DJI Ronin-S Field Review

Whether you’re an experienced cinematographer or a stills photographer exploring your camera’s video functionality - the challenge of creating smooth dynamic camera movement isn’t insignificant. Enter the DJI Ronin-S. Yes, 3-axis gimbals are nothing new, but the Ronin-S enables anyone with minimal experience to create smooth camera movements. #DJI #Ronin-S #Gimbal

I can't tell you how many videos I've watched on ronin-s functionality, use, and so called "comprehensive reviews". Yours, without a doubt, is the best I've seen. I'm sure it took considerable work to put this video together. Thank you.

[@3DEditor]

Most thorough review I have seen of the Ronin S so far. Thanks for demonstrating multiple lenses on it. I have the Panasonic Lumix G9 and I use a couple of different lenses. Seeing that you mounted and balanced some pretty long and heavy lenses on it, I believe the Leica 100-400 telephoto zoom lens should work. I would just need to balance it while the zoom is half way between. I would like to experiment with some alfred Hitchcock effect filming as well as be able to zoom in and out while filming nature from a distance while maintaining smooth footage. It's too difficult to achieve that manually zooming by hand. Panasonic only makes one power zoom lens that only reach 140mm, I need more than that, which is why I'm considering purchasing the Ronin S as long as it's features would be fully or mostly compatible with the Panasonic Lumix G9.

[@EscapeScenes]

Just picked up my Ronin S, appreciate your work Neil, great tips. Look forward to using it around Sydney.

[@neilfisher]

Thanks @Escape Scenes 👍 Good timing on pulling the trigger - the new firmware really takes the Ronin-S up a notch 😃😃😃

[@kylehislipstudio3280]

Well done! Great explanations and examples, wonderful footage. Keep up the good work, and thank you!

I just ordered one of these a couple hours ago. I love the porta-crane idea. I have a 12' Kessler, without a pan/tilt head... until now. Thanks for a great video!

[@neilfisher]

Ooooo... very jealous of that 12' Kessler @Spotfire 😃 Not sure if you saw the most recent Ronin-S firmware upgrade that enables control via a PS4 or Xbox controller - I immediately thought of crane use 👍👍👍

[@SpotfireVideo]

@@neilfisher Thanks! I'll look into that.

[@gamernick1533]

I wish you would produce more videos, you are a superb presenter and videographer. Your sound is second to none by the way, it's rare that I notice just how awesome my headset is whilst watching KZbin videos. A real pleasure to watch and super jealous of the environment you get to shoot in!! I would throttle for the opportunity to shoot in Canada :)

[@neilfisher]

Many thanks @Gamer Nick 😃 Happy to hear that people do appreciate sound quality. I've always argued that sound is 50% of a video. 👍👍

[@gamernick1533]

@@neilfisher Absolutely :) Especially now that most people have access to at least semi-decent sound reproduction. Can't wait to see some more GWN videos!

[@MatthiasHeil]

What an amazing and engaging tutorial, thanks ever so much, Neil! - We've just started filming our weekly (non-public) church services, and I'm discovering more and more ingenious quality features of my good, old, and previously very rarely used for video Canon EOS 80D. I got the Ronin S yesterday, and after your video, I've just ordered the PZ-E1 (you've squeezed that one in between the camera and the Ronin, which made me go "yes!!!" when I saw it) and a decent tripod/monopod (Sirui KN1 Carbon + G-10KX) to beef things up a bit in comparison to our first try (which was just taken on my Note 10+) - you're a fantastic teacher, and your sense of humor (you must be CEO of Tripod-Artistry!) and enthusiasm for what you are doing are exemplary. VERY well-done, Sir!

[@aerospacenews]

Neil I know this is nearly a year old but we are considering getting one of these units. It was my entry to your channel. Really well done. Top notch reasoning, sharing of experiences and rationale, and great looking b-roll. We need to use something like an 80-200 all the time for aviation shots so hearing you mention it was possible despite the -S specs was really eye opening.

[@neilfisher]

Thanks so much @AeroSpaceNews.com 👍 It may be a year, but it's perfect timing to grab one - as DJI recently updated the firmware to add a few fun features from the Ronin-SC 😃😃😃

[@aerospacenews]

@@neilfisher Most welcome. Yes, I'd spotted that and it was one of the reasons I'd taken a new look.

[@000Rehage000]

Great review, Excellent content, great delivery. Please make more!

