How To Set Up DJI RAVENEYE on the DJI RS2

[@MisterCharles]

I just bought the RS3 Pro and I scoured the earth for solutions to how to get Raven Eye to work with my A7r3 and the consensus from every "professional" in the game was that my camera model is outdated for 2023 and that I should just upgrade to a Sony S3 or a Sony A1... Now just came across this video and it save me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!! What's your patreon???? I need to donate something to your channel!!!

[@PhillipSkraba]

The RS3 Pro is an excellent gimbal. Outdated?! I love my A7R3!! I have the A7S3 and now the ZV-E1, but I'm really fond of my A7R3 and use it every single day, being able to punch into crop mode in 4k is just a life saver! No need at all, I'm glad I could help, that makes my day.

[@charlygoehl8874]

Watching your Video BEFORE trying for 2+ hours to connect my brand-new RS2 Pro Combo with my Alpha III / iPhone would have made sense. THANK YOU Phillip. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for !! Charly from Germany

[@PhillipSkraba]

You're welcome Charly, I'm happy it came in handy! All the best from Poland.

[@baconcrusader8382]

That RSS port on the RE was messing with me for quite some time. Plumbed the rig as you stated in this video and everything works as promised! Which is a rarity given I'm running a Nikon Z6ii. But I have full exposure control , as well as being able to record through a Ninja V tethered [I have the expansion kit]. Everything is powered through a Smallrig 50Wh battery and I couldn't be happier.

[@milchi_ruhe]

It finally kind of works thanks to you. I‘ve still got one problem: when I press „record“ on any of de devices (the AIII, the RS2 or the Smartphone), the screen turns grey. It‘s recording, but I can‘t see it… Do you have any Idea how to fix this?

[@jomilnazario7947]

I was breaking my head try to figure this out , you were super simple with your demonstation and down to the point.

[@bensummerfield1327]

Hey Phillip, thank you - that's really helpful. Can you tell me though - am I missing something... When using Sony 'multi', you have no control over focus. You can't even prompt the camera to focus with a half-press? Raveneye also does not change the focus area? Which means you have to set the camera to AFC and wide and hope for the best? is there a better way?

[@Slayin101]

I KNEW I wasn't going crazy! The USB C cable setup DOES have an issue with displaying to the phone! I hope DJI fixes this ASAP along with allowing usage of both the MULTI Cable and the USB C cable at the same time so we can get ALL functionality. Thank you so much for making this, I hope you sent it to DJI so they can get to fixing!

[@PhillipSkraba]

I'm not sure DJI have seen this video, but I'm sure they know this is a problem. If you look at the compatibility chart, you'll see that all Sony cameras only use the Sony multi cable, which is funny, because with the Ronin S it was the usb-c that worked better. I'm sure they'll keep updating, it's an excellent gimbal with so many fantastic features I'm certain we'll get more options in the future.

Any ideas on how to get Raven Eye feed to OBS as a video capture device?

[@PhillipSkraba]

I've actually been looking into that and no options at the moment.

[@zachmiller1571]

​@@PhillipSkraba So check this out! Its not a wireless solution but I couldn't even get a feed at all from my EOS R5 to obs when using the Raven Eye. I found out if you get this HDMI splitter (I linked it below) you can plug the camera into the middle port, then the Raven Eye and OBS input into the other two. I think we'll have to wait for DJI to release some update for wireless. My DJI drone has support for custom rtmp streaming to OBS so I don't see why they couldn't with this. We can only hope!

Hi Phil, At 9:16 you show the various LUTs you have available on mobile device. One of those LUTs is the Fujifilm F-Log.cube. Does this mean that you also have a FujiFilm camera? If yes, what camera do you have and have you tested it with RS 2 and RavenEye?

Hi Donald, those are actually built into the app. I'm afraid I'm Sony all the way when it comes to my mirrorless.

[@donaldbarar6877]

@@PhillipSkraba Hi Phil, Thanks for the quick reply. I took the plunge, fingers crossed, that an RS 2 would work with a FujiFilm X-T3. I can report that it all works as expected. The only issue that I ran into was an error message from the X-T3 stating that 4k was incompatible with the connected device--RavenEye. But this was resolved when I changed the HDMI output from the X-T3 to the RavenEye to 1080P. Don Barar

[@PhillipSkraba]

[@burhankunda_]

With Raveneye and Sony a7iii can we see camera screen as well as smartphone together when press record ?

[@PhillipSkraba]

I'm afraid not, that's the a7iii though. You connect a HDMI to it and you'll see everything until you press REC, then it'll go black.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I like filling my shelves with gear till they buckle under the pressure. Then I buy more shelves. The Sony a7siii and I think the a1 both now have that feature, but to tell you the truth I’ve learnt to live without it.

