Thanks for the kind words @Bala Krishna 😃 These videos take quite a bit of time and resources to create - and working a full time jobs takes priority. 👍
I can't express to you how grateful I am for this review, well produced, laid out and easy to understand. I really appreciate your use of the heavier bodied canon which I shoot with and the heavier lenses. Keep them coming!
Best review I have seen, with lot's of extra tips thrown in. Great to see how many of the shots were actually achieved. Very relaxed presentation style and beautiful location choice. Lovely dog too. What's not to like!
Thanks so much for the kind words @Michael Cuthbert 😃 The location is something I often take for granted - as it's only a few steps from my back door. 🤔
I can't tell you how many videos I've watched on ronin-s functionality, use, and so called "comprehensive reviews". Yours, without a doubt, is the best I've seen. I'm sure it took considerable work to put this video together. Thank you.
Thanks so much @moronbrothersKY 😃😃😃 Really appreciate the feedback and great to hear that I'm not alone in my distaste for the over use of slow-motion 👍👍👍
One of the best field reviews I've watched. You're clear, to the point and held my attention without me feeling the need to move on. Beautiful location, reminds me of home!
Thanks @Peteonthebeat 😃 Greatly appreciate the feedback👍 I haven't sold mine solely because it's depreciated so darn fast - I can't believe how little a use Ronin-S is selling for currently. It's worth more to me than what I can sell it for - so, it remains part of my kit.
@@neilfisher Yes. The Ronin-S is an amazing piece of gear. And your production quality really stands out. Can you please let me know about the actual piece of gear you use to hold the 2nd tripod that can also be a monopod? Thanks! Stay Safe! POTB
The pieces that allows a monopod, or smaller tripod, to be mounted on a to sturdy tripod is a Shape baseplate (don’t know the exact model) and two Manfrotto super clamps... plus a few extra nuts and bolts to secure everything together. It’s surprising strong, but I wouldn’t trust it with anything bigger than a Canon 5 series, or a camera of equivalent weight 👍
Neil I know this is nearly a year old but we are considering getting one of these units. It was my entry to your channel. Really well done. Top notch reasoning, sharing of experiences and rationale, and great looking b-roll. We need to use something like an 80-200 all the time for aviation shots so hearing you mention it was possible despite the -S specs was really eye opening.
Thanks so much @AeroSpaceNews.com 👍 It may be a year, but it's perfect timing to grab one - as DJI recently updated the firmware to add a few fun features from the Ronin-SC 😃😃😃
This was perfectly timed with the price drop this week. I would have liked to see how you carry it, I do worry it will take a lot of space in my backpack. And I have to say you channel is a hidden gem. Love the content, the footage and the general feel of your videos!
Thanks so much for the kind words @Varyag 😃 The best way I can describe how I pack the Ronin-S... is very awkwardly. Using a F-stop tilopa with the large ICU the battery and mini tripod are stored in the upper flap pocket and the gimbal platform sits atop the ICU wrapped in whatever clothing I happen to be bringing I'll try and snap a photo the next time I head out. 👍
I wish you would produce more videos, you are a superb presenter and videographer. Your sound is second to none by the way, it's rare that I notice just how awesome my headset is whilst watching RUclips videos. A real pleasure to watch and super jealous of the environment you get to shoot in!! I would throttle for the opportunity to shoot in Canada :)
@@neilfisher Absolutely :) Especially now that most people have access to at least semi-decent sound reproduction. Can't wait to see some more GWN videos!
Thank you for this tutorial. Other You-Tubers make it sound, almost, impossible to use for beginners. I just bought one today and plan to use it tomorrow. I passed on a “Glidecam” for this. Thank you again!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
What an amazing and engaging tutorial, thanks ever so much, Neil! - We've just started filming our weekly (non-public) church services, and I'm discovering more and more ingenious quality features of my good, old, and previously very rarely used for video Canon EOS 80D. I got the Ronin S yesterday, and after your video, I've just ordered the PZ-E1 (you've squeezed that one in between the camera and the Ronin, which made me go "yes!!!" when I saw it) and a decent tripod/monopod (Sirui KN1 Carbon + G-10KX) to beef things up a bit in comparison to our first try (which was just taken on my Note 10+) - you're a fantastic teacher, and your sense of humor (you must be CEO of Tripod-Artistry!) and enthusiasm for what you are doing are exemplary. VERY well-done, Sir!
