DJI RONIN RSC 2 // Setup, Unboxing, Balancing

[@TimConnor13]

Anybody thinking about getting one? Or bought one already? I’ve really been digging mine so far, small footprint/setup, and it’s functioning great.

[@r.natearanda2430]

Mine just came in looking forward to setting it up and testing it out

[@touchtennis]

Got the pro combo and regretting it so far as I’m not a pro by any stretch! I can’t figure out which ports the raveneye and focus motor plug in to!

[@TimConnor13]

@@touchtennis yeah that pro combo is really for people shooting MF a lot. I didn't think it was a need for me. As a kicker that MF thing only calibrates with CINE lenses, or lenses with a hard MF stop.

[@touchtennis]

@@TimConnor13 no you can set an a and b point for the focus wheel!

[@KrazyWorldWars]

Just picked one up today from Best buy

[@nauka9634]

You might mention that the first step of unfolding the gimbal requires a decent amount of force. I had some problems with it and I was afraid that I could break it. I googled that some other people had the same concern!

[@TimConnor13]

Word! Thank you

[@panasea1507]

you mean the lock knob? i just got an rsc2 and i can't unlock and put it how its supposed to

[@punk3900]

@@panasea1507 you turn it left untill its lose and then you need to use some force to move upwards the part that is bent towards the ground. I hope it helps

[@MaryKayUlsamer]

@@punk3900 Thank you so much! None of the videos show the force needed. Wish I’d seen your comment an hour ago :)

[@beys0557]

This comment safed my life hahah thanks!

[@rossnoise]

Thank you for the tutorial. Easy to follow and got mine balanced right away.

[@leswhalan6795]

Thanks Tim. Your balancing instructions are by far the best I've watched. I appreciate your work!

[@WealthandWisdom]

Nice Job💯 Finally a video that shows how to set up, I’m a newbie w/gimbals

[@TimConnor13]

Awesome.. I was too, I’m glad it helped!

[@dadesignbco]

Thank you for the video, my question is what the role of those cables?

[@stuartwconwayphotographyan9745]

Its for focus control and triggering the camera shutter through the app etc - basically communicating between the app/ camera and gimbal :-)

[@TimConnor13]

Thanks for the help Stuart!

[@babyyybeaaaa]

this was so helpful! thank you very much. i’m a musician and i wanted to record my music videos on my own so i bought a sony and a gimble and ran straight to youtube once i realized what a contraption this was. thank you.

[@mko7680]

You forgot to mention which settings we need to do in the camera menu to control with the gimble. If I press record button, it does not start recording.

[@david.merrick]

Just got the RSC2 and was super confused by it at first, haha. I’m sure it’ll be intuitive once I get used to setting it up. Thanks for this video! Very helpful.

[@TimConnor13]

Glad it helped

[@DeejayDjini]

which lens do you use??

[@TimConnor13]

Most frequent the 16-35F/4 and the 24/1.4 ... I do switch it up tho

[@murraymacd]

What about the Raven Eye? Is it worth getting?

[@TimConnor13]

Hey Murray it wasn’t for me because I don’t shoot manual focus/night video that often with my gimbal. And my AF is good enough for my needs. But it could be a really good thing if you need those things.

[@murraymacd]

@@TimConnor13 it was the Active Track feature which I was interested in.

[@dilmerv]

Great video dude thanks I just got this gimbal and your video will save me a lot of time.

this video very helpful I just purchase the dji rsc 2 gimbal, im a newbie at it

[@SunZiqOfficial]

I'm a canon m100 user but can't connect the camera and dji rsc2 what's the solution. which cable should I use?

[@rsstnnr76]

I just got mine today. I'm anxious to balance it and give it a shot. What does the cable do?

[@TimConnor13]

It connects it to the camera. So you can control focus and the shutter. 👍👌

[@nehadavda7586]

Thank you! I got it RSC2. I have connected my camera with micro USB to type c cable. And it got connected. But I am not able to focus via front dial (focus dial). What can I do?

[@TimConnor13]

did you get this resolved?

[@nehadavda7586]

@@TimConnor13 yeah, I will have to use focus motor for Front dial to work as focus dial.

[@pablo-saitua]

Seems for the Fuji x t3 the Primes are not fully compatible. At least not yet. Can not make the autofocus trigger work on the 16 1.4 and 56 1.2. The aperture and iso can also not be changed in video modus. The focus pulling does seem to work.

[@TimConnor13]

Ahh bummer.. good thing about DJI is they are good about compatibility and hopefully have a firmware update in the hopper

[@SerenityStar3000]

Can the rsc2 also be used as a tripod for photography? Not that i want it for that but it would be cool if i could also make a photo without switching to a proper tripod.

[@TimConnor13]

Yes you sure can

I have a sony a9 and want to do video with my 135 g master, tamron 70-180 f2.8 & ramron 28-75 f2.8 I want to do video of fast moving dogs. Will this gimbal be ideal for shooting action in focus?

[@TimConnor13]

Yes, that application could work well. A big tripod with a really smooth head could work well for your application too.

[@themarksmanABP]

@@TimConnor13 it's more for shooting video of them jumping over things such as logs etc in forests & parks. I'd need to move with the camera. Thank you

[@sajidhasan7344]

Hi. I have a Canon 80D and I usually use a 50mm lens. I am thinking to buy the RSC2. Do you think it is the right choice in terms of payload and balancing? Appreciate your reply

[@TimConnor13]

If the payload will support that total weight, yes. It also comes down to what you want as an end user size wise. But if total weight is under the payload you'll get that silky smooth footage 🤘

[@user-ol2el3rj5n]

Good video, thank you for sharing

Thanks my friend!

I wonder if this will fit the Sony RX10 IV?

Silly question - i am stuck on the first assembly move - i cannot "rock this thing back" regardless to position of lock/unlock wheel - the arm is stuck... What am I doing wrong?

[@onthemove8742]

Ok, i got it, however, it's very stiff even though it's unlocked. I have to put some force to fold it back on the handle - is it normal?

Great video. I’m having difficulty locating where to plug the RSC2 into my LUMIX camera. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Ive just bought one and ik making a unboxing/revieuw vid about it now. Only mine is extremely long and boring. Any tips?

Thanks for this. Does it come with the lead to trigger the record button. I have a lumix s5 and wondering if the record button syncs once its hooked up to the camera. Also how long would you say the battery life is? And does the camera twist un expectedly on the mount with the base plate? Thanks.

Yes, on record button but you can check compatibility.. battery life is long 8-12 hours.. I never crush it.. No twisting problems. - Tim
