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

[@thrillhouse_vanhouten]

I can't tell you how many times I've re-watched this video over the last few years. Refreshingly succinct & clear instructions

[@dilsterr]

waiting for the days where gimbals can smartly just balance themselves!

[@haque7104]

You spoke my mind

[@DoloresLowe]

That will be a great day!!

Thanks so much for posting this video. Balancing a gimbal has never been so easy.

[@SuryaPrakash-uz1lh]

If we listen carefully we can easily balance our Gimbal I liked it man ✌🏻👌🏻❤❤️‍🔥

[@aimankuaci]

the pan axis balancing instruction part is opposite to the broll. if anybody would notice

[@pascalkempa8005]

Thank you so much! I’m tired and preparing for a shoot. I was questioning my sanity… Doesn’t help that they cut to the opposite angle for the adjustments. And what does mean “right” and “left” in that context.. shouldn’t it be clockwise/counterclockwise and in and out?

[@AStarVlogs]

Wow i thought no one noticed.

The audio says to tilt backwards, but the video shows the gimbal tilting rightwards. 3:08 which is the right way?

[@Princeton_James]

Pan is the hardest. When they say tilt it is it directly to the right or left? I've seeing some say tilt forward.

[@jaaebeeee]

my gimbal is very jittery with my sigma 18-35... please explain how i can fix this

[@frostybe3r]

By balancing it properly.

[@parkyouleon]

Thank you I fixed my issue hella fast my tilt axis was way off

[@theindianbucketlist7979]

Thank you. Very helpful video

[@kenneth3174]

I have an issue balancing Roll axis. When I let go the camera at 45 degree, it bounced back to horizon at mid point. Need help here, Cheers.

[@TheWildgiles]

@@gerardorodriguez7858 I think the trick is to tighten the clamp as much as you can by lifting the clamp up and out of its spring seat and readjusting the clamp so that it clamped really hard, carbon fibre is more springy than metal so the pan and roll axis need more tightening to prevent any shifts in the arm clamps when they move.

[@firebasspt]

I have the same problem, but with my RS3!

[@sjcproductionsandmedia]

How do I lock the pan axis to stop gimbal from moving?

[@nathirabidi]

i m pretty sure i have balanced the tilt and roll axis perfectly , yet the pan axis keep rotating to the left no matter what , can anyone help me please ?

[@FromtiquiciaFilms]

it can hold a canon c200?

[@Hacktivator]

I truly believe that only due to marketing purposes, DJI won’t release a smart gimbal that can perfectly balance the camera automatically. They can’t show us their aces up their sleeve all at once, but incrementally. But I’m convinced 100% DJI has the technology and capability to release something like that in the near future. When they do, it’ll be game over for all other “competitors”.

[@nikedunkTv]

I cant seem to find a right balance for the pan axis I found a spot where the arm stays center when I tilt forward the gimbal but when I move the arm to see if its balanced it just swings back to the center any tips any one !?!

Hi there, we are sorry to hear about the difficulties that you encountered. Please contact our support team via www.dji.com/support and provide us with more details. We'll check and do our best to help this out. Thanks.

[@AStarVlogs]

Experiencing the exact same. Have you found a solution?

[@trangthihuyenpham]

works great perfect !

[@rubenvaneupen7327]

What can cause the gimbal to enter "vibration mode"? It looks like it's calibrating mid-flight (on a drone).

[@elaineross9365]

Balancing the pan axis in DJI RS2 manual says tilt the gimbal FORWARD. This video says tilt the gimbal BACKWARDS. Which is it?? They give totally different results and could therefore be burning out the motors!!!

[@article1934]

Calm down, the pan axis is the least stressed axis.

[@zulkarnainlubis7587]

tilt axis always lean to the front a little (lens pointing up process), can't adjust any further because already hit maximum limit to the tilt axis motor. use sony a6600 with sigma 16mm/35mm/sony 18-135mm. any suggest?

[@gabolujan3109]

Thank you.

[@Liamjcurran]

Does anyone else have a situation with the roll axis where it just will not stay in a position and returns to the centre, no matter how much you microadjust it and even if all the other axis are balanced? On the front screen the gimbal icon is green and it believes it is well balanced but I cannot get it to stay as in the video?

[@carlosspusa123]

My dji screen is upside down How to fix it Thanks

[@casparroofingchannel]

I got mine.. Instrumental and easy to edit my video

[@bobbrown8615]

I have two RS2 units, both show Error 1009 upon doing a Gimbal Self Check, after a successful Calibration and Balance (Excellent on all three axes). It does not always fail, but fails enough for me to not count on it working correctly. I've sent them both the DJI for 'repair' and they replaced them both after finding the faults. Now both of the replacement units yield the same Error 1009. I'm mystified that four of four fail for me and I do not see that others are having the same issues. Any recommendations? Thanks

The Roll Axis seems stuck even though I unlocked those 2 things. Should I send it back for a new one?

