  • We have had the DJI Ronin-S for a while now and have loved using it. As former Freefly MoVI M5 users, does the new Ronin-S compete? Is it good enough for beginners all the way up to full-time professionals?

    I've put my Ronin S through 20+ hours in on-set use on two feature films. And it is much more stable than my Zhiyun Crane v2. No up and down foot step movement in my Ronin S shots, which I do get with the Crane v2. And I do walk with bent knees and roll my feet when I shoot with either gimbal. As far as the plate goes, I don't have a problem with that. It takes me a few seconds to swap out plates from my Ronin S to my Magnus tripod. As far as weight goes? Wah, wah, wah all you want. I'm 58 and I used it on a 14-hour shoot, where I put it down 3 or 4 times throughout that time period. And I'm fine. I shot with it the very next day on another film. I feel stronger now.
    I know there have been a ton of reviews on the Ronin S, but I will be doing my own review given that I've used it in real world situations such as feature films. Thanks for reminding me of what a great decision I made.

    • @connormccaskill
      @connormccaskill  6 лет назад +1

      Absolutely! Sounds like we agree on several levels here. I also shot all day in the sun on a feature doc and barely set the thing down. The smoothness of the gimbal is great too!
      I’d love to see a review from your opinion. If you do, please share it with me!

    • @GrandGeneralKukov
      @GrandGeneralKukov 6 лет назад +1

      Thanks for confirming that point about the up and down motion (I call it head-bob). I've had a Pilotfly H2 for a little over two years and I've loved everything about it - except the head bob. When I first got it I spent weeks trying different walking methods and even with my most careful step I would still get the bounce. Ultimately my best way to deal with it was to get as wide of a lens as I could with IS, and then hold the camera forward a bit to simulate the angle that the Ronin-S has by design. I assume that forward tilt angle absorbs most of the up and down bounce. If that is the case, I'm definitely going to look into picking this up.

      I use the Zhiyun crane plus for my SOny a7iii and 16-35mm lens and simply am not pleased with the result. It works fine, but bounces with steps, doesn't hold the weight well at all, and it is terrible whenever I try to do any parralax movements(very jerky). I preordered the Dji ronin s, but am guessing it's gonna take over a month to receive

    • @slinkytrips
      @slinkytrips 6 лет назад +2

      The further your legs are spread apart the lower the height of your body. As you walk your legs are moving between the two extremes, this causes the bobbing motion you are seeing. The DJI Ronin has no Z axis to compensate for this but it does have a higher weight than other gimbals. This extra mass requires more energy to move but that will help dampen the movement. Ideally you want something in the style of a Steadycam vest to avoid transferring your movement to the camera.

    I like this channel, this space isn’t that saturated as most reviewers aren’t well rounded - entertaining host, sprinkles of motion and graphics, funny bits, to the point structure for people who don’t want to wait for the thing advertised by the thumb. Some channel are technical but dry, some are entertaining but off when it comes to details, most of them have sluggish editing and nearly all of them don’t do motion bc it takes up so much time. Keep it up man

    The focus pull on the GH5/GH5s works with all MFT Lenses, I have the Olympus 7-14mm F2.8 and it works perfectly ;) and with the Viltrox Speedbooster it also works for example with the Canon 18-35mm F1.8 but this Combo is very heavy :/

    With the Ronin-M sometimes it sort of jittered side to side before smoothing out. Have you noticed any of that with the S? Thanks for this excellent review, I'm very interested in this system which seems so streamlined, particularly when navigating crowds or narrow doorways. Thumbs UP! All the best!

    Talking about weight, this is nothing compared to the original Ronin! Running around with like 20lbs of stuff to carry, and you can't even set it down without a stand (that you also have to carry around!) So you're right on, this is very light for what you're getting! Great video, thanks for the review.

    FYI just been having my first play with the S this weekend on GH5 & GH5s. My Olympus Pro lenses 17-14 & 14-40 mm both work fine with the manual focus ring, so I’m pretty sure others will too. Of course your mileage may vary!

    You CAN use Canon mount adapted lenses on the GH5/GH5s with the focus control via a Speedbooster style adapter. I use my Sigma 18-35 and my 10-20 and you have perfect focus control.

