DJI owes you some money. I just pulled out wallet and bought this just now.

[@learningcameras]

Hahaha, well done my bro...you won't regret it! Let me know how you like it!!!

[@raamchandra8649]

[@ChristopheFilippi]

Haha, same!!

[@samyakpatel7422]

@@learningcameras hello, I just bought the ronin rsc 2 pro combo after watching your review and I have the canon 80 d. I have a issue that camera is not autofocusing while on RSC 2. I have to do it manually with the front dial of the RSC 2. camera and the lens is on AF. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? Thank You!

[@learningcameras]

@@samyakpatel7422 So I personally almost never actually connect my camera to the gimbal so AF wouldn't be an issue. Not sure with that particular setup what's going on but it seems like the gimbal thinks you are trying to manually focus

[@karlhouser2921]

The quick release system is hands down its best feature! A very simple design that exponentially upgraded user experience!

[@dontpanic8525]

Allways the most informative channel among the bunch! Thanks for sharing your hands on experience with the RSC2!

[@learningcameras]

Thanks os much Allan!!!!

[@ConceptNewEra]

This gimbal is such a good piece of equipment, definitely want to upgrade my ronin s to this. The general locks on the arms seem to be way too useful! Love this video! 💯✔️🔥

[@oscar8695]

Cool review and nic video! Always nice to get the confirmation of a good purchase. 😊 As soon as the RS2 and RSC2 came out, I was already impressed and just had to purchase it, without knowing if I really needed it. One year later, I love it even more and am still finding out new things. Honestly speaking, now that the 3rd Gen has been introduced, I was a bit concerned that it would degrade the RS(C)2, but after seeing several reviews it's clear to me that the RSC2 is still relevant and still has not been overtaken by the competition.

[@robloxprincess8218]

Very impressive features on the RSC2. I mean just looking at the montage and those short clips, you can already tell this gimbal is high performance.

[@williamsteele760]

I have to say it's impressive how DJI is leading the technology of lighter equipment with higher performance.

[@timmyturner6996]

There is no limit with creativity when you have this gimbal.👌

[@destinationdave1416]

This was an amazing review ! I appreciate this video , I’m 100% sold !

[@learningcameras]

Thanks so much David

[@malikwu6444]

Very nice review, stunning visuals. Just what to give a small advice: slow mo footage makes the jitter less noticeable, you should use more regular speed footage to show the stability more objectively.

[@spicer3595]

The footage speaks for itself. RSC2 is of phenomenal quality!

[@schizophrenic2832]

I like your setup! Maybe I'll get the same accessory for my RSC2!

[@staystrapped8298]

I bought the RSC 2 on a whim yesterday. Wasn't sure what I was getting into I just I knew I needed a gimbal. I'm happy I found your review and stoked to up my own. Thank you for making the video!!!

[@learningcameras]

Awesome...thanks! Hope you enjoy the new gimbal

[@npc2255]

The most efficient and reliable gimbal I must say. Ease of use and performance is on point.

[@VideoGuy9461]

How does this video not have ten times the views? Your content is fire.

[@learningcameras]

Thanks so much Matt!!!

[@bamcameback]

Ever since my ronin m started spinning uncontrollably I haven’t had a non dji gimbal that was ever close. Definitely need this now that the price is so affordable. Great content dude !

[@learningcameras]

Yeah, price is down a quite a bit...thanks so much!

[@user-jy4ix7dj7p]

Same here! I'm still enjoying my simple EOS250D and RSC2 setup!

[@johnbroman7134]

Absolutely love your videos!!!

[@learningcameras]

Appreciate that John!

[@jchambo86]

I'd love to see an accessories video for this (different grips, UURig Swing Grip vs. Twist Grips, etc)

[@BenjaminBryant]

Great video thanks!

[@marianviorelradu3831]

Your review helped me buy this rsc 2 today for my panasonic s1. I've been looking for a gimbal for two weeks and nothing available on the market. It seems they vanished. Today i found one and bought it almost instantly. Thank you for your good work and nice review!

