Thanks everyone who commented on my RS2 Tips & Tricks video that requested this video. Hopefully, this helps you guys out! It's confusing without any documentation.
Check out the DJI RS2 tips & tricks video: ruclips.net/video/R2I8gb5kL14/видео.html
I have canon c70 and I can’t control the rec with raveneye do u know how?
Hey, just a couple of radio-related tips from an electronics engineer. 1) The dual antennas should be perpendicular to eachother for maximum effectiveness. Antennas are polarized, not unlike sunlight (think polarizer filters!), so having the antennas at 90 degrees to eachother means that when one antenna is picking up a weak signal the other will be picking up a strong signal, and vice versa. 2) The suggestion to turn off Bluetooth is because WiFi and Bluetooth are both 2.4GHz and use the SAME antenna in your phone. This is actually impossible to do, so what it means is that your phone is having to constantly toggle between using that antenna for Bluetooth and WiFi, which is incredibly unreliable (especially on Android phones, some more than others). Turning off Bluetooth for just one app like you suggest doing in the video has no effect on this at all (it's essentially just a privacy setting) - you must turn Bluetooth off for the entire phone.
Hey there Richard, thank you for a more in-depth response! I really wonder about the bluetooth setting for just the Ronin app or just turning off bluetooth in general - it does seem to make a difference on my iPhone. I understand from a technical standpoint that it might not make sense but I wonder if apple is doing something tricky to actually shut off bluetooth? Or if its not "actually" shutting it off, but denying permissions to single apps? This is above my pay grade but thanks for bringing that up! I love knowing things like this! Thanks for the great insight and watching
@@keith-knittel My guess would be that when BT is left enabled for the app, that the app tries to connect to the gimbal automatically or at least tells iOS that it may want to use BT, and that causes the difference you see. I'm pretty sure that even with BT disabled for the app, if you had another app in the background using BT or were using BT headphones (which is possible as BT is still enabled on the phone) that you'd see the same or worse degredation. It's hard to say for sure as it's all behind-the-scenes stuff, and Apple does change the behaviour quite frequently between iOS versions as it can have a large impact on battery life. If I get a RS2+RavenEye, I'll have to do some testing!
Thank-you again! 🙏 Just set-up my RS2 and RavenEye last night, and it was all so confusing (and this is my first gimbal). But after making All The Mistakes you talk about, I was able to get Active Track working thanks to you. The whole reason I got this was to film *myself*, and finally I can! Again, I’m grateful for this video 🙏🤗
It can be pretty confusing but glad to help you out! I had a ton of trial and error when I set mine up for the first time! Thanks for the kinds words and have fun filming!
Thank you so much for the comprehensive breakdown & tutorial. Concise, & brilliant commentary. VERY helpful. Keep up this great channel.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words, definitely motivates me to make more content
The best videos over the RS2. Especially about the cables.
Thanks for the kind words, Magnus! Glad it was helpful!
Have ordered the rs 2 pro combo and can't wait to get it. Great to be watching all your content in prep and sure I'm gonna be tapping into all your knowledge when I get this!!
Thats awesome Matt, glad to help out! By now, I'm sure you've gotten your gimbal. Hope it's all going well! Thanks for the support
Great videos for RS2 newbies. Thanks Keith, keep on the good work!!!
Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for the kind words and watching!
OMFG THANK YOU. Couldn’t figure out the raven eye and this helped
Youre welcome - glad I could help!
This is an incredibly insightful, helpful video. 10/10.
Thanks and glad it was helpful, Josh!
Thanks for this video, the lack of documentation was frustrating. Got it working as intended on my SC2 finally.
Glad it helped! It took me a lot of trial and error to figure everything out! Thanks for watching
Brilliant vid and really helped get my RS2 and RavenEye working with my S1
Glad I didn't have to rely solely on the DJI quick start guide that although "correct" leaves a lot open to interpretation
One small glitch that I came across is a limit on what resolution can be filmed and sent over HDMI at the same time
Therefore you can have everything setup & show in the app, but the image freezeses as soon as you press record
To resolve this you need to reduce the video quality for it to work
I have only tried this on my Pansonic Lumix S1, but reading a few other forums it seems to be an issue on the Sony A7 as well
It looks to be a restriction set in the camera, so hopefully will be resolved in firmware updates
Thanks for a very helpful video Keith! I'm sure I averted at least one headache by watching this before I tried setting up the Raveneye!
