I think it could be very useful in some situations. I had a shot last week where it was a macro shot on a dolly, and it might have come in handy, because I kept slightly over-shooting. But really, being able to add Mass when you want to have a more consistent Pan or Tilt is also very cool. I sometimes find that I can see my rotations on the wheel being un-even in longer Pans or Tilts, but if you add Mass, it should help even them out and let the weight of the wheel help you keep a consistent speed.
I've only had it a few days, and I have a list of suggestions for firmware improvements and additions, but considering how new they are, I wasn't expecting them to be so solid. I'm hoping to test the signal range soon, but I need some help. Probably will do it after Christmas. I don't consider that much drift from the R2, and I forgot to include that after 5 minutes, it didn't drift much more. There are a bunch of other features that I probably didn't cover in this video because I was trying to keep it relatively short.
Yes, you can assign it to a knob, and soon they should come out with an additional knob that can be attached to the wheels if you want it controlled separately. You can assign it in a couple of ways. There's a "Horizon" adjustment, which just trims the Roll either way, in case you want to hold a slightly different level. There's also Roll Rate, so you can do Roll moves at a specific rate without constantly turning the dial. And there's a "Roll Reset" button. I had a couple of bits of feedback on Roll control for Boyd, so we'll see if he's able to implement any of it, but I even put both Movi Pro and Ronin 2 into "Roll 360" mode, and was able to get continuous spins by controlling with the Inertia wheels.
There is an option to switch to Majestic Mode, but not Kill. On the Movi, it's different than the Ronin 2, in that you have Majestic, Dual Op, or Kill modes, while the Ronin 2 has Follow, Free, FPV, and Recenter. In the new Inertia Wheels firmware, you can add a button to your Dashboard that's called "Majestic Defer", which can hand back Majestic control to the handheld operator if you want, which is sometimes very handy for resetting a shot or just putting the wheel input on pause when you don't want it. If you're using a Ronin 2, the new Inertia Wheels Firmware allows you to assign Free, Follow, or Recenter modes... but it takes up a button for each of them if you want to assign all of them. Future firmware should enable you to access additional banks of User Buttons by pressing the Power button once and cycling through them, which will enable you to have more than just the 4 buttons.
Thanks Graham enjoyed the review, I have been using a geared head for many years and I’m curious as to how “solid” these feel, they look kinda spindly by comparison to a geared head. Would this be the case? I’d love to try a set of these out. I’m torn between these and the DJI master wheels, which are pretty robust and responsive as well as solid.. of course the nodo wheels are a lot less expensive..!
Hey, sorry, I just now saw this comment. Probably not helpful three months on, but the Inertia's are very well-made, at least as solid as my Alpha Wheels. The Master Wheels are very well made also, although very expensive, and they only work with the Ronin 2, while these Inertias work with Movi, R2, and virtual systems like CineTracer. I've had these on many real-world production sets, and they hold up extremely well. I like that they don't weigh a ton and are easy to move around. I've always said, these gimbals are made to move, so we need to be kind of nimble with our wireless focus, video, and remote control. I couldn't justify spending money on the Master Wheels, especially since I work both Movi and R2 in my small fleet of gimbals, but also, you never know what's coming up next. These should also work with the new Ronin S2, which would be interesting to have a really small remote head in certain situations.
They're excellent. So many new features have been added, and a few bugs have been addressed. I highly recommend them, and I know so many people who've tried mine and then went on to buy them for themselves.

Hey Graham - greetings from Manhattan Beach Studios - nice to see this video. Helpful!
That hard stop limit! So cool.

congrats bro, very helpful
Love it
Greaaat I want it toooo
Great review... other than the slight drift with the R2.... Any issues after using it for a bit?

I'm hoping to test the signal range soon, but I need some help. Probably will do it after Christmas.

Can you assign roll to one of the wheels or a knob if needed ? Just incase you need fix it quickly
Yes, you can assign it to a knob, and soon they should come out with an additional knob that can be attached to the wheels if you want it controlled separately. You can assign it in a couple of ways.

Can you change between the three control modes on the Movi Pro (Lock, Follow, Off)?
There is an option to switch to Majestic Mode, but not Kill. On the Movi, it's different than the Ronin 2, in that you have Majestic, Dual Op, or Kill modes, while the Ronin 2 has Follow, Free, FPV, and Recenter.

background sound on 3:18 reminds me game - rust, noslalgia... havent played in a few years :D
Graham how has the wheels performed now that you've had them for a year?
They're excellent. So many new features have been added, and a few bugs have been addressed. I highly recommend them, and I know so many people who've tried mine and then went on to buy them for themselves.
@@gfuterfas Thanks Mate!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Is there a setting to adjust "fingerprint magnetizing" of the front face? :)
Ha, you just have to clean them every once in a while. I don't have fingerprint issues, per se, but they get dusty, especially when working outside.
