Brilliantly simple mounting on the hitch! I'm gonna try that for my next roller.

[@mdifilm]

Thank you for this, been trying to figure out this for years, and you helped me!

[@deepimpactmedia]

I am a car-related videographer living in Japan. I was having problems with rolling shots. I came across this video of yours and it seems to solve that problem. I would like to try this method too.

[@Maximummoiton]

For sure man do it.

[@deepimpactmedia]

@@Maximummoiton Thanks for the reply. I would like to contact you directly, is there a way?

[@Maximummoiton]

@@deepimpactmedia not really man. I don’t have any social media anymore and I’m currently overseas serving so I don’t have much access to internet.

[@deepimpactmedia]

@@Maximummoiton Okay, I understand. Your rig is the most realistic. I will reproduce it. I am so glad I came across your video.

[@RahFree]

I *LOVE* that setup!!

[@FujiboHeavy]

NICE! I plan on doing this setup! Also have a Corolla Hatch as well!! E210 crew!

[@BenBoxer]

Sweet setup!

[@HumblyDriven]

Thank you for this! Oh, you are from the DMV area awesome!

[@jonathanmoultroup798]

Awesome video, one of the best low profile setups. I've setup one of my own as well, do you have any tips/suggests on settings for the gimbal in the app (Stiffness, strength, etc...)?

[@capturecorpmedia]

This is amazing!!!!

[@0xBerto]

Good stuff. Thank you!

[@deelofilms]

Nice! I can't get my DJI Ronin-S universal mount powered up.. I'm not plugging in the D-Tap connector properly or something.

[@CarCultureSA]

this is sick!!!!

[@eroxfff]

Hello Max, thank for the video. One question, how much is the stiffness for the DJI Ronin S motors? thanks in advance for the help.

[@amirirani]

Thanks buddy

[@balmofilms]

Dude, thanks a lot

[@yaroslavkovalenko5590]

Max cool video!thanks Can you build that base for a sale?

[@grvm1466]

what hdmi cable did you use to route from the hitch set up to the monitor in the passenger seat?

[@lecolintube]

That is a very cool system. Thanks for sharing. Did you have to do any adjustments to your car to allow the cables to enter in through the trunk?

[@CillitPrang]

Dope!

[@marknorth323]

Are you getting consistent Bluetooth signal from passenger seat? I’ve tried connecting to GH5 when mounted on rear of a car for an image, but Bluetooth is too weak to get through metalwork of a suburban with loads of kit in the back. Wondered if PS4 controller has better connection and reliable for work?

[@channkrp]

Know if the base would work for the DJI RS2?

[@maxbuckner1465]

will the universal mount work with the rs3?

[@murdock1655]

cool

[@BenBoxer]

What song was that?

[@Skatelifecrisis_]

How did you setup the playstation controller?

[@rousedvideo3380]

with Ninja flame you can't record 4k 60fps?

[@shkooling]

Hey I just came across your channel! Was just curious what your setup is now since this video is 3 years old now? Keep up the good work!

[@Maximummoiton]

Hey man so I’m using a modified tilta hydra alien set up now. Dm me on IG instagram.com/maximum__motion?igsh=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D& if you have any questions. I’ve got photos of my new set up there.

[@rbengraff]

Great rig dude. He's a question. How did you get the PS2 controller to talk to the Ronin and, do you think it would work with the new RS2?

[@sahan2860]

Phone app has an option (Ronin App)

[@navyblue9397]

The PS controller is really cool

[@FlashFilmAcademy]

dope idea you should start a kickstarter and make them yourself. you'd make a killing!

[@Maximummoiton]

Yeah I thought about it, then I sold all my stuff and joined the army lol.

[@letstalkapple6665]

The question is, are you gonna get the RS2 with raven eye setup?

[@skywalkerstudios1]

Well that's what I'm gonna do :)

[@Maximummoiton]

Yes....coming soon :)

[@AndietheLab]

wahoo!

