I am Korean. This is the first time I am writing a comment while watching foreign content. You're serious about reviews... You can't see this kind of content in our country. thank you i love you

[@JadeSambrook]

This was a very helpful video for a guy like me who just bought his very first gimbal (RS3 Mini). Especially the section on how to hold and how to walk with the gimbal. Thank you, Jeven, for being so awesome!

[@unworldlycreator9211]

Like wise

[@linkinjunior]

Same, looking forward to getting the movements and modes down.

[@KoenBrader]

I watched a lot of videos to learn gimbal functions and moves (I also have the RS 3 Mini). This is **HANDS DOWN** the best single tutorial on the subject.

[@ScottStein1]

Thank you so much, Jeven! I'd be lost without you! You've truly simplified and flattened so much of the learning curve, and have made my amateur videography possible. Our cruise tours wouldn't look the same without your wisdom and guidance, and our channel and business wouldn't be doing as well. So, again, thank you!

[@JevenDovey]

You're so welcome!

[@jamesruse5895]

Thank you again for, hands down, the best beginner's video on the RS3 Mini that I've seen, and I've seen plenty. Yours is the first that explains the setup, balance and use of the gimbal in such a detailed and easy-to-follow way. I am still struggling with the Tilt + Top/Bottom Heavy adjustments. Just can't seem to nail it. But I will. Kudos for another great one, Jeven!

[@whereisbraga5094]

just got the rs3 mini. thought i was gonna just watch the "setting up" portion and ignore everything else, but here i am an hour later having watched the whole damn thing. informative yet simple. i feel even more confident with this gimbal now. thank you!

[@BakdauletEnglish]

Thanks a lot! You literally teach as if you finished your bachelor’s in cinematic pedagogy 🙂 Thanks to you, this gimbal thing is super clear to me from now on.

[@paulasch.2278]

Just bought my first gimbal and was soo overwhelmed by the manual it came with. Nearly gave up but then I found your video! Just finished my first little film, thank to you - great content!! Thank you :)

[@Wayofthedream]

one of the better instruction videos, Jeven brings his real world experience and shares in his videos. Eggcelent!

[@detailboyzglendora2772]

This is the absolute best gimbal tutorial I have ever seen. Very detailed and explained it perfect.

[@anandsmedia]

i am from india just buy dj RS3 your guide is so helpful for me no words to say thank to you....god bless you

[@nataliereyy]

I've seen so many videos for the rs3 mini and this is the one I always come back to. you did such an amazing job explaining everything and I enjoyed how detailed it was. 10/10

[@fullViewJay]

Tip: If you are having troubling balancing the tilt axis....there is a third factor that you can control, and that is the camera mount. Moving that forward or backwards depending on the weight of your lens can help a lot. I have the FX30 and I was pushing the axis to the limit. Once I readjusted where my camera sat on that plate, it helped a lot with balancing.

[@CrushEatRepeat]

I just got the RS3 Mini and a Sony ZV-E10 for my first camera and first gimbal…and I can’t thank you enough for this long, very detailed and in depth tutorial! I watched lots of other videos before settling on this one and it was every single thing I needed to get started with my RS3 Mini. Thanks @jeven!

[@jvajam]

How does this not have more views? This is a really easy to follow instructions for the Ronin RS3 mini you’re so good at explaining it. I’ve watched videos of other competitors models and they are wrong and very poor

[@MeysamKianiii]

This man is awesome. Out of breath under the sun teaching us how to do this corroctly. everybody else would have done the studio explanation and that was it

[@Chris_P.eterson]

This is by far the best DJI RS3 Mini overview on the internet! Helped me a lot! Thanks mate!

[@kaalthai]

I cannot express how much I needed this video. Great quality, great teacher!

[@ianmeissner]

Nicely done!! I’ve been watching a number of Mini vids and yours by far is best detailed. Especially useful, is how you showed how all the different modes worked by shooting and showing the footage👍👍

[@bigdawg3319]

This video is highly underrated. Thank you for this. This is amazing

[@MarkDavisMHD]

I don't have a gimbal, have no real plans on acquiring one - but was glued to this video. This tool is far more than I imagined, and you do a great job of explaining and demonstrating (per usual). Thanks for providing in-depth content like this!

