[@PGFrames-uc6rp]

Hi Colin - Thank you for taking the time to create these videos. They are extremely helpful for a beginner like me who recently purchased the Pro Combo. DJI's tutorial videos are not the best. I've also experienced an issue where you can't attach the RavenEye when mounting the camera vertically. I tried attaching it to the camera's hot shoe, but it didn't feel very secure. Oh well, everything is going well so far. This setup is much better compared to the RS3 Mini, with which I struggled to get stable footage.

[@photoshopcafe]

Good point on the raven eye!

Thank you so much, You really helped me. I trying to get in video world with canon R6 + 28-70 F2. It was not easy to balans this heavy lenc ☺

The heavy lenses are more tricky for sure. With practice it gets easier

[@RodanCan]

i had so many problems with wobbling with my sony a7s iii and the 24-70 gm that i was really frustrated. i randomly watch this video and then see the lens support piece and think to myself: hmmm that could have been the problem. it was so easy and right in front of my eyes haha. thanks for the top video!

I watched at least 50 videos pertaining to the DJI Gimble but most of the honest You Tubers are now Capitalist Zombies or their ego outshines their videos. Your videos are very informative and easy to to follow. Thank You. I have a Black Magic 6K Pro and its bulky and difficult to balance at times on the RS 4

[@photoshopcafe]

@@selfwilliams1639thanks. the roll motor can be impossible to get a static balance sometimes, but it’s still balanced if it’s centered, if that helps?

[@OfficialDJTazer]

DJI are great at making material and camera material at that but when it comes to making a video explaining how to use said camera tool, they’re not a touch on you, thank you!

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks for the kind words

[@AllegoryHills]

Yes I agree, great video I needed! I got a little lost when taking out the wires. and moving them over to the focus wheel. I did it, but it doesn't make sense all the way. You can't use the Focus and the RSS at the same time. I don't how to word it so I'll explain it this way: Your first set up with all the wires allowed me to run it with my phone. The 2nd setup you took out a usbc wire and used it for the focus wheel. You can only do one at a time? Or is there a way to run Both setups at the same times. (good luck with understanding the question) lol

[@tomzhangus]

i'm still surprised there's no saved profiles for rs4 / rs4 pro... this is nuts.

[@dedgemusic]

Can we use active track with a monitor instead of the phone?

[@dedgemusic]

What voltage UCB-C adapter must be used? I hate the 30W I use for the DJI drone, is that too much/fast?

[@mesut4466]

can we use raven eye for both controlling iso aperture shutter and seeing the image? is there any limitations like the camera only outputs to hdmi and not the actual screen, when using that mode?

[@curtisclement]

Great process compared to what I’ve seen on past videos. If your using a lens that has a lens foot would you suggested mounting it on that foot instead of the camera? I’m using a Sony 28-135mm

[@photoshopcafe]

If that’s where your center of balance is and you have freedom of movement, you can try it. Although not an ideal gimbal lens, it might work. You’ll never use it at the longer settings. I usually use 17-28. But wanted to show you can set up a heavier lens

[@curtisclement]

@@photoshopcafe I managed to do it from the camera and it works great. Now to see if I can control the power zoom from the gimbal.

[@michaelgray8766]

Awesome video! What camera are you using to record this video. The picture quality is amazing!

[@photoshopcafe]

Sony a1

[@RSM2042]

If you want to use the electronic focus, then you have to disable bluetooth, which means you can't push the record button on the gimbal. is this correct? Thanks!

[@Ben24784]

Why when I assign the scroll button to change the ISO or shutter speed does it not do anything but works for focus?

[@XLence87]

When adding everything and trying to balance again the 3 axis don't stay in place in any position you place it in like when we first balanced it. Is this normal? Didn't see you do it at the end so I'm not sure.

[@cgiovanni5982]

The manual endpoint for dial zoom is not working for me

[@salehbaker9221]

when you set the camera on manual and the lens on auto foucs. can you add the dji foucs pro lidar to pull foucs on the same lens you are using without the need to use motor?

