Connecting the Ronin S to Canon 90d
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 окт 2024
- The Canon 90D is now compatible with the DJI Ronin S for follow focus and starting and stopping recording. Tim runs through connecting the camera to the gimbal with the MCC-B micro USB cable. Unfortunately, DJI doesn't provide all the information you need in one place, so I've pieced it all together from the Ronin S manual, the compatibility list (June 2020), a DJI 'How to' video and other RUclips videos for other camera systems. Hope it helps!

I tested the gimbal with the Canon 24-105mm f4 IS II which is on the compatibility list. I then found that the Canon 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM and Canon 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS STM lenses also worked, even though they aren't on the list.
Unfortunately, when shooting this video, the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, Canon 35mm f2 and Canon 50mm f1.8 lenses wouldn't work with the follow focus wheel. But you can still use them and the start / stop function on the Ronin S still works.
Most of the video was shot on a Canon 750D (Rebel T6i) with a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, as I was using the 90d for demonstration purposes.
Please feel free to comment with your experiences, feedback or questions.
Thanks!

I've been scouring the internet to find a video to help me connect my 80D to the ronin-s. Thank you so much for the help and for putting it all together in one place!
You’re welcome! So glad it helped. What kind filming do you do?
What cord u use I have part 12
Hey Tim very useful video thanks for taking the time to share. I got the follow focus to work with my EOS-R but haven't as yet made much use of it. I must admit that I hadn't spotted the focus speed so I will go and check that now.
I haven't seen one of your videos for ages, I think it was another Ronin video around the time that I got mine when it first came out. Good to see you are still posting, keep it up. Dave
Hi Dave, great to hear from you again. Hope you’re enjoying the EOS R. I had to take a break from filming for a few months, but am trying to get back on it.
Excellent and thorough explanation! Thanks. Bit late to the party but just discovered the 18-55mm kit lens is also compatible with the focus wheel.
Canon 90D + Sigma 18-35 + Ronin SC = BEAST MODE
I can’t find the list that your talking about with the lens compatibility
Hi there. The last camera and lens compatibility list I can see from DJI is from June 2020, which is the one linked in the video description. I had a quick look on their website today, and they put out some release notes last week, which you can check out here... dl.djicdn.com/downloads/Ronin-S/20210128/Ronin-S_Release_Notes_en.pdf
@@dslrrookie6808 thanks so much for the reply and help
Awesome video. I have the canon 90d with the Sigma 18-35mm and the focus wheel works on my Ronin S when I turn off auto focus, and switch to Manual on my 18-35mm. it should work now 👍
Chris O Baby - Great, Chris, I’ll check that out.
DSLR Rookie any update? Did this work? Please reply as I’m considering buying this lens and it may be a dealbreaker if it doesn’t work.
UPNORTHOF60 It works just make sure you update your Ronin S. 👍🏾
UPNORTHOF60 Hi there. I’ve not been able to have a proper test with it yet, but just had a quick go this evening, and it does seem to work with the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 if you turn the lens AF on (physical switch on the lens) and the camera Movie Servo AF option to Disable.
DSLR Rookie thanks you for the reply! 🙏 😀
I appreciate keep up , will be watching , and I am inspired ,your articulated explanation superb ..Joshua Boit a Kenyan student
Thank you Joshua. Really appreciate that.
So, I got it all set up as followed. Record button on the gimbal works. But the focus wheel doesn't. I'm using the 18-55 kit lens and the DJI site says the lens is compatible. Software is all up to date. Any ideas? I just tried it with my 50 MM lens and it works good. And that lens was not on the compatible list
This is a great video! You nailed it. I did everything step by step and my focus is working accordingly. I feel like I need to get used to manually focusing without unfocusing as I’m spinning the wheel to focus (if that makes sense) I’m using mine to shot music videos by the way. So my lens was not on the list but it work perfectly! I’m using the canon 18-135 nano lens. Thanks again for this video!
Great stuff. Remember, you can experiment with the focus speed on the app once everything is setup. I need to do another video as I’ve since learned the results with Movie servo AF off and the lens set with AF on gets great results.
You just saved me 700 dollars I was about to order it but my main lenses are sigma 18-35mm and 50mm 1.8. Thanks
You can still use those lenses in terms of balancing and stopping and starting recording, it’s just the follow focus function that is the issue. What kind of video do you shoot?
I m just Starting and i need it for promo videos for restaurants. And food videography. Im going with the ak4500. It has more versatility and free follow focus motor motion e
Remote. I tried it today it's just wonderful. But really thanks
Brilliant. All the best with shooting the promo videos. Hope it goes really well.
