Is the Ronin sc a good gimbal for the Sony a6400?

[@dadsonanand5820]

Hey, man.. will u choose weebil s over crane 2??

[@indiainmotion]

Isn't the plate on the Ronin-SC Arca Swiss? I saw it in some other video. Some of us with lighter tripods have Arca Swiss clamps and it is perfect for us.

[@MaksimYuryev]

Yup you are right!

[@chosenideahandle]

India In Motion I’m not looking forward to replacing the mini Arca plate I’m using now, with that long ass plate from DJI.

[@rrafaelpaz]

That’s why I’m subscribed to you mate. You’re honest and your reviews are great unlike those other KZbinrs who always lie about sponsors. Hate that!

[@joshuavega4563]

wow! the very comparison Ive been looking for. Always the best from max. Very reliable!

[@ricrawlins594]

Love my Crane 3. It's chunky but feels great! Thanks for the unsponsored review anyway, always a good thing in this day and age!

[@chairminh]

It was sponsored

[@maruwaanmoses]

Max you're a legend! Thanks for this review. I have the Crane 2 and wanted the SC for travel. Having watched this, it's not much lighter. So won't fix my weight reduction issue. Thanks mate

[@MaksimYuryev]

Thanks for watching!

[@SePark]

Interesting comparison Max. I compared it to the Weebill Lab as its competitor, but really good point about the OLED display. I always enjoy your videos man!! 👍👍

[@CHATOPRESIDENTE]

Really appreciate your honest reviews bro. Thanks!!

[@time2make]

Is it possible to install the camera backwards? That the motor was in front under the lens.

[@mribi]

Crane 2 Firmware 1.77 is out and adds a better POV mode and the 360 degree barrel roll modes.

[@jeremyquan9201]

wait it can spin now?

[@AayBee]

Like SC make a spin it Crane can do it too now ????

[@pettypoh]

thanks max for good comparison. by the way, for the ronin sc, are you able to use underslung mode easily? i think the crane 2 can easily change to underslung mode

[@TechSpaceYT]

Good comparisson, but I think the Ronin SC performs better. It's most noticable while making the Parralax effect. :)

[@ninjonaah]

Hello Max, how do you think the Ronin-SC would handle an A6500 with the 18-135mm lens? The body is smaller, but I'm still concerned because the lens would make it more front heavy. Should I just go for a gimbal that can handle a larger payload?

[@webvidpromo]

Hi Max, great video thanks. I was just about to get the Ronin Sc, but this gave me pause for thought. One question, have you tried the Tamron 17-28 on the Ronin yet, and if so how was it please.

[@SkivaMotovlog]

When Max posts you know you will be getting a real review. Thanks for making such great videos, Max!

[@NigelAquascaping]

I'm thinking about to use Canon 200d + canon 10-18mm + dji ronin sc for aquarium rooms and events. Thoughts? 😊

[@TheCameraManReviews]

The Ronin SC doesn't return to centre after panning or tilting has anyone else noticed? always off by about 1 or 2 degrees.

[@RyanWitherspoon]

Man thank you for this video I literally looked at your video right before I pushed the purchase button for the ronin sc I have the A7iii with the 24-70 g master lens knowing that it’s to heavy to balance saved me a lot of headaches I guess I’ll stick with my Ronin S for now I really wanted to use that active track hope they update the Ronin s to use that feature

[@pawelsaracen]

Max - a lot of people advertise tracking mode as one does not need an operator any more but is it possible to track yourself with Ronin SC (with phone app of course ) while one is alone? I mean how one would turn that feature on if the phone camera is on the other side? Is it possible to use front camera on eg iPhone? (So one can see himself while setting object to track)

[@ryanh5883]

What kind of ND Filter do you use? ND32 or ND64 ? THX.

[@bobsyour04]

Has anybody tried a counter weight for the tamron 28-75mm to move the balance point further out and create clearance at the back? I had a look on amazon and smallrig have something but it sticks out at the back so not sure it will work....?

[@apmodelschoolgudupalli4471]

Sir which camera & lens u r using this video making

[@Flo-con]

about the balancing issues, Smallrig sell counterweight-bearing replacement plates.