[@DJITutorials]

Hi there, sorry that you're having this issue. Could you please check again if the roll axis is unlocked? If yes, please contact our support and provide a video of this issue for further assistance. www.dji.com/support

@@DJITutorials thank you !

[@ivandyap]

Did you manage to resolve this? Mine appears to be stuck as well.

[@SHADOOjoey]

@@ivandyap yes, all you need to do is pull on the part that locks and unlocks the roll axis and then turn it to loosen the grip until there’s wiggle space.

[@ivandyap]

@@SHADOOjoey Thanks! Mine is exceedingly tight. Could be due to my payload :-)

[@DanielKhuu]

I’m finding it so hard to balance my 1DXii with a heavy lens

[@Mrjimmybuckets24]

Same here. My P6K with a 35mm Meike S35 lens is very difficult to balance. Have you found some tips for speeding the process?

[@DanielKhuu]

@@Mrjimmybuckets24 I found another video that said to tighten the roll axis twice once you’ve balanced it, since sometimes you when you tighten the roll axis it looses the balance you set originally. (You can pull the tightening knob out and rotate it back without turning the mechanism) I have yet to try it yet though as I haven’t had a need to.

[@Mrjimmybuckets24]

Thank you for the reply. I mainly struggle with the Tilt axis but think I found a solution to quicker balancing. Will test.

[@DanielKhuu]

@@Mrjimmybuckets24 so I tested it the past two days and it did help Though I also decided not to use a shotgun mic as well. Let me know!

[@Mrjimmybuckets24]

Okay brotha, I think I found the solution on another video. You start the tilt axis all of the way at the bottom of the tilt arm. Balance the camera with the adjusting knob on baseplate. Get the camera looking straightforward level as possible. Then point camera upwards and perfect that by sliding the camera up the tilt arm to where it needs to be. Once the camera can look straight upwards without moving, Then put the camera in a looking forward position and use the adjusting knob one more time for fine tuning. Works great for me and seems to be working every time.

[@andrewhayden8071]

The vertical lift arm is so hard to move when a camera is attached, the side is all scratched now.

[@DJITutorials]

Hello, there. Sorry for your inconvenience. The roll axis of ronin s is a non-orthogonal design, so the cooperation between the axis arms will be relatively tight, and the additional weight of the camera will cause the axis arms to be inclined, resulting in a large friction force. It is suggested that when adjusting, refer to the figure below and lift the arm marked "RONIN" to reduce the friction of the shaft arm, and then adjust.

[@andrewhayden8071]

@@DJITutorials Thanks, refer to which figure?

[@Lucatronik]

It is not possible to balance the pan axis with my RS2 and I have years of experience with balancing gimbals. All the other axis' are perfectly balanced, but no matter how I adjust the pan axis, the camera always tilts to the right side. It looks like there is a production error with the positioning of the pan axis or something.

[@DJITutorials]

Hello, there, please check the following steps: Method 1. The most accurate judgment method; Connect to the mobile device, launch the Ronin APP, find the "motor parameters" setting, click "more parameters", and check the power values of the pan axis, pitch axis, and roll axis. After the Auto Tune is completed, the smaller the power value, the better the balance status. If it exceeds ±5, it is recommended that the customer re-adjust the mechanical balance before performing Auto Tune . Before Auto Tune or after the mechanical balance is adjusted, it is recommended that the power values of the pan axis, pitch axis, and roll axis are all within ±5 before performing Auto Tune. Notice: 1) Check the power value of the three-axis, the gimbal must exit the sleep mode. If the gimbal has entered the sleep mode, but the power values of all three axes are 0, and the gimbal is powerless, it may be a malfunction of the gimbal motor. Method 2: The most commonly used method； Connect to the mobile device, launch the Ronin APP, find the "balance adjustment" setting, tilt the gimbal according to the APP icon (the tilt angle must be greater than 15°, the APP interface prompts the current tilt angle), click "start detection" to check the balance detection result . Notice: Method 3: The method which does not need to connect to the APP; Check whether the camera and the gimbal can maintain the current position at different angles through the video provided by the customer. When the camera tilts up 45°, tilts down 45°, tilts 45° to the left, tilts 45° to the right, and the gimbal tilts 45° to the left, tilt 45° to the right. If the balance cannot be maintained at any position, the mechanical balance still needs to be adjusted. 1) Ronin-SC recommends that the tilt angle of the gimbal is about 30° If these steps can not help you solve this problem, please contact our support via this link: www.dji.com/support/repair Thank you for your support.

[@SunnyKumar-ub2nf]

wow

Your vertical tilt slider caused me metallic scratches. Thanks a lot. Whats the point of unlocking that tilt, if the slider still barely moves? When you naturally apply some pressure to make it slide, it scratches the chassis of the gimbal. Not pro quality.
