Mounting Monitor & Nucleus Nano II on DJI RS4 Gimbal

[@Voltzmann1]

You can set the Ninja V to be recording while yoy are triggering the REC button on the Nucleus Nano (or RS4) Just set up the correct settings under the FX3s Timecode menus and external monitor. The Ninja V also need to have the "Trigger from HDMI source" enabled under the input menu.

@@Voltzmann1 I actually did try this and I couldn’t get all of the systems to play together and actually trigger. But it’s possible I had a setting wrong. I’ve triggered recording on the ninja with the FX3 record button many times, but making it all start from the Nucleus Nano, I couldn’t get it to happen. Show me your ways haha

I have tried balancing a front heavy setup with the RS 4 and vertically it is just not possible. Also, the rod being on top in your setup might help with lenses overall. Great video!

[@chadwin]

Oh really? What lenses were you trying to use? I haven’t tried my 70-200m lens yet, but I think even that will work. I’ve seen a lot of guys add counterweights. Yeah, having the rod on top is a clean way to do it for sure.

@chadwin I have tried the XT3 with a Fringer adapter and the 70-200mm G2 with counterweights and I failed. Maybe it is also due to the front heavy aspect of the setup. Also, trying with the battery grip initiated new problems. The clearance issue of the RS 4 did the gimbal wrong as the motors are quite capable overall. I would love to know if you can successfully balance your 70-200mm. I am pretty sure it can be done with a heavier camera.

[@chadwin]

@ of that makes more sense now, your camera is pretty lightweight. I’ll let you know if I end up balancing my 70-200mm.