[@learningcameras]

Appreciate that Marian! Enjoy

[@spicer3595]

I know many would like the RS2 but ever since they were launched I've always preferred the RSC2

[@precisionplaynl]

After using the ronin-s for years until a week ago, I finally got myself the RSC 2 and honestly love it !! It's so compact and lightweight and portrait mode and foldable shooting is a game changer. 👏

[@6mazing]

Why didn’t you got with the rs3 ? Im stuck between either that or this one.

[@precisionplaynl]

@@6mazing I got the RSC 2 because I got a great deal on it, it's definitely an upgrade from my Ronin-S so I'm happy with the functionality of of the RSC 2. But if you got the money for an RS3 I would definitely go for that one! Love the auto locking function on the RS3 but either way Wich one to choose is on you, they both are great gimbals. 😁

[@davey2516]

It's an incredible equipment that gives impressive video stability! But its charm will always be its portability! No other gimbal can match that!

[@MichaelSPalmer]

I’ve even enjoying mine for the last year too. Learned a ton. It’s a massive step up from the prior generations in quality and ease of use.

[@learningcameras]

Completely agree

[@davey2516]

I finally got some extra cash and got to upgrade my first SC to an RSC2! I'm sure it's gonna be worth my money!

[@kyerizzlethegeneral5171]

Oh I am so sold on this 🔥🔥

[@louisfrantz8940]

It's all true! I tell everyone who asks me, the RSC2 is totally worth investing on.

[@jaysonjay7852]

hell ya! Waiting for mine to come in the mail this week. Worth the $$. DJI is the Apple of Drones and Camera accessories

[@learningcameras]

Awesome! Definitely agree

[@hey9784]

Raveneye technology is impressive!

[@MosChowdhury]

Dan I think you’ve just convinced me to get the RSC2 instead of the RS2. Raven Eye is something I definitely want but may have to purchase after due to budget - the RSC2 at least allows me to have that option whereas I can’t with the RS2. Plus being able to fold it so small and the long life battery AND being able to handle the weight of proper lenses. Yep, this is one for me. This video highlighted the pros for me nicely! 👍🏽

[@learningcameras]

Hahaha, yeah...I also have the RS 2 but honestly use the RSC 2 more because I keep accidentally hitting the touch screen on the rs2. Plus I prefer how the rsc2 adjusts

[@robbristow]

Just be very sure about compatibility of your camera with the raven eye and the gimbal. I bought the RSC 2 and found that if I use raven Eye I have an image as usual but I do not have camera control on my smartphone (s.a.iso). I can only have this facility if I directly connect the camera to the gimbal. - then I do not have active tracking and the other facilities that Raveneye gives. Guess a new camera is called for?

[@nx_Exe]

daaaang, I think I'm gonna buy one for my a6000. So hype.

[@indago1]

DJI RSC 2 vs Zhiyun WEEBILL-2 - we need it :D

[@justhanzcreativemaniac2936]

I cannot decide Rs3 mini without raveneye or Rsc 2. Now i know, This one is awesome video, thank you. Subscribering

[@learningcameras]

Definitely a tough choice haha. Appreciate that!

[@garypaine8]

Definitely cant go wrong with the Ronin SC2 and S2! Leading gimbals at the moment

[@briansingh1635]

word homie

[@megas13proto]

This totally sold me on it. I'm gonna save for this and a new camera

[@learningcameras]

Awesome! I'm still using it daily

[@nostalgia_box]

One question. How to lock or disable pan axis on this gimbal?

[@SirCottiOfficial]

9:57 this is one thing I was worried about when the camera is too big (or the gimble is too small) and the viewfinder makes contact with the gimble arm.

[@THABEATLODGE]

Just bought after this video

[@joaoramos32]

Great Review. Would you compare them to Dji Rs3 mini? really curious to see the the difference between those

[@bishwajit8]

Sir can you share your motor speeds for rsc2. I am really struggling with it

[@alwinbenjamin]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Jake-vr6if]

Hey do u mind sharing your gimbal mode settings, I hv DJI rs2 n I use it to shoot weddings

[@yankarda144]

Nice review! Did RSC2 can use pan and lock mode when going to vertical mode?

