What the DJI RS3 should have looked like // Vertical shooting with Canon R5C

[@morusvadim1771]

this is the only video where there is a normal explanation about vertical shooting and with all the solutions. Thank you very much for your work!

[@sharifreid]

Perfect video.. I was just asking around the internet about the Vertical mode on the RS pro like literally for 4 days straight now. Then Boom! I found your video. I shoot a lot of my reels on Instagram in vertical. I just ordered the RS3 so i have to get the vertical bracket. I was going to order the vertical bracket but I thought I didn’t need it.

[@FoodieRSA]

How do you find it after shooting in the vertical configuration?

[@7-bs]

Been looking for such videos since they dropped the rs2 dropped ! Just got the rs3 and the vertical mount ! I took this as a sign !

[@matonamagopeni8366]

Great video, love the detailed explanation😎😎😎

[@Mankischwein]

Very good video from the topic that is really on everybodys mind but solutions vary a lot. I'm working with vertical video's daily but sometimes I also need to product 16:9 videos too. My most common gear for this is Canon R6 with 15-35mm f/2.8 + DJI RSC2 gimbal with sidehandels and Raveneye. I have to options for doing vertical videos. 1. Option: Mounting the camera with smallrig rigcage verticalle (HDMI down) to gimbal and balance it. Then mount my Röde Videomicpro+ to left sidehandel and plug it to camera or use external lav mic or boom mic dependin on the scene. This has been pretty solid way to do everything fast. 2. Option: Mount camera horizontally to gimbal with raveneye on the bottom. Balance it. Unlock gimbal from the middle and bend it front 90 degrees. Lock it. Take the Tripod from the bottom of the gimbal to opened middle as a "tophandel" and screw it tight. Mount you mobile phone to left sidehandel and use it as a screen with ravenye. Mount Röde videomicpro+ to right sidehangel and plug it in. Start gimbal and turn portrait mode on. Keep hands on sidehandels or in tophandel. Use focus motor with your left thumb smoothly. Soon gonna be updating to R5C and it should teoretically work same way, just need to rig external battery somewhere in the sidehandels.

[@Campbell_jam]

Panasonic already do this but I'd love it if @canonaustralia had a firware update that gave the R5C the Option of Open gate. This would use more of the sensor and give you more options when it comes to re-framing.

[@BillyLaMug]

For vertical, is there a setting to auto rotate orientation when opening it in post? I could do it on my R6 but the R5C I couldn't find that setting. I'm able to rotate the OSD but opening it in post it never auto rotate its orientation. I could always rotate it 90 degree in post but its an extra step :(

[@johannesdoerr]

Not that I know of...

[@robwettengl2468]

I just received my DJI vertical bracket, works fine for normal shooting but gimbal begins to shake if I go into Flashlite mode. Going to try balancing in Flashlite mode and see if I can get it towork

[@danleevlogs]

Is it possible to use the focus motor with the vertical mount?

[@johannesdoerr]

yes

[@JamesWilliams-in3py]

Very nice vid. I use an L bracket to switch, but it still takes a minute to rebalance so it’s not something I use Wish the cameras had internal sensor shift

[@robwettengl2468]

Great video!

[@boompictures]

Very informative video. Vielen dank!

[@dinbali]

I have the RS3, not the RS3 pro, and I can’t find that landscape mode in the app which you activate on your phone after mounting the camera sideways. How to do it?

[@johannesdoerr]

The portrait mode setting of the gimbal? I set that in the gimbal, not in the app (don’t know if that is possible)

[@EverythingCameFromNothing]

The Ronin RS 3 and RS 3 pro have portrait mode now 😃

[@jwscheuerman]

At 3:00 what setting are you changing?

[@johannesdoerr]

I‘m switching between pre-defined gimbal positions

[@jwscheuerman]

@@johannesdoerr Thank you! Have you been able to get activetrack to work when shooting vertically?

Please help with a video balancing the dji with the verticle mount

[@johannesdoerr]

What exactly do you need help with? Do you have trouble balancing? What camera?

[@7-bs]

@@johannesdoerr i got it done! But im facing another issue connecting my A6400 (micro-usb) via cable

[@DJ-HGLegacy]

Without the Bluetooth on the R5C, can you add a cable to allow the autofocus with the DJI RS3 Gimbal?

[@longbrah]

Do you know the weight limit for using the DJI Vertical mount? I have the DJI RS3 with a Sony A7IV (658g) & Sigma 24-70 (1,020g).

[@johannesdoerr]

I don’t think that it has a different weight limit than the regular mount

[@longbrah]

@@johannesdoerr ok thanks! Possibly a balancing issue?

[@Roysphotos8]

I think there isa different weight limit, becayse of balancing. I’m using the 16-35gm ai can ot get it balanced in vertical. The plate is too small. I am using 16-35gm with a7iv on a rs3

[@alexandredesmarteau]

I’m also having a hard time balancing the tilt axis with my Canon R6 in a cage mounted vertically on the RS3. I have it paired with a RF 15-35 f/2.8. Do you have any tip?

[@johannesdoerr]

Nothing besides using other things like microphone or battery as counterweights. Good luck!