Thanks for the kind words! There are a lot of weird “gotchas” with this gimbal, hope I could save you some headaches!
Super helpful AND you're very pleasant to listen to!
Glad it was helpful! And thank you!
Honestly that’s the best laid out tutorial video I’ve seen for Raven Eye. You are so correct that information is thin and anyone else doing a tutorial has left out important information and steps. Congrats on doing this very well. One question, I have Sony cameras, too, but always use the multi cable for control and not USB C. If you buy a Ronin S control cable for Sony from DJI, for example, it comes with the micro USB for multi. It’s working for me with multi input on RS 2. I’ll experiment and try the USB C to see what happens and let you know.
Okay Keith, just tried replacing the USB micro or mini into the camera with USB C and I lost all control. I’m using a new a7siii and tried your tip of controlling with PC and not mass storage, but all I got was image edge coming up on the monitor with a choice of MTP or USB. I couldn’t get anything to work and eventually went back to the multi plug in and everything was fine again. I know my A73 and A7R3 also work with the multi input for record start, etc. I don’t get ISO, shutter speed and aperture in Ravens eye in the DJI app. Are you getting this additional control?
Hey there Jack - I this is the experience I've been going through as well. I'm thinking about making another video addressing the RS2, how to rig it up, which cable to use and the drawbacks of using each cable for a7iii's and an a6400 (those are the cameras I have). Lots of trade offs based on camera and even resolution.
@@keith-knittel I think that's an excellent idea as I am reading about lots of confusion out there. I was on support with DJI as my zipper on my case broke and I need replaced. While I was on I sent them a link to your video and they appreciated it and thanked me as they realize there is a lack of information on the Raven's Eye and they want to address it.
Waiting to receive my RS2. I have saved this video (among a few others) for when I get it. Thanks heaps mate, great job!
Congrats on the new gimbal! Hope I can help, I have a few other videos about the rs2 as well!
@@keith-knittel legend! Thanks :)
Great video Keith, really helped a lot. Thanks a ton.
Glad it helped!!
Just bought the RS2 Pro combo and WOW...your video literally saved me hours of frustration!!! The DJI Ronin app was about 1/10th as useful as your video. DJI should just link this video in their app for support.
This took me a long time to figure out, so I decided to make a video about it. Glad to help! Thanks for watching
Dude, really clear good tutorial. Subscribed :) Thx
Glad to help, and thank you for the subscription, Chaos!
Perfect Guide thank you! I'm still getting used to my RS2
Glad it helped! There are a lot of moving parts with the RS2 to learn especially if this is your first gimbal! Thanks for watching
Hi Keith - I just came across your RS2 videos and you've absolutely nailed it mate! You could give DJI a few good tips on how to create educational videos for their RS2 !!!!
Wow - thanks for the kind words! Sorry for the late reply, but glad you came across my videos! Glad to help and thanks again!
Thank you so much. New subscribe! I looked and looked, your video was the only one to do a the tutorial correctly!
Glad to help, Chris! I had a tough time figuring this out so decided to make a video about it - thanks for the kind words and subscribing!
@@keith-knittel Unfortunately it seems that 4k doesn't work well to my smart device, only 1080. Lots of lag with 4k.
Hello, thanks for your videos which are very useful well explained, the gimbal the raveneye and the camera are well connected with the right cables but when I want to activate 'Active Track' I cannot see what I have framed on the small monitor of the dji ronin rs gimbal 2 pro combo. how should i do?
Thank you!! I seen nobody with this video
Great video!!
Thank you!!
Great advice, thanks. Subscribed.
Thanks for the kind words and subscribing, Chris!
Thank you a lot for the video. I am considering buying a small video transmitter for the RS2 (which I already have), so the Raveneye might be an option as it seems quite small too, but I have a question.
If you connect everything but the usb c cable from RSS to the camera, the Raveneye will at least send a video signal, or it needs the double connection (hdmi and usb-c) with the camera necessarily?
My camera Blackmagic needs the usb-c port and I only need to send a video signal, no tracking or other fancy stuff..
Thank you in advance for the answer, man!
Connecting to my Canon 80D. It works perfectly. Thank you.
Great to hear!
So very helpful! Thank you. New sub.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Very cool. Original "instructions" - if you wanna call that that way - suck. What would we do without you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of RS2 with us !
