The pan has a balancing, it’s the last in the manual. You are supposed to tilt the handle to the side to balance it. All of the axis have specific balance tests so you aren’t turn the app on and off to check balance, straining the motors.

[@paulg3388]

Hi, thanks for the great video. I have a Sony A7S iii with a small Sony hot shoe mic, and after purchasing the Kondor Cage I realised the Mic cannot be in the hot shoe mount at the same time. There is an extension cable but only available for order in the US, and I haven't found a way of ordering it. I have one option which is to buy the larger XLR Sony Mic which I believe you have in this Video. My question is, how is that Mic powered? Is it powered directly from the FX3 included handle? or do you power it via a Cable as I cannot see one in your video. I am aware that the extension power cable comes with the XLR set, so I can of course move that new Mic to another location on the Rig, but I just wanted to know if it is powered by cable in your setup, or via the direct handle connection for the FX3? thanks for any help here !

[@pocketrecordslk]

Well explained. Thank you

[@edgriffin2628]

Your tutorial was excellent. All went well until I ran the Ronin Assistant. It could not find the gimbal on Bluetooth, which is an issue that has existed for at least 2 years. Any tips on getting around this? DJI does not seem interested in correcting the issue. I cannot operate my Ronin SC. Thank you.

[@VerseVisualz]

Once you tighten the silver screws when you balance your camera, do you then lock the things you unlocked at first? Or do you just keep them unlocked the whole time?

[@TreeTanksDev]

Hey there! You can lock all the axis and balance one at a time. Or you can keep all the axis unlocked and balance. Normally for me i just keep the Pan axis locked and balance the other 2 axis. =)

[@speedbird737]

Can you try balancing with the camera holder and phone on top of the camera

[@TreeTanksDev]

Haha I'm good thanks! Just back from Perth and looking for some new cameras to do more setups on the DJI Ronin SC and Zhiyun Crane M2.

[@ericthestone]

There is a way to adjust your Pan axis rather than just guessing. And lock the specific axis once you are done balancing it.

[@TreeTanksDev]

Yes thanks for pointing that out! Initially i was using the Ronin App. For the Pan Axis, you need to turn the camera 45 degrees to the top left.

[@TeamHarrisonMachine]

Excellent tutorial!!

[@ejhowardphoto6574]

Hello. I really enjoyed watching this very detailed video. I appreciate that you show closeups of where to connect things. Most other videos do too much talking and it drives me away. Your video is very helpful. I was able to get the gimbal setup without looking at the manual. I have never used a gimbal on a DSLR camera before, so there is a learning curve for me. One thing I missed in your video was how to check the gimbal battery level. I used the manual for that. No problem. I just got the dji RC gimbal that was an Open Box product from Adorama. Everything was included, so I am happy with that. I saved $. I am using a Canon 80D with a Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 lens for real estate photos. I hope to buy the Canon EOS RP meted to a Canon RF 14-35mm f/4 in the future. Pricy at $1700 US. Have you tested the RC gimbal on the Canon 80D? I was hoping to make it the default camera for any video work. Im am not sure if I want to use a single camera and lens setup and switch back and forth. Any suggestions on what software to use for video editing? And how to offload the videos from SD card to another device? I guess I'm asking about a simple workflow that works for you? Another learning curve as well. Thanks again. Suggestions?

Thanks for the video. Can the gimbal charge the Sony camera with that USB-C cable, or just control? Also, is is possible to charge the gimbal from a power-bank while using? Thanks for your answers in advance.

[@TreeTanksDev]

Hey there! You're welcome! Yes its possible to charge the gimbal with a power bank. The USB-c cable connecting the Sony camera to the Ronin SC is for controlling only. I dont think it can use to charge. The Zhiyun Crane M2 has that feature but dont think the Ronin SC.

[@vishaljoshi21]

Bro please suggest best gimble for canon 200d

[@TreeTanksDev]

Agyani Pandit hey there! Hmm... i would say the Ronin SC because the Zhiyun Crane m2 cant balance the 200d with a zoom lens as it would be too heavy. And the Ronin S would be overkill for the 200d. Also another good alternative would be the Zhiyun Weebil Lab for the 200d. Hope this helps! 😀

[@Mantas.Filmmaker]

Hello @treetanksdev. Does the camera charging with this small cable connected to one of axis???

[@TreeTanksDev]

Mantas Bijeikis The charging port uses the USB-C to USB cable. The charging port location is on the back of the gimbal which is covered by a rubber piece. Remove the rubber to reveal the charging port. The usb-c port on the axis is for connect to your camera so that your camera can communicate with the gimbal to use the functions in the DJI Ronin app.

[@sreedharcp]

Hi broo, you did a good video I love it but you made me confused that you are not informed or showed that so we need to lock or unlock the motors during balancing.

you are making the balancing process far more difficult than it needs to be - you balance each axis separately you don't hold the arm as you showed - each axis is locked in place by the axis lock removing the need to manually hold each arm as done with the ronin s