[@OliverEitel]

Hi Phillip. Thx for the great tutorial! I have the Sony FX3, which is not a big difference in terms of setting it up. It all works, but the image transmission to the iPhone lags. What is a really pity, since then the gimbal also struggels to use the active track smooth. Have you experienced this before?

[@PhillipSkraba]

I have never had that problem, no. The only two things that come to mind are leaving bluetooth on, I think for it to be super smooth it should be turned off, and the other thing is the phone itself, is it a new phone, have you got 99% memory taken up by photos? The FX3 and the gimbal itself should be fine, so I'd try a different phone just to cross that off the list.

[@dhagenow92]

Great video! Quick question - with a autofocus lens, can you simply tap anywhere in the app and will the camera autofocus to the spot you tapped to? Making it simple to autofocus on whatever area you touch?

Yes, it's the same problem. It's all down to Sony I'm afraid, DJI has done a fine job.

[@PedroDeltellColomer]

I suppose face detection is not working in the a7 III... ???

[@PhillipSkraba]

Whenever you connect a cable to the hdmi output on the Sony A7III you'll loose face detection I'm afraid.

[@daltonrandall4348]

Do you have to use RSS to use Raveneye? I have a camera that doesn't have the "multi" output, but the Raveneye is connected to the gimbal and the HDMI out from the camera is connected to the Raveneye. I can't get this thing to work for the life of me.

[@JK-qv8oq]

Thanks! Can this film 4K to the camera while showing the live view on the phone? And does it leave the camera display on instead of switching to black?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Sure it can. On the A7III it'll go black on the camera screen I'm afraid.

[@mshatiproductions]

Is there a way to transmit the signal to a TV or monitor? Zhiyun has a receiver module that you can plug into anything, do you know if we have the same option with DJI?

[@PhillipSkraba]

I’ve tried looping it, I’m afraid it doesn’t work on any of my loop transmitter options. Phone mirroring maybe??

Thanks. This is a good video for me as I am considering buying a DJI RSC2 and I have an Sony A7iii. The DJI website doesn't list Sony A7iii in the list of compatible cameras. So, is this a hack? If it works, why DJI doesn't think its compatible? Also, are you able to use Active track without issues with this combination? And any features that'll not be available for the A7iii? Lastly, the cables that you mentioned, do they come along with the combo pack or will need to be bought separately?

[@PhillipSkraba]

It should work, I use this with my A7III with no problems at all, the RSC 2 should work too. It should be listed as a compatible camera - Sony ILCE-7M3. Everything you need comes with the combo pack, sure.

Thanks so much for replying

[@eyedo1376]

Hello Phillip! I would like you to answer me a huge question please! As I see on your video you have the RS2 Pro Combo that includes the Dji Focus Motor... Did you try to use this focus motor to control the zoom ring of the Sony 24-70 f/2.8 GM lens? I ask you this question because as we all know, this lens have a bit stiff zoom ring and needs more power to rotate, in relation to the zoom rings of other lenses.

[@PhillipSkraba]

I haven't no, anytime I try this with any of the electronic focus motors they really struggle, mind you this one seems super strong. The only focus motor that has no problem is the one Edelkrone makes, that's just a monster. I'll give it a go though, see if it can handle that ring, if it can, I'll include it in my video as I'm working on one for the focus motor.

What cable are you using to connect it, same as I have here?

How do you connect the RSS or take pictures with your phone, I need to release the shutter while doing real estate photography?

The way I’ve shown in this video is the way you do it. You’ll be set up to take photos and videos.

[@KarsonsChannel]

Hey Phillip, is there a lock mode on the RS2 like the zhiyun crane 2? For keeping it straight when walking down long hallways?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Sure, you have the custom mode where you can choose which motors to lock. You can set that to custom mode and you'll have the pan locked, you can lock any motors you wish to keep it straight.

Does your CAMERA screen also go black once you hit record? With the RavenEye connected of course

[@gzils]

Sorry, I edited because I wanted to make clear, once you plug the hdmi and hit record the camera screen will always go black, and I wonder if that is a A7iii issue.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I totally understand, the A7III doesn't like being connected to a hdmi port and recording at the same time, it's got quite a few issues when it comes to things like that, just like the usb-c connection, the screen goes blank I'm afraid.

[@DanielChohfi1]

I’m having the same issue here...

[@PhillipSkraba]

@@gzils Hi guys, so yes, just tested it as I felt I was going mad, the Sony screen goes black on the A7III and A7RIII, tested both of them. So just like when you connect it to a monitor, the screen will go black when you press record and face detection will also stop working. I guess that's why they add the phone holder to the Pro Combo kit so you can monitor the feed on the phone, but then what is the focus puller looking at if you need such an option...

