The Ultimate DJI Ronin-S Gimbal with Accessories and Monitor

[@Whiteinrevery]

This video covers EVERYTHING about this gimbal and how we set it up. Did we miss anything???

[@tristanturner]

This was very helpful

[@joshthomasmedia9187]

What batteries for the Focus 7? Do you only need 1 to operate like you have in the video?

[@Whiteinrevery]

2 for an entire wedding day!

[@fin._.thehuman]

I noticed your app is still the old version, could you please show how you did the settings on the new version? Because I'm confused on the layout of the menu in the version.

[@Whiteinrevery]

@@fin._.thehuman sorry about that. I updated the Ronin firmware but not the app firmware before making this video. I thought I had everything updated.

[@BeaboutExposure]

I sense the gimbal game is strong in this one. 😂😂😂😂

[@starshipvelcrp]

You guys do always have the best gimbal movement in a world where most people are going handheld. I think my back would give out halfway through the day using that though.

[@jswalk4]

Can’t thank you enough for sharing your setup. Comes at the perfect time for me. I was looking for a way to incorporate a small display and this set up is perfect.

[@4CardsMan]

Thanks for the professional presentation. Quick start, no "hey guys"

[@RockstarCinema]

Love the cabling on this set up

[@nmbarge]

Great video! very informative. Is there a base plate added on top of the plate that comes with the Ronin? It looks different than what I have.

[@kostasgarcia]

Need this exact setup!!!

[@iSpotmedia]

Great video… except a number of the SmallRig accessories that you cover, don’t seem to be available. While I was able to source and buy the Pole Clamp Ring I can’t find the handles anywhere! Could you please suggest a replacement or update the video to forewarn viewers who may end up spending countless hours online trying to duplicate your rig, when the parts no longer exist?

[@Whiteinrevery]

I wish they still made that part. Their replacement option doesnt have the rubber which is what I like the most about them. Picked these up 5 years ago now so there will always be changes to products over time. Wish I had a better solution but their doesnt seem to be a similar product I could find online at this time.

[@lebavu8260]

Damn that’s some pro skills there around 5:00 mark where u undersling while rotating the monitor 👍. Need to practice and try that move lol but thanks for sharing the tip

[@timsolomon2840]

perfect video! so cool and thank u sooo much, man! appreciate!

[@AlGollas]

Can you send me the link to your “extender piece” to allow the spacing for your monitor?

[@Whiteinrevery]

It is in the Kit link in the description. amzn.to/39Dcawf

[@benjhaisch]

I barely understood any of that, but I definitely appreciate your obsession with nerding our on stuff like this.

[@montyscott5676]

Can you link the spacer you used?

[@Whiteinrevery]

its on our gearlist link in our description. Scroll down after you click on the link and its called the SmallRig Nut, Male to Male adapter, and cold shoe mount.

[@ryansulak]

are there any monitor solutions you would suggest for the atomos shinobi? If I need to switch to undersling mode

[@cc7cc10]

Where did you buy your shirt man? Really nice

[@matjanssen6675]

I can no longer remove the battery from the Ronin S ?

[@matjanssen6675]

Very thorough tutorial, thank you!

[@slimyelow]

What is the small rig shoe extender called?

[@Whiteinrevery]

all the products are linked in the description of this video for you ;) Click on that main link and it will display everything you are looking for.

[@RuiManuel]

The app is outdated when this was published, it's not possible to follow this settings, what's the point?

[@dathofilms]

OMG, great job and motivation but I shoot with Sony A7III and never really need to rig up this much, this many additions really take away my creativity when shooting plus the weight... A7III is so light with my ONe and only tamron, autofocus is that good no need for extra followfocus and monitoring.. none of that. Light easy and ready to go.

[@Whiteinrevery]

DK Media then a monitor is the only addition that I’d recommend for your setup since you can’t do any undersling or jib type shots well without a monitor.

[@YouEnjoyWeCapture]

I would love this set up, but I have the RS2 and I am trying too get the SmallHd 702 touch and a mic mounted. Any adjustments or gear I could get to get a similar set up? Thank You for the video!

[@IceMaN8o4]

Trying to find the extension piece you needed for your SmallHD focus 7 to get more clearance. I’m not sure you linked it

[@siclothing2221]

SAME!! Plz link us man

[@nikos22patra]

Hello very nice vid. Amazing and very clean cable managment. 2 questions. Ronin-S Adjustable Monitor Mount does it fit at smallrigs bracket? Can you saw to us more how to manage the cables. some photos or something Thanks

[@andrewxue103]

Genius setup! Especially the placement of the monitor. I think I can learn from you and solve my problem of "not walking straight" when putting the monitor on the side! Thank you.

[@VisiPianoOfficial]

Loved this video! Everything covered brilliantly and in depth. Kudos. P.S. The new Ronin app has changed the layout and we can't do the specific setups like you did for the app settings. Can you give us updated settings for each user profile in the description or a comment please? Thanks!

