Gimbal Comparison | DJI RSC2 VS RS2

[@ChristianShay]

WOW! the DJI RSC2 looked like it had way less micro jitters and was smoother than the RS2. I'm shocked!

[@OUCGN]

Yes all the rewievers says so, ı am happy with my purchase :D

[@soniromanov]

Yep, RSC2 is awesome, even without the cinematic LUT for the RS2 sample...

[@CC-gt3ro]

I don’t think the reviewer did calibrate the rs2 correctly. It has stronger motor, and the settings must be down for mirrorless camera. Other reviewers have shown the rs2 is very good and better than rsc2. I don’t trust this test.

[@costinvaly1]

@@CC-gt3ro many other reviews also proved the opposite, so your point is?

[@costinvaly1]

@@CC-gt3ro this test is even more accurate since he used both of them simultaneously by rigging them together on a custom made holder which removes a lot of variables that would be present when shooting with each gimbal separately or in different arms. And you can only “assume” that he didn't calibrate the RS2 properly, because at the end of the day a guy like Peter with experience and great results under his portfolio is not expected to make a calibration mistake, especially since he made all the effort to build a custom holder for a fair test. Also microjitter isn't much related to a mediocre calibration unless you adjust motor strength to some ridiculous values, but even then the gimbal would scream then lock itself and ask for a better calibration. The microjitter we've seen here is not related to “a bad calibration”, maybe the RS2 is just better for heavier setups and worse (than RSC2) with lighter setups. I still own both so I don't care, but the RSc2 did look smoother in this test.

[@DannyKimLife]

damn the amount of effort to test these two gimbals - thanks Peter

[@rothvisuals]

Test again with them in both right and left tubes! This is the kind of comparison I’ve been hoping for! Thanks much, Peter!

[@rothvisuals]

By that I mean alternate the tubes that the gimbals are in. Also, try doing three balances and with manual Rubin as well so that we’re all confident that the results are for sure.

[@BoReynolds]

THREE YEARS LATER and I STILL think your dad is pretty kickass! Just bought the SC 2 which is why I'm late to the party. GREAT Comparison Peter!

[@IvanSinghIG]

That metal rubbing on the grip gave me a smol heart attack xD, Amazing vid bro!

[@tshansen]

Just got the rsc2 myself, i did not need the extra bells and whistle on the RS2, and i have to admit...the rsc2 footage looked more stabile?? How the hell is that possible? Can there be something wrong with your gimbal? Cheers from 🇳🇴

[@thesud7]

anyone else noticed the light difference in the color grade (probably due to using two differen nd filters?

[@EndeavorabIe]

think it was done purposefully to tell the difference between the two setups

[@sarfios]

This video is stopping me from purchasing the RS2 over the RSC2, will the bere another video with comparsment?

[@ChanduShow]

Track name during the comparison. Anyone knows?

[@GabrielPadron]

Great video man. Love how your mixing those little vlogs into your reviews. Even if I won’t get either of those still pretty fun to watch. Cheers!

[@jhosybassman1]

amazing, I like your video.. so i need an advice which one should I buy?

[@JussiAlexander]

Apparently I wasn’t the only one who thought that the Ronin RC2 looked slightly smoother. Both are great gimbals though!

[@KasaTavs]

Love this video for various reasons, but what made it even better was to see you in the shop with your dad -- So dope!

[@philippblank]

Great video? Do you guys always turn off ibis on the gimbal? running the same setup. Thanks!

[@ronborkowski1721]

Its called a stick rule. Thanks for the thorough review. You made my mind up on the S2. Its awesome your dad is a machinist. Keep the videos coming.

[@alexsaltylife]

Yess, it’s Svezia! 😁 Greetings from Italy! You rock, man! 😎🤘

[@levidaragiu]

I only saw the thumbnail and title of this video, not noticing your name; I clicked on it, saw the inside of your "workshop" and I immediately felt right at home knowing it was you, Peter.

[@fredventure]

Nice video! But what do you think about the coming RS3 (15th June) - will it be any crucial updates?

[@Martinez_Photos]

I bought the RSC2 initially and then returned it and bought the RSC2 Pro Combo and I am so happy with it. The Pro Combo comes with the metal tripod and it does seem a lot more sturdier.

[@hamzashaikh328]

Sir what is the difference between RSC2 & RSC2 pro ?

[@TheShulg]

Did you use the same camera settings? The right side looks brighter.

[@BDubzzzzzz]

Did you try switching the sides they were in to see if it was something related to that? Also: is the rig balanced for the gimbles being two different weights? Lastly: are each of the gimbals equaly secure in each socket with no wiggle? I agree the RS2 had a lot more shake than the RSC2.

[@PeterLindgren1]

Both gimbals are secure at the mount, we balanced the rig to be centered and tried both gimbals in both mounts. This is the outcome 👍

[@BDubzzzzzz]

@@PeterLindgren1 awesome work! Thanks for the great channel!