[@tony_terry]

There's a growing interest in a portable gimbal now with this mini version that works like a pro, thanks for the guidelines

[@michelestapleton]

I'm only seven minutes in and already your video is much better than the DJI tutorial for a new user. Thank you. (Wish I'd watch you first instead of the DJI tutorial set.)

[@jntechreview]

DJI should be paying you for making such a detailed tutorial. Thanks a ton!

[@jerzy9348]

Extremely grateful for the time and effort you have put in making this tutorial, menu's, app functions, control buttons, gimbal motions - all is explained in an easily understandable manner.

[@travellingman9031]

New camera arrived today so tomorrow I can start customising certain settings and set it up with the gimbal (also recently arrived lol). Excellent and most comprehensive instructional video that I have watched re the RS 3 Mini which I shall be replaying and following once again during setup. Thanks for investing so much time in this videos production.

[@Djangounframed]

Thanks man, I really appreciate the time you must have taken to put this video together. I am totally new to gimbals, so I watched this from start to finish before even turning my Mini on. Thank you.

[@buzzsawddog]

Thanks! Got my first gimbal last night and this is was a good start. I might have to go back and watch a few spots but thanks!

[@shaunhall7894]

best startup tutorial for the fx30. Bravo 👏 👏

[@JasonCollin]

Thank you so much for this video! I just got the RS 3 Mini a few weeks ago and only really watched a video on how to balance the camera on it. My results were very disappointing. After watching this video I feel like my gimbal knowledge was increased 100x! Just showing how to change that dial to something else to stop the focus error from coming up on my Sony camera was great, but the way you explained the different follow modes is the best I've heard, and now I actually understand the differences. Plus, I know and understand how and why I would want to use the Lock Mode as well. As a long time pro photographer and drone pilot who is just adding "from the ground" video to what I want to offer clients, your video is a big first step in getting me ready to start getting video clients. I am a subscriber and will be back to watch more! Thanks again!

[@JevenDovey]

Glad the video helped!

[@evanohanlon_]

This video is so informative. Just bought the mini gimbal and I feel much more confident and knowledgeable on the gimbal now. Great video!

[@cac2244]

Best darn tutorial. I got the RS3 and was lost, even watching other videos, so thanks for your clarity and easy to follow tempo.

[@samanthagargour1171]

Extremely detailed video that makes any beginner confident in getting started. Thank you for taking the time to make it!

[@raphaelsaenz842]

Thank you for a very informative video. One thing I did discover when you mentioned clicking the trigger 3 times to get it to face you is that if you click it 5 times it will return back to forward facing. Don’t know if you mentioned this in the video. Thank you.

[@SouthTexasLivingRealEstate]

I have had this video open on my desktop all day taking notes. I appreciate it! I am taking over the videography for my real estate business and my fellow agents. I cant wait to get started don't he storytelling down here in South Texas.

[@brundog807]

Ive been using gimbals since TAROT made one for my quadcopter almost 10 years ago. I just upgraded to a A7rIV and I couldnt resist this gimbal. Thanks for all the tips!

[@denkuhn1]

Waiting for my Gimbal to arrive. Watching that video was definitely worth it. Thank you.

[@ransomew]

Javen, thank you so much for posting. Long term photographer, learning the ropes with video, so I was surprised with the bonus photo modes you covered, love it!

[@hunterstewart04]

Jeven I don’t even have a mirror less camera I just use my phone but I always watch your vids because they are so engaging and packed with tips and tricks! Keep it up!

[@hunterstewart04]

I just have the DJI OM 5

[@dsera2721]

arey bhai 🐐

[@garypranzo9334]

I am so used to reverse axis for joystick control and it took a while to find the App control to change it to reverse. Now I love the gimbal.

This was an amazing class!!! I learnt so much and I apreciate it man, I do! I'm going to be documenting my 35kg weight loss journey and I can't wait to use this to upgrade my content.

