How to Use the Ronin RS4 | DJI Ronin RS4 Pro

  • Опубликовано: 17 авг 2024
  • The DJI Ronin RS series gimbals have allowed indie filmmakers to do what was literally impossible back in 2005. Unless you had the money to pay a steadicam operator or the time to lay dolly tracks that is.
    The newest Ronin gimbal was just released. It's the RS4 and it doesn't disappoint: Motors have been improved. New functions along with a teflon coating to make axis adjustments a little easier. Better camera mounting plates...and more.
    This lesson does a basic walk through of balancing, usage and the menu for the Ronin RS4 Pro.

    14:48 incorrect. If the arm is extended and could not be closed completely, but in settings you set "fully close"the system will try to close softly, if there is no room to close it will go back and close with a gap. DJI thought about that and done self check process.

      @@BlakeCDMedia the RS2 Pro did fine for me. There were some nice little improvements with the three over the two, but if you get the RS2 pro, it will definitely handle the pocket 4K. Just watch my video about balancing it. The temptation can be to jump to counterweights and such and you don’t need them. You just have to know how to approach balancing correctly.

      Green is good. I think the mode you’re after is gimbal auto check. That’s in the settings menu and it will move it all over the place testing your balance and gimbal in a detailed way.

    Thank you so much for your tutorial. Can you please help me to understand about settings on turn off you are talking at 14:45. From the factory my Ronin RS4 Pro was trying to completely fold on turn off with my heavy Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K and the roll arm smashed the lower arm. This happened 2-3 times. Only after that I discovered this setting. You clearly state 'if this hits this arm you gonna damage your gimbal'. Can you please confirm that my gimbal is already damaged because of what happened and should I send it back to DJI? I am really worried now.

    • @writedirect
      @writedirect  5 дней назад

      Hey man...So I'm only going off what DJI said which was that damage could occur if that happened. The default setting should have been the partial fold--At least I thought that's how mine was at default. Not the complete fold up. Sorry. Ugh, I know the feeling.

      You might have to buy a multi camera control cable separately. I don’t use one of those as I’m not messing with camera control. I’m just using a focus motor and that’s it. DGI sells them for like 20 bucks.

    I love your videos and watch all of them. I just cannot seem to make this balance. I am using a Rokinon Cinema Lens on a Blackmagic 6k Pro. I know you said this Gimbal can handle everything, but maybe my Lens is just too big. I've tried everything. I'm usually good with all of this technical stuff. I've seen your other video where you balance it on the RS3. I still couldn't do it. I film in two days and was really hoping to get this thing working by then, but maybe I'll just stick to tripod shots. Still - excellent video! I love when you can just put it in any direction and it will stay. It's like magic.

    • @writedirect
      @writedirect  Месяц назад

      Thanks for your support! If you watched both videos, you know what to do. So two things: 1) You might want to counter balance the back. Or position anything on your camera cage to push weight to the back. And worst case scenario, you can shoot and get decent shots without a perfect balance. I did that plenty of times on my last film. it won’t work for fancy gimbal moves. But for simple tracking, dolly in and out, stuff like that, it’ll do it.

      @@writedirect Thanks for your response. So you're saying, just with "simple tracking" moves, it will balance? I just had counterweights delivered to my place. I still can't do it. But if you're saying it will work with simple tracking, then you're saying it will give me stabilization? Because I don't need to so anything fancy with my gimbal. I just need stabilization. We both know how stable these blackmagic cameras can be without a gimbal, ha ha ha.