[@VeryCoolJeep]

when i record with raveneye my videos are going to my phone are without any sound. What am i doing wrong? My setup is Sony A7iii with Sigma 24-70mm 2.8

[@NOURA1556]

is it light as zhuyin plus or heavier ? im holding on the plus because of its weight

[@Imlloydserrano]

Hi Dan Great video thanks. Quick question would you recommend the RSC 2 using Sony A7R4 with 14mm lens for real estate?

[@richey.design]

Just found this video, do you find any weight issues with the S1H?? I can't seem to have it move beyond a certain angle before the motors overload and stop working. To the point that the panorama function doesn't work because they overload.

[@djteknovibe93]

Can you adjust autofocus without touching the shutter button on the camera or back button focus button?

[@TimelineVideoProductions]

How is the joystick compare to the other ronin models?

[@nepitaj4549]

Does the RSC2 also include the FPV move in portrait (vertical) mode?

[@samyakpatel7422]

hello, I just bought the ronin rsc 2 pro combo after watching your review and I have the canon 80 d. I have a issue that camera is not autofocusing while on RSC 2. I have to do it manually with the front dial of the RSC 2. camera and the lens is on AF. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP? Thank You!

[@ericfoley3077]

I see it's too way ahead of other gimbals that even in 2021, it is still more advanced than newly released models.

[@ashmaterial]

Can you please tell, if it is possible to balance tamron 35-150 f2 with a7IV on this gymbal?

[@lostfaithand]

Would love to know what I am doing wrong, my gimbal is balanced perfectly, auto tuned but still get jitters, just can't get smooth footage and nothing like I see in this or other youtube videos.

[@FlippedNormal]

Is the rs2 compatible with the original blackmagic production 4k?

[@andysmith1595]

Can you use this gimble to take a photo if you want to shoot still photography using gimble.

[@Sirrom-ii9wm]

6:20 Dan what were your camera settings & can I get results close to that with my new GH6? Yeah. By next week I will have this thing.

[@marteung]

QUESTION: I want to mount a camera (Canon M50 or M6) with the usb port on the right - does anyone has the same pairing? Is this a problem?

[@JWStruggle]

Excellent info am in the market for one; The combo jumps the price up $250 curious if it's worth it

[@Island_boyjason]

Mines coming tomorrow

[@DangLeProject92]

Do you think rsc2 work well with a7siii & 1635Gm or 2470GM ?

[@gearheadflicks]

Can the average person hold this with camera in single hand and move it around? I ride an e-board so i need another hand free for a remote.

[@zooooooooooooooooooooooooo9533]

Im glad it works well with a Blackmagic!

[@suatsekil]

with tilta case or without

[@hashirabdullah945]

my rsc2 is not charging camera but other gimbals do charge camera while using it how to fix it

[@ekphotography]

Does anybody have problems triggering their Sony Cameras with the record button on the RSC2? I just tried with the latest firmware on my RSC2 and FX3 and it triggers the cameras record but it get's stuck, tally lights are red but the camera does not record and does not stop even from the camera. I have to turn the power off and force reboot the camera.... Any suggestions?

[@Chris707ac]

What were your settings, for the S1H and the gimbal?

[@RussellMarino-df6zh]

Could you tell me if the DJI RSC 2 is compatible with the Nikon D780 and/or the OMD OM-1.

[@dalstarvisuals1385]

I am a newer owner of a RSC2. What is the best mode for shooting video of a live band?

[@akhilmehra2781]

I have a canon 90d and I’m confused between DJI RSC 2 and Zhiyun Crane S2, which one should I go for?

[@Dukesy]

Will this hold an R5 with the RF 24-205 f4 L lens?

[@alphagonzalez93]

Will it support a Sony a7siii with a G master lens 24-70 mm?

[@ryanseif]

Nice video. You made me to order one. BTW nice video, what camera did you use for your model in orange ( golden ) outfit? S1H?

