And at NAB they showed it with the BMPCC4K so it should work right? Yes, one of their guy commented on FB that Canon and Blackmagic support is coming in the next firmware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The marketing material says it can control Panasonic cameras but I couldn't find a single early review video where someone was using it with a GH5 and show if/how the focus wheel works. I saw a bazillion videos with plain A7-something setups (small-ish lens, no cage, etc.) that would have worked with any other one-hand gimbal in the past. Can anyone point me to one?

scotchtape Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think this is going to sell really well, but I also feel like there's going to be a ton on the used market as people don't realize how heavy it's going feel. If you need the payload and balancing capabilities then you probably know what you're getting into, but I'm betting lots of people using smaller setups are going to buy in to it, only to realize that they don't actually need a 4lb unit to balance their 2.5lb setups. I hope this thing actually gets smooth motion, because there are so many bad ronin clips out there. I'm astounded that people still rave about DJI. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally am hoping they make a lighter version for smaller setups. I love the features of the ronin-s, but its a bit overkill for me.

The video above comparing it to the Titla, I'm surprised at how big it is. It looks like a great setup - especially if your camera works with the focus knob. There's definitely a market for a smaller version with a less payload capacity, this is complete overkill for virtually any mirrorless setup.

And TBH the first video we see of the Ronin S shows more jitters than the Crane / Moza ones. Personally I just ordered a Crane plus, got a brand new for 399 instead of 569$. 300$ less than DJI and twice lighter .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchtape Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I just ordered the crane 2. I was trying to find a used one for the eBay coupon but unfortunately there was nothing available during the 12 hours. Ended up only getting $130 off the Crane 2 with servo follow focus. They are surely working on the crane 3 with angled motor now... But I needed more payload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanly Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Could someone please repost the image/video where Ronin S is seen with Blackmagic Pocket 4K mounted on it? Searched the web and couldn’t find it )= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanly Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Found it! Weird that they inverted 2 axis, I wonder how it will work when both products will be released Adept 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil A Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The Ronin-S is really humongously big. I'll pass after initial interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not that it’s big, the arm being at a 45° angle causes the overall height to increase several inches. This combined with the fact that it is also on the mount in this picture make it appear much larger. I had a chance to play with several gimbals in this category back to back at NAB, and at no point did I conclude anything other than it was the best gimbal at NAB... and they were all there.

DBounce Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Philip Bloom has created a review of the DJI Ronin S. Don't think I've ever seen him do a gimbal review? Check it out below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboguard Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Love Phillip, he was also the first one I’ve seen to show non-slowmo stuff, which is what I would use it for. And it looks impressive! I’m intrigued, B&H says they’ll get more around July 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirozina Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I'd be interested to see if this could do good fluid head moves when mounted on a tripod ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webrunner5 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I saw a comment on the DJI Ronin S that a guy suggested using a Flag Pole carrier for it, yeah really.

Yeah but it is a cheap way of holding it even when in use, not counting when you are thinking about your next moves, or changing setting, a lens, etc. Hey the price is right.

Dave Maze Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Finally got our Ronin-S review finished! Really loving this gimbal. Although....at the end of the day, if you have an extra operator, the MoVI with all the FIZ control is going to be better. The Ronin-S is a Z Crane killer. webrunner5, Trek of Joy and Axel 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
