Get HOLLYWOOD style footage with this GIMBAL! - Ronin-S Review!

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Do you use a gimbal? What's your jam?

[@thewolf3926]

Peter McKinnon yes i use gimbal for my youtube videos

[@ninjaasimen2345]

Yes love my zhiun crane ! :)

[@RaulOliveira]

Wish i could buy one :(

[@BenjaminFreddie]

Two handed gimbal errday 🙌

[@rugungboro3361]

Peter McKinnon yeah i use gimbal

[@-paulmp]

You make strolling through a multi level car park look far cooler than what it should... definitely selling my DJI Osmo+ to get the Ronin-S, thanks for showing us some awesome footage with it.

[@reedshepherd4855]

Wouldn't be where I am today with out your generosity to help teach in the creative world. Thanks Pete!

[@Weird_Quests]

Reed Shepherd so very true!!!

[@reedshepherd4855]

Bule British does it bring you lots of joy and self assurance to bring people down? KZbin isn’t my thing, but ask the 10 wedding clients that I have booked in the last 2 months after only having my camera for a year. Get over yourself.

[@HackingHollywood]

Hey some people wanna tear you down, but I want to build people up and keep the positivity flowing! Congrats on growing your channel! Hope it's going well for you! If you or someone you know ever dreamed on moving to hollywood, check out this interview I did with a Hollywood Vet Rav Holly! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6fLfZabaKiqebc

[@jadebrewerphotography9627]

This was definitely one of the best reviews I have seen for the Ronin S. You didn't just talk features, you showed really great practical examples. (I totally would have loved to see the jetski stuff too lol)

[@vegasrenie]

Jade Brewer Photography - I was hoping for the jetski footage too!

[@GY6vids]

Love the energy you have! I watch a lot of KZbin channels and I'm pretty aware of fake BS from hosts of channels...You sir seem to be a quality individual and it shows in your presentation and passion. Keep kicking ass, and I'll be watching...Not in a "From the bushes" way LOL 😆🤙🏼

[@junxiangkoh1794]

Didn't expect gy6 to be here ngl

[@MichaelJayValueInvesting]

That footage is smooth like butter

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Like melted hot butter on a baked potato smooth.

[@dylancrstha5121]

It's just like watching diff. between 60 & 30 fps vedio 😂

[@anshupandey3582]

Or smoother than that.

[@BYCWELL]

Smoothhhh like velvet!!

[@Dhanes71]

Even my butter is not as smooth as that footage

[@DNASHOW]

Just ordered mine! Can’t wait to put it to work!!!

[@porobiscuits2658]

Why am I watching this I don't even have a camera

[@everythingeveryday8764]

Poro Biscuits Same bro, but you can buy a gimbal for your phone... but they are costly if they are not chinese

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Because you are a savage and I appreciate it haha

[@shreyassalian3955]

IK EXACTLY WHY.... CAUZ OF PETER!! HIS PERSONALITY AND HOW HE ATTRACTS US BY HIS WORK AND TALK

[@PiginaCage]

SAME

[@afrawjoshe341]

I live in china..haha...cheaper gimbals

[@archanachand]

You know Peter, you are probably one of the few youtubers who has the power to grab viewers attention just by sitting at one place n talking n a bit of footage. I can listen to ur techniques even thou I am more in photography, for a longer time. Keep up with ur content n kindness. 😚

