How To Balance DJI Ronin SC With Canon M50 & Small Cameras

[@Myyoutubehandleiswhat]

Just bought the Ronin SC. I’ve scoured KZbin for video after video before I came to your video. Your video my friend is the best one I’ve seen. Thanks for the in depth yet simple instructions!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@MadDogAdventures]

This is by far the best SC balancing video. I have balanced 3 lenses using this vid and this last 1, 11-22mm canon EF-M, just took me 2 minutes and was perfectly balanced 1st try. THANK YOU

[@anthonyrochester3661]

Massive respect to you, it's taken hours to stabilise the ronin sc gimbal with my M50 and after watching this, i got 1st time!! Thank you sir

[@AirPhotography]

That’s great I’m glad you found it helpful

[@RobbinThicc]

No other video, including the one from DJI, makes any mention of the riser plate for smaller, lighter cameras. I was about to pull all my hair out... wait, I'm friggin bald... but you get me. Thank you a lot.

[@PhilippDoukakis]

What would happen if you don´t use the riser and put the camera directly on the quick-release plate?

[@uphillcreativemedia827]

BEST TUTORIAL FOR GIMBAL !!!!!!!!! balancing the gimbal when you first get it can be very overwhelming, but this video definitely helps !

[@Hern_Media]

I was going to return my Ronin-SC because I thought it didn't work with my camera until I stumbled upon your video. You were very helpful, and your instructions were very clear. Thank you so much!

[@AirPhotography]

Glad I could help!

[@thinkvlog_4life503]

I got this gimbal today and 6 hours later I couldn’t figure it out lol and thanks to you I am ready to go out and film .. THANKS ALOT !! Keep up the good work

[@ForcefulFighter]

i wanted to thank you for the video. this is my first gimbal and have never set one up. as soon as i followed your steps my gimbal sprung into life. im using a 50mm so i had to adjust slightly. thank you again.

[@stonneyrocks]

Been trying to balance for the first time my DJI Ronin SC for hours now and I haven't figured it out till I watched your vid. You saved my life! HAHA! Thank you! :)

[@joebush3738]

Thank you so much for putting this one together so quick! Just ordered my SC and now It'll be a breeze to get it set. Much appreciated and glad to have a fellow Canuck providing such great content! Joe

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you always nice to see Canadian viewers watching my videos 🇨🇦👍

[@rongrosstube]

I"ve watched several balancing videos and so far yours is the only one that is straight forward, simple and complete. Thank you. A big question I have is how parallax affects panos done with the Ronin. Is there a way to balance and also have most of the parallax adjusted out? Thanks again.

[@starkestrength9273]

Thank you so much. I was not very happy with this procedure with the silent videos in the APP. Yours was awesome and worked first time!

[@danareynolds7843]

you have the best video on this process hands down. the difference is how you explain the tilt balance. Thank you

[@propertyreview24]

u really saved my life!! i have been figured like 2hours until saw your video! thanks! so the tips is adjust the 1st axis as face up, n bottom axis face front, then can balanced the position

[@Mooli]

The best Ronin Sc video I've seen.. and have watched a lot of them.

[@pass8084]

best tutorial i’ve seen. thank you so much

[@elmarkrafaelarevalo8256]

Thank u so much!!! I learned how to use it without connecting my camera to the gimbal since Im using an EOS M6 :)

[@michaelschnyder9680]

Spot on video exactly showing how to balance the Canon m50 with the Ronin SC. Thanks for putting this step by step video together it was extremely helpful.

[@dsfarag]

Best roninsc video by far

[@cosmicwebb]

A6400 cheatsheet for users with standard 16-50 Power Zoom lens it ships with. These are the settings after finally working it out! The camera is borderline too light for this gimble so using the spacer is necessary to achieve true balance. The lens cap must be off, the camera must be powered on with lens extended as it would be in real world usage. TILT: 3.3 ROLL: 3.8 PAN: 1.2 You're welcome 😊

[@PierceJPeterson]

Which do you recommend for a sony a6100 with sigma 16mm 1.4 lens? Ronin SC or Zhiyun Crane v2?

[@DJinternationalwig]

I watched 3 video your video was very detailed and easier to balance much appreciated

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you

[@Austinsview.mp4]

You’re freakin awesome man👏 I was about to tear my hair out I got it first try with your video! Definitely subbing

[@RaceDreamer]

Thank you very much for this, really needed that riser plate to help it balance even though it doesn't look like you'll need it!