Awesome
Great video, thank you very much. I hope your video is able to reach out to many more people! Great help
Thanks Munene, really appreciate that.
Thanks for the information. I have just upgraded to the 90d, and using the ronin sc. Seems to work fine, however I am using the canon 24mm stm lens which is great as its small, however not too good for vlogging, due to the 90d crop factor. Apart from that all ok, for gimbal shots. Thanks for sharing. New sub here.
Great, thanks very much. Yep, unfortunately 24mm isn’t great for vlogging on a crop sensor - I like the look of 14mm for that. But you’ll be able to get some good results for other stuff with the 24mm f2.8, I’m sure. If you do want to vlog check out the video I did on lenses for vlogging and small spaces. Enjoy your new 90d 👍
Your tutorial has been the best thing I've found so far on RUclips! Thank you!! I have a question though, I've followed your steps and have the cable connected to the gimbal and my camera but the light next to the focus wheel is still flashing red.. camera settings also is not showing up in the app. any idea how to fix this?
Thanks Steph, really appreciate that. What lens are you using? If you have a look at some of the other comments on this thread, I think there are a couple of people that have had the same problem you seem to be having. I don't know what the fix is yet. I know one of them had sent his Ronin S back to DJI to see if it's something that needs repairing, but I haven't heard what the outcome was yet. Sorry!
The camera settings won't come up on the DJI phone app until the camera is properly synced with the gimbal (indicated by the light by the focus wheel turning green), I think.
Thanks for the fast replies! I'm using a Canon 50mm, I'll have a look through the comments now and see if I can figure it out :)
Think there was more on this posted on the ‘DJI Ronin-S & Ronin-SC User Group’ on Facebook, but don’t think I’ve seen anyone post a solution on there yet.
Just seen on Facebook that @Bigums15 had a similar problem, and had to send the gimbal back to DJI for a repair. Looks like he’s had it back and it’s now working (thanks for posting the video on Facebook, Bruce 👍).
Thanks a lot! You hit a topic I couldn't figure out !!! :)
Hi nice video, how was your experience with Sigma 18-35 1.8 for video with Ronin-S and 90D?
Hey, Alok. I love the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8. I actually bought it mainly for gimbal use, and it’s probably the lens I use most at the moment. The images look great, and the Ronin S can handle its weight no problem at all. I haven’t been impressed with the autofocus when I used it with the Canon 750D (Rebel T6i) - had some problems with hunting, but haven’t really tested it much with my newer Canon 90D yet, which has much better autofocus. Sadly, connecting the Ronin S to the camera with the cable doesn’t allow you to use the follow focus for the Sigma 18-35 at the moment, so you either have to risk using autofocus or carefully use manual focus, as I point out in the video. Here’s hoping DJI will be able to expand the list of compatible EF lenses in future. 👍. What setup are you using? How do you find it?
I’m about to purchase the Canon 90d with the DJI Ronin S. I’m having an issue figuring out which lens to start with. I think I’ll go with the 10-18mm. Thanks for the video. I’ve already watched it twice. I’ll watch it again once my package comes.
Thanks Naquan. Check out my video on lenses for small spaces - that might help you weigh up the options a bit. The 10-18mm is a solid option for vlogging, but if you’re looking for something with more of a cinematic look, then the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 is a superb option. Hope you find the right solution.
@@dslrrookie6808 well, most of my work will come from filming, though I portion is also dedicated towards photography. I’m trying to figure out how necessary is the compatibility when filming. You mentioned that the Sigma 18-35 isn’t compatible. Would I then switch to auto focus?
@@itsnobledean9450 I wasn't able to get the Sigma 18-35mm working with the Ronin S's focus pulling in this video, but apparently, it can be done by changing the focus setting in the camera, and then switching the lens autofocus on. I haven't been able to make a video about it yet, but it is possible, and I've tried it myself. Some gimbal users try to use the lens at a set focus and just try to maintain the same physical distance from their subject or actually use movement towards and away with the subject coming in and out of focus as an artistic choice (especially for music videos). Either way, the Sigma 18-35 is a solid choice for cinematic stuff, documentaries and music videos. Check out YCImaging's video on 'How to focus while using a gimbal'.
hello love the video i was wondering if you could help me with my canon .. i have a canon t7 dslr and a ronin sc gimbal.. i would like to purchase the cable that connects them however ive been so confused when looking online for it. do you have any links that could help to purchasing?
