DJI Ronin S Balancing Info & GH5 Position Settings

[@ZelijahTishbite]

I almost gave up trying to balance it, I felt it was too heavy for the infinite roll.. The motors were struggling to carry it.. I was literally a night sleep away from returning it.. Then I found this video!!! Thank you so much.

Thanks 😊

I've seen a lot of balancing videos. This is by far the best.

[@MadRC]

Thanks. It’s an oldie but a goodie.

Thanks for this video mate. I have just got the Ronin S and the exact camera setup so this saved me a bit of time!

[@jackandthelady5922]

Helped me a lot! Thank you so much :)! Keep going!

[@MadRC]

Thanks :)

great videos, I am trying to find out if my Panasonic DC-FZ82 LUMIX camera will work with the Ronin s gimble, as long as the gimble and the gimble buttons work I can put the camera on auto

[@MadRC]

It will balance but I don't know about control, as it stands today there is very little info on that model.

What is your reference point for dovetail plate? Do you use lens support? I noticed these impact all the settings. Thanks Mad!

[@MadRC]

Waa Productions yes this is something I glossed over sorry, I have the 12-60mm Pan F2.8, I have the lens support fitted basically one the focus ring so that is setting my balance point for the dovetail, I’m going to add a QR as I don’t want the long plate fitted all the time and I’ll do a video on that next week. So yea lens support on the focus ring as I have the hood so that’s the ref.

Have you had any luck using the connection cable ? My gh5 keeps telling me to select a USB mode . Either PC mode or Pictbridge mode . And neither seem to work .

Very nice video!

[@MadRC]

Thanks

[@AlexPower]

Good video! very helpful.Thanks.

[@davidallen306]

What lens was mounted on the GH5 during this video?

[@MadRC]

This is a the Panasonic Leica 12-60 F2.8 - 4, its a good lens.

[@XALIRATE]

Would have been better if you showed how to balance with the camera as opposed to already having it done and then explaining it. Good video still.

[@MadRC]

Thanks for the feedback, there are several videos that are very goon on this already I simply wanted to cover the basics, DJI do have their own too here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaatoaKnnrhgq6c but perhaps I will :)

[@groundedfilms5877]

Thank you for that balancing tip that one is the worst!

[@RomeoWarden]

When I balanced the Ronin S, it scratched... not easy to push the pieces...

[@MadRC]

No you need to take the weight of as you move them especially for the pan and roll arms. You can lift them from below and just wiggle but I have seen reports of scratching too.

[@RomeoWarden]

@@MadRC yeah, I change my Ronin and there were out of stock, so I'll rebuy it and be carreful to not scratch it!