[@learningcameras]

Hey! So the model in the Orange was actually shot on the Sony A7SIII using the Polar Pro mist ND. I have more on that in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGPLn3uVq82Zfqc

[@theodumont1648]

Thanks for the great video ! When buying the gimbal, is the quick-release system included or do we need to buy something specific as extra?

[@learningcameras]

Sorry for the late reply! Thanks...the quick release system is included

[@Arome_Shot_It]

They come with it

[@OrdinaryFilmmaker]

Dan, I'm doing a live stream Friday at 8:00. I'll do a brief news cap, then discuss the implications with a live panel. Would you be interested in attending? Please send me a DM on twitter if so. Would love to have your commentary.

[@filipwielechowski1819]

Hey, I can see you have Sony Alpha as a thumbnail. Do you know if you can control the cameras focus without the focus motor with the sony cameras?

[@learningcameras]

I know you can recording but I never use the gimbal to change settings so I honestly don't know

[@hybridmediagh3617]

Can Dji rsc2 works perfectly using 5dmark4 + sigma 35 f1.4

[@octavianosinsights50]

Yo man Where did you get the intro sound from (0:42)

[@nightdonutstudio]

I have used it for over half year. I do have some issue. Hope some are due to user error. 1. There is no dedicated lock mode. You have to press the button all the time if you want to be in lock mode. That is not convenient. If I am use dual handle or if I mound it on monopod. There is no way for me to active the lock mode. There should be a lock mode that programed in the menu. 2. After power on, the camera will start to drift left or right slowly, it won't stay still. I do not know what is the cause. 3. I find if I have IBIS on, the footage is really bad. So I have to turn off the IBIS then the result is good but not great since the IBIS should make it smoother. I never need to turn off IBIS from other gimbals I have used previously. and it helps reduce those micro jitter. But not the case with this gimbal. Drive me crazy to figure out.

[@EdddTheSnap]

Please ware to buy handle?

[@ericbulington2421]

Do you think it would support a Canon R6, and the RF 24-70 F/2.8 for a wedding video, or would I need to go up to the RS 2? Thanks and great video! Way better than the first looks that others have posted.

[@learningcameras]

So it definitely will support it but I'd say if you are planning on mostly using heavier lenses, the RS2 might be a slightly better fit. As a bonus, the RS2 isn't really heavier because the frame is carbon fiber: amzn.to/3EIXsyP Thanks so much!!!

[@houseofkemp1]

Thank you Dan. I own the first Gen RC and my biggest problem is that when I use heavy lenses, I just cant get the camera back far enough to balance it. Do you know if this one has a bigger range of movement for getting your camera back further?

[@firpofutbol]

I use the Smallrig counterweight mounting plate (BSS2420) and attach counterweights in the back of the camera. You have to play around with how much weight to add based on the weight of your lens.

[@jonathanroy9013]

does this work with the Nikon D5200??

[@mex5341]

maybe its best with pare of lumix Ibis but i hate to use this with my sony a7III with lens which doesn't have stabilisation inside

[@coszec]

Just found the page and subscirbed.

[@learningcameras]

Awesome! Thanks so much

[@nandunandu9340]

It is working on dslr camera's????

[@kbkemcolian]

Hi Dan, Thank you for a very informative video. I just bought my gimbal and I have a Sony alpha camera. Can I mount my camera on the gimbal with a cage on it? Thank you.

[@learningcameras]

So in theory you absolutely can. Depending on the camera lens setup it can change the center of gravity ever so slightly making it more difficult to balance so just keep that in mind

[@wildone9947]

would the DJI RSC 2 and SC be able to hold a Sony a6400 with a 18-135mm lens? please help I'm not sure which to get, with my main issue being budget.

[@learningcameras]

Yep, both would be great for that. So both stabilize the camera which is the intended use but the RSC2 has way more features, is easier to use, is better built, and is lighter so worth it if you can afford it

[@flex_ur_faith]

Will this work with a camera lens?