Hahaha... thanks @HarvyDanger Films 😃 Just speculating, it's likely because the frequency that I upload isn't the same as most other RUclips channels. 😀
Thank you so much for an incredible and humble review!! Rather than usually skipping to the part I want to see for its function, I enjoyed every second of this video had to offer. Thank you again, you just gained a subscriber! Looking forward to more!
This video is freaking incredible. I can tell how much work you put into this thank you. Also what tripod are you using. I think I would like to purchase it.
Many thanks @Jerry Hernandez 👍 I very much appreciate the kind words. The tripod system I use is a Sachtler FSB-6T fluid head and Gitzo Systematic GT3542LS legs. I've been very happy with the combination of head and legs - ruclips.net/video/2x0jIaRdKOo/видео.html
I just ordered one of these a couple hours ago. I love the porta-crane idea. I have a 12' Kessler, without a pan/tilt head... until now. Thanks for a great video!
Ooooo... very jealous of that 12' Kessler @Spotfire 😃 Not sure if you saw the most recent Ronin-S firmware upgrade that enables control via a PS4 or Xbox controller - I immediately thought of crane use 👍👍👍
Great video ! Cheers. bought mine a week ago and learning everything there is about the gimbal. You've mentioned all the lenses I have in my kit! Very excited!
Thanks @alvin brown 😃 The lack of subscribers is without undoubtedly because of my low upload frequency - RUclips's algorithm want's creators creating crap often not quality seldom 😆😆😆
Thank you for the great review, honest, realistic and straight to the point in the field! Super helpful as I'm seeing what all the Ronin-S can do before I purchase
Many thanks @000Rehage000 😃 Producing this single video took nearly two months - hard to squeeze the creation of RUclips videos in between working full time and raising children 😆 ... having said that, there are more video in the pipeline 👍 👍 👍
astonishing clips. I have the same setup beside the lens, I'm using 24-105mm f4, and I gotta say it's not just the camera and the Ronin S that gets you those clips you saw up there. I've been struggling to get shake free and smooth footage even after slowing things down. Neil is no beginner, there is more to it than just a gimbal and camera. One thing that caught my attention is how did you control the focus then? they are so on point and silky smooth.
Nice presentation. Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge. I will follow instructions while operating same gimble I have. Good luck for your future videos.
Most thorough review I have seen of the Ronin S so far. Thanks for demonstrating multiple lenses on it. I have the Panasonic Lumix G9 and I use a couple of different lenses. Seeing that you mounted and balanced some pretty long and heavy lenses on it, I believe the Leica 100-400 telephoto zoom lens should work. I would just need to balance it while the zoom is half way between. I would like to experiment with some alfred Hitchcock effect filming as well as be able to zoom in and out while filming nature from a distance while maintaining smooth footage. It's too difficult to achieve that manually zooming by hand. Panasonic only makes one power zoom lens that only reach 140mm, I need more than that, which is why I'm considering purchasing the Ronin S as long as it's features would be fully or mostly compatible with the Panasonic Lumix G9.
