DJI Ronin S Setup - THIS WILL SAVE YOUR FOOTAGE!

[@DmitriMironov]

I don't know your name. But that's how a tutorial should look like. Calm, easy-going and very informative. I have just purchased the Ronin s today. Thank you you saved me a lot of time!

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Hahah awesome! I’m Josh by the way :)

[@CoachAnthonyMiller]

You have one of the BEST tutorials on the settings features of DJI Ronin-S in KZbin land. I appreciate you immensely for making this video. Keep at it. Peace.

[@mariostarfilms4523]

before this video I was going to return my Ronin s.... wow I love my ronin now. bro great video

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Glad to hear it man! Thank you for watching :)

[@anoopammanath7462]

Useful video. I suggested the video to one of my friends. He bought Ronin-S last week.

[@xxphactor]

Since this is my first gimbal, my main problem is knowing what is the proper characteristics I should expect from a gimbal. For example, when I'm walking, it camera would want to pan on its own without my feedback. It got to the point that I was ready to return it since my handheld work seemed much better ...lol But something about your video finally clicked with me that I think I finally understand what the settings are trying to do (for example, deadband). I'm going to give it another week.

[@MomentumProductions1992]

Hi Peter, sorry about the trouble. How well is your system balanced?

[@xxphactor]

@@MomentumProductions1992 Hey! I think I had figured it out. When you demonstrated the response of the gimbal when you turned the handle and adjusted the settings to stiffen it up, that was the secret sauce for me to wrap my head around the settings! Thanks again for the video!

[@Yartin]

I wish my life was as balanced as this man's gimbal :'( Jokes aside, great info - thank you!

[@BGMScotland]

Completely forgot to add, massive thanks for the video. Just got mines and I’m all set for its first shoot. Moved from the Zhiyun Crane V1 to the Ronin S. It feels like the real deal whereas the Crane felt like a kids toy haha!

[@HighGravityAdventures]

Dude, this video was spot on what I needed. Im not new to gimbals and certainly not new to DJI products, but i am new to the Ronin S and I was getting frustrated with it. These settings made all the difference, thanks!!

[@MomentumProductions1992]

So glad to hear it man!

[@HighGravityAdventures]

@@MomentumProductions1992 I just sub'd

[@be.perfect]

Very nice, thank you for the useful tips. A suggestion would be to record the footage from the camera on the gimbal each time, so we can see the results of the adjustments you are making as well. I know it's more editing work but might make the tutorial even more comprehensive... Anyway thanks again :)

[@raybreaux2146]

Although the app is different, the information is easily applied as tilt, pan and roll still work the same. People that make comments on here about outdated information have more than likely not watched the entire video. Thank you for taking your time to educate us.

[@thetravisgreene]

Super clear explanation. Always curious what deadband was. Guess I could've looked it up, but this was well done. Just wish there was shot-by-shot examples with the different parameters. Anyhow, thanks for uploading!

[@david_miles83]

Man! This Video helped me a lot, I bought a Ronin SC and my first shoot was a concert and I only balanced the gimbal. Once the concert was done and I was reviewing the video it was not smooth and shaky the whole time :(

[@petrub27]

the most important setting is the deadband but it's counter intuitive when it's set to high, the actual gimbal will respond very slow

[@PattyBlogs]

Really great tips. Couldn't wrap my head around deadband until this. Thank you!

[@glnnk_art]

After a year of running the Ronin as-is, I finally did some customizing. Already feels waaaay different, but I have yet to try it out on actual shoots. Pretty sure it will make quite a difference though. One thing to mention, the app changed quite drastically since this videos, you cant set high, med, low, per axis anymore, just for all axes together. Or maybe I missed that one.

[@patb.814]

I'm new to this as well and have been a bit lost since it seems like the app has changed compared to the older videos. I believe you can get the same thing if you go under user profile and either under your M1, M2, or M3 tab there is the "speed" choice (right under the image of the ronin) and that can be changed to low, medium, or high. Let me know if that's what you were looking for. Thanks

[@TravelMomoirs]

This is the only tutorial that actually helped. Thanks so much!

[@edlichanimation]

That was the best Ronin S setup video! Thanks. You got a new subscriber.

[@timelapsega]

I think the biggest thing you can do to get better footage from the Ronin is getting a dual handle setup. This dude is jacked but if you're not it's way easier to control movement and get smooth footage with 2 handles.

[@lionroots11]

Hi enjoy your video do you have video like the for the Ronin-s2? I have having problems when I pan left right it response slow?

[@flyguy8787]

Honestly I owned the Ronin S for about 30 days and no matter how much I adjusted the smoothtrack settings I could never get it to feel “right” for me. I ended up returning it and got the MOZA air 2 and I utterly love it, right out of the box it just seems to flow better with my style of filming and movements (although it’s also really easy to adjust). While the Air 2 feels a little bit “cheaper” I feel like it’s just a better gimbal (although I do think the Ronin S is still good)

[@easyyOnTwitch]

glad you stopped by a ronin-s video to tell us about buying another gimbal :D

[@flyguy8787]

easyy You’re very welcome, being that the MOZA air 2 is better bang for your buck, not requiring the costumer to purchase hundreds of dollars worth of extra accessories to have the same functionality I knew that people would appreciate my input and you just proved it, thanks 😃

[@roshanpatel3972]

Can you do a updated video with the new update and what all the settings mean?

thanks, I was not getting to understand "Push Pan" option....it is actually an option to move/adjust the axis with your very hands hands....now I get it :-) thanks a lot....what for you need to adjust the axis with your hand if you can always do it with the joystick ?

[@MichaelGilbertProductions]

great video!

[@benrecordingstudio]

Useful, thank you. Especially push pan

[@flyguy8787]

Also: what would your suggestion be for a very small gimbal that is just strong enough to handle an iPhone with the moment anamorphic lens with the ND adapter and beefy Hoya variable ND filters on it? Phone gimbals can’t handle it properly even with the counter weight as adding an ND and ND adapter takes it over the payload edge, I’m hoping something in the very small mirrorless payload category would do the trick (something “1 tiny step above phone gimbal” so to speak). I’m a Canon 1DX ii shooter (with the MOZA air 2) and Ive decided to turn my iPhone into my “leave in the glovebox to have on me always/b cam” until Sony releases the A7Siii to keep my gear acquisition syndrome satisfied 😂😂 so now I’m looking a very lightweight gimbal to pair it with. As much as I would LOVE to pick up the weebill I feel like even that may be overkill.

[@rlee5101]

Hy, me and a lot of my friend use ronin S and we have a trouble that was underslung mode. We want a low angle shot and we feel unreliable shaky footage even we lock the gimbal still. Do u have any experience like me?

We have this kind of problem too at underslung mode in the latest firmware too, we have 3 units and all of them are having the same issue.

[@nickwilson796]

I noticed it too, however I think you have the access to it, but the app has been updated with more control over the Smooth track. You can go from low Smooth track to high effect. If you find that option, you most likley have it already activated. If I remember correctly you will have to go to the User Profile section, scroll down to the bottom, press the Controll button and at last go to motion.