[@OsiasSpeaks]

For under slung mode, why not just turn the gimbal upside down? Just let it hang what’s the difference? Lastly does it integrate with the A7s3 better now? I tried it out a few months back and it wouldn’t communicate with the camera properly, causing camera to sometimes shut down, also record button wouldn’t work depending how you wanted to use the gimbal, for example if you wanted to use raven eye plus record buttons or change iso/shutter using gimbal you would have to configure the connection to the raven eye with different cables.

[@learningcameras]

So, for just a single shot...not much of a difference with just turning the gimbal upside down but depending on how you rig the camera with external monitors, it can make a difference. To be honest I usually don't connect the gimbal to the camera. I accidentally cancel recording all the time lol but I have used it with the Raneveye and it does work but I have not tried changing camera settings via the gimbal as I just personally prefer to be cable free whenever possible and too often accidentally change them

[@npc2255]

the rsc2 makes DJI fans out of filmmakers and enthusiasts!

[@johncharles9005]

Which camera shot that BMW / city section? It was so clean

[@learningcameras]

Thanks! Actually was down in Miami

[@DownSouthMedianc]

Anyone know what accessory he is using at 1:30? Looks like he has a monopod attached to the gimbal. I need that in my life.

[@learningcameras]

Yep! This is the monopod I'm using now: bhpho.to/3HlpYrP

[@StathisMitsios]

I am about to buy a gimbal and I am in a dilemma between RS2 and RSC2 (pro combo of both). I use an A73 with 24-105 F4 and sigma 14-24 F2.8. I really like the versatility and how compact is the RSC2 but I am I a little worried about the payload and if my 24-105 fits on RSC2 at 105 without hitting to the back of the gimbal. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or opinions!

[@learningcameras]

Hey! So payload shouldn't be an issue for the RSC2 but yeah, off center loads can come close to hitting that back of the gimbal if your lens is super heavy or if you are using the 24-105 on the telephoto side. I'm sure it will work, but if you start adding ND filters you will definitely be close to the balancing limits on the RSC2.

[@roykouyoumjian1]

Rsc2 Same as rs2 pro combo ?

[@edi18912]

I have a Ronin rs3 and im wanting to film with a more hand held look so I can make fast movements. What would the best settings for that?

[@learningcameras]

Go for the full follow mode and keep the speeds turned up

[@JonnyWert]

Hi Dan, do you think the Gimbal can carry the weight of a bmpcc4k with a Canon 24-70mm?

[@learningcameras]

Doubt it. Definitely would want the RS2 at least. It's not just the weight but also the balancing and the Black magic cameras are very difficult to balance on any gimbal because of the weight distribution

[@mitchellfilms]

I confused… great Vid again Dan, thanx! But how on earth can you operate the DJI with your mobile phone, without Raveneye?

[@learningcameras]

Force mobile works without the Raveneye so you can use that. You can also use a remote controller like an Xbox remote or virtual joysticks on your phone all through the DJI app without Raveneye. The raveneye is only needed to initiate automatic subject tracking and to see a real time feed from the camera on your phone

[@mitchellfilms]

@@learningcameras thanx Dan it’s an eye opener! Haha i was confused and i’m glad i watched your. Vid! Keep up the good work! Cheers Mitchell

[@BenPhanStudios]

Awesome review, thanks! Do you use auto focus with your Panasonic on the RSC2? I'm curious how that will work since their auto focus system isn't the best (I use the S5 and besides the auto focus it's perfect for me). Thanks!

[@learningcameras]

Panasonic is one of the only cameras I currently don't rely on the autofocus for. Usually I'll use autofocus to prefocus, lock focus, and then follow my subject at the same distance. With a smaller sensor, you have a bit more room with depth of field so I stop down a bit and just try and maintain the same distance to subject. With my other cameras I typically use autofocus

[@BenPhanStudios]

@@learningcameras makes sense, thanks brother! I'm interested in trying the focus motor system, since I prefer manual focus and I'm getting more into gimbal work. Love the channel, thanks for the great content!

[@learningcameras]

@@BenPhanStudios Appreciate that!!!
