Been using mine for a year now, and it's a b*****ass motherf****** every. single. Time. You even think, "OK. I've FINALLY gotten it balanced. I'll just mark on the foot and different spots where it should be. NOPE. You must jump through satans hoops every time you want to use.
I've never understood why no engineer has developed a system where all you have to do is mount your camera and push a button that calibrates everything on its own. Is that too much to ask?
Apparently so. I think the strategy here, is to piss even the most patient person off to the point where they smash it, so they have to buy another one.
Nice, clearly depicted and explained instruction video. One very important thing missing is this, If you intend to use a camera mounting or having accessories connected (e. g cables) make sure to have the items connected/attached before you start the gimbal calibration process. If you add/connect items to the camera after calibration, it can upset that calibration. For instance, a connected HDMI out cable will put some tension on the gimbal axis.
Nice job. For some reason everyone makes balancing this gimbal sound like brains surgery and explain it in the most confusing way. This is a great video. Clear and easy. Well done.
PAN RE-BALANCE ISSUES READ THIS POST!!! Soooo...I run the balance test on the app (10th time is the charm right?): Tilt: Excellent, Roll: Excellent, Pan RE-BALANCE NEEDED. So I decide after watching about 5 of these videos that I can't be that dense. So, as with all things new and technical, I decide to do the firmware update. BOOM! problem solved!!! Excellent now appears for all three. Ah...I'm not an idiot ...the app told me so! Please save yourself some frustration and do the firmware update FIRST. I'm not sure why not a single video mentions this but that's all it took! I hope this helps at least one other person.
Thank you ! My pan axis is stable and it kept telling me that, I was driving myself crazy with all the readjusting and making it worse lol. Ur the only one I’ve seen who commented on the issue, didn’t know it was a firmware update.
The DJI official balance tutorial is awful to an embarrassing degree! This is for sure the clearest and most well explained balance tutorial I've found anyway. Subscribing to the channel for sure.
Thank you, thank you! I've generally had trouble getting my unit balanced. It worked properly, but I could tell there was some strain on the motors. This definitely helped me get the perfect balance, at last.
Your video is excellent ! Just one piece of advice, wearing a black outfit is not a good idea if the objects you’re manipulating are black too 👌🏻. Even the table is black, creating contrast between objects is always a good idea for tutorials. Thanks a lot for the video, helped a lot!
A bit late, but i have the same issue, my roll axis is VERY tight. So what i figured was, lifting the Tilt axis a little and then shifting and that works like a charm. Idk if I'm doing it right or not but it works. Hope that helps.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial, I got it on the second or third try, I found I had to put on the spacer plate to get the balance right on the A6300
The official DJI tutorial on this must be one of the worst instructional films ever! This, by contrast, is a brilliant tutorial that DJI should be showing us. Thank you!
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Jeffery Bronson Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
After balancing my gimbal a couple times now I feel like your video is the best I have watched, a you do it quick and efficiently getting straight to the point, even though it did take a while on your first few goes, with other videos 😂 thanks 🙂
1:45 yes, I'm with you so far, right done that. 2:05 Wait, hang on. It just wants to go back to that "pointing at the sky" orientation like you just told me to set it to.
Have you had any luck using the 5D Mark IV with the Ronin S for motion time-lapse in photo mode? In the scenes I've shot, the exposures vary every 3 frames, as if I'm bracketing exposures (but I'm not); and this causes the still image sequence to flicker like crazy after processing. Any thoughts are appreciated!
When I do the tilt access the camera will not stay pointed up. But when I do the test on the phone nothing comes up. Am I doing this right? I have a Sony nex-7 is the camera just to light? Or what am I supposed to do...
I’m still having trouble with balancing by DJI Ronin S with my FS5 Mark ii, I also have the small monitor and microphone attached to the Ronin. I can’t balance it at all. Please someone help!
Hey, can I please ask if you have IS stabilization turned on while mounted to this gimbal? I have Dual IS (both body and lens) on my Panasonic GH5 and was wondering if I can leave them on while on this gimbal for buttery-smooth footage or will this cause it to look unnatural?
How can I set this up quickly when I’m filming if I haven’t got 20 minutes to balance everything in a busy environment. It’s not exactly a easy set up process.
I balanced camera/lens combinations in the office and made a reference card with the measurements. Always remember to take off strap, take off lens cap, insert memory card and battery. If you're using a zoom lens you may need to do this for different focal lengths because the elements in the lens move.
Hello, I wanted to drop a line to thank the creators of this excellent tutorial. I was able to balance my gimbal successfully. Quick question, I was practicing and decided to change the length of the lens from 24mm to 50mm, and the gimbal didn't respond well. Is there an additional step I am missing? Thank you.
All of it was easy except the tilt axis. I cannot get it to be right. I make tons of microadjustments and no matter what I do it isn't right. I have it staying looking up but then when I tilt it down it doesn't stay no matter what I do
Trying to balance my sony a7s ii on a DJI Ronin S and I'm having issues balancing the TILT axis. Every video says 'you'll know it's balanced when it maintains its position'. But mine won't stay still it just flops forwards and backwards. I read something about using the camera riser plate to solve this but I'm not sure how this is supposed to work... ANY IDEAS PLEASE??
Okey I think I have a problem. So when I have my PAN axis properly balanced, I make the Balance Test with the app and it says: Pan: re-balance needed. And if I dont balance my Pan Axis and I do the test it says all EXCELLENT. Whyyyyyyyy?!!!
After multiple attempts of watching tons of these videos i'm no nearer to getting my gear balance. Does anyone have reading for attaching the A7s with Sony Zeiss 35mm?
everything worked fine before when i had my canon 700d and balanced it just as you said in the video. now i just got me a new sony a6300 with battery grip and the 16mm f1.4 and when i try to balance this set, everything say excellent but the tilt doesnt even tho i do exactly as you say in the video? (yes my firmware is updated) help?
Finally, someone who knows how to explain this fully. DJI, scrap your tutorial and use this one. Thanks man! Great and helpful video!
Agree.. just tried to watch the DJI.. an excercise in frustion! This one is good..
Thanks for making it look so easy. I’m seriously thinking of returning this blasted thing.
Maybe your lens is too heavy
God does this thing drive me insane
I thought i was the only one ..
Find it easier pinning jelly to a wall
Sold mine after trying to work with it for months.. only usable if you use one camera lens combo. such a pain in the ass to balance..

