fluid. It's because the motion from A to B is too wide for the number of pictures taken. So to be fluid with the same panning, it needs more pictures (smaller interval between each shot).

[@TreeTanksDev]

Stéphane Larocque yeah i totally agree.. the angle was much too wide... a much smaller angle would have looked much better and more natural. Thanks for the tip!

[@TreeTanksDev]

Sorry i misread! Yeah smaller intervals with more photos would make the motionlapse look better. =)

[@John1986ATR]

I am trying to work the timelapse function with the Ronin SC, I am shooting with the fujifilm XT3. Currently I am using the included USB-C cable, as long as I turn the camera on after the Ronin then the app will operate the shutter. It seems ok when doing a relatively fast shutter but when using a 3 second shutter I am seeing blur in the images in the same direction as the track. I'm wondering if it is still moving while starting the shutter. Any thoughts? I know there is an alternative cable for the Fuji which uses the RSS port instead of USB.

[@TreeTanksDev]

John Stoddard hey there! I believe you see referring to the Panasonic RSS cable on the DJI website. I’ve never used a Fujifilm before so i don’t know how fast the Autofocusibg system is. I would guess that because 3 secs is pretty fast, by the time the camera focuses on the image and snaps the photo, the gimbal already starts moving. To counter this, try using Manual focus instead of Autofocus. OR if you want to stick to Autofocus mode, you can increase the F-stop to, for example F12 or F22, that should reduce the Autofocus time as at F22, the image will be infinity. So if you are shooting in low light, you can increase the ISO. Here is a timelapse in low light. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJjSY2qar7CCeJY

[@BarnePeters]

is there any way to have a speedramp ? as soon the motionlapse is finish , the shutter stops so its not possible to have a some seconds without movement.

[@LaBron30]

Hello . I just saw your video . Just bought the ronin sc for my Canon M50 . I downloaded the ronin app but i cannot see motionlapse feature anywhere ,although i can see timelapse . what can i do ?

[@franstv1937]

Is it possible for canon m50? Thanks alot

[@TreeTanksDev]

Yes it is!

[@franstv1937]

@@TreeTanksDev Great! Thanks a lot sir ...Ive been following you in your channel..My ronin will arrive this week..

[@kxinchannel]

i think event with a compatible camera still need to put in the video software, because it only take photo automatic. but didn't help you to combine all the photo into a video. i just try it with my A6400, but didn't know other type of camera.

[@TreeTanksDev]

KaiXin Channel /凱欣频道 hey there! Yes if you use the DJI Ronin app it will take individual photos. Then you need to combine in a video software like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro.

[@evalive9473]

Привет. Какие настройки камеры ты выставляешь? У меня sony a7III не запускается с приложения ronin

[@johnchatz]

oh thts sweet! i have a nikon 5500 and if i didnt see your tutorial i would think that i will not be able to do motionlapse!but now i tried it as you said and i can!problem is that i cannot do the same with the track mode for video..do you know if there is any way to do it without a cable connection?

[@TreeTanksDev]

johnchatz hey there! Track mode, are you referring to the Activetrack 3.0?

[@johnchatz]

@@TreeTanksDev hey!no..im refering to the track mode where you can program 10 positions and record video chosing the duration and stay of the camera

[@StoryWeaver414]

I'm wondering why my Ronin SC not triggering the shutter in timelapse/motionlapse using sony a7iii with and ios app dji ronin

[@TreeTanksDev]

Hmm that only happens to me when the picture is not in focus. Only shots that are in focus, the shutter will trigger and take a picture. The best way to test it out is to shoot in Manual focus on your Sony.

[@florinbalaican7419]

part 2 at 7:20 part 3 at 10:25 thank u very much

[@ArifRahmanShovon]

Ronin SC panorama/Timelapse/Motionlaps related : During using Ronin SC with sony A7iii 17-28mm f2.8 (Lens) setup my all video function & gimbal working perfectly.. But problem is when i'm intend to create panorama/Timelapse/Motionlapse through Ronin App, in App its showing 100% done but in my sony a7iii i didn't getting the captured picture. It will be great help if you have any solution for this... Note : Gimbal adjustment/balance perfect done from my end & checked through app+calibration also done.

[@TreeTanksDev]

Arif Rahman hey there! I guess things to recheck is whether you are using the correct cable specifically for Sony. And whether you have plugged it in correctly. The angled side of the usb-c cable needs to be plugged into the Ronin SC. The straight side of the usb-c goes into the camera. Next thing to check when doing the motionlapse... whether the photo is in focus. If the photo is not in focus, the photos wont be taken. Hope this helps! 😀

[@ArifRahmanShovon]

@@TreeTanksDev regarding usb c cable & plugging position is correct but i have dought on the photo focus issue. for focusing shall i need to use it manually or auto? sorry i'm asking too many question :)

[@TreeTanksDev]

Arif Rahman no worries! Depends on if you are doing day or night motionlapses. During the day, i use autofocus, but at night i prefer to use manual focus. You can try it out in a brightly lit area first to see if it works correctly in autofocus mode. 😀

[@crank_FPV]

I am having trouble getting my time lapse to show up directly on the a6400 after shooting it, is there a way to do this? I set it up on my camera and ronin app and press camera then app at the same time and it works but needs editing for it to show up..any tips?

[@marcelouribe8631]

hello ... you know I can't use the TIMELAPSE of ronin sc or I have to use the timelapse ed my a7III ... I can only record video BUT I can't edit photos and the menu of CREATION timelapse ..hyperlapse etc ... greetings

[@NigelAquascaping]

The cable that came with dji ronin sc doesn't fit on my canon 200d?

[@TreeTanksDev]

Nigel Aquascaping nope it doesnt! Neither is the canon 200d on the camera compatability list. I have done a video on that Canon 200d and Canon EOS RP if you havent checked it out yet.

[@JohnnyMotel99]

if the camera is compatible with SC, is the camera set to just single shot?

[@TreeTanksDev]

yes the Ronin app is controlling the shutter so its in single shot.

[@JohnnyMotel99]

@@TreeTanksDev I have found a strange behaviour with time-lapse on the SC. I set up a 180 degree pan/time-lapse. Up to about 1/2 way the gimbal keeps the camera level (green overlay line) then past 1/2 way, the gimbal doesn't keep the camera level. It doesn't do this in preview, only when under app control. I'd appreciate if you could try this out. My settings are 1sec, 3minutes. 180 shots. What I have seen is the green level lines on GH5 start out BOTH green, but as pan progresses, the up/down line remains green, the side to side line goes yellow. I am waiting for DJI response...

[@JohnnyMotel99]

what if the shutter fires at just the moment the gimbal shifts?

[@TreeTanksDev]

this will make the photos blurry. its better to turn off the Live Preview on the camera and set to Manual focus mode if your camera autofocusing is slow or if shooting at night. This will prevent the camera from missing taking a photo. If the focus is off, the camera won't take a photo.