Took me a lot of trial and error to figure out the RS2 - glad I could help! Thanks for watching
Thanks so much for this video XO
I like your Voive, slow and clear, make we all heard the details
Thanks! I find myself talking too quickly all the time and actually reshoot a lot of stuff to slow down. Words are hard!
Really helpfull video, thank you! A silly question perhaps, but do you need to be connected to a network to use active track? We love safari and network is not always available
Thanks for that good info
Glad to help, Juan!
Very helpfull!! Thanks !
Glad it was helpful!
Hello, Congrats on nice video. With/without RE, I cannot record from record button on RS2. Only on iPhone through app. Record button shows iPhone-icon and can't change it. Footage saved on iPhone (cache). Cables connected properly but app says cam ctrl cable disconnected. Any suggestions on how I can enable recording from gimbal and save on my BMPCC4K? Thanks a lot !
Nice and simple thank you
Thank you for your video. Is it normal that I can't seem to receive audio for playback? Raven eye with a Nikon Z6II and a RSC2. Thank you
Very helpful thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
Hi! I work with a Sony a6400 and recently bought RSC2 and Raveneye. I've already managed to connect and have access to control the camera's gimbal, tracking and REC. However, I can't change the aperture, speed and ISO parameters (they are set to "0"). I replaced the accompanying cable (sony multi) with the micro usb cable, in this case I can change the values but when starting to record (REC), the image is black on the smartphone and on the display. I've checked everything and I don't know what it can be. The settings are like Remote PC and HDMI Auto output. If you know what it can be, thank you.
@aerial guide, thanks for this tutorial. Are you able to use RavenEye to control a manual lens (e.g. Sirui 35mm anamorphic lens)? I am able to use RavenEye for auto-focus while shooting video on my Lumix GH5 with a native Lumix (auto-focus) 12-60mm lens but not with any manual lens. RS2 has a focus motor but I don't know how I can use it. I read that I can auto-focus manual lens only with 3D focus.
Another issue is: I thought the RS2 gimbal red button (or on the ronin mobile app) is to record the video using my GH5 but it does not.
thanks
That's correct - you'll need the 3D focus for that. I don't have access to the 3D module yet, so I don't have any experience with that yet. As for the recording from the RS2 or Ronin app, make sure you're using the correct camera control cable. Check the link in the description to DJI's supported cameras and cables. Thanks for watching and the question!
Fantastic video> Question if you are still checking these older videos. I have the RSC2 combo that has Raveneye. When I start tracking, it the gimbal starts moving side to side. It starts fine, then starts tacking off panning side to side until I have to grab and hold on while it loses track Love the gimbal and dont want to return it, but I got it specifically for the active tracking. I have tried three different Canon cameras and turned stabilization off, rebalance, recalibrate etc. Any ideas?
Thanks for the video. I am using A6400 on RSC2 and i have some problems. Connections ok but raveneye on phone started to display camera view too much laggy. I changed wifi signal type but nothing happened. At the start, it was very fluid but it became laggy suddenly and i couldn't solve the issue. Secondly, record button on gimbal does not function. I unchecked the record button in the display of Raveneye but nothing happened again. It's indicated that a dedicated cable is needed to make a timelapse but i couldn't find this cable either in the box.
Thanks a lot for this video. Wrong USB slot spoiled two days of my life. Now the problem is solved.
Glad to help! It's a really easy mistake to make (I made it a lot before making this video)
If using the vertical mount for the camera, does the raveneye have to sit ontop of the camera in the cold-shoe? or how does that work? i didn't see a way to mount the raveneye elsewhere. Could you advise? Thanks!
hi ! nice vid ! thanks , i was wondering if you can still use an external monitor with the raven eye setup?
thanks! cheers
You can buy you'd have to use a HDMI from your camera, to the monitor HDMI in, then from the monitor HDMI out to the RavenEye. That seems like it's going to be a large rig, but some shoots my require something like that! Thanks for the kind words
Can you possibly go over how to configure camera control for Sony cameras? I'm trying to get iso control on the RS2 but haven't been successful
There is a link to the camera compatibility lists in the description. On my A7iii the only way to control ISO is with the USB-C cable. I'm hesitant to make a video about configuring specific cameras since the firmware and compatibility can change frequently with these new products - I'm left a link to the most up to date info on the DJI site regarding camera compatibility
Hey ! Is it possible to have connect raven eye and camera control in the same time ? When i have preview on my phone , i can`t press rec button on my gimbal or change iso on front dial.