They exist but either come with a single camera or are prohibitively expensive

This is BY FAR the easiest and most efficient instructional video on how to do this. And I’ve watched a ton of them.

I saw so many videos to get this done right. This is one of the best. No! The best!!
Exactly what I was writing right now!!!
Just got my ronin S, and your gods gift to this earth a national treasure. Thank you.
I am going to buy a second ronin s so I can film myself smashing up the first one.
😂😂😂😂
😂
This is the best thing on the internet. We just became best friends @TomBrookes
Right there with you, mate 😒😄
I almost spilled my drink laughing.. best comment ever!

Eric Johnson hey thanks a lot
holy shit!! you saved me from trying 5 more hours!!! thanks so much!!!!
How to do the update?
This was one of the more helpful tutorials on how to balance the Ronin; I have watched at least a dozen and this was great. Thank you!
this video is THE BEST. i got my ronin S PERFECTLY balanced in less than 15 mins and in the second attempt. THANK YOUUUU PICTURELINE!!!
The DJI official balance tutorial is awful to an embarrassing degree! This is for sure the clearest and most well explained balance tutorial I've found anyway. Subscribing to the channel for sure.
BEST TUTORIAL I HAVE WATCHED on balancing this thing!!!!!!! Thank you very much.
This is probably the best tutorial for this, not too fast and it’s done in 4 minutes! 👍
Thank you so much! I got a Ronin S today and was struggling to balance it until I watched your video! 😃👍
Thank you, thank you! I've generally had trouble getting my unit balanced. It worked properly, but I could tell there was some strain on the motors. This definitely helped me get the perfect balance, at last.

this is the first vid that let me understand how to balance the ronin s thank you so much
Wow this video is so helpful and easy to follow! Other videos had me so lost but this was explained so well. Simple yet so effective!
This is awesome! First video that properly showed how to balance the Ronin S...
the best explanation ever !!! among all of those which i found on RUclips !!! I watched it maybe 7 times :)
Why does he make it look so easy? Mine is so tight to move up and down and side to side.
A bit late, but i have the same issue, my roll axis is VERY tight. So what i figured was, lifting the Tilt axis a little and then shifting and that works like a charm. Idk if I'm doing it right or not but it works. Hope that helps.
You have to buy it a few drinks first and caress it gently.
This is the best tutorial on RUclips, Thank you.
Finally, these things gave me a headache. Good Job.
This was so helpful! Man I was tripping out trying to get this thing right! I think the software update helped a ton as well!
Finally gotten a video on how to do this .
Thanks.
Have been having difficulty in balancing my Nikon d 500 on it.
But try this ur methods n see.
One of the best easy learning how to do it. Thanks
I used the information you taught here, and it worked!!! Thank you so much for making this video!!
I tried sever balance video this one got me to balance it in 2 mins thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial, I got it on the second or third try, I found I had to put on the spacer plate to get the balance right on the A6300
The official DJI tutorial on this must be one of the worst instructional films ever! This, by contrast, is a brilliant tutorial that DJI should be showing us. Thank you!
Nice presentation and thanks for sharing valuable knowledge.
Still useful to this day, thanks
Am I the o my one who didn’t get one of those bags inside the case? I got a ronin s as well.
you likely got the essential kit, it doesn't come with the bags
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Willie Vihaan Instablaster ;)
@Jeffery Bronson Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jeffery Bronson it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account !

