DJI RSC 2 | How to Perfectly Balance Your Gimbal With Few Steps

#DJI#DJIRSC2#Balancing
To obtain the best performance from DJI RSC 2, proper balancing of the three axes (tilt, roll, and pan) is essential. Improper balance may reduce stability and battery runtime. Severe imbalance can also lead to overheated motors which may force the gimbal to enter sleep mode for overheating protection.
Timecodes:
0:00 - Introduction
0:32 - Balancing Basics
The gimbal is considered balanced when the camera is mounted to DJI RCS 2 and remains steady at any angle it moves along the three axes. The order for balancing the axes is:
1:33 - Balancing the vertical tilt;
1:58 - Balancing depth for the tilt axis;
2:23 - Balancing the roll axis;
2:55 - Balancing the pan axis.

One question, I balance the ronin rsc2 perfectly, but when I touch the jostick, I get in l apk the error "Error jostick, calibrate the jostick, and restart the stabilizer". But I don't know how to calibrate the jostick ☹️Do you know how to do it?. Will be very very interesting one vídeo about of calibration the jostick, because there is a lot of people with the same problem.

The lens support on the RSC2 that I just bought is a Y shape without a strap. This video shows a different one when it explains how to attach the lens support, but the right one is shown during the rest of the video.

Also, the lens support bracket rests on the focus ring. Is that going to be a problem with auto focus?

[@kylefitzmaurice7621]

hey guys, once you balance the gimbal with a specific camera + lens, will you need to rebalance every time you use, given the camera and lens are the exact same set up each time ? cheers

[@DJITutorials]

Hello, if you change the lens during your shooting, please rebalancing the gimbal for a better stabilization. If the combination is the same and keep mounting on the gimbal, it is not necessary to rebalance, but you can re-auto tune to make sure the motors are working well. Thanks

[@BaMStyley]

Absolutely no idea why but my roll axis never balances enough to stay steady at 45 degrees either side. Its on way or the other or neither, no matter how much tweaking I do. Any ideas?

What they don’t mention is the roll axis has two adjustments. The arm adjustment and one underneath where the camera sits.

Are you supposed to lock everything after perfecting the balance and getting the 3 excellents? When do we lock all the axises ??? Please help!!!

[@DJITutorials]

Hi there, we had replied to you on another post, the switch locks of the axes do not need to be locked after balance and during use. The locking knobs need to be tightened to the lock postion. Hope this is informative for you.

[@gemwebb]

Yah, the locking of the arms is not clear in all videos. Seems like they always want u to lock everything and never explain clearly when it’s time to turn it on.

[@Wenatito]

[@JustifiedSwagg]

So it seems like there’s no solution for the roll axis returning to center? No matter how many times I tweak it to stay center; it’s never staying at a 15 or 45 degree angle.

[@DJITutorials]

Hello, there. Sorry for the inconvenience. If the gimbal’s roll axis has a non-orthogonal design, successful roll axis balance can be determined by the roll motor: if the left and right weights are the same, the roll motor is deemed balanced. Whether the left and right weights are the same can be determined based on the criteria below: 1) Tilt the roll axis arm to the left and right (approx. 45°), and it can remain still at any angle after you release your grip. 2) Tilt the roll axis arm to the left and right (approx. 45°), and it can fall back to the horizontal position after you release your grip. If any one of the above effects can be reached, the gimbal is deemed balanced and it can be used normally. Would you please check?

[@catalinionutbutuman4663]

Hi there Can you tell me what is the reason for RSC2 still vibrating after concretely balancing and performing the auto tune saying is successful. It’s saying excellent for all motors but on flat surface is vibrating. Everything was fine before yesterday. Setup: SONY A7ii 28-70mm. Thanks

Поспорю на счет грузоподъемности. После множества обзоров решил взять rsc 2 но он не оправдал заявленных мощностей. Мой сетап 1.5кг - sony a7s2+slr magic microprime 25mm. В условиях идеальной калибровки механизм работает в предельной нагрузке, особенно ось панорамирования, при наклонах заваливается горизонт.

[@fanikurti2420]

I am very disappointed about the fact that my manfrotto plate 200PL that i have installed on all my cameras and tripods doesn't fit on this gimbal. Why DJI? Not everyone uses arca swiss plates... What about us using manfrotto 200PL? In other gimbals at least it gave me the possibility to install the base plate manfrotto 323 to support 200PL plate. Now i cant even install the manfrotto 323 base??? Very, very dissapointed. I really wanted to buy this gimbal but i can't anylonger.

[@pauls6043]

I can balance the roll axis so it stays centered. But if I turn it, it will not stay and falls back to the center position. Is that normal?

I don’t know anything about it, but if you’re using your camera for both photography and video, then you have to rebalance every time you remove it and put it back on the gimball. I don’t want to take pictures, then 500m further take a video by doing a first time balancing, then 500m further want to redo photos, so remove it from the gimball, for 500m further want to redo a video and have to redo balancing... I need something plug and play. Balance once, be able to lock the settings, store the gimball in a bag, then pull it out, unfold it and directly put the device back on the gimball without re-balancing.

[@edub9930]

When start balancing the gimbal, power is ON on the gimbal or OFF on the gimbal, it s not mention in this video Whether power iON or Power OFF on the gimbal

I think its of, because when you start it, it should be easy for the RSC2 to position itself.

[@robertagnarp7502]

Just like the drone does when it calibrates

[@JonathanBarrow]

roll axis is such a pain to balance

[@andrewweidner7494]

Whenever I try to balance the roll axis it always rolls level as if the camera is bottom heavy, I can’t leave it at a 45 degree angle without it rolling to become level. I always do the previous two steps such as balancing the tilt and the camera doesn’t budge so that’s not the problem.

[@RustydieKrabbe]

Hey, i had the same issue but i found a solution. After i balanced the roll axis till it remained leveled, i pushed the camera on the tilt axis a little bit higher till the roll axis remained wherever i put it. Also the tilt axis worked fine after this fine tune. My Setup is a A7S III + 16+35GM + Raven Eye. I hope it will work for you too.

[@madmanstudioph]

I cant balance the Roll Axis. I have to move the plate backwards but that would unbalance the tilt.
