I forgot to mention using a higher aperture will make those shots alot more in focus of course! Also, I balance the entire system and then adjust the roll again after inserting a HDMI cord for monitor use.
which is not the best choice in low light situations. so how do you usually handle the focussing? is there a decent autofocus with the fotodiox adapter?
Thumbs Up!!! Mounting/Balance: 00:37 Motor Settings: 05:53 Walking Technique: 08:41 Focus: 9:36 @ycimaging Thank you for another dope and informative video!
I've had the M for a couple of years now and going back over this video has helped re-tune it and has allowed me to get the most out of it without constantly upgrading to a new gimbal...Very helpful!
i remember watching this video awhile back last year i told myself i was gonna get the Ronin M 🙏🏽 a year later i officially got the money purchased it last week will be at my door step tomorrow 🔥🎥🙌🏾💯🙏🏽 blessings from above
TIM i love it man the only con i have to it is how fatigued you can get while using it the little sucker can be heavy imma post a video really soon of it today marks one month that i’ve had it!!!!
Same here fam..I was using a glidecam for the longest and I just said you know what..let me make this upgrade..best decision I ever made..and it looks way more professional. Jus don't make the mistake I did and forget to buy a right angled hdmi to mini cuz it will mess up your motor.
DUDE!!! Thank you for this tutorial! This is light years better than the one made by DJI, mainly bc you show the possible struggles in the process whereas they pop their shit out of the box and it's perfect. You made me feel like I was not losing my mind! Great job!
An EXCELLENT guide to the Ronin. I got mine a few weeks ago and have watched a ton of tutorials. This is by far the best video on it. You covered every aspect that I considered important!
I'm scrambling to learn as much as possible about the Ronin since I'll need to use it for a job this weekend and your video was very informative and clear. Thanks!
If you use wider focal lengths, you have the ability to use a wider apertures (ex. 1.8) If you use tighter focal lengths, you have to use higher apertures (ex 3.5 and up)
Great video Bro! great real time tutorials and thorough! (and just to clarify.. you're right on the pan axis...the more weight there is on the plate..the further back it needs to shift to bring the front weight into the centre of gravity!)
been watching you for 3 years now and im about to finally grab myself a ronin m tomorrow for my a6500 and sigma 18-35, cant wait to be able to fly that lens on a gimbal, also great video learned a bunch
I love you guy ! I'm French I watch all the videos, and precisely that's the question I was wondering just now! How to handle the focus when using the ronin.
Really appreciate everything you do man. DJI videos barely helped me, and all of your Ronin content changed everything for me. When using a monitor, should I balance the Ronin with it mounted, or wait till after I have the camera fully balanced? I have a lot of trouble getting it balanced when I have the monitor pre mounted and the cables connected to my camera. Recently Ive just been ditching the monitor because it complicates things. Let me know my dude. Appreciate you
Hey man, this is really helpful. I picked up one yesterday and I'm so excited to use it.. your instructions seems point on. Thanks for putting out great content.
love this damn video. I haven't use a gimbal many times (three times to be exact) and I'm picking a Ronin M up next week...one thing I struggled with when I used one is the focus. Thanks for the tip on that.
OMG! I literally thought the opposite! I had thought if you shot at a higher f stop it would be better than something like f1.8...have to try this now :)

Nice video! I teach a film class at my school and I'll definitely use some of your stuff with my kiddies. Subscribed!
I just purchased a ronin m and i have a sony a6000 i need to mount it to the long bracket I see you have a extra accessorie that goes around the camera and then mounts to that bracket need some help great tutorial on balancing and like how u showed how to get steady footage tip .thanks for all your time to help us newbies.
You didn't touch on moving subjects like the artist walking towards for you for these one take music videos. I would assume you shoot at 18mm to keep everything semi focus right? But, I know the Sony does has auto lock focus tracking not sure if it will work with that type of lens tho.
The recent history and fate of the Ronin-M offers an important lesson to be learned, basically that dji products are "throw away" items. Though the Ronin-M was a good gimbal, it was rendered as worthless junk when dji pulled all support for the product by halting the production of proprietary "smart" batteries and auxiliary power adapters, leaving thousands of customers in limbo. If you can afford to "throw away" a dji product and simply replace it with a new one if it happens to break (or replace it with a new model)... If you can afford to do that, then you are good to go. If not, then perhaps you should think twice about your purchase.
{my grammer is sucks}sorry for that--- For me you are my first mirrorless and cinematic teacher, things like color graded, lighting and many more , im just new beginner im gonna buy ronin m in a week, and i have sony a6300 18-105mm, 16-50mm, and there are much competition, in INDIA mostly people hired cinematographer for only weddings, not for advertisement or song 99% , competition is too tough, i feel like in cinematographer world im just few days old baby, Mind is really blown up when i saw superb cinematic videos, and thinking that when i will achieve that tone and how much time i need to get in shape, im really inspired by you, thanks and wish me luck little bit , camera is my life i just cant leave this world and join some job, i really love it like this is the world i live for, it is good to be help by you, love you sir , best wish for you that one day you will shoot video albums and movies
@YCImaging Thanks for this! I just recently got my Ronin-M. The information was helpful. Question, what are some of your suggestions for shooting a music video using a Canon 70D?
Only Question I have is if you have a screen connected tot he camera and you wanna attach it to the ronin, you'd have to balance it with that extra weight of the screen right? Thanks for this video and all the others. Great help.
I forgot to mention using a higher aperture will make those shots alot more in focus of course! Also, I balance the entire system and then adjust the roll again after inserting a HDMI cord for monitor use.
YCImaging bout time my nigga!! Thank you
which is not the best choice in low light situations. so how do you usually handle the focussing? is there a decent autofocus with the fotodiox adapter?
Slatschke No autofocus with Fotodiox adapter I use.
wrote my comment before i even watched through the whole video. great insights to the focussing process, nice! thanks
YCImaging so like a 2.8 aperture is better than a 1.8 when focusing
Thumbs Up!!!
Mounting/Balance: 00:37
Motor Settings: 05:53