Does your Ronin S lock mode work when keeping the trigger depressed, also is the foorage smooth at 25fps. Mine is jittery as he k. I have a 90D and Sigma 1i-35mm lens
Great video! Very informative. Would you know about the Ronin SC? I've been using the 700d for the last few years, I've got a Ronin SC and I'm ready to upgrade my camera to something a bit better and preferably with something I can plug into the Ronin SC! Great to see a Welsh RUclips video too 🙂🎥
Ha ha, thanks Dean. Are you based in Wales too? Christopher Frost Photography is a great channel for researching lenses - he’s got a great channel 🏴. I don’t know about the Ronin SC, though DJI should have a compatibility list on their website. But I would recommend looking at the just released Ronin RSC - it’s a new version and one of the cool features is that it folds up to make it even more compact for chucking it in your bag.
@@dslrrookie6808 yes, I own a recording studio in Newport, South Wales. Where abouts are you based? I already own the Ronin SC, the question was more about the comparability of the 90d with the gimbal, as I am looking to buy the 90D. How do you find the AF on the 90D? I was torn between the eos RP and the 90D, but have chosen to stay with the DSLR instead of mirrorless. Thanks, Dean
@@deanrichards6334 sorry, Dean, I should have read your post more carefully! Sorry mate. Yep, I’d check the DJI website to check compatibility. I’m based in Pembrokeshire.
@@deanrichards6334 I’ve found the Autofocus on the 90d brilliant for video - I used to have a 750D, so the dual pixel autofocus is a big upgrade. Definitely less focus hunting (I’ve not noticed any for an interview type set up). There’s been a lot of talk on forums about the 90d’s AF for still photography, and there’s chatter about recalibrating lenses etc. I barely do any stills photography, so I’m not much help on that side of things. I did have some problems with focus on stills with face tracking keep picking up on foreground elements. But I haven’t tried using the single point or zone options yet. 2020 has been really hard for getting out to shoot stuff.
@@dslrrookie6808 no problem 🙂. Ah great, I did a bit of work down that way when I was doing the pub and holiday park circuit, lovely part of the country! Take care and keep up the great work! Best, Dean 🎶
Hey! Do you know if the standard Canon 90D kit lens (18-55mm) works with the focus wheel?
Sorry Benjamin, I wasn’t able to test that one.
Yes, it does.
Loved your tutorial. But question... All plugged up and still no camera setting on app. 😢 any troubleshooting ideas?
Great video. Can you share instructions for connecting 90D with RS2? Thanks in advance.
Thanks! Sorry I don’t have an RS2, so I can’t help with that, I’m afraid. All the best.
very helpful! thank you!
Hello There, Saw this video as I have a canon 90D and I was planning to buy my first dji gimbal. Wanted to know if RS4 will work with this camera. The DJI website says that its compatible for all functions other than focus which to me seems be a problem. Can anyone help me out plz?
So the EOS R5C is still a no go? bummer. I was even going to look at the new gimbal but that is a no go too from the forums.
Will it work with Canon t3i? Works like a charm with Zhiyun Crane 2
Hi can you provide a link for that cable please the Ronin S essentials k=it doesnt include this cable, thank you
Hey Chris, the cable you want is the MCC-B cable, if you’re using the Ronin S with the Canon EOS 90D. I don’t know what country you’re in, but you should be able to find them on the DJI Store or on Amazon.
Hi Tim, Is the focus wheel an "add-on" ? Also, the lenses in the "approved list are $2000 (cnd) , the EFS 10-18mm is a lot cheaper, how was the vid quality with the 10-18 ?? thx !!
Hi Dave. I haven’t used the EFS 10-18 with the gimbal much, I tend to use the Sigma 18-35 f1.8. If you want to see what the EFS 10-18mm footage looks like hand held with a Canon 90d, check out my video on Lenses for vlogging and small spaces.
Hello Sir.
I got a canon 90d for my personal use which lanes is good for me and what model is yours pleaase?
I am using a Rokinon manual lens. When I connect the MCC B cable and turn on the camera, none of the buttons on the ronin or the camera work. The display shows busy. I just want to use the record button. Does anyone know what is going on?
There is no such cable included with the RONIN MMC and I think you said you need 2 cables? I bought my camera and the ROnin S in 2022 so I wonder if there were changes and it only needs 1 cable. It came with a USBC to USBC which says it is for SOny. Then a USBC to Mini USB is what I use, but cannot control anything on the camera. There is really no good information on this combination other than what you have out, but even that is years old. Strange
Thank you for your help!! Cheers
No problem, have fun shooting video 👍
Very nice brother, can we use this gimbal with Canon 90D + 18-135mm Lens ?