Great review One of the best ones iive seen yet Loved the footage Ive got a Ronin S with a BMPCC4K ....fantastic combo There is an add on display you can get now You also didnt mention you can power you camera from the gimbal too :) Hoping DJI supports my camera soon
Thanks @Jay Freeman 😃 I've had the opportunity to use the command unit and I still feel that it shouldn't be necessary. Having used the Zhiyun Crane 2 with its integrated LCD display - it just seems like something every 3-axis gimbal should have. I am aware that it's possible to charge cameras via the Ronin-S, provided the camera supports USB charging - which mine do not. I don't like making videos that simply list specifications of a product, because I was unable to try USB camera charging - I didn't want to provide thought on something I couldn't vouch for... if that makes sense. Thanks again. 👍
@neil fisher thank you so much for this review, I have the 7d m2 with 200l and it is so hard to find info on how the ronin s works with it. Finally someone had info! thank you! Im realizing that it really isn't that necessary for the soft ware to communicate with the canon. Its a luxury, but not a necessity.
No bsitting - a real tutorial video! What a surprise! Neil you need to start puff-paffing mouth effects in order to break the youtube and you'll be "star"! Thank you for that one!
This is a superb video but, I have a word of warning to those in the UK buying a Ronin S Essentials Kit for use with a Panasonic Lumix GH-5 . You will need to buy an additional DJI Ronin-S Type C USB Cable and at the time of writing (Feb 2020), they seem to be as rare as hens teeth. Unless, that is, you are prepared to purchase directly from DJI, pay the exorbitant postage charge and wait 10 - 15 days for the privilege
@Fat Rabbit Video - DJI's list of included components is pretty good and the lack of a USB-C cable shouldn't be a surprise. It's worth determining a camera's compatibility prior to purchasing.
Many thanks @David Domalain 👍 Appreciate the feedback😃😃😃 Unfortunately, I simply don't have time to offer any sort of workshop. That said, if you have any specific questions feel free to fire them off here - or for a more timely response bug me on Instagram @fisher604.
Ha... thanks @rappeezy 😃 The missing million or so followers is likely due to the relatively low frequency of uploads - that, plus Blue Shirt Kid said it was the algorithm. 😆😆😆
Great video. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know, but you did such a great job that I'm subscribing on the assumption that this won't always be the case. Well done.
Good mention of slowmo overuse. But you show the closeup water shot right after that. Which is very unnatural for a human eye at such close distance resulting in pretty high speed and flicker. Closeup water shot IMHO will look way better slowed down.
Love your style Neil ... a very good review and hoping to purchase for the Black Friday Sale. Where can I see more footage from other devices you have shot from? Thanks!
Thanks @Gaizka Peñafiel 😃 This specific video was not shot in C-Lop, but I recently had the C-Log upgrade preformed on my Canon 5D mark IV and have been very happy with the resulting image quality of C-Log 👍👍👍
Thanks for such a great video, Neil. I fit into the "stills photographer venturing into the videography world" category you mentioned. For the past couple of months since I bought my Nikon Z6 and Ronin S, my head has been spinning. I've watched countless RUclipsrs for both general videography tips as well as videos that are specific to my camera or my gimbal. I can count on one hand the videos that were so concise and so helpful, and yours is most certainly in that number. Thank you for your easy-to-understand way of communicating, and please keep up the good work!
Wow, massive thanks @Shane Hunter 👍 Really appreciate the kind words 😃😃😃 The Nikon Z6 sounds like a pretty solid little video shooter and a perfect match for the Ronin-S, I'm sure you'll be able to create some great footage with the combo 👍
@@neilfisher Thanks Neil! Yeah I've really loved it so far. It's really rejuvenated me as a photographer too. My insta is @couture_sr_photos. The last 3-4 videos on there were with the Z6/Ronin-S combo. If you wanna look at some Noob work haha. Thanks for the reply!
Thanks @Raymond Francisco 😃 There have been a few other single-handed gimbals introduced since the release of the Ronis-S, but I still think it's a terrific choice. Hope you enjoy it. 👍👍👍
Great video! One request though, could you move your shot data up a little bit or place it on top of the video? Whenever I pause to see your settings, I can't see them through the RUclips media bar. Great stuff though!