[@ЖИЗНЬРУССКОГОИТАЙКИ]

Great, thank you very much! Make my adjustments with you and it works great!

[@mylastbraincell1989]

Absolutely excellent. Nailed it first try with my m50. Thank you.

[@saadaljabri3766]

Thank you for the video, the explanation is easy and clear accept the pan balancing you need to focus more on it.

[@chesterkollaart8423]

Thank you very much! This helped me better than other instruction videos and the DJI manual. Keep up the good work!

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much I’m glad you found it helpful

[@timdrake200]

Best explanation of the balance! Thank you !

[@ZaireeyKhairuddin]

i just bought a Ronin SC and still can't balance it until i see your tutorial. thanks a lot.

[@exporeview910]

I love m50. So this is an awesome chance to figure out what to do with it. Thank you!

[@highinvermont3525]

Thank you for a well done demo. What would be helpful would be to include attaching and activating remote cable. It appears not to fit on the gimble with the M50. Can you explain that?

[@richardxerri598]

an absolute fail by dji ronin not to have a usb-c able to usb-a left elbow!

[@randymayii1402]

thank you for this very helpful video, everyone else is super hard to follow! Great Video

[@MichaelStrawn_I_am]

OMG!!!! Thank you! You don’t know how long I’ve been trying to balance my Lumix G7!🤣

[@shabshah4705]

can u pls make a video of balancing as well as your experience/use of timelapse, motionlapse etc using rss cable as well? i also got g7 but want to confirm if it can be balanced and use all ronin sc features...thanks

[@MichaelStrawn_I_am]

Shab Shah Yeah! No problem. 

[@MichaelStrawn_I_am]

Shab Shah i’ll upload a video within the week.

[@shabshah4705]

@@MichaelStrawn_I_am great. Excited to watch your videos ...

[@CompareParts]

Thanks for this, much easier to follow than Ronins own video.

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you found it helpful

[@wildsurvivalskills]

I just bought a Ronin SC and it arrived yesterday. Today it completely stopped working. The app cant find it, the motors do nothing with the joystick. Totally shut out. Anyone have this issue. DJI's customer service is not responding and there is no live chat support for the Ronin, and Amazon is not taking responsibility saying it was purchased from a third party. Any help, anyone???

[@Ajonra]

Thank you! I got mine last week and I’m using the m50. I was so frustrated. This helped me so much! Will you be getting the pro kit? Would love a vid on how to use it with the m50.

[@AirPhotography]

I ordered the essential kit originally, I have the focus wheel arriving today but waiting for the rest of the parts to become available.

[@Ajonra]

Awesome! I already broke the type c adapter to micro usb trying to connect the thing to the m50. I had to order a replacement. This is definitely a journey so I’m tuned in to learn all that I can.

[@FITBASTIAN]

I got my ronin sc , and il be testing it out soon, thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@FITBASTIAN]

i have a question is it possibleto connect ith with bluetooth im tryin now, and im lost, or is it only via cable?

[@somebodysdog9235]

Awesome video! We have one on the way for our m50!

this was amazingly helpful

Great video! I have the Ronin S but this still really helped

[@edbergmartinezbravo1174]

Hey mate, nice video, one question have you used with the cable? And also have you found the option to use time lapse with the cable? I can't use it. Regards

[@Edubb336]

EDBERG MARTINEZ BRAVO have you figured this out?

[@siddharthadutta3140]

Very helpfull for my small camera canon m200. Thank you..

does your ronin make sounds? Not loud but does it make some?

balancing without the cable... good tutorial :D

Excellent video! Thank you so much :)

[@reetujm8375]

I've actually seen many videos for Ronin balance...Trust me this is the best. Thanks a lot for it.. And will it be the same balance process with DJI Ronin S using canon 200 d with 50 mm lens?

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@holidaybackpackers1841]

Please make a video on active track with Canon M50 using Ronin SC. I am trying to do it for last two days and couldn't get the result.