[@photoshopcafe]

Sorry, I don’t have the lidar, so I’m not sure how it works

[@timschiemann2625]

Hi great video. I built the setup exactly the same way and also calibrated the focus motor. In manual mode, the lights on the lidar and the motor are permanently red and I can focus using the gimbal wheel. However, when I switch to automatic mode, the lidar turns green and the motor turns yellow. Although I have already calibrated. What could be the problem? I look forward to your feedback. Gladly also from the community. Thank you BR Tim from Germany

[@photoshopcafe]

Hi, Unfortunately, I don't have the Lidar, so I don't know how to set that up.

[@thomastarner8683]

Would this gimble be a good match to use with a Nikon Z9 and or a Nikon D850 with a grip? I worried that these cameras might be too heavy.

[@photoshopcafe]

I’m not familiar with the weight of those cams, but RS Pro has a hefty payload, so I’d be surprised if your rig is too heavy. Check DJI website for compatibility

[@lawrenceanother9696]

Hi Colin, Another masterclass about gimbals. Well done! When you switch to vertical mode, it feels like there is no need to rebalance the gimbal. Is it correct ? I work with a SONY A7S3 + FE 16-35GM and I want to replace my RONIN SC with the RS4 or the RS4 pro - or even the RS3 mini. THANKS.

[@photoshopcafe]

It should be fine yes

[@lawrenceanother9696]

⁠​⁠@@photoshopcafe Thanks, but what about switching to vertical mode without another balancing ? 20:19

[@photoshopcafe]

@@lawrenceanother9696 you might want to re-test the roll motor, but the tilt and pan shouldn't change.

[@lawrenceanother9696]

Thank you so much, Colin.

[@RSM2042]

I have an fx3 with g master lens and rs4 pro. would you recommend electronic focus or manual focus, since both work. Thanks!

Depends if you need rack focus. Which is smoother?

Were you able to setup the M button to custom function with canon?

[@photoshopcafe]

Should be able to

[@photoshopcafe]

I have previously.

[@gmarmaduraexotics]

With the Sony a7iii it's not that easy, as you're limited to what you can do. Meaning it looks like you can have either one function working while the other is on reserve. If I connect to the transmitter it won't allow me to view via phone view via app. if I with wires around and settings via camera. You can't use the record Botton on the rs4 to record via gimbal

[@photoshopcafe]

I haven’t used A73 since RS2, so not sure how it works 2 versions later. However I was able to control all back then. Use the multi cable on that one

[@gmarmaduraexotics]

@@photoshopcafe Yes, I will be looking at that.

[@roadtoglorytv]

Hi, trying to connect to to gimbal using the usb-c cord but my pc remote option is dithered out in my fx3 can you help?

[@photoshopcafe]

Make sure it’s not set to mass storage and Bluetooth is off. I’ve never used an FX3 so I’m not sure what settings it has, but on my cams, it’s always another setting. I wish the Sony menus would tell you what setting is preventing it, or even better, give you the ability to override them.

[@jonathancohen2351]

I had a similar problem with my Canon R6ii. It would show the USB as disabled when plugged in, and it was enabled when unplugged. I decide to try switching to streaming and connecting to a laptop. That worked, and surprisingly, when I went back to the gimbal, that mysteriously worked also.

[@joseluislara7194]

I've been looking for a tutorial for a z6II, NOBODY has this setup. One thing im going to try is using IOS. The issue i keep running into is that i keep getting a disconnect issue from Bluetooth once i connect the raven eye. It doesn't allow both connections at the same time with my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra. So that may be something i need to change.

[@photoshopcafe]

Raveneye uses WiFi, you shouldn’t need Bluetooth at that point. You could connect the camera to the RSS on raveneye instead of the one on RS4 to let RE control camera

[@joseluislara7194]

@photoshopcafe yes, so you can do that. But once you do, you lose control of the gimbal and all the Bluetooth functions. All you're left with is a view of the camera display and nothing else. It's very frustrating, to say the least. Perhaps I'm also doing something wrong. Hopefully, I can get it figured out.