I use sony multi cable but when I put usb c to usb c in camera i have info about iso aperture but i don`t have camera preview. Only black screen... I use rsc2 and A7 III
Great thank you. I am considering buying one and it's really helpful to know how to avoid issues even when correcting to what seems like a valid port. Is there really no documentation on this, and just something you had to experiment with? Of course they may have fixed this in the meantime. One of the perks of buying slightly older gear as I have (given the RS3 pro has been out a year)
Thanks for the great info
You're welcome, thanks for watching
thanks for making this video. By any chance what camera and settings did you use? the look, LOOKS GREAT!
Hey there Henry, thanks for the kind words! I use my a7siii and Sony 24-105, in 24p. Love the look of the Sony cameras!
I'm using the A7Siii. It's a regular HDMI output slot on the camera. What cable do I need to use to connect to the Raveneye?
Hi Keith, when I connect my A7iii following your instructions, the screen in my Ronin app goes black. But if I remove the usb-c cable I can see the image again. Do you know why it is happening? Thanks
Hey there Roberto, that’s my experience with the a7iii and the RS2 with usbc- using the micro cable will allow you to see the feed but not allow you to control the settings
Is there a way that I can playback videos i recorded in pc remote mode hooked up to the gimbal? My a7c does not allow me to play playback on the camera when in pc remote mode hooked up to the gimbal
Question 🙋♂️: is there a way to daisy chain Raveneye with HDMI field monitor and camera so I don’t have to use my iPhone as the only monitor??
I have an entire rig that’s ring shaped
Hey there - I'm making a follow up video soon that I'll rig up my Ninja and the RavenEye on the RS2 with my A7III, do you have any additional questions or things you'd like to know how to do for that video? Thanks for watching and commenting
Is it possible to control the focusing with a smartphone? my cams are Fuji xt3/4, the Ronin SC could control focusing with its control wheel...
I own a 6D Mk ll according to specs, my camera does not have clean hdmi output, does raven eye filters out and make my output footage clean ?
thanks for the detailed write up. any idea what the range on the active track is? trying to figure out if it can film me from further away (like 40-50 ft). thanks!
Hey there Evan, the range for active track is very lens and movement dependent. I wouldn't rely on this as a completely remote camera operator, but for help filming things and keeping them in the frame it can be helpful. I use it for filming objects, but as far as setting it up and filming and taking the place of a camera operator.. the tech isnt there yet in my opinion. It's getting better, but not as good as the drone active tracking yet. Hope that helps! I have another video about the RS2 and raveneye that goes into a little more detail on my channel. "Common problems with the RS2 and Sony cameras" I'd link it here but sometimes RUclips blocks links for whatever reason
@@keith-knittel Thanks, I'm filming a lot of kitesufing, and I want to see if it can track me back and fourth as I'm kiting, but it sounds like its not there yet. Appreciate you sharing your experience!
Hi Keith, can you active track with the a7iii in 1080 usinvg usb c to usb c as yku set up guide suggests. I cant get any picture to the gimbal display?
Sorry for the late reply, but were you able to get this working? I have been using my gimbal with the micro cable when using my A7III. The USBC cable tends to have weird issues with the A7III for some reason. Thanks for watching
Thank you for that wonderful video! Is there any chance to get feed from your camera that you can broadcast live in youtube? I did not even find the recording option in my smartphone by myself :-)
You're welcome! And I'm not sure you can live stream from the Ronin app. I've never come across that option but I'd love if DJI added it! That would be a great solution. I live stream with my A7iii, but that requires a capture card - and those can be expensive. It's a great image, but streaming from the Ronin app seems like something that should be possible if DJI wanted to. I wish the Osmo Pockets had live streaming as well, but those dont either. Maybe someday!
How long does the raveneye last on battery power? I wonder if it’s battery long enough to run without usb power for short shoots? Say 1-2 hours?
Hi Keith do you confirm me that with raveneye the usb c camera input is used by it ? In the situation isn't possible to connect external hard drive. Tks
Hey there Guido, I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you elaborate more on that?
As a Canon R5 user, I’ve been constantly getting the red light. I’ve tried all the cables.