[@neilfisher]

Many thanks @000Rehage000 😃 Producing this single video took nearly two months - hard to squeeze the creation of KZbin videos in between working full time and raising children 😆 ... having said that, there are more video in the pipeline 👍 👍 👍

[@varyag6665]

This was perfectly timed with the price drop this week. I would have liked to see how you carry it, I do worry it will take a lot of space in my backpack. And I have to say you channel is a hidden gem. Love the content, the footage and the general feel of your videos!

[@neilfisher]

Thanks so much for the kind words @Varyag 😃 The best way I can describe how I pack the Ronin-S... is very awkwardly. Using a F-stop tilopa with the large ICU the battery and mini tripod are stored in the upper flap pocket and the gimbal platform sits atop the ICU wrapped in whatever clothing I happen to be bringing I'll try and snap a photo the next time I head out. 👍

[@varyag6665]

Thanks @Peteonthebeat 😃 Greatly appreciate the feedback👍 I haven't sold mine solely because it's depreciated so darn fast - I can't believe how little a use Ronin-S is selling for currently. It's worth more to me than what I can sell it for - so, it remains part of my kit.

[@POTBFitnessandLife]

@@neilfisher Yes. The Ronin-S is an amazing piece of gear. And your production quality really stands out. Can you please let me know about the actual piece of gear you use to hold the 2nd tripod that can also be a monopod? Thanks! Stay Safe! POTB

[@neilfisher]

The pieces that allows a monopod, or smaller tripod, to be mounted on a to sturdy tripod is a Shape baseplate (don’t know the exact model) and two Manfrotto super clamps... plus a few extra nuts and bolts to secure everything together. It’s surprising strong, but I wouldn’t trust it with anything bigger than a Canon 5 series, or a camera of equivalent weight 👍

Thanks for such a great video, Neil. I fit into the "stills photographer venturing into the videography world" category you mentioned. For the past couple of months since I bought my Nikon Z6 and Ronin S, my head has been spinning. I've watched countless KZbinrs for both general videography tips as well as videos that are specific to my camera or my gimbal.

astonishing clips. I have the same setup beside the lens, I'm using 24-105mm f4, and I gotta say it's not just the camera and the Ronin S that gets you those clips you saw up there. I've been struggling to get shake free and smooth footage even after slowing things down. Neil is no beginner, there is more to it than just a gimbal and camera. One thing that caught my attention is how did you control the focus then? they are so on point and silky smooth.

[@neilfisher]

Thank so much @Sina Nikkhah I've been pulling focus with the Tilta Nucleus Nano, which has been working beautifully.

[@neilfisher]

Great to it works so well @VISION0STUDIO 😃

[@quasiguy]

Terrific job. You've got a great camera presence and offer a lot of helpful content. I've got the Ronin S and completely agree about the locking option. There is another gimbal manufacturer that offers that feature (I think it may be the Zhiyun Crane?) and it would be a giant help to be able to lock everything down for transport. One of my challenges is using a zoom lens like the 16-35 and then wondering if I need to rebalance it if I change focal length. (The Ronin S's motors seem to handle the change, however with a 70-200, you'd really have to rebalance if you went from one end of the range to the other. The biggest problem for me though is figuring out how to balance the gimbal with an external mic like the Rode VideoMic Pro on top. You have to face the lens upward as part of the balancing and this is impossible to do with a mic on top. Any suggestions? Or do you not worry about getting good sync sound. As a one-man run and gunner, I'd really like to find a solution to this vexing problem.

[@neilfisher]

Thanks @Jay Freeman 😃 I've had the opportunity to use the command unit and I still feel that it shouldn't be necessary. Having used the Zhiyun Crane 2 with its integrated LCD display - it just seems like something every 3-axis gimbal should have. I am aware that it's possible to charge cameras via the Ronin-S, provided the camera supports USB charging - which mine do not. I don't like making videos that simply list specifications of a product, because I was unable to try USB camera charging - I didn't want to provide thought on something I couldn't vouch for... if that makes sense. Thanks again. 👍

This is a quality video. I just got this. I balanced it using the same kit - 5D IV + 16-35 II. App shows all axis properly balanced. But when I hold it at about 45 degree angle facing forward, the camera is tilting down. Only way I can make it face horizontal properly is by moving the joystick. I have reset it but still no luck. Also when I walk with it, and say turn right, the pan axis seems to drift to the left. Any suggestions on where I can check? Thank you very much.

Many thanks @Jerry Hernandez 👍 I very much appreciate the kind words. The tripod system I use is a Sachtler FSB-6T fluid head and Gitzo Systematic GT3542LS legs. I've been very happy with the combination of head and legs - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKmTm3yXh8l-hdE
