DJI Ronin S2 & RSC2 | Best New Gimbals of 2020?

[@indymogul]

Follow Dave on Twitter at twitter.com/davemaze or IG at geni.us/davemaze_ig! Thanks for watching!

[@archiebeatz]

I've watched 5-10 DJI Ronin RS 2 & RSC 2 videos. This video is the reason why I am purchasing the RSC 2... Right now on Amazon. I used your links as well man. Thanks for sharing.

[@BavleoIQ]

Why its worth upgrade from the RSC 1 to RSC2 - More payload = better balance - Active track 3.0 feature, is much smoother with the new RSC2, you don't need to balance it on the top of ur camera witch means more weight on ur setup - The smooth shoots, when you are in a rush you can shot with gimbal then switch to handheld shoot in sec and back etc without losing the balance = better workflow - The design and the new package looks really professional That got me sold for this. What do you think?

[@elvispresley2542]

Active track without a phone!?!?! Saving my pennies.

[@premiumparis]

Yep ! And with the 3D focus module it works on blackmagic and with MF / cinema lenses too !!

[@jmac2050]

That battery grip is a deal breaker. They can go kick rocks

[@theothertoday]

I know right...a risk I don't want to take.

[@indymogul]

Sorry about some of the audio clipping a bit! Would you consider supporting our channel and preorder your gimbals using our affiliate links? RS 2 - geni.us/rIFr RSC 2 - geni.us/M7rE THANK YOU ALL! What do you think of these gimbals?

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

I feel bad for my friend that just finally bought a Ronin S lol. Definitely going to sell my gimbals (Ronin M & Ronin S & Movi M15) and get one of these that fits my workflow + gear asap! Both look amazing.

[@RobPFrank]

What was the smaller Sony camera Dave was holding?

[@valorreviews]

"it works with the 1DX if you still have one" shots fired!!!

[@keith-knittel]

Wasn't expecting that call of duty hitmaker flashback at 3:01, great review as always!

[@OriginaldoBo]

Freaking love Dave's first impression vids ! Super easy to consume!

[@indymogul]

So glad you like it! Wow such a compliment! Thank you :)

[@amanjaiswar5077]

What about doing a comparison video with Crane 2s and 3s

[@biohazard2030]

Woah 😯 Indy mogul has changed so much! I miss the DIY SFX series!

[@cjadams7434]

i'm looking at it as an investment instead which is why I'm probably going with the RS2 - also I'll most likely add on the Tilta float too! - this will pretty much give you a full steadycam rig sort of like a cheaper version of the - trinity

[@FloridaLife]

Is it possible to use the focus dial on the handle and the focus motor as a zoom control instead (for using it with auto focus cameras such as the siii with a zoom lens). Thanks!

[@indymogul]

If you had the focus motor and put a gear on your lens on the zoom ring.. ya totally!

[@kane01337]

MONSTER DOG ! Love your style Dave - keep powering on :)

[@premiumparis]

I have to agree ! Having used crane 2 and 3S, and Ronin S and RS2 (yes I had the preprod to test for the last month), the ronin feels so much better, and are a lot more durable ... and overall more solid and reliable

[@koalamusik]

you can't use the additional focus wheel on the RSC2, even though it's working on the RS2, the Ronin S and even the Ronin SC. So, in that point, you are downgrading when choosing the newer RSC2 instead of the Ronin SC.

[@Bowmans-Woods]

Thanks for the video review. Just ordered the Ronin S2. I love the Raven Eye Motion tracking. That is what sold me to purchase over my Feiyu Tech AK4500 as I am often filming alone. So thanks for another great review. FYI, you Mic was a bit too hot and the audio was a bit distorted at times. Still enjoyed the video just something to dial back a bit. Cheers!

[@CarloRosillo]

This was a decent video but a lot of the "new" features was added to the Ronin S and SC through firmware.

[@JonathanBondu]

about the force mibil feature : in the promo images you showed there was a guy with a phone on a manroto fluid head tripod looking like he was framing something. the only way where it makes sense is if he's using the force mobile function. I'm surprised you did not mention this use case where it allows an other operator to control the pan and tilt of the camera.

[@indymogul]

Yes totally. I noticed that when I saw the promo. Not a use case I thought of when we shot it.

