Hello and thank you for checking out my video! In order for the Sony A7C to talk to the gimbal you need to enable PC Remote in the camera menu system here: MENU → (Network) → [Smartphone Connect] → [Smartphone Connection] → [Off] MENU → (Network) → [Transfer/Remote] → [PC Remote Function] → [PC Remote] → [On]

[@jacktaylor5040]

Please help! My A7C is in place on my rsc2 but the record button will not work nor will the focus wheel! I’m sure I’ve done what you’ve said too

[@flyboystelevision]

@@jacktaylor5040 same here. Let me know if you fixed it

[@joet9451]

@@jacktaylor5040 try using the cable that was included that is for Sony. And not usb-c

[@irishmaninflorida1608]

Mine says CANNOT RECOGNIZE THE USB CABLE

[@jonahdion1423]

I... Genuinely don't know if I have ever seen a better tutorial than this, on any topic ever

[@figfate]

This is by far the best video on how to setup this gimbal, especially for a beginner. I appreciate all the details and what I most appreciate is the why. Understanding why I’m doing something really makes it sink in more for me. Thank you for putting this together. I have saved it as a reference as I get used to how to use this thing.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Osef]

better than DJI tutorials

[@davejones795]

You are a life saver. Great breakdown of a challenging task when you are a new user. DJI should hire you. Thx

[@Jason_Hermann]

Wow, thanks Dave :) Jay

[@tylerfayosephotography]

Agreed!!!

[@jemimastubbs6559]

Absolutely!

[@91mattmac]

Agreed! When I pulled this out of the box I was like "oh dear, what I get myself into" after watching this though, all doubts have been put aside.

[@garryfield2628]

Agree ….. top tutorial for beginners!

[@mcnabbmark]

Beyond any step by step I've watched, this was SO professional, and I am very grateful for your efficient level of detail and close ups of every stage!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thanks :)

[@Daniel-te8xh]

Just bought the gimbal yesterday and watched your whole vid today! Saved me hours! Thanks a lot. Loved the step by step guide!

[@philipsmith228]

Idk about anyone else but I’m patiently waiting for the part two video because this video was great.

[@frankzapata18]

One of the best tutorials I’ve found on KZbin📷🎞️

[@Jason_Hermann]

Appreciate that👊

[@briantium]

This has the best explanation I've seen as to the "why" when it comes to balancing the camera, in particular the emphasis on lining up the mass of the rig with each motor. I've been using a gimbal for a while now and basically winged it each time, dealing with the frustration, but this clarified things to a degree that connects everything for me. Great job!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you Brian :)

[@Leprutz]

I had to rebalance the gimbal 3 times, first the camera alone. Then I forgot that I had the raveneye, so i had to balance with it and then I remembered to focusmotor had to be balanced again. One good thing though at the third time I had no problem balancing it and the ronin app said everything works fine. So I am quite happy in the end. But yeah when someone has no clue it can be daunting.

[@h_sarraf]

What an amazing, thorough, clear and perfectly paced and produced tutorial. It was so darn stressful and intimidating until I found your video. Thanks heaps.

[@energytrainingsolutions7785]

Hallalujah! and thank you Jason. After the frustration of plowing through the manual and the several useless set-up-this-gimbal-in-3-minutes videos I found yours. Thanks for slowing it down, going through EVERY step (and substep) being so clear and talking to us in a way that is accessible. Too many guys want to sound like experts and the way you present puts us at ease and let's us know that there are no stupid questions. Loved the footage of your kids, they are naturals!

[@rojanalocius7100]

excellent Great review Jay! Thanks for making this. Outside of balancing, demonstrating the options was a life saver

[@Djr481]

Thanks for a beginner video. you explained everything with ease and showed everything in great detail with out going into much detail great job can't wait for part 2

[@Lachri]

This was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for the help!! I can't imagine what a mess this would have been with just the instruction booklet!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad it was helpful and thanks for the comments!

[@chadloucks]

Thanks Jason, I really appreciated your video! Well done, great explanations!

[@rhw2005]

Fantastic tutorial - Learnt so much! Thank you.

[@arielvue704]

WATCH THIS!!! I purchased my DJI RSC 2 today and I watched this video today too - I can walk away comfortably knowing how to assemble, calibrate, and manipulate modes from this video. Thank you, Jason! Proficiency will come with time/practice, but this video is where any new user needs to start. I will definitely mark this video to reference again.