Hey predator. I got one last week. Could you send me a link or reference of an hdmi cable? I don't want to mess up the motor..
afonso.ponto I used this one bro works like a charm to me www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SY2CNF6?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title&th=1

Haha, appreciate it man. I remember how frustrating it was when I first got my ronin.
An EXCELLENT guide to the Ronin. I got mine a few weeks ago and have watched a ton of tutorials. This is by far the best video on it. You covered every aspect that I considered important!
This is one of them videos you always come back to again & again 💪🏾
I'm planning on getting a ronin soon so this video helped a lot thank you
Did you ever end up getting one? I’d like to know what you think of it. Or do you know of any better alternatives? Thanks
Nice little tutorial. I have been shooting for 27 years and this little device is amazing for upgrading shots.
I'm scrambling to learn as much as possible about the Ronin since I'll need to use it for a job this weekend and your video was very informative and clear. Thanks!
Your balancing tech was 20x better than the DJI Tutorial online my dude
Hey man just had to say thank you for your straight forward info on this. I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work and energy, man!!
Just picked up my Ronin-M 2 days ago and this video really helped me out!!! Thank you for the content my man
Thank you sir, that just pushed me to get one..the focusing was the main issue I was concerned about using the Ronin ✌
If you use wider focal lengths, you have the ability to use a wider apertures (ex. 1.8)
If you use tighter focal lengths, you have to use higher apertures (ex 3.5 and up)
Dude this video rules. Finally balanced my rig right, got the sickest shots. Thank you!
The balancing part really helped me out. Thanks
Been waiting on this one for a min man, u out here doin GODs work, KEEP IT UP! 💯
I punched my screen because of your fault :(

I love you guy ! I'm French I watch all the videos, and precisely that's the question I was wondering just now! How to handle the focus when using the ronin.
auto focus, or pre set the focus because you can't change it on the move
My man u helped me so much!!! my motors were SCREAMING till I saw your video
Very informative. Just received my Ronin m today. Can't wait to try it out. Thank you for what you're doing..
i like the times in the beginning ... repetition is key and i was lookin for more on focusing tips
GREAT Tutorial! This will work for both ronins. Learned a couple new things.
Just got my very own ronin. Love the video! Very helpful, simple and practical, Thanks man!
Really appreciate everything you do man. DJI videos barely helped me, and all of your Ronin content changed everything for me.

Hey YC! Great video, been longing for this. I would appreciate it much if you can also do a shoulder rig tutorial. Thanks
Dude this was SO helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much for this - really informative. Beautiful shooting!
Thank you my G! This video should've been on the DJI Ronin page over the ones they've already got cause I actually understood this 😆👌
Great video brother, been struggling with mine very recently this got me back on target..
You didn't touch on moving subjects like the artist walking towards for you for these one take music videos. I would assume you shoot at 18mm to keep everything semi focus right? But, I know the Sony does has auto lock focus tracking not sure if it will work with that type of lens tho.
Im so deep in the archives with this one. I still gotta get one of these. I love my Zhiyun crane but wanna level up from it.
Thank you, that was helpful
Amazing info. more blessings to your career

Thanks for taking the time bro!
Great informal vid man! Thank you a lot!
Love the intro music. How can we use on our yt channels?
Solid short film.
hey YC, are you able to move the ronin M diagonally? or is it just side to side and up and down?
@YCImaging Thanks for this! I just recently got my Ronin-M. The information was helpful. Question, what are some of your suggestions for shooting a music video using a Canon 70D?
Thanks for this, bro! My Ronin M is on the way :D
Nice job! Thank you.
Much respect ✊
Great tutorial brotha.
Only Question I have is if you have a screen connected tot he camera and you wanna attach it to the ronin, you'd have to balance it with that extra weight of the screen right? Thanks for this video and all the others. Great help.