    Thanks a lot for the Review. Very informative. However, since everyone only compares Crane and Ronin S, there is something else, a lot closer: PILOTFLY ADVENTUER. CHeck it out. It certainly deserves a mention in this Gimbal-Discussion (Off-angle motor, close to similar payload, full Sony compatibility and almost half the weight and smaller size)

  • @OmarSherien

    Subscribed, and thanks for the amazing review! you forgot the sport mode because i saw a lot of people going back to their old steady cam for shooting high speed videos, I have the crane 2 for a month now and I'm waiting for the ronin S to get back in stock to upgrade, one thing that i struggled with is the balancing i still can't perfectly balance my canon 80D and sigma 18-35 on it, and the footage out of it is so jerky, I thought i was the only one that had this problem.
    Again thanks for this helpful review

    Ive had mine for about 2 weeks. I was able to get the IR cable to wirk with rec start/stop on my canon 6dm2. My one thing I wish they would have thought about is the case. Any time I want to put it back in the case, I have to mess up my balancing. I was thinking about purchasing a gun pelican case? something that it could lay flat on foam? idk just an idea. Im hoping a real canon cable comes out soon.

    • @connormccaskill
      @connormccaskill  6 лет назад +1

      Totally! It’s hard to pack for sure! I think you’re on the right track there with going with a pelican case. It’s so weird traveling with it. I haven’t figured it out yet either.

    • @LostSasquatch
      @LostSasquatch 6 лет назад

      I found the solution on a forum. you have the update the firmware of the ronin. but first download the software on your computer that allows you update ronin. Its Called "DJI pro assistant for Ronin" once you get that downloaded, plug your ronin into your computer and update it. once updated, go into your camera settings while in video mode, hit menu, first red camera menu, 5th page, click "remote control" and enable it.

    • @paulpan6842
      @paulpan6842 6 лет назад +1

      If we allowed any fully balanced Ronin-S to fit inside the case, the case design would end up being 70% bigger than it is. We decided on the smaller case rather than having the Ronin-S flop around inside forcing everyone to carry a larger case. Also, I haven't seen any mention of the benefit of the case being as lightweight as it is. A pelican style case would almost be 4 times heavier.

    • @jimpulley1472
      @jimpulley1472 6 лет назад

      Kinotika so I use the Feiyu A1000 which is basically a mini Ronin S because it have a 45 degree roll motor at the rear which makes it easier to see non flip screen cameras like my Sony. So by default I should like the Ronin S, but in the UK I can get the Crane 2 brand new for £425 compared to £699 for the Ronin S and also the Crane 2 seem lighter and can still handle the higher payload, and also I feel like the charging system on the Ronin S would annoy me over time. It’s been more down to gut feeling as well but watching Brandon Washington’s comparison kinda confirmed that feeling.

    • @LoverOfTech
      @LoverOfTech 6 лет назад

      John Fontain the A1000 is basically a mini Ronin S in Design and features but it’s meant for smaller setups

      same here, From what I heard from a DJI developer they are going to most likely support all Canon Model that are available on Canon SDK, so 70d-80d and t4i-t7i etc should eventually be on there however Canon has yet to add Any mirrorless cameras to the Canon SDK although m50 is currently on the list.

    @vicktorfilmbusker5492 6 лет назад +1

    Nice video mate!
    That is a nice gimbal, but, what I don't understand though, is why almost everyone seems to believe that the Ronin-s and the crane 2 are the only two comparable choices out there. No one seems to know about the Pilotfly Adventurer. It has similar features, capacity and price but with way more versatility, such as an optional dual handle grip with a 5th axis of stabilization, swappable battery, lots of camera controls, Bluetooth remote controller with thumb stick AND it only weighs 1kg instead of the Ronin's 3,6kg. It is really hard to find reviews out there though and it seems like Pilotfly has failed to promote it since no one is talking about it. Anyhow, I own one and I can confirm that it is as smooth as the Ronin-s with a GH5-s, speed booster and different heavy sigma lenses on the single handle setup and much smoother in all kinds of ways with the 5th axis dual handle. For those who haven't bought a Ronin-s or a crane 2 yet, check out the Pilotfly Adventurer as well.

    Thanks for the review! One of the most in depth Ronin S review. Very helpful! Now that you've used it as much as you have, would the Ronin S be a good gimbal to pair with the Canon C200? I know it would be heavy, but I wouldn't be using it for full day shoots. I would use it for 10-15 minutes at a time. Would the weight of the C200 compromise the performance of the Ronin S?

      And it used 501qr plates. They also have a wireless focus controller that can be added on. My biggest issue with previous DJI stuff was the app only calibration. When you have a very limited time using an app is out of the question. We will see what their wireless follow focus goes for. But the Zhiyun Crane 2 is $599 with Follow focus now!!! The DJI accessories you know will be pricey too.