[@rockjano]

the best is the Moza 2 probably altough quite heavier, the box is very clever though...

[@speakuscorner]

Can I fit a Sony ZV-E10 on the Ronin SC gimbal? I’m just starting out using both a gimbal for stabilisation & a camera, so I’ve been looking to by a used gimbal at an affordable price & came across the Ronin SC. Any suggestions will be very helpful, I picked up a Zhiyun smooth 5 new for the mobile phone, as I couldn’t seem to find a gimbal that would double for both camera & phone? Buying 2 gimbals at this point new was out of my budget range, so I spread the cost between a new & used one.

[@flashnc]

Hi.. Nice Review !! The SC work fine with Panasonic FZ2000 ? Thnks for help

[@Unknown-nb1yz]

Does DJI RONIN SC have any paning problem?? Or any problem while we have seen in DJI RONIN S paning problem?

[@12345stronger]

Now I am glad I have the Ronin-S instead of the SC. As you said there is a noticeable jitter. I would only like that DJI would add Active Track and Force Mobile to the Ronin-S via and Update.

[@johnhazel9986]

Thankyou for alerting me to the "activate on line" requirement. That's a deal breaker for me.

[@TomekNasternak]

You are reading in my mind... Got Crane 2 and was looking at SC for my Fuji X-T3... but meh its not so much lighter but capacity diff is hudge for future cams and lenses.

[@MegaLeonidovich]

Good review, but i still love my Ronin S because the heavier the more stable up and down motions vs light gimbal/camera setup you notice more up and down motions like i notice with my Osmo pocket

[@MaksimYuryev]

Yup, and the Ronin M and other two handed gimbals are even better but the more weight you have the faster you get tired unless you have a rig to it. Thanks for watching!

[@MegaLeonidovich]

@@MaksimYuryev agree, i use dual handle rig setup on Ronin S works great, no problem :)

[@shakeadog_photography]

The SC was designed for mirrorless cameras with prime lenses, if you're using dslr or zoom lenses, the S or Crane 2 is the better option. I tested the SC with my Sony and 12mm prime, worked perfectly. Which is all I need it for.

[@maniksarkar4589]

Can I use it with canon 750d+ 85mm lence??

[@shelekhov]

Max, you do an amazing job through all these comparisons are kinda useless considering an insane quality inconsistency with DJI gimbals. The one might get from perfect sample to insanely glitchy one.

[@thecalloftheroad]

Always great seeing Spokane through your lens. Great review as always Max, have you ever car mounted any of these gimbals? I'm curious to how they would hold up to the pressures of wind at speed.

[@VideosProva]

Interesting comparison, thank you. Is it possible with the SC app, to memorize 2-3 positions on the gimbal and then recall them with a button from smartphone just to immediately move the gimbal into position A, then B and reverse (not with timelapse)?

[@HunGerMovies]

yes, even more positions

[@hqasiatraveldulichtietkiem4054]

The video's quality recorded by Dji's app is seem worse than recorded by mirrorless's camera? Is there any way we can use "tracking" without using Dji's app, bro?

[@Tarkinx]

Crane 2 or 3 ??? You said 3 in the video

[@AzizHB86]

i was thinking of buying it but your comment about the Fuji xt3 and 16-55 hold me back, thanks for saving me couple of hundreds

[@lhardly]

I don't think that comment was accurate. There's footage on youtube of people using this combo fine.

[@lhardly]

I got the ronin SC recently and can confirm the XF 18-55 with the X-T3 works perfectly.

[@AzizHB86]

Your combination is fine i mean the 16-55 f2.8 is the problem here

[@dadsonraj8665]

Hey, how you compare crane 2 vs new weebill s?

[@kevinchung1492]

As a Crane 2 user thank you for the comparison.

[@mribi]

Kevin Chung same here. I wasn’t planning to upgrade anyway but was curious about the differences 😀

[@dwiggins1]

Which one is best for the canon XA55 camcorder

[@quinnvideo7200]

Manfrotto plates are big and bulky. Especially on mirrorless. I prefer a lightweight plate. I mount an Rc2 plate to the small plate on the Ronin SC and use "Peak design dual plate" quick release plates which I can connect to my dual straps for handheld shooting and then swap to tripod, monopod or gimbal ( with perfect balance every time).