[@PouyaLucky]

I tried and failed many times due to: 1. The input jack on M50 is on the right side meaning the provided by DJI USB-C to Micro-B of the M50 is too long and will hit the motor. 2. even if you somehow manage to solve problem 1 then your camera will tilt to the left since there needs to be a clearance from the motor and then you need to somehow balance it with weight since you can't move it any more. 3. The active track requires a smartphone mounted on top, when you do that, since M50 you have to reduce the height so much that the bottom screw of SC touches the lower motor. So if you do find the solution, please do let me know

[@lusterdavis966]

@@PouyaLucky I am also having trouble using active track with my cannon M50, you mentioned the smart phone had to be on top of the camera but I do not see if this is possible because of the light at the top. Any input or assistance will be much appreciated.

[@richardxerri598]

@@lusterdavis966 you put the phone mount on the hot shoe. You shouldn't need the flash or can mount externally.

[@PelicanCanCancan]

@@richardxerri598 still doesn't balance though. The weight of the phone tips the rig back and the phone screen hits the gimble. To balance it out the tilt needs to go down so far it hits the pan when doing testing.

[@richardxerri598]

@@PelicanCanCancan I haven't tried yet with a Huawei Mate 10 but I do have an ipod touch so pretty light and report back!

[@LandLifeStoriesBeyondWords]

Its very effective !! Tks for the tutorial !!

[@PouyaLucky]

Thank you for this. I find the M50 exteremly hard to balance on Ronin SC, and Active Track is almost impossible. I tried and failed many times due to: 1.

Which gimbal would u recommend for m50 users like me who likes to start with short film making and music vids. Also lenses, can dji ronin support m50 with long and heavy lenses?

This helped a bunch! Thank you. New subscriber.

[@christofabt8958]

Very useful, thank you a lot!

[@aeonversestudios01]

Perfectly balanced -- as all things should be.

[@UnusualAttitudes]

It’s pretty easy to balance the M50 on there by itself, but trying to balance it with the phone mount on top is another thing altogether. I’m having a very difficult time of it!

[@mrpachito]

Had any luck getting it done. I just bought my SC and it's really giving me a hard time

[@欧宗]

Hello, can you do a mobile phone plus how to level the stabilizer

[@Totustuus2022]

A question that it may decide me buying this gimbal: Can you balance more than one camera/lens and store the setup in the gimbal as a profile 1, profile 2, etc? It will be a pain if you have to doing this balancing act everytime you change a camara or you change a lens in the camera. Thank you for your videos. They are very informative.

[@RealBaldnold]

Fantastic video this helped a lot many thanks

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it

We also have the ronin sc and a canon m50, but don’t know, how to balance it properly with the a phone on the hot shoe. Could you help us please?

[@TheReal-HopeBoykinDance]

I was having a hard time too, but if you look within the app, at the tutorials for balancing, it says you must balance the camera with the phone holder tilted back at 45 degrees. It made no sense to me, but it worked.

[@AirPhotography]

I’ll maybe make a separate tutorials were bouncing with a smart phone mounted

Very good instructional balancing video great job

[@AirPhotography]

Thank you very much

[@pradiphansda4792]

Which camera support in this Gimbal?

[@AkashNayee]

Ahh thanks for posting this. Just to clarify, in theory if you always use the same camera and lens, then once you've set it up once, it should basically be good to go (with maybe MINOR adjustments) if you just take it out of the base plate with it marked?

[@AirPhotography]

Correct if you were always using the same camera you only have to balance it once. If you add something like a microphone or a lens hood you might have to make a few slight adjustments but sometimes that’s not even necessary

[@AkashNayee]

@@AirPhotography So I just got my Ronin-SC, unless I'm being mistaken, I don't think you can use the Sigma 18-35 on the gimbal, I can't do the balancing the plate part. Even with the plate pushed as far back, the camera is too top heavy so falls. I think it only works with a lighter lens

[@ullbill]

Exactement la caméra que je voulais pour ce stabilisateur, les autres modèles étant très chers si je me fie à la liste de caméras compatibles avec la Ronin-Sc.

[@vanessachristidis9252]

ive had mine for 3 weeks and I am ready to throw it in the ocean 🤬 I am seriously NOT technically minded so what was I thinking getting something that I have to fiddle around with?! Bloody sales staff said it was Easy! I feel like showing them a video on me trying to figure it out! Stupid thing after 3 weeks is still not balanced, your video has made all the sense but I am still trying to balance it as I have a Rode speaker with dead cat on it and it doesn't like balancing with that attached. Any suggestions???? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Jayj93pgt]

does the lens moving in and out for different zoom levels affect balance enough to cause problems? or do you need to set the mm to whatever you want first, then balance, then shoot every time?