[@rbpictures6496]

Just a question is the RS 3 work good wir the R5C ? I see only recommendation for the Pro. Which lenses you can use wit RS3. I plan 24-105 and 16-35 with EF adapter. Maybe RF 24-105. Thanks

[@johannesdoerr]

I cannot really answer that because I only have the RS2. I would go with the RS3 Pro because I have struggled long enough with a too-small gimbal (the Ronin SC), and now with the RS2, I enjoy knowing that I can put almost anything on the gimbal (microphones, matte box, etc.)

[@mykal7734]

I've been looking for solutions for this too, it seems like vertical video will be the market leader someday. I'm going to try RS3 with vertical mount, the alternative was to get a BGH1 and mount it sideways, but I have no way to test that before spending $2K on the BGH1 camera body...

[@burgunbeerd]

Need square sensors

[@JasonLeeCalifornia]

Yes. That will solve the problem. I wonder who will be the first to make a square pixel. Maybe a circular sensor with image stabilization!?!?

[@hsdcreative]

Hey, I got the Sony RS3 (not pro) with the transmitter. I can't get the active track to work with the original mount of the Ronin Vertical mount. I am using an 85mm lens maybe that is why! but were u successful in getting the active track to work when shooting vertically?

[@yuvrajbudhathoki7004]

can it hold 85mmf1.4gm sony lens ? if then i gonna buy this !! hope i can get a reply

[@johannesdoerr]

It probably will. I use it with heavy cinema lenses (the RS2)

[@mirkotabasevic3509]

Thank you so much

[@itss1052]

Does you Active Tracking version 3.0 of the raveneye work for your setup? I am curious if the DJI vertical mount helps, because the tracking does not work for me if I just "cage" mount my cam vertical (even with protrait tracking mode on). A vid would be helpful please.

[@johannesdoerr]

How did you mount the camera? Clockwise or counter-clockwise? Maybe it only works in counter-clockwise position.

[@itss1052]

@@johannesdoerr 😮!! Camera grip down for cables access, that makes it clockwise then. I probably need a L bracket or the dji vertical mount to make it easier to try counter clockwise and access wires then. The RS3 does seem going the opposite direction for what I have right now. Thanks, that give me more options to test the tracking out.

I recorded 4k 120 video on the R5C vertically however when I imported it to premier pro I loaded it as landscape. I cant find any information anywhere on how to get this to load vertically in Premier pro. Can you help? Is it just a matter of changing OSD Orientation left or right one filming? Thanks

If you are on mac you can easily just right click the files and choose quick action -> rotate left in the finder :)

heyy i was planning on getting the canon r5c with RF15-35 2.8 but is R5C fully compatible with dji rs2 . i have been a photographer a long time now but i want to invest in video and photo want to do more of interior photo and video and vertical reels for general video assignment or will you suggest canon R5 for dii rs2 i know that my videos will not be very long. will a normal L plate work for r5c and rs2 gimbal i currently have canon 5dmarkiii nd 60D . going to buy in 2 days do suggest thanks

[@johannesdoerr]

The only thing that does NOT work with RS2 and R5C is controlling things like ISO or focus through the gimbal. Only start/stop recording works. For me not a big deal. Balancing the camera with that lens should be no problem. You really have to device if you want to dive into the cinema OS world with the R5C, or if you'd rather stay in the photo world with video mode. You can watch my R5C film rig video to see a comparison with my previous RP (obviously, that's not an R5, but many differences to the R5C also apply to the R5). I hope that helps!

[@azaty]

How did you balance the camera vertically using the rig? My RS3 doesn’t balance it…

[@azaty]

I mean the cage

[@azaty]

There is no video on KZbin, could you please make one, I cannot balance it vertically using the cage

[@johannesdoerr]

What axis is not balancing?

[@azaty]

@@johannesdoerr Thank you, I went to some experienced users, they configured it for me. The problem was that the camera could not stay in upwards direction, it used to fell down all the time, which is apparently normal for vertical setup. The gimbal must compensate this with its motors (although not recommended by DJI)

[@duyhungphannguyen3049]

@@azaty hey bro im having the same problem did you found the solution for balancing the vertical cage ?

[@Julesbgoes]

hows the Canon R5c and Rs3 ? will the the RS3 be good enough wedding film or the Pro is better ? i do have the Ronin Mx for commercial work

[@johannesdoerr]

Cannot say for sure, but as far as I know, the RS2 is a similar size as the RS3 (and by that would work with the R5C), and the RS3 Pro is bigger. I recommend Parker Walbeck’s Video about the RS3, he does a size comparison I think.

[@alangreginez9192]

Nice video ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@nickyls]

Why cant you just attach the camera vertically on the gimbal using a small rig?

[@johannesdoerr]

I also do that in the video, don't I?

[@aoi_p]

Awesome!!

[@michaelengelhardt3612]

Mega Videos, danke dafür! Vielleicht eine blöde Frage, aber ich kann mein RSC2 per Klick auf Portrait Mode also vertikale Aufnahme stellen. Hab ich da jetzt einen Denkfehler oder kann das nur das RSC2?

[@johannesdoerr]

Probiere es mal aus - die Kamera wird nach oben ausgerichtet, denn in diesem Modus muss man den Gimbal „wie ne Taschenlampe“ halten. Finde ich bisschen unbequem, wie ich am Anfang des Videos sage.

[@andyony2]
