I followed the instructions and the camera is balanced when I walk around and turn a corner for instance the camera stays turned in the direction I was turning. So now I can't see the screen as the camera is pointing at the 9-10 o'clock position. What am I doing wrong?!!!
Just picked this up as my first gimbal. Pretty excited about the stability + small features. Thanks for the little selfie trick there at the end, pretty nice to know.
Just purchased the DJI Ronin RS3 Mini and after watching lots of videos... and much frustration I found your video. It was a game changer. thank you so much! detailed, clear and easy to follow.
Absolute best video I've watched- I've been trying to set this thing up for ages, its been collecting dust because I haven't found any videos that help until now. Thank you!!
Thank you so much, your instructions were step by step and super clear! I tried to learn how to balance this gimbal with the video that DJI provided, it was ambiguous and very difficult to understand. A definite lifesaver, much appreciated!
Thank you Colin, best tutorial I've seen on this gimbal. Very informative and to the point... was having some struggles as I'm not the best gimbal balancer!
I am an amateur who got an RS3mini stabilizer and use it with Sony a 6700. This is a very good tutorial, very accurate and clear as you explain it clearly for understanding. I had used a Ronin S before, but your video helped a lot in stabilizing the RS3 mini! Thank you.👌
Ive watched maybe 10 different videos trying to balance my camera. None has worked, lens or not, it NEVER balances. IDK what im doing wrong or who to even reach out to.
Also! Keep in mind the position of the mounting plate attached to the camera. I found when i adjusted it slightly forwards/ backwards (where it locks onto the gimbal), it was enough to get the camera to balance.
Thank you sir I have watched many videos on youtube but I could not find this setting ISO Aperture and Focusic I understood perfectly from your video because even after connecting the cable this setting was not on but after watching your video I realized everything Thanks again
I was hoping that you would try to balance the second larger lens that you have on your desk .... but this second lens remains untouched ... probably because it cannot be balanced on the RS3 Mini?
Are you able to slide the pan and roll sliders past the 4 cm mark? I just got a unit but looks like it only slides from 0 to 4cm even though the ruler marks reaches 5cm
Thanks so much! I had the original Ronin-S and thought I'd be able to set it up rather easily, but found it to be pretty difficult out of the box. Your video helped make this process much easier!
Never saw so clear presentation on youtube. I have the Carne M3 but when i remove the camera from the gimble i cant attached the camera to a tripod sice the plate has no option to do so. if i remove the plate i need to re-balace. Does the rs3 mini plate solve this issue?
I use an a7III. PC remote is greyed out, but it IS ON. In video section 14:31 you say set"PC REMOTE CONTROL METHOD, to USB. I do not have that menu option anywhere ?
Great video. Unfortunately, I think I am going to return my RS3 Mini. The Sony alpha 7RV seems to push the limits weight wise. The camera kept loosening from the plate despite turning the nut as tight as I could without stripping it.
Thank you for this video it's quite informative but there is one problem that I have and I'm hoping you can give me some help with. Own in Nikon Z 50 camera and I'm having trouble connecting it via Bluetooth clear what advice do you have for me? I have contacted both Nikon and DJI and none of them are giving me any definitive answers they both say that you have to speak to the other company to get answers
Can you take out completely the part of the axis motor where it joints to the handgrip? ie separate the handgrip from the top part to make it more portable. I’m pretty sure there must be a way to take those out of the rail somehow, idk if it’s easy though. Thank you!
I was all set to make a purchase of one of these but figured I'd do a bit of research first. Sadly my cellphone isn't compatible so I can't even initialize it. Seems to be an issue with pretty much all gimbals 🙁
This is one of the reasons + the personal data you're forced to allow access (data that a gimbal doesn't need to function) is why these Chinese gimbals are not good to use. A security firm blog has shown the DJI app sends your data to Chinese servers. Zhiyun forces activation as well.
This video was very very helpful, thank you so much! The explanations were clear and easy to follow! I'm a bit sad that my Fujifilm X-T3 is not supported wirelessly but I still really love the quality and size of this gimbal. Thanks again!
Hopefully you'll see this- I am having an issue with mine when I go to balance it. It looks like everything works fine until I try to tip the gimbal to the right or left then the tilt arm starts scraping against the pan arm. I am not sure if my camera is too heavy for this (I have the a7sii with a standard mid range zoom) but it seems like I can only get this balanced by having the various arms at the lowest possible setting. Any idea what I may be doing wrong??
Question. My room axis balance which is the second one you do here. I can get it pretty level, but if I attempt to tilt the camera at all it always bounces back to center weather I tilt if left or right. Is that normal? Or should it hold that position I tilt it to? Wondering if somethings wrong with my gimbal or if this is normal. Only does this on the roll axis. The second one you adjusted.
Blue tooth not working for me. I have A7S III Bluetooth on and connected to camera but not working. I checked to make sure the maping was correct too. Any thoughts?
This was helpful although I'm having a hard time vertically balancing the Sony RX100 VII, is it TOO light? I can't get the camera to balance at all in that first pointing upward position and the roll is troublesome, I can't push it over any more to the left, it needs just a little more. I can get it all close and the motors get it closer but I still feel like I'm missing something.
What could I be doing wrong when no matter what position I put the tilt axis on no matter how far back or forward the camera does not stay where I place it it only goes forward or back. I got it where I can put it straight up, but not into any other position Cannon m50 mark 2 with 10-18 mm lense and mounting adapter and it’s less than the 4.4 lbs for sure