[@Aaron_Smith_OM]

Original Ronin M? I have the OG Ronin from 2014 and that thing is still going strong. But! I'm getting this because the RS has some features that warrant the upgrade.

[@rohitavva3543]

DJI: Launching new gimbals... Me: How many years should save to afford one?

[@DrWhatever]

This is completely it

[@Dentis306]

I have a Ronin -S for sale, $350 if you want it.

[@DaisysWorld192]

No sheet way to expensive especially in covid times sheet I bet I could find something reasonable on Wish!

[@mcronfpv8736]

I still shoot with the Ronin-M. Didn't like the first Ronin S because some moves just didn't work, and it wasn't really easier to pack than the M. Would love to see what packing the new rs2 looks like, and see complicated moves... I hope I'll have to test for myself

[@seoworx4377]

Can you please explain why some gimbals are for Mirrorless cameras only? Also, as a newbie, how do you connect the camera to a gimble? How do you start filming with a gimble? Do you press the shutter? Is there a button on the gimble? An ABC of gimbles would be good :o)

[@indymogul]

You can still use a DSLR on all these! Great idea... maybe we could do a full length tutorial series on gimbals for you! DJI has great resources though on all this if you're interested. I think they have some tutorials available either on their website or KZbin channel

[@dissolution]

Man. I have the S... but haven’t been using it much as the balance would slip. The raven eye stuff looks pretty sick.

[@indymogul]

It is pretty incredible!

[@ghostlyvlogs8456]

You mentioned how you wouldn't use the force mobile in most cases but I think I thought of a perfect senario to use it on. For example if you have the mounting package for the Ronin S2 and you mount to the side of a car. From there with the use of the Raven eye, couldn't you use the force mobile feature to follow moving subjects outside such as cars if filming a car video? Because you wouldn't have to rely on having second monitor as you can see what the camera sees on the phone and still move the gimbalmThat's what I would do anyways.

[@indymogul]

Good point! I was mostly speaking for myself... im sure there are people who use it and it's a cool feature for sure!

[@ghostlyvlogs8456]

@@indymogul Yeah I figured that's what you meant anyways. Currently trying to rig up a suction cup mount for my gimbal to do what I had said in my first comment. So far it coming along great!

[@indymogul]

@@ghostlyvlogs8456 Awesome!!! We need to do a car mount episode for sure.

[@retlwiz]

The placement of the focus control is the most attractive feature for me, though if you could link that to an added focus motor, it would tip me into buying it. Also interested in the CAF, which apparently comes in a Pro bundle and which they didn't talk about.

[@beeftownz]

I just hope you can swap the whole handle for a dual handle. That way you don't need to dual handle to the single system. Yep... I can dream:(

[@makestuffmike]

That active tracking is incredible!

[@AldoMiike]

Moza aircross 2 and Air 2 has a lot of those features long ago. Thanks for the video.

[@SoundEffectsFactory]

Good to know actually

[@indymogul]

Thanks for watching!

[@CharlesMiner]

I have the ronin sc and the only thing making want to upgrade is the active track but i would love to see more testing like will it still track you when your moving fast like running, skating? how far will it reach etc.

[@indymogul]

Ya totally! We didn't test it extensively on something like that... but i would imagine it could work well. It's still not PERFECT but you should give it a try.

[@tjsn-4vision]

I love them both but can't afford it. So sticking with the ronin s and the weebill s. I have the transmitter and receiver from zhiyun.

[@indymogul]

Sick! Still a killer setup bro!

[@tjsn-4vision]

@@indymogul thank you bro!!!

[@thecorylive]

My suggestion, pop into that Jersey Mike’s and order a #13 Mike’s way! But if you want a DJI gimbal you should probably stop eating out! Lol

[@lmcoolk12]

I think a raven eye monitor would be cool. Powered by the ronin so you don’t have use your phone.

[@user-dh5fp4gw1b]

Jep agreed! I just sold my atomos shinobi because why would i use it over my phone with raveneye. Shinobi doesnt have activetrack

[@robertcrain9849]

Awesome video!! Does it work with start stop recording and adjusting things like aperature and iso when using a cable to connect to your R? I would also love to be able to adjust ev exposure value when using a mode like aperature priority. Is this possible?

[@indymogul]

Yes it does! I didn't even mention it but on some cameras you can control things like aperture and iso!