Best gimbal beginner video for the DJ I rs3 mini

[@850Tech]

Fantastic video. Bought my RS2 Mini yesterday. I have a very old A6400 and your video helped me a lot. Unfortunately none of the bluetooth functions work with the gimbal with the A6400. ( i even had to buy a separate cable to connect the camera )

[@TheMikeBernard]

Glad you explained what a gimbal is before you started. I bought this thing and dont know what it is !

[@RoadReality]

Man, this is JUST what I needed to get started with my new RS3 Mini - THANKS! I have a Nikon Z30, which has horrible stabe - but with this and the 12-28 lens, I can totally vlog with this and leave the Sony ZV-1 at home - and I might not need too much stabe added in Resolve - THANKS AGAIN!

[@tml1z3l2]

The best gimbal tutorial ever

[@marke464]

Great video. I never realised how much there is to using a gimbal. Much appreciated.

[@_jessexploring]

Just got my first gimball and this video just saved my sanity thank you

[@RCGJR_]

Noobie on gimbals, am i suppose to keep the axis unlocked while filming?

[@Supergeologist]

Just bought one of these for my Nikon, these tutorials are an absolute bonus. One minor criticism on the gimbal is that it might have been useful if there were little thumb wheels on the arms for precise balancing. I do find moving the cradles manually along the arms tends to be a bit stiff.

[@raahensalophotography]

Just ordered my Mini today. This video is going to help a lot with my first steps with it 👍🏻 Thanks!

[@marcd8254]

Just the guide that every beginner needs, all easy and convenient with this beginner-friendly gimbal

[@hamzaalkerwi8117]

This is hands down the best tutorial video on the mini I have found but there is still something that I’m having trouble with and none of the videos seem to cover it. Everytime I use my Nikon z6 and the 24-70 lens on vertical I’m not capable of using it in ptf mode and I can’t figure out why. Aside from that, thank you for your incredible video.

[@nirmalya01]

Good and useful video but would have liked to see how camera parameters like focus, shutter speed, iso etc. are also being adjusted dynamically.

[@YashaWells]

This was so helpful and made this go around for me to purchase a gimbal. I feel way more confident this go around.

[@ankurbadoni1129]

Sir plz suggest Rs3 mini or weebil 3s

[@justicestillsphotography]

this is by far the best tutorial I have seen, you are excellent. thank you very much for this

[@TheArrogan]

It seems the balance adjustment is so delicate. Does every gimbal require such a precise adjustment ? Or because this is a lower grade product ?

[@TheLWallaceJr]

Just brought this gimble yesterday, this review has been super useful!!! Thank you!!

[@Johnny666M]

Hands down best channel on YT! Can I see that fast walk again :) Thanks for the great videos!

[@danielwinterhoff9741]

Great Video Jeven👍 clear speech and all i need to know in one video. FANTASTIC👌 Do you have some informations about the releasedate for the rs4 mini?

[@heydoh]

Thank you so much for this vide really helpful, just got my rs3 mini and didn't really know how to operate it well, now i do

[@UltimateTechHub]

I've been looking for an affordable gimbal for my Sony A73. This would be great for my KZbin video B Rolls!

[@filthfreaker_og]

Thanks for this video. Just got my gimbal in right now and I’m all set to go because of this 🤙🏽

[@sannycontent]

Thank you for the video just bought the rs3 mini to pair with r6 + lenses, want to get the 15-35 2.8 balanced next

[@TheDeterminedRunner]

Hi Jeven, did you ever make a guide video for the RS3 (not the mini)? Not sure if I'm just not seeing it on your video list? Just watched the whole video & realised this basically covers the RS3 as well. Thanks for the video Jeven, very helpful 👍

[@lukebfilms4232]

Hey man great video really comprehensive but I think youd really benefit from keeping things more segment For example the balancing segemnt is 8 minutes, theres a video on youtube that does it in 40 seconds. Definitely not saying to rush it that much but just shows the potential to really trim things down

[@JuanEstrada-b6h]

Best video so far ... helped me very much with my ronin thank you great work

[@Parker-Green]

Wow this is the most helpful video I’ve found for figuring out how to use my gimbal more effectively, thank you!

[@ol1175]

You explained it much better than Dji!!!