    • @eddieduque9371
      @eddieduque9371 6 лет назад +1

      Steve Holt I paid around $749 and to tell you the truth it was worth it, theres just soo many things about the Crane 2 that I love. And one of those is that, manual calibration and more you can change them right from the stabilizer. I’ll definitely well maybe I’ll spend some money to check out the Ronin since I would need to give an stabilizer to my partner shooter when we go to weddings and stuff..👍🙂

    I have the crane 2 been great except now the joystick came off and after I replaced it , it's acting weird. My friend has the ronin s. As far as stability they both are the same. My crane 2 is really smooth. I also have a ronin m which to me is the most stable out of the 3 I'm speaking about here. I like the ronin but it gets heavy. Just like the crane 2 so I have a mini handle and dual handle. I won't use it without it. The ronin s needs the dual handle out there.

I want the ronin s but the lack of focus wheel working concerns me. I like to shoot manual and would miss that. I have the follow focus on the crane 2.idk what to do lol. I'd only get the s if I can get my crane 2 fixed or replacement and then sell it for 400-500 to put towards a ronin s.

      Amazing! Yes, the battery life is better for sure! If you can borrow or rent a Ronin-S I would if I were you, just to see if it will be better for you. There are things about it that specs don't show that I would be curious to know would effect your decision.

    Two things: I've been getting super frustrated by this after working with the Ronin M for years. I'm constantly having balancing issues with is and seemingly having to be so much more precise than with my setup on Ronin M. I'll watch your balancing video to see if I can figure out some more tips.
    As for your monitor connection -- how are you actually connecting the tilt arm to the mounting point? What sort of screw are you putting there? I can't figure it out!

    • @connormccaskill

      I used the standard screw FROM the actual focus wheel. The official DJI screw basically.

      The C200 works great with the ronin-s but if I could do it again I would get the C200 B version and buy the external touchscreen monitor. The viewfinder kind of gets in the way if you use a bigger lens because you have to move the camera back so far to balance it. The C200 is a beast though you will love it if you get it

      Were you able to successfully balance your 1dxii on the roll axis with the Ronin-S? I've been using gimbals for years, but I cannot correctly balance the roll axis with my 1dxii. It always levels to horizon as opposed to staying put at every position.

      Melvin Jose well 2weeks ago the thumbstick joystick came off and was lost. I take care of my things really well. I'm guessing the glue or whatever became dull after 8 months. I had to order anther cheap joystick that is most likely 20 cents but was charged $20 for 2 of them to be sent to me. After installing the joystick it worked again. I went for a shoot. Packed my crane 2 in the case as always. Once I opened my case and turned on my crane it just started to shake, move left non stop. Idk what it could be. The ac of my car wasn't working and I drove 30 minutes in my car but idk if the heat caused this issue or what but my joystick became unresponsive. Now the gimbal moves by itself. I'm talking with zhiyun via email. I'm under 1 year warranty so they better help me out or this will be a big scam. Cheap joystick falls off, I pay $20 for new ones then it does this

    It's a good product. I have a question.
    The balance of the gimbal was carried out through the application.
    I saw it called "yaw."
    What is this? What is this axis?
    Tilt?
    pan?
    Roll?
    Which of these three is it?
    Thank you.

    Sounds like you’ve been unlucky with the original Ronin. You may want to try another, used mine extensively for 3 years with no client complaints

    • @connormccaskill
      @connormccaskill  6 лет назад

      rhubarbfilms, let me ask you this though, have you ever used the Freefly MoVI in a professional shoot? If your only experience is a Ronin, it's fine! BUT once you use a Freefly in a real shoot enviroment, it's hard to see the Ronin as anything but a poor replication of the MoVI

    • @rhubarbfilms
      @rhubarbfilms 6 лет назад

      Hi Dave, I haven't. Although I i've owned a ronin for 3 years so never needed to. I've had a play with a Movi and the weight is much better especially as I fly larger cameras, C300 mk2, Fs7 and the Alexa Mini has been on it as well but I don't recognise it as a poor replica it was much cheaper at the time, weighed more and had less features but with practice it gives great results and made its cost back at least four times over. Which I'm good with and after all if my kit doesn't earn its money it goes on eBay.
      Liked your review of the S by the way, probably going to order one for times when I can get a way with a GH5s in a run and gun situation. where sound or focus pulls and wireless video aren't needed.

I’ve noticed when i Pan it’s sometimes gets a slight hiccup like it pans smooth then it jerks a tiny bit? Am i not selecting the right settings? Or panning to hard? I’ve updated the Ronin and restored the whole thing. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. Very Odd

    • @connormccaskill
      @connormccaskill  6 лет назад

      Make sure to calibrate the gimbal. Look at the manual to figure out the sequence to do this. If that doesn’t work reset to factory settings. I’d advise you to reach out to dji about this. Im not an expert on that

    • @shootitraw6989
      @shootitraw6989 6 лет назад

      Smooth but if i Pan with my wrist it’s a different story. DJI has no clue what could be wrong unfortunately. 😭