[@jeffreyzarate8643]

Which one do you advise me? dji rsc2 vs zhiyun weebill s

[@kipmeacham7925]

Anybody shooting with these new gimbals and a Lumix GH5? How well do the features like RavenEye integrate?

[@recardosands9948]

I maybe old school, but what about creativity and skill...these guys will have you buying new gear every month!

[@mmmDeez]

Filming at PCC! Guys try mounting a Blackmagic Pocket 4K or 6K?

[@indymogul]

We haven't tried but it can be done!

[@hellohogo]

Great video! Hey Dave, does the RS2 require the raven eye to show the camera image on the built in gimbal screen? Edit: just saw the part where you confirm that it does need it😊

[@dvdaltizer]

Yes...unfortunately

[@PhillGraaf]

Great video... As always :-) Two questions regarding the raveneye: 1. How far does the transmission reach? 2. How is the latency when you watch the video on your phone? Thanks in advance! Also - I'm still shooting on the Ronin M 😇

[@user-dh5fp4gw1b]

Same question here did u find out

[@PhillGraaf]

[@MoniJohnson]

Not sure what AF system you are using but many of us are having no issues with AF and gimbals.

[@maheshgvelly]

Does active track work without ravenei? Which one would be a good replacement for weebill-S? (For A7siii setup ?)

[@ProfoundProductions]

Biggest problem we run into is not being able to charge batteries while the SC is in use, sucks having to plug into the gimbal.

[@indymogul]

good point!

[@mcronfpv8736]

Wow what do you guys shoot to need 12+ hours of record time on the gimbal ?

[@ProfoundProductions]

@@mcronfpv8736 That’s what they claim, have had my SC give out during wedding receptions multiple times so bought a second grip, now that’s not even an option.

[@desbugg]

Expansion kit is $500... the universal mount for original Ronin-S cost $180... So an upgrade for me would cost $1500! 😬

[@uncledee_e]

DJI ain't being greedy with the battery, they're just helping us cut on cost.

[@indymogul]

How so?

[@phantomfeels]

@@indymogul can’t go buy extra batteries if they are no extra batteries 🤣

[@Classiq21]

I own a Ronin-S and thinking about getting the RSC 2 through DJI’s trade-in program as I have an a7iii and an a6600 and don’t need the bigger, heavier gimbal. Is it worth the upgrade?

[@dissolution]

Great review. Thank you!!

[@Ootini4]

Why is no one talking about the upcoming ToF adapter???

[@indymogul]

Because we weren't told about it in the briefing. I talked to my contact at DJI today and he said he wasn't aware they would be ready in time. Sometime releases can have communication problems, especially with DJI which is a Chinese company

[@chakrasb3772]

Hi... This is Peter... 😊 .. Brother.. I was too confused of buying a glimbal for eos 90d and same time for 70d also. I don't know which one to buy rsc2 ronin or moza aircross 2 or moza aircross 3. Can u able to suggest me... Anyone by ur experience.. Thank you.

[@lyndonalvarez2684]

It's not a party trick if you're rigging it to a car and operating from within, assuming the connection is reliable enough.

[@cjlove4428]

Active track is all I care about. I have the sc for active track but balancing with the phone is horrible.

[@voulatsagli4422]

hi did you know the number of Allen key for the knobs? because yesterday I took my brand new rsc2 and one knob under the main plate to stop ..glide the plate is totally loose. and I can't find the way to fix it

[@wcsdiaries]

Can you remove the camera and put it back on the gimbal without needing to rebalance it like teh weebil s? That one lets you clip on and off the gimbal so quickly it's great

[@predrag1]

Hows rsc2 the same? It folds, it takes a lot more weight and size and more

[@LanceAsper]

Going to cop that s2!!!! For sure

[@indymogul]

it's pretty sick isnt it!?

[@arielgarcia6887]

Woah that was filmed at PCC???😱

[@mattcarlson12]

Weight is super important to me for all day wedding type shoots. I heard the RSC2 is a bit more heavy than the original SC. Is this true?

Hello there! Can anyone answer me this question? Considering the Desview R7 external monitor, or any other that has hdmi input and output, it is possible to use the RS2 active track using the camera connected by hdmi to the external monitor (hdmi in) and the same monitor connected to Raveneye through the port out of the monitor? Or is active track only possible by directly connecting the camera to Raveneye?