Much appreciated
Mine did not come with this cable for the 90-D and DJI has no clue of what i am talking about after one hour in chat mode with DJI
Is that what you call bad language?Where do I get the cable if DJI has no clue of what I am talking about?
same issue ... anytime i see the cable online no one takes the time to zoom on both ends to know for sure if itll work .. i dont know what cable to look for.. i have a canon t7 ..
Same issue, no compatible cable in the box for the 90D
@@BottleTheWater ouch lol
Would work with 24-70mm ii 2.8 canon?
thanks for the info
Thanks. Hope it’s been helpful.
Hey, have you been able to connect the gimbal to your canon eos 750d?
I don’t believe the 750d is compatible for linking with a cable for the focus wheel, sorry!
Great info
Thanks very much.
Hi! My Canon Rp it conected with the app on my phone alreadly but when I hit a record button on the gimbal it didn't work:((
I updated the newest firware of gimbal and 1.4.0 on Rp alreadly.
I don't know where the problem coming from. Everybody help me pls!
Cable
link to but cable?
So you need a focus wheel yo record
I attached my 90d to the R S but still no connectivity! I bought the focus wheel after the fact and an MCC B cable but nothing. All setting are as you described, but still no connectivity.
bigums15 - what lens are you using it with?
DSLR Rookie Canon 18-135.
Ugh! It’s the 3.5-5.6 USM!
Same here.. i have sigma 35mm:( when i push the record button, it says busy. Can you plz help?
@@gduproduction I had to send mine into DJI for repair. I don't think you can troubleshoot this one away. Took about a week.
i cant get the control cable to work with my 550d do you think its just the camera or am i missig something?
I’m pretty sure the 550d isn’t compatible, Georgee, sorry! You can check on the DJI a website - there’s a list of compatible cameras.
@@dslrrookie6808 yeah i know it’s not on the list but i think a few that arent on there still work
@@dslrrookie6808 Just got a 90D so hopefully it works now any tips on setting the camera up
@@georgeefilms2625 Hi Georgee - so glad you’ve picked up a 90d - congratulations! It’s a great camera. Have you already got the basics down in terms of how shutter speed is set depending on your frame rate, how to use aperture, ISO etc.? If not, you can check out some basics in my ‘where to start’ video... m.ruclips.net/video/fY6zvjkQ_fo/видео.html from about 5:18’ on. There are also some links in that video’s description to a more detailed explanation by Matti Haapoja.
If you’re already comfortable with all that stuff, and just asking about specific settings for the 90d, I think the only extra things I do is use the custom mode settings for slow motion - mode 1 for 120fps and mode 2 for 60fps (with the equivalent shutter speeds), and make sure that I toggle the information button when setting up shots to monitor sound levels, check the histogram etc.
Was there anything particular you had in mind? What kind of shooting are you planning on doing? What lens(es) do you use? Would love to hear what you’re interested in.
@@dslrrookie6808 Yes the 90D is amazing big step up from the 550 in quality and performance i will check out that video for sure
How do you access mode 2 for 60?
Planning on shooting a bunch of cinematic videos and pictures of the things i love mountain biking etc.. also probably will do some travel vlogging at some point when i can
I've got the basics sorted i was just wondering about specifics like which shooting works best log, cinestyle etc.. what you've found works best for a cinematic feel, I use the canon 50 F1.4 ultrasonic and the 70-300 ultrasonic EF IS and a 10-18 EF-S IS at the mo looking to invest in some L glass in the future hopefully
Also wondered what you use to edit with this machine
want to connect canon 800d with dji sc
sir my canon m6 mark ii is not connecting with dji ronin sc through type-c cable. please make a video on it.
Hi Rahul. Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't have access to a Canon 6 mk ii and the DJI Ronin SC. Hope you figure out how to get your gear working.
Wow dude, you just flew the first part! How do I attach the camera?
This wasn’t a balancing tutorial. There are loads of those already on RUclips, just have a quick search 👍.
You are rushing through with this.As DJI did with the point of not getting any answers.I
Just got a Canon 18-135 STM, and still no connectivity. 😡
Hi, sorry you’re struggling with it. Did you update the firmware on both the camera and the gimbal?
@@dslrrookie6808 Yeah... everything is updated. Don't know what's wrong, if anything at all. I suspect that I won't get help from DJI because it's on their compatibility list.
bigums15 - weird. It works fine for me. Hope you can figure it out soon.
@DSLR Rookie Me Too!