[@sairohit976]

Thank you so much sir 😊❤

[@katykatkaye]

Thank you for this detailed and awesome tutorial! Dang! I watched everything and it gave me a lot to learn about the gimbal! I'm about to rent (which it will be my first time to use a gimbal for my shooting) on October 31st! Will defo comeback here to do the balancing tutorial! This is really helpful, thank you so much!!!!

[@a.s.7235]

Dose it works with a battery grip?? Or is it too big for it?

[@itschurchlife7]

This video helps me understand a lot. Thanks for the info 💪🏾💯

[@saharvarona]

I just got this gimbal for my channel and i am sooo excited! I have the zv-e10 but it isn’t as smooth for vlogs and so i got this mini one (coz it is the cheapest lol) yayy!! Thanks for helping me decide which to get btw!

[@sleep-eat-breathe-music]

Great video! I am looking to know the best way to store the gimbal and I can't find it anywhere. Do I lock all of the motor locks, or does it not really matter? Thanks!

[@ManchesterBlackSheep]

This ia fabulous video for someone new to using a gimbal. Thank you very much.

[@YellowRoseDrones]

I had just bought, this week, the Ronin SC and then I found out it's a 3-year-old technology. It was on sale, but for $100 more I could get the S3 Mini. Would it be worth returning and doing that?

[@ABHI619able]

Thank You for making a detailed video of DJI gimbal, it helped me alot in PG cinematography class.

[@seancarrie3662]

Jeven, this was an insanely helpful video. I've been using gimbals for years as well. Back injuries are too common. Have you ever encountered any gear that might alleviate the strain on our wrists? I can focus on better posture on my back..but man, my wrists take a beating with these things and there's almost nothing we can do about it. Just with the nature of the design, its soooooo top heavy. It's like balancing a kettlebell on a wooden spoon.

[@spiritualantiseptic]

A steadicam vest, bro

[@navimarketing]

Thank you, Jeven! As a complete beginner to DJI RSC3, I've walked with you through the basic steps on configurating and using the very core function, and also, gave me the fundamentals to start thinking about the shots I'm going to use professionally, with my first gigs. Very clear explanations and definitively a must-watch for beginners as me!

[@staciema8024]

Thank you so much for making this video. You speak so clearly and explained how to use this gimbal very well

[@Soheyl.jafari]

It's a full free course, Tnx for all information❤

[@feliciamarxphotography763]

This video is great. I just recently got the dji RS3, and have been a little overwhelmed having never used a gimbal before. I feel like much of this will transfer nicely, but do you have any videos specific to the RS3?

[@inesventura5489]

Thank’s a lot! I’m starting my way with gimbals and this was really helpful.

Thx Jeven, your video is very useful for me and you explain the ideas in a very professional way. Please can give us the sony a7siii settings for the PP you used for this video? Thanks a lot

[@dia2ish]

I just wanna thank you for the great effort you made to deliver for us the information ❤

[@helencogan2187]

This was incredible!!! I now have the gimbal all set up properly!! THANK YOU Jeven!!!!

[@JevenDovey]

Glad it helped!

[@iiraiyen]

For Tilt adjustment, first aim the camera straight up and adjust the relative arm. After it aims up level, then set the lens straight and adjust the relative arm. Don’t waste time adjusting both at once.

[@andreasrochow5170]

Have you to switch off the IBIS and the stabe of the lens while using the gimbal?

[@orlandoreina1983]

Right now I'm trying to learn how to use the Rodecaster Pro II, the RS3 Mini, the Sony A7IV, the Mavic 3 Pro, OBS, and Filmora. My head is about to blow up. Just too much! 🤣🤣 Thanks for this video!

[@BayAreaDrone]

Thanks Jeven for the great review, I just placed an order on RS Mini 3 today. I was so done with Zhiyun Weebill S after some use, it was good first but then it stopped working with the recording on/off button. That was a deal breaker for my real estate shoots to have to push the record button on the camera every time. I'm definitely looking forward to this RS 3 Mini gimbal, vertical shoot mode will be very useful for my real estate gigs too!

[@OliBaitsMedia]

The only RS3 Mini video you’ll ever need! Nice work, thanks!

[@JevenDovey]

Glad you liked it!
