zerocool22 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I read that you could also focus manual lenses with a add-on? But I dont seem to find this addon anywhere or the cost of it? Or did I read it wrong? As I dont use AF lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Olympus EM1 mk II can. Well not for every move, but you know I find Gimbal shots really sort of boring as hell. That flying look is hokey as heck for extended times.They are too good in a sense. Sort of the same with Drone footage. A little of it goes a long damn ways. 21 hours ago, jonpais said: No, IBIS cannot replace a gimbal. And I’m sure you’re aware that the IBIS in the full frame a7 III is not as effective as in the m4/3 cameras. LOL. @jonpais I think that @webrunner5 has never used a gimbal. Or a camera, I am not sure. Asking why one would even need a gimbal using an A7 because it has IBIS is beyond me . Now I am not saying that you need a gimbal, depends on your work and style, but that's a different question. The thing is IBIS does not replace a gimbal and if it does for you that simply means you do not need stabilized footage while walking/running which is fine. jonpais 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2me24 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I know the follow focus works for the gh5 MFT lenses, but does anyone know the functionality with a Speedbooster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesaul Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 It was reported that it works. I am myself waiting for mine to come to check that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2me24 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I hope so. I currently have a GH5 on a Ronin-M using the Aputure Lens Regain as my wireless follow focus and iris adjustment. I'm thinkin it will be a little easier to handle being able to hold it close to the body with 2 hands vs. the Ronin-M. Anybody who already has one, is it worth it to sell the Ronin-M and get the Ronin-S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboguard Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Did they just sneakily raise the price with 50 bucks?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchtape Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 My preorder never came in and I canceled after literally 2 months of waiting. Got it on aliexpress for retail price with coupons plus eBates gets you some cash back. They did take like 2 weeks before shipping but better than 2 months.

Same here in Slovakia, I was waiting for my ronin since august, so I cancelled my order and got a crane 2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Williams Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Come on DJI - this is ridiculous - I had a Zhiyun Crane 2 and I can control all camera functions - Aperture, ISO, Shutter whilst recording - why can't the Ronin S do this!!! So annoying. And I can't find any other third party device to do this either :( The OKii can do it all, but not while recording :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaconda_ Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 From what I've seen the Ronin S works very well as a stabiliser for the P4K, all the controlles though become useless. That's not limited to the Ronin, no gimbals can communicate with the BMP4K unless they have bluetooth, but I've not heard of any that do or can connect in that way to the camera. Any focus control must be done with a hardware follow focus too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any focus control must be done with a hardware follow focus too. My plan is to use the BMPK4K+gimbal with an ultrawide prime. I already have with an 14mm and I loved the results, so not so crazy about focus. I also own the Dec Regain, so I have the option if I want. Planning to use the S with a dual handle anyway, almost impossible with just one! I used the Crane 2 and some modes weren't possible, and it was already too heavy. Does it need any walkarounds or they work together as a breeze? This gimbal question puzzles me a lot lately! The S is an overkill for my hybrid cameras though, I would love something like the Weebill work, but it doesn't seem possible with the Pocket.

Anaconda_ Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I use the Weebill with the Pocket, it's fine for my needs. The only limitation I've found is the hyper cool, use it every day VORTEX twisty function doesn't work with this camera just because the motors can't quite handle it. I think the Ronin can balance out the box, but for the Weebill, you do need to add some kind of a counterweight, but that's very simple and I've not found it hindering my movements. In fact, I've recently been using this battery converter, which has a velcro strap. It's both my counterweight and power solution. With this I can balance the P4K, Viltrox and 24-105, so that should give you some idea of what the gimbal can handle. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DC-12V-NP-F-Battery-Power-Supply-System-Mount-Adapter-Plate-Holder-for-BMCC-BMPCC-4K/32955311989.html Here's my first test with the Weebill. This first 2 min is slow mo shot at 50fps, then the last part of the clip is the same edit played back at 2x speed, to hopefully show any wobbles/jitters.

ZeeeGerman Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The gimbal is also on sale through DJI. Wonder if it makes sense for me to upgrade over my Crane-1 V2. Anyone else upgrading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well even handheld stuff looks smooth at 60fps. How is it at 24fps which is how I will be shooting 99,9% of the time anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another test I did in real-time, but there's not much walking in it. And the songs are unfinished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