[@pr1sm55]

Great video!! Question: I am planning to mount everything in a trunk of a station wagon. I have not seen anyone do it yet. I feel it's way safer and it's OK to drive with the trunk open in most cases. Is there any reason why everyone is mounting it on the outside except for more angles?

[@Maximummoiton]

This set up that I have is very safe, a lot safer then driving with your rear hatch open. The problem with that is the downforce on the hatch when you’re driving at highway speeds, and not being able to get side profile shots of cars.

[@nunusthirst167]

@@Maximummoitonhey are you still open to questions?

[@tylermcgraw5628]

Hi Max! Thanks for the great video! I'm currently considering getting RigWheels Cloud Mount Pro System myself (I also have a Ronin-S). Question For You: I noticed you posted this video nearly a year ago. Do you still like the Cloud Mount Pro and are you still using it on your projects? (Your help with this is greatly appreciated. It's been difficult finding reviews on RigWheels products. I suspect they might possibly be a newer company.)

[@Maximummoiton]

Hey Tyler. So about 2 months after making this i sold everything when I joined the army so I haven’t used it that much.

[@tylermcgraw5628]

@@Maximummoiton Thank you for your service and the sacrifice you're making Max. You're a hero and I'll be praying you stay safe and come home. Thank you for your reply. Yeah, I've been having trouble getting some answers from the manufacturer. They don't seem to reply all that quickly to email or phone call. Haha. If you don't mind me asking, did you have any problems with it for the short time you had the Cloud Mount Pro?

[@Blub2]

The bolts on the square tube can loosen over time when you bolt it trough the tube like that. You should drill bigger holes on one side and bolt it only to one side of the square tube.

[@forgedsanity2916]

Or he can use proper washers

[@AUTOSARTID]

bro.. how about maximum speed for the gimbal and tilta kit to keep smooth the footage?

[@Maximummoiton]

I’ve gone 100 MPH

[@AUTOSARTID]

@@Maximummoiton nice.. have you tried mount in front tow?

[@Murrayxlogan]

Max how would you recommend mounting a gimbal like the dji rsc 2 where it is a unibody handle and cannot be used with the ronin baseplate? I am trying to find some kind of clamp to mount the handle onto the shock mount.

[@Maximummoiton]

Yo man, what I’d do is get an isolating arm that attaches to a speed rail. And for the side that mounts to the gimbal put a clamp on there and clamp it to the handle of the RSC 2. Google it, there’s a lot of people who have done it before.

[@Murrayxlogan]

@@Maximummoiton thank you so much for the advice man! Huge help to my project!

[@Maximummoiton]

@@Murrayxlogan no problem man. Happy to help.

[@MIMCKMedia]

How to connect PS controller to the ronin?

[@Maximummoiton]

I made a video on it

[@Jambo1999]

B&H has only one review on that isolator, and its very negative. Consider leaving your own review there. Also, link to the hitch thingy is broken.

[@FKfilmphotography]

This could be the answer to avoid hanging out of the car and get in shit with the cops. I have no trailer hitch though which is a pain

[@Maximummoiton]

That’s why I made it hahaha, tired of cops fucking with me

[@shouldigetit]

How do you setup the PS4 controller to the gimbal?

[@Maximummoiton]

Dji ronin app.

[@Maximummoiton]

I have videos about it on my page.

[@shouldigetit]

@@Maximummoiton Sweet, I'll check it out, thanks!

[@knbgaming6027]

whats this build cost?

[@Maximummoiton]

All depends. If you get it used $1500 no including a camera

[@Maximummoiton]

I sold this set up without the camera/monitor for like 1800 I wanna say

[@knbgaming6027]

@@Maximummoiton nice, thanks! gonna build this out for my wrx

[@25mrkeys]

Ain't nothing cheap about this 😭

[@Maximummoiton]

Sub 1500-2000 build without the camera. Way cheaper then renting out motocranes.

[@Maximummoiton]

Brought everything for that set up used btw.