Many thanks @Aerial Guide 👍 I'm hesitant to move the EXIF information bar any higher as it already takes away from the composition of a few shots. If you enable full screen mode on a desktop computer or mobile device it should be easier to view ... and admittedly, I mucked up with the scaling of the lower left watermark. 😐
With our new Ronin S, we learned more from you than all of the other videos combined. Really excellent quality! If you can tell me, I'm using a Fujifilm XT20 mirrorless and seem to get a noticeable amount of horizontal shake, I'm new to this and am stumped, any idea why? The camera is totally balanced and all is functioning well but when I do my test videos, there's just a noticeable amount. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
@Atremin1 I've found that calibrating the Ronin-S via the mobile app does wonders for eliminating unwanted shake and vibration - that and ensuring the system is perfectly balanced. Hope this helps 😃

absolutely first class, thanks!
Thanks so much @Bill Hornstein 👍 Really appreciate the kind words 😃😃😃
2nd that! :D
Soon as I clicked on this video I knew the quality was going to be great.
Ha... thanks @DOCUMENTED 👍 Appreciate your bold statement 😃😃😃
I think you should make more videos at regular intervals. For such good quality content, you've got far fewer subscribers than you deserve.
Thanks for the kind words @Bala Krishna 😃 These videos take quite a bit of time and resources to create - and working a full time jobs takes priority. 👍
@@neilfisher yes that is the sad part being a freelancer...u got no time for ur own thing...ur review is good...
Many thanks@@lalnallath appreciate the feedback. 👍👍👍

Thanks so much @Ben 😃 Appreciate the feedback 👍👍👍
I love the fact that you show us the settings you were using during a specific shot
Glad to hear it's appreciated @Golden 47 - I've always felt it helps others learn. 😃

Really great information here on the Ronin S with some great general gimbal/filmmaking tips thrown in. Really enjoyed this!
Thanks @Ecuador Live 😃 As it hadn't been released at the time... be sure to check out the Moza Air 2 as well - it's a great competitor. 👍👍👍
neil fisher Will do, thanks for responding
This was THOROUGH. Answered every question I had going in and others I didn't even know to ask. Thank you! You've earned a subscriber. 👍
Thanks so much @Nomad Media 😃😃😃
To be frank, i watched this video not because of review, but because of awesome location.
Great work👍🏻
Thanks @Harpreet Singh it is a pretty amazing place to be. 😃
Have been binge watching tutorials, yours is the best by far.
Thanks so much @TheMauri0409 😃😃😃
When I saw your frankenjib I was like ah, no there's a man who doesn't let equipment stand in his way of getting a shot. Very cool!!!
Hahaha... @Kid Richmond that's the exact mentality I approach every shoot with. 😃😃😃
This was perfectly timed with the price drop this week. I would have liked to see how you carry it, I do worry it will take a lot of space in my backpack.
And I have to say you channel is a hidden gem. Love the content, the footage and the general feel of your videos!
Thanks so much for the kind words @Varyag 😃 The best way I can describe how I pack the Ronin-S... is very awkwardly. Using a F-stop tilopa with the large ICU the battery and mini tripod are stored in the upper flap pocket and the gimbal platform sits atop the ICU wrapped in whatever clothing I happen to be bringing I'll try and snap a photo the next time I head out. 👍
neil fisher Okay, thanks! That carrying solution makes sense.
Wow. This is literally the best video involving the Ronin S on the internet that i know of. You are an amazing teacher!
Thanks so much @Steve Rodgers 😃 Really appreciate the kind words 👍👍👍
By far the best review I've see so far. Answered some questions I had about using the creative tools with an unsupported camera.

You also didnt mention you can power you camera from the gimbal too :)
Hoping DJI supports my camera soon
Thanks @Jay Freeman 😃 I've had the opportunity to use the command unit and I still feel that it shouldn't be necessary. Having used the Zhiyun Crane 2 with its integrated LCD display - it just seems like something every 3-axis gimbal should have. I am aware that it's possible to charge cameras via the Ronin-S, provided the camera supports USB charging - which mine do not. I don't like making videos that simply list specifications of a product, because I was unable to try USB camera charging - I didn't want to provide thought on something I couldn't vouch for... if that makes sense. Thanks again. 👍
Very much agree that many videographers over-do slo-mo! They often use the same techniques repeatedly in every shot. Can be too much.
