    I watched a ton of these videos on the Ronin S before committing to buying one in September. None of the videos prepared me for the weight of this thing. Most of the videos didn’t mention it or mentioned it in passing, but it is THE biggest thing that will shock you about it. Matti mentioned it again here but in passing really. I was so shocked that on a 4 day shoot where I was filming a Yacht Show all day long each day I didn’t use it for the first two days. This was because I thought it wouldn’t be manageable with my camera and mic on it. I used it the last two days and it was a struggle but the footage was great of course.
    Other thing to mention is if you are wanting to record sound then you need to put your mic on it, which can interfere with the flashlight and underarm mode. I was switching between a VideoMic Pro and a Sennheiser G4 wireless mic and each time you switch you have to rebalance. I’m going to fit an arm on the side to hold these in future so I don’t have to deal with it. Also remember if you have a zoom lens and you zoom, you will have to rebalance each time. Nobody is talking about this either.

      Yeah I thought the Ronin S was super heavy when I first got it, its kinda a chore to use because of that but I just bought this super nifty shoulder strap for it and it takes almost all the weight out of my arm and moves it to my body it makes it SOOOOO much better, obviously​ I still need to test it out to see how much I actually like it.

    @mauibuilder1239 5 лет назад +2

    The DJI Ronin S is a good gimbal if you want a heavy duty setup. Moza and Zhiyun are both releasing 2 new gimbals each that look amazing both higher payload and also 2 smaller gimbals for mirrorless. These are available for pre-order on B & H. The new Zhiyun gimbals have the triggers to recenter the gimbal and go to sport mode and also control all the camera settings. You can also lock all the gimbal motors for traveling. The new underslung mode is amazing and also the gimbals can wirelessly transmit the image to your smartphone which acts as a monitor and touch to focus etc. Definitely worth taking a look at before you put out that hard earned cash.

    i bought the ronin-s and i have to say it is an amazing gimble. affordable. perfect size. comes with carry case. operates to your needs. super quick to set up. build quality is strong and solid.
    i also have the ronin-m which ive been using for the past year and of course it is well known that its an amazing gimble as well. it has some qualities that are better than "single hand" gimbles such as tracking forward sohts and running forward.
    although i think the S will be my new every shoot gimble. battery is amazing as well! i rate it 9/10 simply because the weight is heavy. although its still not a problem.

Also I shoot with sony power zoom lenses and that side control is great for controlling zoom.

Also like you mentioned, the zhiyun can sometimes turn your camera on their own which ruins the shot completely and it leaves me frustrated a lot of the time. Thank you for clearing that up.

    The Ronin-S is a whole lot of Gimbal for the money. The build quality is really slick. I.E. the rubber handle and the quality of the motors are really good. It's a really high quality product. I don't like the contact points where you adjust the knobs to balance it, it's quite tricky to slide the arms in and out as you balance the camera. It's such a pity they didn't make them smooth. Also, it weighs a bloody ton!

    I feel that the focus wheel will come in handy for smartphone gimbals, and using it with mobile phone filming. Once smartphones are able to optical zoom over greater distances without degrading the image quality, it'll be much easier to just turn the wheel. I mean, you can't turn a ring on a lens for a smartphone.

    Hey Matti, could you please do an episode showing how you set up the autofocus with 6D MkII? How do you use the autofocus as you are changing shots and target. Thanks.

    Want to buy one so bad but I'm not sure how Ill use it. Maybe just nice time laps shots. Definitely on the list though

    Excited to see this review. I have a Ronin-S on order and hopefully they’ll stop delaying it on me 😄 haha