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Finally, a realistic review. I've used my Ronin S on two feature films. I have over 40 hours of experience with the Ronin S. Not the usual 2 hours MANY content creators have when posting their reviews online. Some of the complaints are really a result from not using the Ronin S enough. Gimbals are not created equal. They all have their own characteristics that must be understood and adapted to. The weight? I used mine for 14 hours straight, and I put it down on its tripod a couple times. Realistically, you'll get better with the Ronin S the more you use it. Which holds true for any gimbal or gear. There's a good reason the Ronin S is constantly selling out. I just saw a Ronin S review this morning where total disinformation was put forth by a pretty well known content creator for cameras and gear. I won't say who, because it's about the content of their video, not about them. They said that the follow focus feature DOES NOT work. They left out the fact that follow focus DOES work with the Panasonic GH5/GH5s, just not HIS camera. To leave out such information is dishonest and sloppy. DJI said compatibility with other cameras is coming. As would be expected from any NEW product. I know I sound a bit pissed. LOL. Well, I am. In the case of the Ronin S, I know from having real world experience that a lot of reviews for it are not realistic or fair. As I mentioned before, many reviewers of the Ronin S have spent very little time with it. Often a mere 2-4 hours. Which isn't a lot of time to become acquainted with almost any piece of equipment, like the Ronin S. I will try to find time to make my own review of the Ronin S. I think it's important to try out new gear in real world situations before passing judgment on its use and abilities. Cheers.

[@eganfuego]

Bro do a review. I'd watch it!

[@samtei9903]

Yes do a review man!

[@collinstebbins2598]

VFX Todd in addition to the gh5, the follow focus works great with Canon 5D4. Just have to remember to switch to manual focus on the lens. I originally thought it didn’t work.

[@EvilBadger4031]

As someone who has a GH5s and received my Ronin S a few hours ago, I appreciate your feedback.

[@VaughnLower]

I just ordered mine! rocking a 70d and 5d

[@TheMerlin24]

I look forward to buy this gimball for Christmas. That infinate Roll looks DOPE. Thanks for those handy tips and features Peter.

[@LordKnoppers]

I LOVE watching your videos with great sounding headphones. It's so much more immersive and helps me focus on your content 🤙

[@SpringtideMedia]

Remember everyone! Gimbals are only as good as their operators.

[@Nobody-vj7mj]

this much is true!

[@DerrickWeil]

Yes, if you want one you will just need to practice. I don't think it is that rare of a skill to be able to handle one to get better footage.

[@kevinvirtudazo8743]

indeed. i saw a video clip where the cameraman holds his camera stable with his barehands like a gimbal. what i amazed him more is when he go inside the car with his camera to get a great cinematic view, the video is awesome to be stabilized.

[@MatthewHyatt]

Operators are only as good as their KZbin instructors. Lol.

[@themarksmanABP]

@@MatthewHyatt class 😂😂😂

[@xochilgarcia232]

I don't usually write comments but thank you for being straight to the point and showing demos of exactly what I was looking to see. I appreciate you.

[@AlejandroPerezVlog]

That infinite roll option is awesome!!!

[@chocktalk]

This is exactly the type of reviews people need, tired of other people showing just one side of it

[@mbogilyricalofficial237]

Pete...what you do just brings light to every aspect of videography and the creative world.Thank you.

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Thanks for the compliment! very kind of you!

[@mbogilyricalofficial237]

You are welcome ,SIR.😊

[@kristoffer_med_k]

I agree!

[@fautil]

You're just great, sharing your experiences and knowledge !! Really one of a kind !! Thanks so much !! Another guy who I guess you know has tested some other gimbals and uses them to the fullest, I would say, IMHO : kzbin.info/door/3stPIuUoCDHG7COfwr0tEAvideos

[@jesuslopezjr2101]

I love watching your product videos because it creates ideas and allows us to see how you get your buttery smooth footage, but I also find myself putting off making videos because I fool myself into thinking that I need this to get the next great video. Either way, love these types of videos that allos us to see how we can improve in the future.

[@CronicGaming94]

That ronin is so sick. I need it.

[@gabeshimmin6624]

Just downloaded your Lightroom preset pack! Super excited.