The part I’m stuck on is connecting to the Raveneye wifi. It shows yup but it won’t connect. I’ve connect successfully once but then it disconnected when I hopped onto the app.
awesome vids. have been very helpful. One thing I would say though is on regards to coiled HDMI cables on gimbals - they can be crap for balance - as the gimbal moves the tension changes hence changing the balance. They also always place strain on the HDMI connections and we've seen a few people have failed HDMI ports who where using coiled cables. And the majority of people we have helped with dropped frames/failed recordings that have been cable issues, its the Atomos coiled cable that has been the issue. At one stage we were coming across it a couple of times a week.just my 2 cents worth :)
Hey Jeff, saw your comment a week ago but guess my comment didn't send. I could see how after repeatedly using smaller coiled cables that will put a lot of stress on the port (especially micro HDMI's like the A7III) I'm going to include a more thorough HDMI cable break down in my next RS2 video. I've gone nuts purchasing multiple mini to full HDMI cables of lengths and coiled/uncoiled for my A7III, and now since purchasing the A7S III - full size cables. Since it seems like you have a lot of experience with this, do you have any recommendations for cables for me to test? Not that I need anymore cables! But interested in what you think the best ones are. Thanks for your 2 cents!
Hi! Great video and lots of solid information. I have a question: Just received my RS2 combi. Setup was easy, runs smoothly, but I have a strange issue. I tried the Sony A6600. Raveneye connected and I receive a picture on the RS2 display and the app. So far so good: When I connect the USB-cable (to control the camera), the screen on the RS2 gets grayed out - not black - a light grey. Same on the app. The rest works fine. If I remove the cable, camera picture-signal works just fine. Of course I would love to use both at the same time ;) Cables are in the correct ports - like in your video. Any idea? Thanks!
That's a weird one. Havent ran into that. Have you tried a different usb-c cable? Triple checked that all cables are in the correct ports? It's really easy to put the cables in the wrong slots.
@@keith-knittel Checked everything. Sony multi cable makes no problems, but it also doesn't do anything - but video stream is visible. The other USB multi cable works, but HDMI is interrupted. Ports are used like you showed in your video. There are several threads regarding this problem on the DJI forum. DJI told me to use the USB-C cable ... which is tricky - the A6600 has no USB-C port ;) Then they told me that the Sony cameras CPU ist overloaded because it has too much todo with the USB data transfer ;) Very strange ;)
I am just curious about in what fps and resolution does the raveneye transmits… tried to find it everywhere but couldn’t get help about this specific thing..
can you run the camera with the raveneye without camera control? I run a bmpcc 6k and record to an ssd so my usb-c port is in use already
GRACIAS !!! clave desconectar el cable de control de la camara para tener monitoreo al grabar con el raven ME SALVASTE UN CAPO
My issue with weeble s video transmission with sony a7iii is when I record video I can see any picture on camera screen and it only on my cell phone so I planned to return the gimbal.
Do you think with dji ronans2 I will able to video on both camera lcd screen as well on my cell phone?
That sounds like a limitation of the A7 III. When using the A7III, the screen on the camera will go black while recording 4K. If you're using a monitor (like the nina V) you'll be able to record the output to the monitor. Try recording in 1080p (the screen doesn't black out while recording 1080p on the A7III). Thanks for watching and hope that helped.
How does one use the raveneye connecting hdmi to camera and also connecting a monitor like the atomic ninja v for external recording?
Hey there, I'll be including this in my follow up video for the RS2. Are there any other questions you have for the RS2? Thanks for watching and commenting
Hi Keith, is there any possibility to use the active tracking for live streaming? With or without the raveneye?
I'm not aware of any way to live stream with the Ronin app using the RavenEye specifically. What kind of live streaming do you need to do with the RS2?
Super helpful💯💯💯
Glad it helped - thanks for watching and commenting
*Keith I need assistance*
How do I charge the raven eye from the gimbal battery itself I cannot find a video on RUclips on how to do it I was able to do it before the firmware and gimbal update but now I'm left to using a USB charger which I don't want that was the whole purpose of the gimbal to suck up some battery from it to use towards the raven eye.
Hey Ben, what firmware are you on? Your rs2 should charge your raveneye while it’s on. Make sure the gimbal is on and in the correct port from the rs2?
Hi, your video is great, been very helpful, thanks a lot. I"m encountering a problem here, when I'm setting my gh5s ready to record a 4K video, i can't get any live feedback with the raveneye. Do you know anyway to solve this problem? I'll be really appreciated.