This is exactly how I feel @Dreamtree Films 👍
@neil fisher thank you so much for this review, I have the 7d m2 with 200l and it is so hard to find info on how the ronin s works with it. Finally someone had info! thank you! Im realizing that it really isn't that necessary for the soft ware to communicate with the canon. Its a luxury, but not a necessity.
Thanks so much @brandi kaufmann 👍 Very much appreciate the feedback 😃😃😃
No bsitting - a real tutorial video! What a surprise! Neil you need to start puff-paffing mouth effects in order to break the youtube and you'll be "star"! Thank you for that one!
Thanks for the kind words @Megalithikum Balkanikum 👍 Though, I honestly have zero idea what puff-paffing mouth effects are? 😝😝😝
@@neilfisher Check P.McKeanon or whatever his name is - it is kind of school for producing sounds ;)
Quite not sure why you have got very few subscribers, your content is just great.
Many thanks @Maverix Obscura 😃😃😃 Admittedly, I don't upload very frequently. 🤔
Great review! And I agree that the slow motion should mostly be used in specific scenarios.
Many thanks @Cui Yepu - glad to hear others feel the same way about slow motion. 👍
best review on this product hands down!
Thanks for the bold statement @Cameron Hussain. 😃😃😃
This is a superb video but, I have a word of warning to those in the UK buying a Ronin S Essentials Kit for use with a Panasonic Lumix GH-5 . You will need to buy an additional DJI Ronin-S Type C USB Cable and at the time of writing (Feb 2020), they seem to be as rare as hens teeth. Unless, that is, you are prepared to purchase directly from DJI, pay the exorbitant postage charge and wait 10 - 15 days for the privilege
@Fat Rabbit Video - DJI's list of included components is pretty good and the lack of a USB-C cable shouldn't be a surprise. It's worth determining a camera's compatibility prior to purchasing.
So nice to see such a knowledgeable person just up the road! Do you do any workshops for beginners?
Many thanks @David Domalain 👍 Appreciate the feedback😃😃😃 Unfortunately, I simply don't have time to offer any sort of workshop. That said, if you have any specific questions feel free to fire them off here - or for a more timely response bug me on Instagram @fisher604.
@@neilfisher Will do!
Fantastic! Best on here by far.
Many thanks @Chris Pascoe 👍 Appreciate the feedback😃😃😃
Well explained my friend! the best video so far!
Many thanks @Jesus Cristo 👍👍👍
Dude subbed, how do you not have a million followers?? Dead on with the overused slomo too.
Ha... thanks @rappeezy 😃 The missing million or so followers is likely due to the relatively low frequency of uploads - that, plus Blue Shirt Kid said it was the algorithm. 😆😆😆
Very useful and well put together review - thank you!
Thanks @Colin Gazley 😃 Greatly appreciate the feedback👍👍👍
Great video. I didn't learn anything I didn't already know, but you did such a great job that I'm subscribing on the assumption that this won't always be the case. Well done.
Thanks so much @Warren Harrison 👍 Admittedly, I don't upload too frequently, but hopefully that will change soon. 😃
Pricelessly helpful, Neil! Thanks so much for this vid! Cheers,
Many thanks @Glen M. Danielson 😃 Happy to hear you found it helpful 👍👍👍
Thank you so much . I got so many answers which I have been looking for all over google from last 2 weeks
Many thanks @Sunny Binning 😃 Happy to hear you found this helpful 👍👍👍
Good mention of slowmo overuse. But you show the closeup water shot right after that. Which is very unnatural for a human eye at such close distance resulting in pretty high speed and flicker.
Closeup water shot IMHO will look way better slowed down.
Fair point @spook... but if I'd shown slow motion footage immediately after discussing my dislike of its over use - then I'd be a massive hypocrite. 😭
Great content Neil.... thanks for the time and effort you put into this tutorial.