[@katie_the_lady]

*SO HAPPY YOU MADE THIS* I’ve had so many questions about my Ronin and you’ve answered all of them 🙌🏽

[@shonza00]

Amazing! Another thing that was not mentioned at all which is one of the most useful features of this gimbal is the ability to preprogram the movements. It doesn´t matter if it´s a timelapse or not, the fact that you can replicate any movement of the camera with incredible precision is amazing if you want to replicate yourself in a panning shot or combine multiple different timelapses or anything basically. Enough of my blabbering, can´t wait to pick this thing up tomorrow!

[@megafiremario12volt]

You gave the most helpful advice without being too complicated. Thank you

[@gpvisualz1387]

I think Peter McKinnon is the only guy I know that can consistently keep me interested in his videos for 10+ min

[@XALIRATE]

George Perales 💯 Agree

[@anandsanil8623]

One word : awesome; am really blown away by your work.

[@Levi_Allen]

With all those running shots Peter, I feel like you’re low key training for your own #RunWithNeistat 🏃🏽😆

[@ohjustrob]

Only good part about vacation: I come back to see new videos from Peter!!!

[@hanifhalimi]

Dear Santa...

[@mikemiville3009]

Just got my Ronin-S the other week and it's AMAZING! Thanks for the tip with the roll though! Couldn't find that myself. Keep on rocking' Peter and thanks for all that you are doing for the community!

[@lupinearsenalALT]

bless for testing in 24 fps instead of 120 fps c:

[@ubtcreatives2695]

I just watch your videos ONLY for vanishing even the biggest anxieties of life.. Just a Great Teacher and superb ALL IN ONE PERSONALITY. Regardless of the fact that i do also make some content but it has no such thing to do with "cinematography" , but still I just find you an outstanding amazing and awesome person just because of your "BUTTERY" artwork.

[@DancersGlobal]

That camera roll though! That feature alone makes me want to switch from the Zhiyun Crane V2 to the Ronin-S...dope review sir!

[@astrid2577]

Dancersglobal same

[@TheAphtar]

keep in mind the ronin s is double the weight of the crane v2 4lb vs 2lb. as a traveler its a pretty big dealbreaker. Its kind of disappointing to me that they just made a 1 handed ronin M with some new features. we need a dji gimbal for smaller dslrs, not something to hold a Red. But maybe thats the market theyre going for.

[@ryanvincent6519]

These were made for DSLR and larger cameras not mirrorless. There are too many gimbals for mirrorless out there especially for sony fanboys.

[@maxmayonyoutube]

I have the Crane v2 and you can roll the camera?!

[@tylerpryor67]

Just got mine in the mail today! Anxiously waiting for the battery to charge! lol Thanks for the review Peter, and as always awesome B-Roll man!

[@evanberard4198]

Can you please do a"What's up everybody" with a mouth full of liquid. That would be great thanks

[@2officialentertainment]

Peter hands down you've got the pans on lock! Love the channel dude, I've even scaled back to some old vids lol

[@TechRadicalTv]

Peter McKinnon How are you bro, all good.

[@shawnandmavis]

FINALLY PETER!! We’ve been waiting for this video. Still at work, added to watch later, will watch it first thing after I get home.

[@MeAndMyOpinions_OverYours]

"I cant afford a gimbal" , types it with a +$700 smart phone. Lol

[@memangkoksi4904]

Weird flex... But, ok..

[@LubuulwaChrisFitness]

😅

[@aaronholly3128]

I always enjoy your videos Peter. Easy to follow, and you have such a genuine delivery and passion for the content. Thank you for being you.

[@KSoul]

Literally dropped everything to watch this video...hope my camera still works. Lol

[@doctorsangeeth]

Peter, that stunning car park piece was fantabulous

[@expiai]

I see you flexing those yeezys I see you 👀

[@JohnsGuineaPigs]

Peter hypebeast McKinnon

[@matsbartram7642]

Feaker, The Creature they suit him well though!

[@expiai]

Damn straight, got my own pair of beluga 2.0s and they dont suit me hence why I never wear them but those really suit him!