Does the GH5 have HDMI out to a monitor while recording? I know the A7III's screen goes black while filming in 4K with any HDMI out device. Thanks for watching
@@keith-knittel Problem solved! Cheers
For the A7S III, you have to use the Sony multi cable on the micro usb. Record button and autofocus works this way.
Thanks for the info about the a7s iii, Roy!
@@guy.streeter make sure you're using the cable labeled multi. Don't use the other micro usb cable.
Can you show some of us how to mount iPhone13 Pro Max? I have my New Ronin DJI RS2
I recommend using the Andycine think HDMI cable going from the camera to the field monitor/atomos ninja/smallhd monitor. It takes the tension off the gimbal. I had that issue when I used a normal HDMi cable (like you said, hard to cable manage and tugs on the gimbal).
Have the same camera and had no issues getting everything to work correct. The only thing I can see in the future that might really help this setup is to have zoom control.
Thanks for letting me know, Cody! I tend to only hear from people when something isnt working. Nice to hear it's all working for you - zoom control would be nice. I haven't needed it yet, but I do have the focus motor too that could work with zooms. I tend to shoot mostly on primes for my shoots recently though. Thanks again for commenting and watching
can rs2 be used with raveneye + motorized follow focus?
Thank you so much Keith! Really helpful stuff... I'm totally new to gimbal work so maybe I'm just doing something wrong?! But when switching to "movie" mode on the camera dial (A7III) the screen on the phone turns black (no image). When A/S-Mode or whatever I get a live image. But without face recognition... Do you have tip for that?
Hey there Andreas, glad I could help! The A7III doesn't support face detect af while recording using HDMI out (any HDMI out, not just the RavenEye) As for the black screen, what are your settings on your camera and which cables are you using? Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Hey! I'm having the same problem here! Any solution to this?? Sony a7m3+Usb-c to Usb-c, camera settings are all the same to this video. Thanks in advance!!
I have a same problem with a7r m4, i tried usbc-usbc and usbc-miniusb, i have a black screen with both of them.
Hello Keith, Great review. Just have a question about charging the Raveneye ... as we know it's only the low usb c port who is able to charge it ?? but is it possible to charge with an external usb charger like Anker do : @t
My phone indicate a 5% battery of the raven eye on the right top border ..
Other question with a tilta Nucleus Nano N who need a 5v output, is it possible to use it and power the Nano with the third usb-c port of the gimbal ??
Thanks and all the best
Hey there, you can charge the raven eye with the usb-c port, as far as powering the nucleus, I’m not sure haven’t tried to power any additional devices with the rs2
Hi, I have a problem. I have the Sony A7S ii and when I shoot in HD, the footage is both transmitted on the camera screen and my phone (via the RavenEye). The problem occurs when I shoot in 4K, namely the camera's screen goes black everytime I press the REC button. Any ideas how to fix it?
When i use raveneye with all the cables connected including camera control cable, everything is working fine, but when i hit record both the app feed and the camera live feed go black. It’s like its unable to display what its recording while the camera control cable is plugged in, because as soon as I remove that the live feed is displayed on the app while i record, (still not on both the camera itself but i can live with that). Using the Sony A7iii any tips would be amazing
Hey there Milo, you're probably filming in 4K on the A7iii. Any HDMI connection while filming in 4k will cause the screen (and face detect autofocus) to turn off. Try filming in 1080p 24fps and your screen and face af should stay on. If it does, it's working as intended by sony. If it's not, you may have some other problems with your gimbal/camera or cables
Hi mate, I’ve got the same camera (a73) and attached the same cables as you but the live view still isn’t working. I am able to change iso/Shutter speed etc through the phone but the screen is just black with no live view, this resulting with the active track not being available. Can you help?
This is a frustrating part of the USB-C cable. The sony multi camera control cable will fix your black screen issue but you wont be able to control your iso, etc. It's just a limitation of the camera. I have a video coming out soon about the compatibility of sony cameras and the different cables.
hello keith i have a quick question i resently baught the raven eye and im having dificulty connecting to my canon 70d istill havent found whats causin my screen to stay black on my phone i have a canon eos 70d is there any way that u can help me figure this out boss?
I don't have a 70D to test, but attaching a monitor to the 70D and recording cause the screen on the camera to go blank and only show the picture on the monitor?
Great tutorial, probalby saved me hours of being pissed off if I get the RS2 eventually :).
Glad to save you some time! It took me a while to test all this out haha
Can you use the raveneye without the gimbal only for wireless hdmi? For example on a shoulder rig? Does it have its own battery or is that power supplied by the usb c port? If it has its own battery, how long does it last?