[@Whiteinrevery]

I'll look into it in the coming weeks. Finishing up some current deadlines at the moment. You're not the first to ask so I guess I need to update that info haha.

[@aaroncollinsphoto]

@@Whiteinrevery That would be great if you could do that, I just got my Ronin S and every single tutorial on setup is basically nullified because they completely changed the whole system.

[@jakeMFbacon]

Dude what is that extender for the monitor I have a smallhd focus 5 with that same mounting arm so would be perfect. Also what is that hdmi connector thing?

[@michaelfireborn7217]

How is this question not answered yet? Hulk angry!

[@sniperv]

What's the "extender piece" coming out of the SmallRig 2221? Looking to replicate this setup. Than you!

[@UndefinedBailiwick]

I went tactical and put an EVF on a NVG mount. I can use my gimbal from ANYWHERE and not have to worry about adjusting a monitor.

[@Garyrice1990]

yeah, i noticed "smooth track" isn't an option any longer... What settings do you use on the new app?

[@Garyrice1990]

@whiteinrevery

[@Whiteinrevery]

smooth track is an option. the app location of settings changed right after I launched this video. trying to make a follow up video about the app soon.

[@Garyrice1990]

White In Revery awesome thank you!

[@nekistayfruity]

Do the NATO Plate work with the Ronin-SC also?

[@antwonwill12]

Hi can you send the links for hdmi cables. I cant seem to find them online (thin hdmi). I got a ronin s dual handle which mount did you use because I want to use my monitor whilst using my dual handle

[@crispetesfilms215]

Yesss! We where really waiting for this, THANK YOU GUYS!

[@Whiteinrevery]

Hopefully it is worth the wait :)

[@nopolaroids]

Would the tilta nano nucleus wheel fit there? The handles seem too tight to actually use anything bigger than the Ronin focus wheel? Did anyone try this?

[@olodum111]

What firmware and app version are you using? I am up to app ver. 1.2.8 and firmware ver. is 2.2.1.10. All my app menus are different from yours. Any suggestions??? Art

[@Whiteinrevery]

Just found out I didn't update the app before making this video. I apologize.

[@lebavu8260]

Ever run into bad cable during live shoot and having to pull it out of the rubber bands? lol hope not that would be annoying

[@climbnride58]

Great tips, thanks

[@MammadAliyev]

haven't seen such a flexible monitor mounting system before. gonna find out how to build such setup with Ninja V

[@joshuamiller3518]

Mammad Aliyev I’m doing the same thing as well

[@johnmcdonald5242]

I just got a Ninja V today . I got the DJI handles and the DJI monitor mount. They are perfect together. I just need to figure out how to secure the cables with rubber bands.

[@elvin6065]

Holy shit that’s a well thought out setup, best one so far that I’ve seen on KZbin! Tempted to just ball out and get the exact same setup, except for my 5” smallHD oled!

[@tiptop3197]

I am unable to find the extender and hot shoe mount for the monitor setup. Does any one has the link ?

[@DungarooTV]

Hey buddy, I have a GH5 with Dual IS stabilization on both my camera and lens - I recently bought this gimbal - I was wondering if I can leave the Dual IS settings on when connected this gimbal or will have I to turn it off? I heard mixed reviews - some feel having all settings on will make it butter smooth whereas others say having Dual IS on will make it look unnatural on a gimbal. Your experience? 11:40 you seem to have it turned on?

[@Whiteinrevery]

Id leave it on as long as the lens isn't super wide. Any lens wider than 20mm I would turn off IS as it look unnatural. I'd also turn it off if you are filming into the sun as the flare can look unnatural as well.

[@michaelfireborn7217]

I actually ordered the nato grips per your suggestion along with the cables however the nato grips blocking the gimbals movement IS NOT an advantage. The design of these nato handles by smallrig is flawed and they should be recalled. I'm returning mine today. You might consider taking this video down as this has been a big waste of time on my end. Anyone else who buys these damn nato grip handles by smallrig will not be happy.

[@Whiteinrevery]

taking this video down haha. wow. ok it didn't work for you but helped so many other people. I literally explained in the video that the handles will stop the arm from going beyond that area so you knew that the nato grips block the gimbal movement. its an advantage because it keeps your HDMI cable from being pulled off and stuck so that's why I said it's an advantage. a lot of other people are happy with those handles.

[@Jacobchrhansen]

Hi, I love your set up ... BUT ... the gimbal arm juuuuust touches the handel screws. Any idea to come around this?

[@Whiteinrevery]

I mention that I prefer this or else it would snag the hdmi cable and disconnect it. Unfortunately there is no work around for this yet that I have found.

[@schmidtvisuals2121]

Has anyone figured out the app settings with the newer firmware?

[@mauricehikes8295]

Awesome video. Did you add a link for the dual grips? I see everything but that. Please Sind me a link to the dual grips

[@Whiteinrevery]

Is should be listed in the gear list link. Just click on that link and you will see all the products listed out. They are smallRig handles with a nato mount.