[@scottrowe533]

Beautifully executed comparison examples, Peter. They really showcase the usefulness of this gimbal tool, and buttery quality of the footage produced with it. I love no-BS, real-world product demos and this one is professionally done and very convincing. Thanx

[@AlexHussein]

LOVED the video! I learn so much, as a filmmaker, from this channel and I couldn’t thank Peter enough! Do you guys think the Robin S is better than all the Zhiyun cranes? I’m currently using a Zhiyun Crane but I might switch. Again, thank you Peter so much for all these videos. Because of you I have a photography/videography business, I’ve worked with the Big Baller Brand (Lavar Ball) and Otto Porter (an NBA player) and I’m almost at 500 subscribers on this channel I started 3 months ago! THANK YOU PETER!!!

[@_axelsamuelsson]

Alex Hussein IF you buy the Ronin S you will se constant software updates and hardware for example a car mount and maybe a drone so you can mount the gimbal head on it.

[@AlexHussein]

Axel Samuelsson I see! Do you own one right now?

[@_axelsamuelsson]

Alex Hussein Sadly not, but I’m thinking of buying. I want to buy it but it also depends on the specs on the Fujifilm XT-3.

[@AlexHussein]

Axel Samuelsson nice, let me know how it is. I’m going to look at a lot of videos!

[@_axelsamuelsson]

Alex Hussein Yeah do so, subscribe to my channel I’m releasing my first edit from iscghl this winter. Great videos bro!

[@DrBiohack]

I started learning Adobe suite/photography/media esq things in may (coming from a science only background) and I can honestly say your channel taught me everything I've learned .... better than any professor I've ever encountered for sure haha😁👌 thanks so much

[@NickJamesonASMR]

I ask myself EVERYTIME I watch one of your videos; How is it possible for you to do these epic videos with a lengh of >10min. in auch a short time😳

[@JeremyHalterman]

I can’t hear that Eisenhower clip without thinking of “Love like Rockets” by AVA. Can’t wait for that doc!

[@BudionoSukses]

yoooo whats up Peter McKinnon..

*Bwhats up

[@SteveSmith74]

So dope bro! Been waiting on mine for a month and a half on backorder. Thanks for feeding the need for absolutely BA footage!

Dude, you can make everything look professional 😄😅

[@ViciousFalcon]

I really like how you're always enthusiastic in all your videos, it what makes you unique in my opinion. Great video as always☺️

hello, Peter we are watching from KENYA. You should visit KENYA again.

Hello, Agus Dwi Yudha. nice meeting you here.

[@MacLeanComms]

Superb, just got the Ronin S and can’t wait to give it a test run. Thanks Peter thing like the setting for the 360 roll is really useful.

[@SreekantShenoy]

Next Bollywood style 😆😙

[@clawe6379]

After shooting at my first couple of events and easily experienced jitter, i definitely in a near future need one!

[@BharathRaj]

Peter, I just joined a college and I'm watching this at 144p. I feel like I'm not doing justice to your videos.

[@sutanega6822]

i feel bad :(

[@usercantbeblank]

I'm waiting for mine to load at 480p then I'll play

[@charliemartin7266]

just wait the 2 years for the whole video to load in 1080 lol

[@beatthis3873]

Are you all guys living in 90s

[@argwohn]

They are just living in a shithole country.

[@NaveenRawat]

Hey Peter! We actually wanna to se your gimbal operator, how he was operating it when you're running or moving, you must include those footage as well to make it much more clear tutorial.

[@MaxDiamond]

Gimbal is buttery just like those yeezys!! 🔥🔥

[@joshualapres8304]

Quarantine got me learning videography by taking youtube crash courses lol. Thanks Pete! Timeless videos!