Hey Shane, the raven eye has its own battery. Lasts about 3.5 hours. Takes 2.5 hours to charge. Not the most elegant hdmi transmitter option (it requires an app) - but if you already have the raven eye, it’s a great additional benefit
In my ronin app I can’t connect both a gimbal and reveneye at the same time can someone help me please
Thank You so much
You're welcome! Glad to help
Thank You man for this video, I've set up everything like You show, but I have this issue I can't see live view on my phone but I can operate the gimbal by moving my phone. The live view only shows when I put the gimbal into sleep mode. What can be a problem here?
What phone, camera and cable connection are you using?
@@keith-knittel Huawei p20 pro Sony a6300 and usbc-usbc or usbc-sony multi, I've tried both
Keith, thank you for your pleasant and clear guide.
I recently bought a Sony A7SM3 and the RS2 pro combo. I get the RS2 working on the app, i get the image from Raveneye on my Samsung. That is as long as i dont connect another cable from my camera to te top port of the RS2. When i connect cable from top port to 'multi' on my camera, The RS2 responds with shaking for a tenth of a second and my camerascreen goes black. When i connect the top port to the usb-c on the cam the image on the cam goes black, but no shaky response from the RS2.
Problem could be that i only get 3 options in the USB connection menu: Auto, Mass Storage and MPT. Not any of the settings work. I have the latest firmware on the A7SM3, but that doesnt give me a 'pc-remote' option either. What i'm doing wrong?
Hope you can give me clue? spend a small weekend on this..Thanks very much for your attention!

Hey j - I don’t have a a7siii to test this with, but I’ve never experienced this. Can anyone with an a7siii chime in here if they’ve experienced this? Sorry I can’t help you with this
@@keith-knittel Found it! external HDMI should be 1080p AND wire everything up first, THEN switch the Ronin on.
Hi Keith, good content. With the current setup, Can you change camera settings form the app
Depends on your camera and control cables you’re using. With the a7iii you’ll need to use the usbc cable to control camera settings. Thanks for the kind words and watching
Hi, is it normal the raveneye does not transmit and record audio to the ronin app?
Dumb question...is there any way possible to have the RavenEye connected and working while also using an external monitor (also needing an hdmi port)? And would know if the DJI app for the RavenEye does anamorphic de-squeeze?
I've been asked this a few times, I'm going to include this in my next RS2 video - setting up a monitor with the RavenEye. Thanks for watching!
What best setting to do a parallax? I keep getting jerk motion with the rs2.
Slow follow modes and you have to be very steady yourself. Gimbals take lots of practice. Thanks for watching
can i charge the raveneye from the rs2 gimbal itself?
I have the Raveneye and it’s brand new but the battery life depletes pretty quickly is there a way to charge it from the RS2?
Yes, you can charge it with the USB C port from your gimbal to the RavenEye, or with the USBC port and a battery bank or wall charger
If u have 3d focus, and raven eye, where do you connect focus motor?
Honestly, not sure. I don’t have the 3D focus - but I’ll make a video about it when I can get my hands on it. I’m assuming the focus motor plugs directly into the 3D focus - so it can send that data directly to the focus motors? But again, not sure as I don’t have the 3D focus
Thanks for the Video, I am having issues with the RavenEye when using my A7III in 4k the RS2 states it is not connected with gimbal or camera HDMI port. This also does not show a live feed on the app. However, when in 1080p 120 and 60 everything works as it should without issue. I have followed the steps precisely and use all cables that come with the RS2. Do you have any idea's?
Hey there Anthony, I went down this deep rabbit hole with my video titled "Sony camera issues with the DJI RS2 & RavenEye" I'd link it here but I'm on my phone. It's a limitation of the camera, but watch that video and it will explain it in more detail
@@keith-knittel Solved it😀. I had the HDMI Resolution set to 2160/1080. I changed it to Auto and hey presto it works perfectly.
How do you change the zebra level in the Raven Eye Assistant? It is not following the levels set in the camera.
I don't have my RS2 in front of me right now, but I'm not sure you have that fine-grain control like you do on your camera. The app has it's own set of zebras and I'm assuming when you see the zebras, you're over exposed. If youre using log and need 105% or a specific zebra, I would not rely on the raven eyes zebras and only trust your camera for that. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks fam