[@vsproductionteam8093]

​@@PeterLindgren1 If to be the case.. you cannot hold a gimbal by the tripod alone. A top heavy gimbal or a non fixed battery attachment would lend to the instability and added movement of the gimbal's overall structure. Now put two hands on it as it was designed to be used, then you will receive the same and best results that 99% of all of the other reviewers are finding. Of course there may be other user error factors that need to be investigated. Our best guess.

[@TuckerPearce]

That thumbnail was hard not to click. I’ll likely never own this gimbal but I was drawn in.

[@tombuck]

It’s fantastic!

[@TuckerPearce]

@@tombuck no doubt, it’s an amazing device and a solid upgrade from the last one.

[@elmono3939]

When you shoot these "quick" scenes ( like in your dad's shop making the rig ), what focus do you use ? Always in M or Auto ? BTW: Great energy in your vids !

[@tamasszaraz4878]

Hi! Cna you also mount a camcorder on the rsc2 normally so that it has space on the back? My camcorders has the scew on the front, so, you have to push them quite to the back. Can you turn the base fast plate's front to the back, so it will fit normally. I don't know if the question makes sense to you 😀

[@rishabhbatra8479]

SC2 WAS VERY EVIDENTLY MORE STABLE IDK WHY ? DAMN BUT GREAT VIDEO PETER LOVE YOUR CONTENT

[@Markchristiankc]

Peter! What are the boards you're hanging your gimbals off of called? I want them!

Peter - that rack is badass....with the proliferation of gear, might be useful to talk "organization" ...racks, cable management, battery management, etc.. how you organize in the studio, how you organize for location shoots

[@JohnFrazierRom109]

It's pretty cool you get to work with your dad. The comparison is great as well. Thanks

[@Bcre8iv3]

Nice. But just a quick note. The RSC 2 has shortcuts that can be essily accesed by tapping the M mode button in different combinations. :) just an FYI.

[@gemwebb]

Still, I got spoiled with the DJI Osmo. Touch screen would be nice. Hate GOPro nav GUI style.

[@ciarav]

Cool studio/office you got! ✨ can't believe i'm one of the early viewers of this vid 😄

[@jorolo70]

I noticed that one of the gimbals tripod was more secure than the other, maybe there lies the difference? maybe the RSC2 is better at stabilizing, great content, Peter... cheers from CHILE!!!

[@OlegKovalov]

If you get RSC2 Combo DJI gives you a metal tripod not plastic (plus it has tons of great additions in combo vs just the tripod)

[@saschafirst]

When you guys were building the mount for the two gimbals i noticed, that one barrel was less tight than the other one... this is where the micro jitters come from ;)

[@PeterLindgren1]

There’s no space for either gimbal to move when attached to the mount so I doubt that that’s where it comes from 😊🤙🏼

[@saschafirst]

@@PeterLindgren1 ok.. could you make another test about it? Because now i feel like i should sell my RS2 again because of all these micro jitters.. i think having these jitters instead of the original Ronin S is not worth 800€ for me..

[@charlesnetzler2262]

@@saschafirst does your footage have micro jitters?

[@saschafirst]

@@charlesnetzler2262 yes, i think its because of the mount of the RS2. the battery grip and the gimbal itself are a bit loose in general, i think thats why people with the RS2 has more micro jitters.. Mine was also perfectly calibrated..

Hello creators, I've got a question regarding the dji rsc2 . I'm looking forward to purchase this gimbal for my Sony a7iii paired with the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 dg dn.

[@doulos5322]

i think they both looked fine and you kept the right side of the frame ungraded to push your conclusion adding more contrast and color to the left then said its better stabilized.

[@Nautavp]

When you open up the rsc 2 you can use the stand as a top handle

[@GavinMalm]

Good to see you Peter. DJI just got banned here in the USA so I just ordered the RS2. Crazy timing on this video lol.

[@revolutionimagesmedia7789]

They didn't get banned. Government agencies cannot purchase and use their products. The consumer market will continue.

[@GavinMalm]

@@revolutionimagesmedia7789 I understand that but it could be an issue of retailers not wanting to sell them due to public perception. Not many people ready past the headlines.

[@horu_8963]

i think the reason why rs2 is more unstable is the combination of batteries and gimbals. rsc2 is integral and rs2 is detachable, but if the bond is not tightened tightly, free play occurs and a lot of shaking occurs. The connection switch is not perfect either, so it's very uncomfortable.

[@41vids]

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

[@TechJungle]

That thumbnail is on point 🔥

[@jamhurdavronov5363]

Hi Peter, i heard that mobile gimbals not that strong with latest phones and wondering is it possible to use one of this gumballs with iPhone 12 or Samsung s21 ultra.? "Would wonderful if you make video about it"

[@starblazer32]

Thanks for the comparison. What the big differences are between the two of them are really helps

[@biglittlebirdie450]

Would have been good to see footage of the rig in action. Was the weight balanced between the two set ups. Isn't the S2 heavier ?