[@Warriors9090]

It works on a nikon reflex?

[@KirkwoodImaging]

If I were to get the SC with a Sony a7iii and an a6500, is the pro bundle worth it? I fear the focus motor will make the a7iii too front heavy, and all of my lenses are essentially focus by wire anyway and react differently depending on how fast the focus ring is turned.

[@halcyonramirez6469]

After learning about focus by wire. Don't even bother trying to rack focus. It's the stupidest shit ever. I mean at least let us have the option to turn that acceleration based focus.

[@cellar-door]

I had the same problem with the Ronin S (which is just collecting dust until I need a gimbal for heavier setups). I could never find a good setting that does exactly what I want. With the Crane Plus, the default setting was already doing what I wanted. I was hoping the Ronin SC would improve it in that regard. Also, can you try using a cage on the A7iii and see if that helps with balancing the 28-75? It's all physics afterall. Major props for actually talking about the cons and being critical of this gimbal. All the KZbinrs that DJI sent the gimbals too were so painfully obvious in their DJI shilling.

[@GabrielCastillo-vi3lg]

You make the content I love.

[@TomJoeSHOW]

Great comparison, think it would be best compared to a weebill lab similar payloads and sizes

[@johnjosephsmith73]

Just a query. If you’re doing paid ads that you endorse half way through your videos how can we trust your reviews are honest?

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Hey there Max, If you ever test the new Crane M2 (the little guy), can you please try an A7iii + Samyang 24mm pancake lens on it? Zhiyun told me, No, it won't work... but, I think they just wanna up-sell me a Weebill or something. (because, an A7iii + Samyang 24mm is only like 40-70g more than the M2's advertised weight limit capacity).

[@adamaj74]

The Ronin can also do cool tricks like barrel rolls, etc. Most importantly, it is fully compatible with Fuji cameras, incuding the X-T3! About time!

[@BigIrisProductions]

Does the SC work with the Panasonic S1? Will it fit and carry the payload with the 24-105?

[@MaksimYuryev]

No I don't think it will with the S1 and 24-105mm. Maybe with a prime lens.

[@sheshko_pavel]

Thank for the review :) I have a question for you. Can i use A7 III and Tamron 28-75 on it? And what is the maximum focal length I can use on this on a Tamron?... if it will work And can i install a quick release pad manfrotto 577 on it and use my quick release plate on it?

[@dlwstokio313]

Павел Шешко what did you chose?

[@NateJavier]

Hey Max, do we need to configure the custom settings of the SC on the app every time you turn it off? Or does it remember the settings when you turn on?

[@MaksimYuryev]

It will remember them 👍

[@NateJavier]

Thanks for letting me know. That’s one pain I encounter with the weebill lab. It resets every time

[@dokter.stream4881]

I have order the Ronin SC. I have the Weebill for my Canon m50, but it does not support the camera and they won''t support the camera. Further de app of Zhiyun is buggy. So we will see what the Ronin can do for this camera. I'm glad that DJI support the camera.

[@NigelAquascaping]

Would you recommend Canon 24mm pancake or the Canon 10-18mm for cool cinematic shots at events for example?

[@Aliefrizkixc]

I prefer the 10-18. For me

[@NigelAquascaping]

@@Aliefrizkixc great got that one already. 💪🏻

[@TheGizmoGarage]

awesome review. The only reason I want to get SC over Crane 2 is for the auto subject tracking. But since you mentioned that a Sony 24-70 G Lens and A7 III is already overweight for the SC it got me worried... Are you sure this setup is not going to work with the SC? Or.. does Zhiyun have any products that supports subject tracking so I can track myself in a video without having to interact with the camera? Thanks

[@sayyar9]

You can weigh your setup and decide, so you can choose if its fit yours

[@TheGizmoGarage]

@@sayyar9 true :D thanks!

[@KEVINRIVER0]

Great video nice comparison! Can you use a G5 on the sc and do low shots and 360 effect ??

[@speedbird737]

yes you can

[@stuhunter]

All of the reviews refer to the mounting plate as “smaller” (making it sound like some small proprietary size) and no longer Manfrotto compatible. It is, in fact, Arca Swiss which is wildly popular. To many, this will be an upgrade (myself included).

