Incredible tutorial - thanks Jay!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad you liked it and thank you very much for the super thanks Pete :) I really appreciate it!

[@EntrenaconSteven]

Best tutorial ever. I spent 1 hour trying to balance watching other people's videos until I found this one. The changes of the camera angles are SOOOOO helpful. Thanks man.

[@Dammy1998]

the same here mate😂😂couldn't get it to work until I watched this one. Thanks a ton @Jasom Hermann

[@jamesdetorres]

After watching like 5 tutorials, finally one that explains everything perfectly. Thanks a lot

[@Jason_Hermann]

I appreciate the kind words James :)

[@jbrentjoseph]

I've watched a few and this was the most helpful. Thanks!

[@thesouthernelectric]

What a great tutorial ! , you cover a few little things that the other tutorials leave out. They just happen to be the essential (little) things that have made all the difference and mean that I am now 100% set up and even passed the gimbals own checks with a 3 x excellent ! I will be using this new tool in a new music video, a huge thanks from The Southern Electric.

[@strangefiction84]

This was the third tutorial I clicked on. Super helpful for a complete newbie.

[@studionimba]

I just bought the DJI RS3 mini gimbal. Your video is teaching me a lot about the Gimbal.

[@GeekMarathon]

Hello. How does the gimbal look so far? I just ordered it after days of researching.

[@coryosborne3937]

Well done- been switching between like 3 different tutorials- yours was the only one to mention CENTER MASS with the balancing part, definitely the most helpful!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Shashank_Naidu]

No review on KZbin about RS3 Mini is this detailed. Great job mate! Covers everything, from balancing, Ronin App features, gimbal menu options, tips and tricks. One stop reference guide.

this is the best and the most in detailed video that I've seen of this. Being a total beginner, I didn't know what each of those locks and lever does, but you made it very very clear and easy to understand. Thanks a ton. Really appreciate this.

[@philiplaurell1163]

Having the scroll whell on the gimball set to TILT is really helpful. Much easier than always having to hit the joystick perfectly straight in order for it to not pan while you only want to tilt.

[@barneypoole182]

Super helpful video! One question, when I select 'ISO' for my dial function, it doesn't change on my Canon R6, same with shutter etc..the gimbal movement dial functions do work. I am bluetooth connected..

[@Jason_Hermann]

I believe Bluetooth only allows for shutter control. You need to use the cables in order to change other stuff depending on your camera, firmware, etc...

[@fikreybirhane304]

[@The.Eye18]

After your video I successfully mounted the camera, balanced the gimbal and made some shots, thank you so much 😎

[@thedronemediacomvancouver4976]

Hey Jay.. A73 with the 16 to 35 GM 2.8.. this may be pushing the minis limits? Thx

[@Jason_Hermann]

That should be ok, but I would not go to much heavier... I used my A74 and 16-35mm f/4 OSS ZA Lens and it was pretty close to maximum I would say...

thank you infinitely for this!!! I was so lost at first hahaha

[@Asturev]

is there a way to invert the joystick on the vertical axis? I find it very confusing that forward goes up instead of down like aitplanes and everything with a joystick

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yes via the App in the channels area it looks like you can invert the direction of the joystick... Page 34 of the manual explains... dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_RS_3_Mini/UM/20230118/DJI_RS_3_Mini_User_Manual_V1.0_en.pdf

[@RM.TokyoPhotographer]

thanks for a great tutorial...im actually dont use gimbals new to this world...is it possible to add an arca swiss quick release plate ontop of the default dji plate? since i have it attached all day long...do you think the balance would get unbalanced?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yeah you can do that or buy another arca swiss plate specific for the gimbal which people do as well.👍

[@tatiana9762]

The best explanation, thank you!

[@The_Wizard_of_Naz]

This is the one stop shop for RS3 mini tutorial. I bet most of this crosses over into the other DJI RS3 gimbals as well Question, can this gimbal do the 360 roll in vertical orientation?

[@dust4427]

Very nice Guid Thank You for your work✌

[@mmcreation1396]

Hi ! Can you please tell me how to control zoom through this gimble in cannon camera ?? Do I need to use cable ??

[@jnanashakthidigitals]

If we change zoom factor (A6700 Kitlens 18-135mm) then balance again for each time?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yes, it's best practice to rebalance for each change in zoom, but if you only zoom a little it can handle it. Also, if you balance the gimbal with the lens zoomed in half way for example, you can then zoom it a bit more in each direction without rebalancing. Extreme zoom will require a re-balance though if you want the best performance.

[@kirtanforthesoul]

this was the best tutorial

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks :)

[@BrettyPOV]

You need an extra accessory to do the briefcase mode you described at 40:15 right?