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad it helped you out and thanks for the very kind words Ariel :)

[@austinlambdin]

Dude I just spent like an hour and a half trying to watch other videos and figure out the calibration for this thing, and watching your video helped me so quickly and made me understand the process way easier. You’re a freaking life saver, my guy

[@Jason_Hermann]

I'm really glad it helped, and when I was learning how to use the gimbal I had the same problem trying to find a tutorial that worked for me at that time. So After I finally figured it all out I decided to create this for all those in need like I was about 2 years ago :) Thank you for the very kind words Austin and all the best, Jay

[@e-motion.pictures9315]

Thank you so much. Your tutorial help me so much for starting with this great tool !

[@9264hitman]

Thank you! grate info saved me loads of time trying to set up.

[@clairezurek3165]

Thanks for getting me set up with my new rig! You are seriously gifted at breaking it all down. Knowing it was going to be above my technical pay grade, I grabbed my mechanical engineer husband to follow along with your video and really help me understand what you were saying about this new equipment. Thanks to your calm, descriptive approach--I'm feeling good about it and ready to apply it tomorrow at a home editorial shoot. Eeeeeks. (Still photos are my thing so I will predominantly snap those, but I'm secondarily going to attempt making a video of the house as well.) I appreciate you very much. Thank you, Jay. Keep up the awesome work. Best, Claire

[@Jason_Hermann]

Thank you very much Clair for the kind words and you will do fine!! The gimbal takes a decent amount of practice to get used to, so just be patient and enjoy the buttery smooth footage you are going to get!! All the best, Jay

[@OmarZakiTopics]

thanks a lot

[@Jason_Hermann]

You are most welcome

[@akimmer]

Thank you so much!!! This is my first gimbal and your video helped me so much with set up.

[@workoutlui]

Ahh brother, thank u very much for this great video! Just bought mine today and needed this! Great demo vid and u have a happy and nice family! 👍🏽🙂

I really appreciate you going through step by step! I got my RSC2 a few months back and struggled getting to know all of the functions. Very helpful!

How are you liking it i just got mine today

[@cooganvideography6705]

Very helpful, thanks for this video!

[@Maigeru]

Thank you for being so thorough and keeping beginners in mind. When you said how by the end of this we would know how to fully setup and use our gimble, it was so reassuring lol.

[@Jason_Hermann]

You are so welcome and I was really hoping saying that would ease your tensions ;) Trying to figure out one of these things from scratch is really a daunting proposition... Thank you very much for the kind words and all the best, Jay

[@raspootin2818]

Was thinking of getting the RSC2 but I was afraid that it was too complicated to use. Thanks to this, I'll be ordering mine now. Good job on the tutorial slash passive marketing skills!

[@Jason_Hermann]

Awesome to hear Harley, and thank you for the very kind comments :) Jay

[@arctichabon]

Awesome explanation! Thanks so much for the video!

This is a pretty good tute for assembling gimble , thank you Jason for the detailed video

[@luism.2050]

Very thorough as usual! Love your content! You showed quite a few “hidden” functions that can be triggered by various buttons combinations 👍 1 mode I think DJI should add by default is the tilt follow.

This is one of the best tutorials, period - covered all aspects of the gimbal. Setup, balance, menu options, dials and example usage including footage. Thanks!

[@iansquirephotographyandvid1576]

Best tutorial I’ve found for this gimbal! Well done. I’ve just bought one to film with a Nikon Z6 but the record button on the gimbal grip only works intermittently. Any ideas ?

[@Jason_Hermann]

Glad it helped and unfortunately I do not have any idea why it would be intermittent like that.Perhaps the cable? Sorry Ian, Jay

Thanks man, really cool tutorial!

totally helped me getting my hands on the rsc2. glad to have come across your channel. cheers mate.

I actually like the RSC2 over the RS2. Thumbs up if you agree!

Can you explain why? I have the rsc-2 combo, but can get the rs2 non combo for the same price. Was considering returning to upgrade

[@user-dh5fp4gw1b]

@@justinsiebert6952 do it dude, the folding on sc2 is a joke

Don't you hate it when you've balanced it perfectly to find you haven't inserted the battery!