This gimbal can’t balance for shit

Absolute best video I've watched- I've been trying to set this thing up for ages, its been collecting dust because I haven't found any videos that help until now. Thank you!!
You singlehandedly helped me learn vertical setup. I appreciate you.

Anytime
Excellent! tutorial much more comprehensive than the DJI tutorials well done!!👏
Thank you Colin, best tutorial I've seen on this gimbal. Very informative and to the point... was having some struggles as I'm not the best gimbal balancer!
This is the best gimbal balancing video… ever! After 5 years of fighting to balance my gimbal, now it all makessense. Thank you.
DJI should pay this man handsomely.
play this video on .5 speed to make it easier to follow.
I constantly refer to this video because I can't seem to memorize how to switch between tall and horizontal no matter how hard I try to remember!
Lol, you’re not the only one :) this video will still be here

Perfect tutorial, thanks!
this is the best instruction teach you how to balance this thing. greatly appreciate.
This was EXACTLY what I needed to see! Thank you for the awesome tutorial and help!
Ive watched maybe 10 different videos trying to balance my camera. None has worked, lens or not, it NEVER balances. IDK what im doing wrong or who to even reach out to.
Same!! But I think mine resolved now, though. Actually!
@@TheMaan2008I had the same trouble but realised you have to lock the other axis’s and balance them in turn one at a time
Also! Keep in mind the position of the mounting plate attached to the camera. I found when i adjusted it slightly forwards/ backwards (where it locks onto the gimbal), it was enough to get the camera to balance.
Same I’m about to send this shit back
@@CapturedxCade you have to balance each axis one at a time locking the others as you go then it will work😌
Thank you sir I have watched many videos on youtube but I could not find this setting ISO Aperture and Focusic I understood perfectly from your video because even after connecting the cable this setting was not on but after watching your video I realized everything Thanks again
You are most welcome
Calibration can be tricky the first time or two, but if you follow this video and do it a few times, you can't go wrong.
Im so glad it's compatible with my Sony A7S III. It will be my first gimbal.
Thank you so much for your instructions!! Do you know how can I take pictures by clicking the red bottom not just recording videos?
Impressed by all these features, possible in a mini gimbal
thanks I just bought this gimbal, this was the perfect video to help me get started!
Glad I could help!
Great tutorial. Had just got my new gimbal. Everything works fine now!
Great to hear!
thank you!!! silly question: can i use this gimbal with a smartphone, instead buying a dedicated one?
I just bought this for the sony zv e10 and it's amazing !
thanks smith, very halpfull for me as a beginner
Just got this gimbal, and really appreciate your instructions. Thank you.
Great and simple instructions. The manufacturer over complicated the balancing part and I had second guessed myself.
I know not everyone is a fan of vertical shooting, but like it or not, certain contents now call for it and it's good to have this convenient option.
Fantastic tutorial! So clear and direct! Thank you
very useful, just got mine gimbal today!!!
Heading to Cuba with it Monday to make some content
I have the same setup as you with a sigma 35mm f1.4 and its still left side heavy.
I was hoping that you would try to balance the second larger lens that you have on your desk .... but this second lens remains untouched ... probably because it cannot be balanced on the RS3 Mini?
You're the best "user-manual" there is!!!! Take care and thank you (I own the RS3 Pro, but this might be an interesting "extra" gimbal...)
Thx
Can you show how to balance it vertically? For some reason, mine isn’t balancing
Thanks, you are like a great teacher, many thanks.