[@Jason_Hermann]

You would need the handle yes.... Sorry I should have made that more clear!

[@Graphicales]

Best best best tutorial!!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad you think so!

[@uncledoey]

great vid. very clearly presented. Can the bluetooth-dial control "Clear Image" since this is a digital zoom feature of the A7IV?

[@Jason_Hermann]

I'm not sure off the top of my head, but possible...

[@Tomothy-e3b]

I'm very interested in this product. For the Pano use case can this gimbal be mounted on a standard camera tripod?

[@nevillewheeldon1693]

Hi this is a great tutorial thanks. A question would this gimbal be suitable for my Sony FDR-AX53 camcorder,thank you.

[@leonfisher]

Great tutorial and a sweet Trek.

[@jrock44444]

I have a Canon 5D Mark 4 with this gimbal I have it balanced vertically but it doesn’t have Bluetooth and whenever I plug cord in it throws it off any advice

[@Jason_Hermann]

So you can balance it, but not with the cord? If that is the case, then your only option if out of adjustments to fix, would be to add a counter weight somewhere... Not ideal, but can work... This gimbal is really a bit to small for that camera in my opinion as well depending on the lens ofcourse...

[@MrCriylau]

Have you tested with sony a6400 and sigma 30mm 1.4? Both are not ibis or oss, and need a test for this gear. Thank you, and great video.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Not this gimbal, but my other larger one yes, and it works awesome!! This gimbal it should work even easier due to the smaller size and easier set-up process. As far as connecting to the camera, It looks like you can use the bluetooth remote option like I did in this video with my A74 and that will give you Focus, Photo, and Record, or you could use a cable and try other set-ups as shown here... www.dji.com/support/compatibility/rs-3-mini/a6400

[@neilfarrugia3023]

Hi well done for the great explanation on all features of this gimbal. I have both the Canon RP and R5 would this work seamlessly with either body?

[@Jason_Hermann]

I think this is a tad small for the R5, but the RP will prolly work weight wise... As far as compatibility you would need to check the documentation for specific cameras.

[@GLXScosmetics]

Great tutorial!

[@therealcoolchris]

Thank you for sharing this! I almost purchased the RSC2 based on your video from 3 years ago. But I decided to go with the RS3 instead. Since this tutorial is for the mini, Can I use this tutorial to balance the full size Ronin RS3? The video DJI has for it isn’t as thorough and detailed as yours.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Yeah it is basically the same concept, but you might have to do it a little different depending on the arm layout. Just remember to lock the motors and do them one at a time in order 1, 2, 3, and you should be fine!

[@therealcoolchris]

@@Jason_HermannYou’re a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you so much. I followed your exact steps and I finally got it balanced! Although I did find some nuances with the balancing part through the app. The balance test in the app doesn’t go through the same cycle as in your video. Instead it just takes me to DJI video clips showing virtual steps to balance each part of the gimbal. Nevertheless, I think I got it done. You’re very much appreciated! Thank you again!

[@billbirthstarpathaw142]

easy to understand and follow your step thanks buddy

[@Jason_Hermann]

[@adhdfitgirl]

Amazing video! Silly question after calibrating, do we lock any of axises? Or we just choose our mode?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks and Choose mode, when in use all axises must be unlocked.

@@Jason_Hermann thank you so much 🙏

[@danielformento1458]

I'm sorry but I'm desperate. I made the timelapse as you said but on my sony I only have so many photos ... where do I find the finished timelapse movie?😢

[@Jason_Hermann]

Sony cameras does not turn the photos into a movie for you automatically when using the interval shooting feature. To do that I made a tutorial you can check out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpy1i5hobrSkb6s The other option would be to use the S&Q feature which will create either fast or slow motion movie in camera.

[@claubob3207]

Yes, incredible tutorial! Many many thanks from France! Perfectly clear: Great job! If you don't mind, I'd say your the best ;-)

[@seattle_shinebox]

Process question: If you're an experienced videographer with the funds, do you rebalance your gimbal everytime you change lens (seems like you might miss shots since it takes time)? Or do you just buy gimabls for each camera/lens combo and balance before you got out?

[@Jason_Hermann]

I only use the gimbal for specific use cases most of the time and I use prime lenses mostly as well. So Yes, if I change lenses I will re balance, but if the lens is close in size and weight it only takes about 30seconds for me to rebalance. If it is a significantly different size lens it takes a bit longer to balance. If you are using a zoom lens you can zoom a decent amount without re-balancing and you should balance at the center of the zoom range you plan on using. Heavier duty gimbals will allow for more weight change without a re-balance as well.