[@MaksimYuryev]

I do have 2 travel tripods in Arca Swiss, but mostly use my Manfrotto plate ones for video. Thanks for the info!

[@luminari_productions]

I guess if you have a nice arca swiss ecosystem but I don't think a majority of people do and probably won't.

[@stuhunter]

Arca Swiss is, in my experience, very popular among people who own the smaller cameras that this product is designed for. No issue with the review (your work is always top shelf), just an observation I had. I received my SC yesterday and it will be exclusively set up with my A6500 and Sigma 16mm. I will keep my Ronin S for my A7III’s and G Master lenses. Active track essentially makes this a hyperlapse dream machine. 😊 Thanks for the review!

[@luminari_productions]

@@stuhunter For sure having both is the dream. Was thinking of getting it but I hate to take the cages off my cameras so I'm just keeping the Crane 2 I have. When a small camera with 4k 60fps finally comes out the Ronin SC will be unstoppable.

[@stuhunter]

Luminari Productions totally agree. The Ronin SC is only $359 USD here in Canada (no idea why because all other DJI products are exactly the same price as US) so it was a no brainer to add to my kit, essentially for creating hyperlapses with my A6500 and active track. 😊

[@AndyofCT]

I think the size on that Ronin SC, mixed with the locking features and app additions really make it an ideal option for me...

[@luminari_productions]

Like he said just be careful of what camera and lens you are using. A lot of setups won't fit without the back hitting the motor.

[@bananasandbass]

I like the model upgrade. The gimbals are also nice ;)

[@hidetakejapan]

Hi Max I'm using a7riii with 24mm GM, and I have Ronin S. However, should I switch Ronin S to Ronin SC? because I don't use really big camera, so I think Ronin SC is better for me?

[@MaksimYuryev]

If you want to save on size/weight then yes.

[@hidetakejapan]

@@MaksimYuryev Thank you Max. I will order Ronin SC. I always trust you :)

[@frankfeng2701]

Zhiyun recently released Crane-M2 for RX100, go pro, and smartphone for $249 and still offers up to 720g payload. I think that's a better deal.

[@scb2scb2]

given thats a arca plate now don't you feel some like smallrig will create some workable counterweights for it ? like for the S : cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-1zvaiaywbz/images/stencil/2000x2000/products/2151/11099/SmallRig_Counterweight_Mounting_Plate_for_DJI_Ronin_S_Gimbal_2308_5__85962.1548755907.jpg?c=2 Also wonder a little (sorry) all are showing a a7iii or canon R full frame and not somewhat smaller models like the a6400. To me the SC can be made to 'work' with FF but crop cameras are also a large group that would be more workable or full-frame in crop mode lenses (say primes). Or am i crazy ?

Great review Max, i was wandering how the ronin sc will handle nikon z6 + ftz adapter + small g lenses like 20 1.8 g or 50 1.4 g , as it has to be mounted on the ftz adapter, not on the camera itself, which means that the camera will be a bit further back.

Thanks for the review. I've been holding out for quite some time in acquiring a gimbal... until DJI announced the Ronin SC. The main reason was camera support. Most other gimbal manufacturers support Sony... Canon. A nice surprise was DJI at least acknowledging Fujifilm as a supported manufacturer for a change. I'll be testing it out with my X-T3, F2 prime lenses, and 16-55 F2.8 zoom.

[@szeremytamas4366]

I don't know your needs but also consider the brand new Zhiyun Crane-M2

[@sayyar9]

Great review MAX.. regarding the batteries.. which you prefer Ronin or Zhiyun? Because I noticed that Zhiyun have old school batteries..why Zhiyun?

[@GarCorStudio]

I think it’s a matter of manufacturer choice.. some markets prefer the idea of having built in battery and just charging via a usb straight to the gimbal.. other markets like the idea of swapping out the batteries with fresh ones , for which these types of batteries are readily available to purchase. Pros and cons to both designs. I personally own the crane 2 and prefer the option to buy new batteries if ever my existing ones start to die out. My concern with the Ronin is if the in built battery decides to go bad, would it mean buying a whole new lower handle/battery since it is a proprietary design?