Your tip for turning Bluetooth off so the dial works to control ISO helped for my Canon R5 too. Thanks!
Super duper learning video. Thanx a lot
Hmm how you setup the 1020f4 power zoom via Bluetooth? Or cable
Clean and clear, Great tutorial
super clear instructions, Very good video. thanks
This video should be linked by DJI as their official explanation video for us dummies 🙂 Great job mate!
I hate the triple tap selfie mode, is there a way to disable that function or change it?
Do you think a sony fe 24-105mm lens will be too heavy for this gimbal? I really want to buy it but am unsure due to my lens...
Are you able to slide the pan and roll sliders past the 4 cm mark? I just got a unit but looks like it only slides from 0 to 4cm even though the ruler marks reaches 5cm
How does it handle with the larger lenses? Zoom lenses? Like the one sitting on the left in the video.
So you can’t control the iso or the focus or aperture with blue tooth? You must conect the cable for control that???? 🙏🙏 help please
Thank you sir for a great video. Easy to follow and very informative 🙏🏼
Great video!😃 My playback on my Sony a7iii doesn’t work when using the cable
cable.🤷♂️
Thanks so much! I had the original Ronin-S and thought I'd be able to set it up rather easily, but found it to be pretty difficult out of the box. Your video helped make this process much easier!
Can I put this on a full size tripod and shoot night skies?
Can you connect the RS3 and DJI mic at the same time?
Hi👋🏻, its the same for the sony zv e10? Thanks
Are you able to use/access the joystick in full operation in vertical mode?
You should , yes
Great video. But none of the Bluetooth functions worked with my A6400
Thank you very much for your instructions. I can now balance my Sony FX3 & Tamron 28-75 lens.
Never saw so clear presentation on youtube. I have the Carne M3 but when i remove the camera from the gimble i cant attached the camera to a tripod sice the plate has no option to do so. if i remove the plate i need to re-balace. Does the rs3 mini plate solve this issue?
From srilanka.thanks lots sir for your valuable review
Thank you so much for informations. I learned it in a hour 😅
this is more easier to understand how to set up DJI RS3 mini, for beginner like me its super easy and direct.
Great Job! I just got a mini and this was very helpful.
Really so helpful sir❤❤
Best review ever. Thank you
I use an a7III. PC remote is greyed out, but it IS ON. In video section 14:31 you say set"PC REMOTE CONTROL METHOD, to USB. I do not have that menu option anywhere ?

Please how do I fix or change battery if the battery is not strong enough for use
Order a new one from DJI
My canon R50 has a hard time connecting to Bluetooth with this thing.. do you ever have Bluetooth issues?
You should have given more screen time to pan motor balancing. I couldn’t even understand the position that i am suppose to aim for
Can you balance a phone with a cage on the mini
Great video love by far the best with setting up this Gimbal thank you sir! :)
That was an excellent video. Thank you for posting. Liked and subscribed.
Can I link a Sony A7 mkii with RS3 Mini using an USB cable?
Best video so far. Thanks brother
Thanks so much, I was having trouble with the balance set up. You made it to easy. My new RS3 is awesome thanks to you!🔥

And the cable isn't plugged in right? Not sure, but that might mess with it
Hey Colin! Great video, Do you think one could add an external monitor like maybe an Atmos to the RS Mini. My eyes aren't what they used to be
Sure you could
Will the dial work if it’s Bluetooth connected? Or should it be wired?
Good job bro can I ask you about nikon 7500 how can adjust to jimbl & phone
Sorry, I don't know, I've never owned a Nikon
I have question zve10 18-105 genius lens works ?
Incredibly useful, thanks!
Thank you, very helpful and informative! It's been a few years since I have hooked one up! Thanks again!

How you are focusing without motor but also not on lens

How can i use the cable for a7rii if i dont have a usb option
Nice and detailed guide. Thank you.