[@joshthomasmedia9187]

Excellent video mate! Curious why you guys shoot on the S1 though instead of the S1H which is more geared towards video.

it's double the price is the main reason. and weight.

[@hvdmey]

Hi, very nice setup. My Ronin S is almost identical, with Focus 7, smallrig handels, kabels and ranger bands.But how do you get the bands over the arms so I can strap the cables.

[@kattblac]

@@hvdmey can you send my way as well? did you just unscrew the arms?

[@hvdmey]

@@kattblac no, I cuts the rubber bands into half so that they can stretch more.

[@TOKYObrah]

Can you please share your Monitor settings for the SmallHD Focus 7? The colors are extremely inaccurate with the GH5... I've watched your video about calibrating the 5-inch focus with the GH5 and it works great. Unfortunately, those sams setting do not work on the 7-inch model. Thanks in advance

[@Whiteinrevery]

did you watch our video on the Focus 7 by any chance? when I looked at that monitor compared to the 5in, I didn't have to hardly change anything as it came shipped with better colors and accuracy in my opinion.

[@penfex]

Great detailed setup video - thank you :)

[@futgonzo3162]

what is the "technical name" for the part on which the camera is attached? by that I mean the intermediate part between the ronin and the monitor regards

[@Whiteinrevery]

it is just a spacer. I have it listed in the gear list of the description of the video. just click on the link and you will see all the parts listed out :) Hope that helps.

[@paulserna7191]

I guess some people do not really watch the video since they keep asking for links and other questions that are answered in video lol thank you for such detailed video by the way :)

[@Whiteinrevery]

to their credit, it is a LONG video. haha. I thought it would be like 12min when I initially filmed it. When editing it, I realized there was so much content. However, it does cover everything :)

[@JRodriguez]

[@FaithChurchofWorcester]

Hi! Love your video. I have a Ronin RS2 - will the smallrig rod clamp work with that gimbal, or is there another type of clamp I need to purchase?

[@Whiteinrevery]

The Ronin RS2 comes with Nato mounts attached to the handle in the middle so you don't need a clamp that goes around the gimbal like here on the Ronin S. Just get Nato mount handles or extension arms and you should be set.

[@FaithChurchofWorcester]

@@Whiteinrevery Thank you!!

[@FaithChurchofWorcester]

@@Whiteinrevery Sorry one other question - as I understand it, if you unscrew the base tripod legs, the Ronin S has 2 different size screw mounts to allow you mount the gimbal onto a monopod. The RS2 only has 1 small thread hole that doesn't fit the bolt size of any of my monopods. Is there an adapter for this that will allow me to mount the RS2 onto a monopod? TIA!!!

[@thecomeupkidz]

What is the monitor adapter piece called?? It’s not on your gear list

[@Whiteinrevery]

are you talking about the extender piece or the monitor bracket? the extender is on our gearlist link in our description. Scroll down after you click on the link and its called the SmallRig Nut, Male to Male adapter, and cold shoe mount. all three together make up that extender piece.

[@MrMikeymike77]

I can't find that hot shoe mount anywhere! would you have a link to that?

[@Whiteinrevery]

are you talking about this: geni.us/gimbalsetup Check out the product Nut Connection and Cold Shoe mount. It is 2 separate parts to make it connect.

[@baconlover7000]

Can you do this same monitor set up with a feelworld monitor??

Hello, love your video! Question, what is that accessory from small rig that attaches to the SmallRig ring around the gimbal?

[@milarofilms]

I have the same setup thanks to you! I have only one question. The Smallrig 2221 base plate which you put around the ronin always slide up and that already in 5 minutes. how did you fix this? because I tighten the screws really hard and that doesn't help. I don't see anyone with this problem and I think that's weird. I'm afraid if I use the ronin longer, it will come off completely

Hi white in Revery... thx for that perfect tips... today I receive my plate and 2 handhelds from smallrig and directly try out... but I have problems with using it together with the ronin s... the Ronin can’t turn around 360 because it contact the screw from the handhelds... u have an idea to fix that problem? Thx a lot...

[@Whiteinrevery]

yeah thats what I mentioned in the video that it hits the arm but I prefer that to keep the cable from being pulled too far or disconnected. Going with the DJI handles would be the better alternative if you wanted to utilize the 360 roll feature.

[@alessandroradice6519]

Hi, I use nikon z6 + adapter + 14-24mm (heavy lens). I will use it 90% of the time at 14mm. Should I balance it at 14mm or at 19mm (in the middle)?

I would balance at 14 then.

no you cant because of the handles blocking it and the cable. if you don't have a monitor you could and remove the handles.

[@KevinLe]

Great video! Do you ever find your camera freezing when having the lumix plugged into the Ronin-s? It seems to happen when I’m switching between shooting and playback.

[@Whiteinrevery]

for some reason, when we plug in the cable from the GH5 or S1 into the ronin WHILE plugging an HDMI out to the monitor, the camera screen goes black and only displays on the monitor. Both ronin and cameras have been updated and still there is this issue which is why we don't plug our camera into the ronin.