[@MadisonBeach]

Great video, nothing like unstable footage making you want to click away. Could you do a video on the best equipment for those on a tighter budget? :)

[@imiy]

Madison B nah, bad audio is even worse

[@MadisonBeach]

Agreed, but shaky footage is still unnecessary

[@SirSnoozebutton]

FeiyuTech A1000 is a good option if your camera+lens is within it's max weight limit of 3.7lbs. Obviously it's not as good as the Ronin-S but it has many of the same features and cost less than half of it at 320$. Probably one of the better gimbal options if you're on a budget

[@MadisonBeach]

Thank you!

[@danielbyrd9673]

Watching this video on a road trip! Love your stuff Pete.

[@TarekAlShawwa]

Imagine a using this with a panasonic gh5, and a stabilized lens You get In body stabilization Lens stabilization Gibal stabilization And to make you footage even smoother you can shoot at high frame rates and do slo mo and even add warp stabilizer in post if you want but it would probably be unnecessary and make.little to no difference but still, all methods of stabilization combined would be phenomenal

[@CSGPhotos]

Tarek Al-Shawwa if it is like the DJI Osmo, you have to turn off the camera stabilization, or the two will counteract with each other and make your film jittery.

[@ShawnCHeron]

I use it with a Sony a7iii with in body stabilization and it smooths it out more so than with it off.

[@BlownMacTruck]

The gimbal acts functionally as a tripod. You rarely want camera stabilization on in those situations.

[@JosephWilsonProductions]

Thanks for your honesty... I am stoked I finally got one. New videos soon.. Cheers. ☕

[@fatimahs7243]

It will be great if do some comparison with the Ronin-m 😫♥️♥️♥️♥️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻I’m so confused between them

[@mikeprovolone2249]

Another great video. Love that you're back in your home studio.

[@mimng1199]

Why not try mounting a gimbal on another gimbal. Who knows you might get much more smoother footage.

[@aaronprimus1300]

Yh, it's big brain time

[@redhaali6847]

Finally I have been waiting so long for this video

[@inezEG]

Anyone else feel like he spat coffee on you after that awesome B-roll intro? "Pwats💦 up everyone!"

[@riturikideb653]

Sir , You are really the B-Roll king. Speechless!!

[@riturikideb653]

Sir! I am from India. You are great ....your B-roll with music is spot-on. I like your work very much. Sir! Please suggest me a good camera (I you have free time) for vlogging...any camera because I have a very tight budget.

[@SuketuPatel]

I need infinite roll ASAP

[@PeterMcKinnon]

its THE BEST AHHHHHHHH I need to make sure not top use it every 7 minutes.

[@imiy]

$421 Moza AirCross does it

[@SuketuPatel]

Haha, I would use it 24/7. Also, your video with Cody inspired me so much! Creating SO MUCH CONTENT. Thank you!

[@michaelfrymus]

Thats the problem I see. Everyone will now want to use it. but HOW does adding a roll improve on your video? There are times where I wish I had it, but those times are very rare. Maybe once or twice that I was shooting I wish I had it.

[@ArunRajOnline]

Just add a rotation animation in the post for time being..

[@VissGamer]

Man i have been using a glidecam for a while and almost despised using motorized gimbals but after seeing this it has changed my mind, might have to pick one up

[@ekphotography]

I predict that youtube is going to be swamped with roll videos from here on out. This is already overdone with bigger cameras like the arri with a Trinity head, but now it will be over done with vloggers..🤦🏻‍♂️

[@gaga437]

ekphotography yep

[@Catholicweddingvideo]

oh for sure, but then we'll get tired of it and we'll go back to old moves that will become popular again! It's all a big cycle haha

[@Dakota-Rose]

I’m not even planning on making footage on this level but Peter is so awesome and the videos are aesthetically pleasing. So I watch and enjoy! And learn too in case I do want to step up my game.

[@ZTalks]

Sir, Kerala (place in india), is facing huge flood now. Can you please stand with us, Can you please talk about us in your channel. It can help many.

[@TripModeActive]

mallsu everywhere !!!!! i am reading this comment after 2 years

[@dawsonperkins3483]

These b-roll sequences. You need to do a tutorial on just how you make your b-roll sequences, like, we get the basics, but for whatever reason, I cannot get anything to look as dope as what you make. You are awesome dude, solid job.