Many thanks @Bruce Williams Studio 😃😃😃
Love your style Neil ... a very good review and hoping to purchase for the Black Friday Sale. Where can I see more footage from other devices you have shot from? Thanks!
Many thanks @BLU IGUANA CINEMA 😃 RUclips is the only platform I share personal work.
Neil, you have great talent. Keep going, you have a lot of support. Subd.
Many thanks @Andrew Baharom 😃 Appreciate the feedback. 👍👍👍
You so right with your remarks on 17:45!...
@Roberto Spadon great to know I'm not he only one who finds the Ronin-S super awkward to pack. 😝
Great video Neil, the best review I have seen. Do you shoot in C-Log? The image looks great.
Thanks @Gaizka Peñafiel 😃 This specific video was not shot in C-Lop, but I recently had the C-Log upgrade preformed on my Canon 5D mark IV and have been very happy with the resulting image quality of C-Log 👍👍👍
Thanks for such a great video, Neil. I fit into the "stills photographer venturing into the videography world" category you mentioned. For the past couple of months since I bought my Nikon Z6 and Ronin S, my head has been spinning. I've watched countless RUclipsrs for both general videography tips as well as videos that are specific to my camera or my gimbal. I can count on one hand the videos that were so concise and so helpful, and yours is most certainly in that number. Thank you for your easy-to-understand way of communicating, and please keep up the good work!
Wow, massive thanks @Shane Hunter 👍 Really appreciate the kind words 😃😃😃 The Nikon Z6 sounds like a pretty solid little video shooter and a perfect match for the Ronin-S, I'm sure you'll be able to create some great footage with the combo 👍
@@neilfisher Thanks Neil! Yeah I've really loved it so far. It's really rejuvenated me as a photographer too. My insta is @couture_sr_photos. The last 3-4 videos on there were with the Z6/Ronin-S combo. If you wanna look at some Noob work haha. Thanks for the reply!
Brilliant video, having just got the ronin s this has helped so much, thank you 👍👍
Thanks @devon_rjh_photography 👍 Happy to hear you found this helpful 😃😃😃
2months ago got to trio up my Ronin S with the Dji focus wheel motor and BAMMM AWESOMENESS
Great to it works so well @VISION0STUDIO 😃
Best you tuber ever!! Awesome review.
Thanks so much @Wildavismedia 👍👍👍
Subbed! You convinced me to buy the ronin s. Thanks Man!
Thanks @Raymond Francisco 😃 There have been a few other single-handed gimbals introduced since the release of the Ronis-S, but I still think it's a terrific choice. Hope you enjoy it. 👍👍👍
Great video! One request though, could you move your shot data up a little bit or place it on top of the video? Whenever I pause to see your settings, I can't see them through the RUclips media bar. Great stuff though!
Many thanks @Aerial Guide 👍 I'm hesitant to move the EXIF information bar any higher as it already takes away from the composition of a few shots. If you enable full screen mode on a desktop computer or mobile device it should be easier to view ... and admittedly, I mucked up with the scaling of the lower left watermark. 😐
@@neilfisher thanks for the reply - no problem. I definitely understand your reasoning, It's nice that you even include that data in the first place.
Awesome video, look forward to seeing more!
Thanks @Alli and Will. 👍👍👍
With our new Ronin S, we learned more from you than all of the other videos combined. Really excellent quality! If you can tell me, I'm using a Fujifilm XT20 mirrorless and seem to get a noticeable amount of horizontal shake, I'm new to this and am stumped, any idea why? The camera is totally balanced and all is functioning well but when I do my test videos, there's just a noticeable amount. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
@Atremin1 I've found that calibrating the Ronin-S via the mobile app does wonders for eliminating unwanted shake and vibration - that and ensuring the system is perfectly balanced. Hope this helps 😃
Excellent review man! Just top notch!
Many thanks @NRGRX 😃😃😃
