Hey dude great vid! Whats the range of the raveneye? I was thinking about buying one just to control my cam on range for taking vids of myself. Would that work?

[@keith-knittel]

@@user-dh5fp4gw1b that's a really good question, and I have no idea the answer to it. I haven't experienced any dropouts in the same room. This is probably dependant on your device's wifi range as you're using your device's wifi to connect to the RavenEye's wifi. So depending on how well your device can pick up that connection? I'll have to test that out with my iPhone!

[@user-dh5fp4gw1b]

@@keith-knittel its actually a pretty great idea like, lets say you want to take a pic for insta or something. Never do u have to use a remote for your camera anymore u can watch the screen and get a nice composition and just take the pic like that

[@Snowmurai]

Need to pee now. Great vid! Thx!

[@AA-ld6eo]

Hey my Gimbal Wobbles the whole time and its unstable when i want to shoot on the ground....do u have the same Problems?

[@cinergymedia5455]

Great vid, mate. precise and no BS tutorial and gets the points across perfectly, thanks for sharing :)

[@jimzielinski]

This helped a lot, thank you very much. The quick tips recap towards the end was incredibly helpful too.

[@keith-knittel]

Thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the video

[@TheOriginalGregToo]

Great video with a lot of really helpful information. Appreciated how concise you were in your tips. This should be required viewing for all new RS2 owners. Thanks for making this, will definitely be checking out your other content.

[@keith-knittel]

Glad you enjoyed it, Greg! Thats one of the biggest compliments I can get, thank you so much for the kind words and checking out my other content. Comments like these fuel me to make more videos! Glad I could help you out, it's a nice gimbal - but a little confusing at first. Thanks again for watching and commenting

[@kitmimichan]

Thank you so much for making this video! Really helpful! Especially love the shortcut introduction.

[@keith-knittel]

Glad it was helpful and thanks for the feedback! Will try to include more shortcuts in future videos!

[@streamiumlive]

Great getting the list of shortcuts at the end. I have to agree - switch (almost) everything off and add in only what you need. Tech is designed to be feature packed, but it intrudes on usability. Thanks so much for this video.

[@anthonyjtravis]

Thank you for a great video Keith. It’s well-paced, clearly explained and well-presented, with lots of really useful information and ideas. It’s helped me get to know my new RS2 really quickly - much quicker than I expected🙂

[@keith-knittel]

I'm glad you found it useful, I just answered your comment on another video - thank you so much for the kind words and support, Anthony!

[@MrArtiisan]

This video alone was enough for me to subscribe, well put together. Talked about things alot of channels/videos neglected.

Nice work, Keith! I found your video very helpful and informative. Thanks for taking the time to show us the tricks of the RS2. Got any good tips on getting a quick balance? This is where I struggle and can take way too long to get this dialed in prior to a shot. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

[@imagesbyrina]

Fantastic video. Super helpful! 🙏🏻 Thanks for making it! Turning options off FTW! 🙌🏻

[@keith-knittel]

I thought saying to turn off features would be a little controversial, but glad other people like to turn off features that they don’t use! Thanks for the kind words

[@keith-knittel]

Wish I could have gotten this video up sooner but I had to use the gimbal to figure things out then film all the video and broll. This video took forever to make. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@savillecreations8046]

@@keith-knittel when I received my RS2 I searched KZbin for a video like yours and couldn't find anything that had so much good information. Everything mostly was an unboxing video from the typical people. Even DJI's page said "Coming Soon" on information. So your video helped a ton. Thanks again.

[@brittacurkovic]

Thanks those shortcuts were very helpful!

[@keith-knittel]

Glad you like them! The shortcuts were something that I forgot, so I included them in this video - glad they were helpful! Thanks for watching and the feedback

[@user-ko9gr6gk6t]

All tips enjoyed Yayyy!!

[@retlwiz]

The tips about locking the screen and turning a load of stuff off were great, as was the using the controls to get sports mode, which I prefer for more natural movement. Just got mine yesterday and really enjoying the improvements over the original Ronin-S, which has done me great service.

Just got the gimbal after the Crane and Crane 2S....this is a sweet setup. The tips to turn off features not needed is quite useful. The entire video is good.

[@keith-knittel]

Glad it helped, and thanks for the kind words! I have the Crane 2S as well and find myself reaching for the RS2 more often but those are great back up or secondary gimbals. Thanks for the kind words, Amir!

Thank you fo this awesome video. I’m a new gimbal user and would love to see more. DJI and their tutorials are not always the best and as of now there are none, I would love more tips and tricks about the cables and set ups... thanks again.

[@keith-knittel]

I was thinking about doing a camera control/raven eye / focus motor setup because it’s honestly kind of difficult to put all of this together the first time you do it. Would you be interested in a video like that? Thanks for the kind words and watching

[@TheReal-HopeBoykinDance]

Yes please. I was able to understand so much more after watching your video. Thanks loads!

[@kurokid2441]

just got mine. excellent explanation for those who wanna get on wit'it. keep on shooting~

Congrats on the new RS2! It's a great gimbal once you figure out the features! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@jakoblichtenfeld]

That was a very nice video! Extremely informative and has helped my decision in buying RS2 or RSC2 a lot. Thanks.

[@keith-knittel]

Glad I could help! Which are you going with, Jakob? Just curious to know why you chose one over the other. I liked the screen (and carbon fiber, if I'm honest!) on the RS2. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@jakoblichtenfeld]

@@keith-knittel Its definitely going to be the RS2. We got the normal RS at our company and got some changes coming right now in terms of how we produce our content and need to be sometimes able to change to vertical and I thought maybe it’s better to pick up the RSC2 then, but honestly now it’s a now brainer to stick with the RS2 because of alle the new features and of course the carbon fibre

[@charleslacasse8378]

Awesome videos! I ordered one couple days ago, so glad I watched your video!

[@keith-knittel]

Glad I could help! Enjoy the new gimbal and thanks for watching

[@joebro937]

Holding the mode and trigger at the same time was probably my favorite next to the disabling of the portrait and 360 modes.

Super helpful video. I am currenty evaluating a gimbal for my A1 and this could be the one.

Very Nice walkthrough - thanks mate - and thanks for not wasting time going through balancing ha ha 😛

[@keith-knittel]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm never sure how in-depth to go with these videos. I want them to be informative, but not boring. I figured balancing was something you really only need to learn once, so I left it out. Thanks for the feedback!

[@jasonjames524]

The lock touch screen tip was it for me! That was my only complaint about the RS2... now it's perfect, thanks for that 😁👍🏾

[@adamsviscom2440]

Thank you for the menu lock! First time using it, I was constantly making un-wanted changes. Also, be sure to really, and I mean really tighten you locks on the RS 2. Shooting from a Heli, I got some un-wanted vibrations and I think it was mainly not really tightening down on the clamps on the carbon arms.

[@keith-knittel]

Ooh man, that sounds fun! Shooting from a helicopter sounds like a great time, were you using super smooth on your RS2? That's supposed to eliminate any micro jitters from things like that. I use Super Smooth when filming the car videos on my channel and have had some great results. Thanks for the kind words and watching!