[@gemwebb]

Anyone try a SONY A7iv with any of these yet? I keep reading bad connection with Sony line.

[@robbraden3266]

Could it be that the S2 works better/smoother with a heavier payload? So for lightweight camera/lens combos the SC2 is smoother?

[@Leprutz]

Could also be a reason. I trust Brandon Li,s judgement sually and he feels the RS2 is way more steady.

[@BrannonNod]

Hahahah Peter Wonder who Els noticed YOU Giving Us the FINGER at the End....lol

[@skullier13]

I found it weird you didn't tighten the axis tighter until you clarify that you didn't know that it can be tighten more at the 5:10 minute mark... Because when I got my RS2, the arm still move when I tighten it and I was panicking for a while, while balancing the camera... Good info for those who didn't know about that...

[@ameenahsan9696]

if im not wrong may be the rs2 metal holder was little loose. why not try swaping the gimbal places and check?

[@PeterLindgren1]

Both were just as snug during testing 👍🏼

[@charlienixon9532]

My Weebill S looks like crap compared to these

[@Piet-fromN]

Buy DJI Ronin !

[@G1NEchannel]

I have both, the Weebill S which I bought first (being cheap😂) and the RSC2, RSC2 makes the Weebill look/feel/perform like a toy. It’s just been my reliable trusty dust collector. Just haven’t had the time to put em on eBay yet

[@patrickarinden6862]

I just saw this but I completely agree. I thought the weebil S was a steal at first. Even invested in doing some research prior to placing my order. Sadly, that wasn’t enough. No matter how hard I tried when it came to: walking, firmware updates, different dual handle grips, calibration, etc, the weebil S just performed terribly. I could Ninja walk in a straight line and the footage would still come out wobbly. It actually deterred me from using gimbals for months. Now that some upcoming shoots are calling for a gimbal, I pulled the trigger on the RSC2 yesterday. And man what an absolute refresher. Once balanced (which only took 15 minutes after not touching a gimbal since December) I never had to stress over any wobbles. Footage is clean; maybe ad a TINY bit of post stabilization (if you so choose) but it’s safe to say that I wasn’t me this whole time (for the most part) Overall, No one should have to check whether their gimbal is working properly between each shot; it shouldn’t even be on your mind. Knowing the capability of the RSC2 really pumps me up to hop back up on a gimbal again. And I really appreciate DJI for delivering. Not even joking, I stood up until 2:30am just just trying different shots and it makes me so happy. The weebil S on the other hand, good riddance. Setup: RSC2, P4K, (cageless) Meike 16mm lens. Small vmount clamped to the handle; not a counterweight in sight.

[@expresspost9491]

You did the exact comparison thanks Asif from Mumbai.

[@martinekwall4671]

Hmm, was already decided to go with the RS2. You know, coming from Canon, I like those red stripes :-) But why the RSC2 is more stable, is beyond my understanding. Tough choices, though I am sometimes irrational and buy stuff which I like, so might get RS2 anyway :-)

[@NoWheelDrive]

Quick question - could you use some RS metal accessories with RS2? And I wish there was some kind of conclusion in the end of this video. It seems RSC2 was more stable but who knows if that custom handle affected the test or not. It didn't look like a solid solution to handle both gimbals. I guess it would be better to lock them somehow and not just insert them. So I'm confused by this video...

[@willma91]

[@susanastorga8822]

Hands down this must be the most accurate review about these two gimbals on site. There is definitely a slight jitter on the SC2. Barely noticeable with the IBIS OFF. I have a EOS R, and I was thinking to get the SC2 because of price. But looking at these and since the EOS R doesn't have IBIS. I'm going to wait save a couple of hundreds to make it work on the S2. Wait for price to drop a little bit or get a sale in Adorama or BH. Peter, I just want to say you are the true example that you don't need to be on Canada or USA to make a successful youtube channel. It is definitely the creator and the thrive to give quality with your own personal touch.

Bro,i have bought weebill s after watching your vdos and many other influencers on youtube, and at my first payed project the gimbal had a problem, when i place the camera on gimbal the camera automatically goes down, ithink the joystick goes jammed to downwards and i returned it, as you said i was happy with weebill s other than built quality and now i am confused on buying another gimbal, sir what should i go for as i travel with gimbal a lot it should be compact and powerful, and should i invest on rsc2

[@YoelDiamante]

that great rig you custom made (i love manual works), actually neutralize each stabilizer posible difference, whereas heavier the stabilizer, steadier the result, therefore, here is expected same stabilization on both, as they are attached. resulting differences are due to different calibrations. i believe the should be tested separatedly, as the way they are intended to use.

Strange I was thinking the same thing. I saw the rs 2 was a bit more shaky than the rsc 2. Cool test

[@david243121]

the shakier footage on the RS2 is most likely due to a poor balance, or lack of Auto Calibration once the camera was balanced, to get the motor parameters right. It makes no sense that the RS2 would be shakier than the RSC2. He should retry with another shot at balancing.

When you set it properly RS2 results are really smooth.
