Canon C200 and Ronin S Setup (With Sample Footage Test!) - Best Small Gimbal?

[@ericwetzeldesign]

Nice Video :)! Have to try it with my c200

[@FilmJams]

Eric Wetzel thanks Eric! We normally put the EOS R or A73 on the Ronin S, but the c200 worked out better than I was expecting. Good luck with it!

[@ComixNstuff]

Man.. talk about some gear eye CANDY! Making me want to go out and buy a Canon C200 to mount on my Ronin S too. Thanks for sharing this video with us!

[@FilmJams]

ComixNstuff thank YOU for watching! 🙏 and yes it’s such a sweet camera. The focus tracking is so nice for one-man-banding!

[@anthonyscottdigital8362]

awesome guys thanks for taking the time to be extra descriptive

[@FilmJams]

Anthony Scott Digital sure! Thanks for watching! 😆🎥

@@FilmJams Np I watched another video stating the camera doesnt have 4k 120 fps but if u watched gemini man dirtbike crash 120 fps makes speed look slow but i guess would ve nice for speed ramping but 60fps is just fine too .... any thoughts on this and should this be a deal breaker ...

[@FilmJams]

Personally I don’t think so. I rarely use 120 fps. A lot of time I even shoot 48fps slo mo because I don’t want it too slow. For those situations where you need extreme slo mo I just rent a slo mo camera or use a different camera. The 120 fps in the c200 isn’t amazing - it’s a little soft - but it can look good if you make sure to double your shutter speed, or shoot at a 180 degree shutter angle. The 60p especially in Canon RAW looks amazing.

You’re welcome! 😁👍

[@scottmckenna]

Great video.

[@FilmJams]

Thanks Scott! Appreciate that !

[@LeighWilbraham]

Can i ask what your using to record the audio for this video?

[@FilmJams]

Sure we list all our gear used on each of our videos in the description below. There’s links as well 😃👍

[@FranciscoSilva-bv9qq]

that looks awesome man! id tweak the settings a bit tho since the pan feels a bit stiff. i had the same problems with my c100!

[@FilmJams]

Francisco Silva ahh good call. Thanks for the tip! Appreciate you watching and checking it out 😆🎥

[@FranciscoSilva-bv9qq]

@@FilmJams so that the camera op doesn't have a sore arm try mounting a steadicam harness

[@FilmJams]

Francisco Silva definitely! We have the Glide Gear DNA 6000 that we pair with it. Here’s our vid on that if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap3IfH5-jKuph8k

[@FranciscoSilva-bv9qq]

@@FilmJams ive seen that one! Yeah that shake was somewhat distracting. But it can be done! I want to eventually get a harness so I can get more shots with bigger cameras with the current setup. Ive been getting away with a a6500 which is lighter and not as cumbersome but the c100 really has it where it counts.

[@FilmJams]

Francisco Silva oh nice! Yeah it is a bit distracting. We shot another video after that one and got the settings better with the same setup. I do the same most time wise an A73 or EOS R on the Ronin, But yes the C100 and C200 are so nice! Have you checked out the Steadicam Aero? We have the 30 version. But they have a smaller Aero 15 that’s pretty good price and works really well with C100 and C200.

[@allehman5095]

Very helpful video for the Ronin S on a Canon C200. Great job! One Question, will the set up steps also accommodate the Ronin SC unit?

[@FilmJams]

Thanks glad it was helpful! The SC holds 6.6lb so just be careful with pushing the weight limit.

[@TwiniTinc]

Love the setup and also the thorough tutorial. Had a quick question. How long would you say a average person could maintain that shoot with the weight of the C200? Does the Ronin disperse the weight to allow longer times to take footage? Thanks for your response in advance.

[@FilmJams]

Hey! Thanks for checking out the video. We were doing 5-10 minute takes and then taking a little breather in between. If you’re doing something longer I highly recommend the Glide Gear vest. You can roll w the Ronin on that for hours at a time. We have a video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap3IfH5-jKuph8k

[@TwiniTinc]

@@FilmJams beautiful! Thanks for getting back to me so soon. We were debating getting a Ronin S. Now you have helped us make a quality choice. Bless you friend and good luck with your channel growth!

[@FilmJams]

@@TwiniTinc you’re very welcome! I appreciate that. Hopefully we will grow more this year :) feel free to share with anyone you think might like 😆👍 enjoy your Ronin!

[@MKANDRESTINPEACE]

hey new to the channel CAN YOU MAKE A QUICK TUTORIAL ON HOW YOU MAKE THAT INTRO with how to modify the voice and wha preset o distortion you used or how to make manually??? awesome content that would be great :D

[@FilmJams]

Glad to have you here with us! Yes we can definitely do that! Thanks for the request. We’ll make a little tutorial on that for ya!

[@williamji]

Film Jams would love to see that!

[@stefanthorndahl1666]

please put all the values of your balancing in the tutorial :) tilt pan roll and so on

[@FilmJams]

That would be helpful haha. I think we just auto-tuned it and didn’t change any of the defaults. Definitely will include on the next video for sure. Thanks for stopping by the channel!

[@stefanthorndahl1666]

@@FilmJams ah okay. I'm having a lot of difficulty balancing it myself. The tilt won't budge. The two others are "excellent". I feel like I've tried everything :(

[@FilmJams]

Hmm yeah that doesn’t sound good. What lens are you using?

[@stefanthorndahl1666]

@@FilmJams I figured it out. It was the tilt axis which I had to flip over completely so the camera could point up vertically and be calibrated that way. That did the trick

[@FilmJams]

Awesome. Glad you got it working! Happpy shooting.

[@OfficialMNIB]

- "Ready to Gimbalize" - 😅 🤣 😂 😹 - Think Bruce from Capuca TV got one of those recently - Loved how you put this vid together - We dropped a new vid last Sunday to celebrate my bday - Hope you can check it out & drop us ya' feedback - 🤞

[@FilmJams]

Haha 😆 thank for watching! And the comment. Yes will check out your new vid now. Always appreciate you stopping by buddy! 🤘🤘

[@PrabhatKumar003]

did you guys use any post stabilization?

[@FilmJams]

No we did not.

[@PrabhatKumar003]

@@FilmJams thanks man!!

[@FilmJams]

For sure! Thanks for stopping by the channel. 😁🎥

[@luchincete]

how did you bend the cable? haha my cable crush with the lens

[@FilmJams]

Hmm the cable we have is pretty flexible. How did your cable crush the lens?

[@piotrm2999]

Is camera really fully balanced? What about up and down and side axis?

[@FilmJams]

Piotr M yes we did balance it. I think we included all the different axis in the video, but might have not shown all them to condense it a bit. Hope it was helpful!

[@piotrm2999]

@@FilmJams We were thinking about buying Canon C200 but after a deep research We found something else. Do you plan some video with Panasonic S1H? Im wondering how this camera with additional equipment would work with Ronin-S.

[@FilmJams]

Piotr M ahh ok! What camera did you go with? And yes we are looking to do a video on the S1H soon. I think it’s a great little camera. And will work nicely with the Ronin S.

[@piotrm2999]

We plan to go with S1H. Its features are insane.

[@FilmJams]

Nice! The S1H a fun little camera. Wish it was a little cheaper. Basically the same cost as a C200B kit now ($3999 vs $3997)! And with C200 you get NDs, full size XLR, dual record, better autofocus, internal RAW recording, and a more Pro body with SDI and HDMi.