[@GrenlandUnderVann]

Do you think it's possible to use the Ronin SC with a GH4 and the rather heavy Olympus 7-14 mm f2.8 lens?

[@aeropictv9920]

absolutely! I use the same lens with a Panasonic gh5s and works perfectly. The only thing is that you have to remove the rubber from the viewfinder so that it does not rub against the engine.

[@GrenlandUnderVann]

@@aeropictv9920 - Yeah, it seems like DJI should have made this section of the gimbal a little longer. Thus this was my main concern that despite 1.4 kg only you could not balance the gimbal due to limited space before the camera back hits the motor section.

Exploring Norway sure! Mail you later 😀

No, but I doubt it will work.

[@PiranFilms]

Really? Why do you say that? I thought that the camera and lens were relatively small

[@MaksimYuryev]

Piran Films Because it barely handled the A7iii with the Tamron 28-75 and the GH5 and 18-35 are each heavier then the Sony setup.

Somehow the Crane 2 footage looks smoother. Hands down. An thats ultimately what you buy a gimbal for in the end. The Ronin SC looks like it doesn't have much compatibility and longevity with their blinking app functionality.

[@SaboTajh]

DJI shows compatibility for the Fujifilm xf16-55 2.8

[@lcprod]

Ok i copy your setting i use this configuration

[@GabrielCastillo-vi3lg]

So for me it’s all about that stable footage. I have found that the Ronin S wasn’t giving me as stable footage as the Crane 2. Is the Ronin SC more stable or as stable as the Crane 2? I hope you will do an Aircross 2 review when it comes out. I am looking for that unicorn gimbal that is light weight, locking arms, smooth, and can balance the 28-75 from wide to long. Thank you!

[@MaksimYuryev]

I found the same thing, at least during launch (I'm not sure if anything was fixed later on in software). I also had an easier time balancing and running the C200 on the Crane 2 even though the Ronin S has stronger motors so I stuck with that setup.

[@MChronicler]

That's odd. I got better stability with Ronin S compared to crane 2. But returned the Ronin by being way heavier.

Hold on Max, wondering if the SC’s modes are as awful as you show and needs so much _fine tuning._ Confirming, I can’t just balance & go? Thanks for nice video!

[@MaksimYuryev]

You can balance and go but I personally find the included profiles not great but this really depends on your preferences and what your a worked with before. I’ve used a bunch of Gimbles and as I mentioned in the video the three presets are either to slow or too fast or too sensitive. You might be fine with it but if you are try to adjust it layer because you might get better results with fine tuning. I know I do!

I was hoping for a comparison between the Ronin SC and Feiyutech AK2000. Can you deliver? :)

[@Reyfox1]

Or their AK4000

[@MrBaptista]

@@Reyfox1 That one should be compared to the Ronin S, as it's more similar (weight, payload)

[@Reyfox1]

@@MrBaptista what about price? The AK4000 does cost more than the Ronin SC, but Max is comparing it to the Crane 2, the same price as the AK4000.

[@MrBaptista]

@@Reyfox1 I think it makes more sense to compare gimbals with similar features than with similar price points

[@Reyfox1]

@@MrBaptista I respectfully disagree. I compare products of similar price points to see which one gives the most value for close to the same money, in addition for "me" and my needs. The AK4000 costs a little more than the Ronin SC, but it also has a much greater payload capability and has more room for using larger cameras if you decide to go to a larger DSLR from mirrorless, and has an accessory to use it with 2 hands and still maintain control of the gimbal.

Did you try the autotune on the Ronin SC? That helps a lot with getting rid of the jitter in my experience. I've had the Crane 1 and 2 and now I have the Ronin S and SC and what I found out is that Zhiyun is overestimating the payload and DJI is underestimating it. Above 2kg (4.4lbs) on the Crane 2, I couldn't get really stable footage anymore, especially when I tried a RED on there without battery/screen and a light lens. I've tried this on the Ronin S with the screen and battery still attached (around 4.5kg), and it was no problem at all.

The Crane had no jitter in the pan, unlike the SC, but, it really is nearly impossible to spot, unless you are looking for it. Really, different tools for different camera setups. Thanks for your review.