[@techexamined]

Hey @petermckinnon million dollar question... Do you think this can replace say a Ronin M for someone like me who does mostly YT and some outside client work?

[@ondrejimrysek8985]

Michael T Panetta Same question from me.

[@NoahWilcoxDP]

What camera are you using? I really think this is a great replacement for the Ronin M. It's a lot quicker/easier to set up and balance. It's a lot more mobile. It's got some great features like the Focus wheel, and the ability to power your camera. If you compare side by side, I don't think the Ronin M has anything unique to offer vs Ronin S

[@techexamined]

Noah Wilcox Films I am currently using the A7 RII with usually a Sony 24-70mm or the Sigma 18-35 with the sigma adapter..

[@NoahWilcoxDP]

I use the same lenses. Peter said he got a 16-35mm in this vid. Definitely would say that the Ronin-S would be a good replacement for YT and Client work.

[@techexamined]

Noah Wilcox Films perfect!!! Thanks.. now to sell my Ronin M.. lol

[@marcmcleanphoto]

watched this video and another 4 ronin s related, then decided to buy one, it's a beast love it

[@isaiditsp]

Your videos are so satisfying to watch. Much love 💕

[@pf4773]

Great video reminding us of the importance of gimbals when shooting videos! As an international traveler and only an enthusiast, not a pro, size matters to me. I can't bring the bigger gimbals with me when I travel, because when I travel I like to bring clothes, save room for gifts/souvenirs in my luggage that large camera gear stops me from doing. For those who just want to bring a cell I strongly recommend such gimbals as the Z smooth X with an expandable selfie stick; for those with a small point and shoot, such as the Sony X1000 series cameras, the Crane M2, and, in my case, the Weebill S for the smaller size Sony A6600 camera I use. Thanks, Peter for generating this discussion:)

[@jacobjohnson9810]

Yo Pete walking like he's on the catwalk haha! Such a great juxtaposition, thanks man!

[@jkenlive]

The gimbal is definitely an improvement. Especially with the walking/running shots. Cool info.

[@RacingPepe]

Thank you so much for letting us know about this product. It's exactly, like EXACTLY, what I needed without carrying the heavy and huge Ronin. It's actually not even out yet here in Europe but I have pre-ordered it. Very excited to start working with better footage and learn more about filming.

[@ishinderohan]

Just loved that initial smile while starting the video 😀

[@MagnumVideos]

Great tutorial, Peter. Nicely done.

[@vargasmarcia]

Hey Peter, awesome video like all you do. Is the gimbal for any camera body, like the common Canon’s DSLRs?

[@IansLifeInChina]

i always say videos arnt long if you can keep em engaged which you nailed pete still working on that in my videos but love the tips you share

[@DirectorsGarage]

Peter, check out the Pilotfly gimbal with 5-axis stabilization. The difference is -- you can still see where your cameraman is taking a step (his foot hits the ground) with the Ronin-S. When you add the 4th and 5th axis, it becomes as close to a SteadiCam as... a SteadiCam.

[@MikeFigueiredo]

Def looks like a great tool to have! Makes everything like butter

[@paulpan6842]

Really good to hear you like our Ronin-S. Keep making great content!

[@davidwallsphotography502]

hey pete. just got my ronin s in the mail and it is dope. Had the first zhyun crane and it is night and day the build quality in this gimbal. thanks for the infinite roll tip i couldn't figure it out.

[@zigmarillion2.081]

Buttery smooth! Wonder what would be more smooth than butter... super conductor smooth!😉 Great breakdown btw!👍👍

[@aaronlangworthy3047]

Thanks so much for making videos that are both informational and enjoyable to watch and that I can watch with my kids! Just love your videos. I never comment on youtube but I just wanted to tell you thanks so much!