Check if you have CTRL for HDMI turned on and make sure you're using the Sony Multi cable. It should work if you have CTRL with smartphone turned OFF and USB turned to remote. Let me know if you get it working.

Thanks a lot Phillip, Much appreciated

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

I purchased the RSC 2 pro kit last week. I hunted thru all the cables and it seems there's one missing to complete a Raveneye setup using the z7. I need a USB C to USB C, a longer one. The short one with the angled connection is already used to get to power to the Raveneye. Have other z7/z6 users encountered this?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Oh no way, what a shame! I hope they send you one over free of charge!

[@joekelley4549]

New subscriber your video was helpful, my question is about the focus motor that comes with the raveneye. I cannot set the hard stops for my lens and it pulls the lens physically up when it reaches the end of the range for the lens. Is there a calibration option to set the hard stops that I am missing?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Hi Joe. So, I have the same problem, and I wanted to do a video on how to setup your follow focus, but not being able to calibrate the front wheel is a pain as like you said it just pulls the lens physically and tries to destroy my camera. Hopefully they'll update this, it's super annoying. With the focus wheel, so that silly contraption that was on the Ronin S, you CAN calibrate a mechanical lens with hard stops, and not only that, you can set A and B stops! With the front wheel this is what DJI write - "The motor does not require calibrating when the front dial is used to control the focus motor." So that's odd, hopefully something we'll see fixed when the 3D focus is finally on sale. If you get to the bottom of this, let me know, if not, I'll drop a video as soon as I get this working. I really appreciate the sub!

[@joekelley4549]

Phillip, I used the raveneye to connect my Canon 5d iv w/a 24-70 f2.8 ii. You can adjust the ISO, aperture and shutter-speed using the app. Double tap the screen and the settings will show up.

[@PhillipSkraba]

Really? I'll give that a try, on this update that wasn't a possibility.

Hey Phillip ! 1. Thanks for this tutorial :) , I have nearly the exact same setup, 2. I am not able to get the raveneye to broadcast wifi, the raveneye stays red, do you have any troubleshooting advice ? I followed the Power on sequence and double checked my cables (tried other replacements too). I see the "Connecting USB" message pop up on the A73 but I do not see the raveneye turn blue, and I am unable to connect to the raveneye. Thanks !

[@talizhakniya9469]

Hey Philip! I'm using the RS2 and RavenEye with the Bmpcc6k. Took me a while to realize which cable goes where (only power and hdmi, because I don't think I can control my bmpcc6k with the gimbal), But more surprisingly, when trying to connect the RavenEye, the app actually tells you it's gonna disconnect the gimbal from the app, and leaves you only with the screen. Not that it's a problem, but I don't reallt get it and feels like i'm missing something. Also, they recommend disabling the Cellular Data and Bluetooth to avoid interruptions. What do you think?

[@PhillipSkraba]

Hi Tal! So you have the cables in the right places, I like I showed in this video, right? Camera control is over rated haha, ignore it till they get it working correctly. So, you connect to RavenEye and you have no image? Have you set your hdmi out to auto on the BM?

[@talizhakniya9469]

@@PhillipSkraba I have an image! I just don't get this message that says it's disconnecting the gimbal in order to connect to raven eye. Also, I was very disappointed hearing from DJI we can't change the direction of the focus pulling with the built-in dial, but only with the additional focus wheel. The whole point is how nice it is to pull focus for yourself right where the built in dial is. Well, you don't have these troubles with the Sony AF I guess..

[@PhillipSkraba]

That is odd then. Sony AF is out of this world, but I also have a huge collection of vintage lenses, so I'm waiting for the 3D focus module, and I hope they drop an update so we can change the direction of the wheel!

Im using the A7c which is very similar. My issue is that raveneye and camera control both work until I hit the record button. Then the phone goes black, so I lose my active track. 😔

Yes, I've heard this. Try hdmi auto in the camera settings, proxy needs to be off, and I think bluetooth off on the phone. I'm still not sure what causes this though, worth a try.

[@margotvervust8362]

Hi Phillip, great video! Followed all the steps you mentioned, yet I'm still having issues with the raveneye: when I connect the raveneye to the app, it disconnects the gimbal and I can't use the force control, joystick or tracking. The app tells me that it will disconnect the gimbal when connecting to the raveneye. I'm using the Sony A7III (with the settings that you've mentioned in the video), all the correct cables are connected properly and I am getting a video transmission on the app. Does anyone know how ti fix this?

Loop out is a 2nd hdmi connection, so you input the signal from your camera into the monitor and via the 2nd connection loop out the signal to another monitor or wireless device such as the RavenEye. I'll have to check it that works though.

If you try to loop out it turns the screen black on the iPhone, just like it does when I connect the usb-c to usb-c cable instead of the Sony Multi. So, the short answer is no, won't work with an external monitor.