thanks 🙂
Thanks for telling me to open the styrofoam case. I was stuck at that part.
Saved my hours. Thanks a bunch. Subscribed.
Finally got it stabled thank you
🔥💪bro you made a perfect video this internet need more of ur work🔥🔥🔥
1:45 yes, I'm with you so far, right done that. 2:05 Wait, hang on. It just wants to go back to that "pointing at the sky" orientation like you just told me to set it to.
the tilt wont balancen i have an a6000 and a 50mm on it dk what to so, tried everything
Thanks. Really, REALLY good explanation for a total beginner like me !!!
Thank you so much for this video. Very happy with my balance now. I almost had it, but this video helped me nail the coffin.
thank you! been balancing gimbles wrong my whole life, no more!
Thanks this is the best clear video finally
Great video! The music makes me feel like I'm diffusing a bomb though.
Thanks guys very helpful
looks a faff but its just me being a little scared of getting the set up wrong.. you do explain it great
can someone just tell me the balance measurements for a canon 5D mark iv with the 24-105 lens? I need a cheat sheet haha
This was so helpful mate, thank you
Hello, i wanted to get an intervalometer for my Canon 200D. Can you recommend one ? I tried searching the net.. but couldn't find anything :(
That was really usefull, thanks from Barcelona!
Have you had any luck using the 5D Mark IV with the Ronin S for motion time-lapse in photo mode? In the scenes I've shot, the exposures vary every 3 frames, as if I'm bracketing exposures (but I'm not); and this causes the still image sequence to flicker like crazy after processing. Any thoughts are appreciated!
increible video, muchas gracias por existir hombrecillo del futuro.
shouldn't you do the auto-tune after all these steps?
pls sir can u post a complete video to setup and use ronin sc step by step not jump cut
Thanks for making the video DJI was too incompetent to make
So when my camera tilts forward and backwards quickly depending on which direction the camera is already tilting, how should I adjust the tilt axis?
Thank You
I WILL get this to work!
When I do the tilt access the camera will not stay pointed up. But when I do the test on the phone nothing comes up. Am I doing this right? I have a Sony nex-7 is the camera just to light? Or what am I supposed to do...
Try using the little spacer/riser included. That helped me get the tilt on my sony right
I’m still having trouble with balancing by DJI Ronin S with my FS5 Mark ii, I also have the small monitor and microphone attached to the Ronin. I can’t balance it at all. Please someone help!

How can I set this up quickly when I’m filming if I haven’t got 20 minutes to balance everything in a busy environment. It’s not exactly a easy set up process.
Practise alot until you can do it without thinking about it thats your only option

Pam axis balance is super confusing struggling with this.
Thanks! That was super helpful!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome video💪💪 thanks a lot🙏🙏
Thank u very helpfup
thanks dawg
What message you should get from your app after auto tune, in order to know that you balanced well?
As I can see in this video its not a problem that roll axis is leveling the camera when you tilt 3:21?
3:00 roll motor stays still but so unfortunately does everything else. It doesn't roll back to the centre like your video says it should.
everything should stay
@@cbflazaro I got there eventually thank you - great vid btw really helped

Balance half way between 24mm and 50mm. So about 37mm ish
@@BassPlayerAvailable thank you!!
Whats the status of the ronin s battery if the battery is fully charged (while it has been put to charging ) ?
This is a wayyyyyyyy better tutorial than djis did they even know these tips lol?
Nice Balancing Sir
You never adjusted the position of the camera side to side where it mounts
All of it was easy except the tilt axis. I cannot get it to be right. I make tons of microadjustments and no matter what I do it isn't right. I have it staying looking up but then when I tilt it down it doesn't stay no matter what I do

A Nwosu with or without battery grip?
Okey I think I have a problem.
So when I have my PAN axis properly balanced, I make the Balance Test with the app and it says: Pan: re-balance needed.
And if I dont balance my Pan Axis and I do the test it says all EXCELLENT.
Whyyyyyyyy?!!!
Gian Macrobio update the app
After multiple attempts of watching tons of these videos i'm no nearer to getting my gear balance. Does anyone have reading for attaching the A7s with Sony Zeiss 35mm?
Is the motors really noisy?
After watching this video I think I'm gonna pass on a gimbal 😂 don't wanna spend half my life balancing gimbals
Fantastic!
Hi my dji ronin s essential kit battery is stuck how can i remove it ..? Can any one help
I should be ok including the battery grip for my XT3 on the Ronin S right?
everything worked fine before when i had my canon 700d and balanced it just as you said in the video. now i just got me a new sony a6300 with battery grip and the 16mm f1.4 and when i try to balance this set, everything say excellent but the tilt doesnt even tho i do exactly as you say in the video?

is this the song from when spongebob thinks mr krabs is a robot
Thanks lot 🙏❤️
The music made me nervous
tilt axis will not balance please help
How I wish that background music wasn't in this video. It's so annoying to listen to while balancing this Ronin.
Watched this video 3 times and it's still not working. Anyone recommend a better video re: balancing?
