dgbarar Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi All: I am a new Ronin S user. I am attempting several type of shots without the use of the joystick: 1) Simple Panning and 2) Moving in/out from subject and panning at the same time. The issue is that when I rotate my body to accomplish the pan, the Ronin S counter acts my move by yawing (panning) in the opposite direction. Consequently, the action that I want which is to change the direction of the camera is defeated by equal and opposite action of the Ronin S. I have attempted various SmoothTrack settings and modified the tuning parameters to get this to stop. But nothing has worked. Does anyone have helpful suggestions for me? Sincerely, Don Barar BTW. I am able to easily accomplish these actions with my Phantom 4 Pro. When I rotate the aircraft to accomplish a panning shot, the Phantom maintains the camera pointing forward.

androidlad Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Sounds like the pan axis is locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I rotate my body 20 degrees the right, the Ronin S will completely counter act my movement and rotate 20 degrees to the left. Does this help you understand my issue? I want the Ronin S to continue to point forward so that as I change direction of my body, the direction of the camera changes as well--thereby creating the pan.

dgbarar Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 HI ST: Delighted that you like the thread. So far, the the only thing I have been able to come up with is to hold down the M key to put it in the sport mode. Then, camera always points forward. Not quite sure this that use sport mode as my goal is to make relatively slow and deliberate actions. While I really do not want to do use the joystick to counter act the movement, I have given it a try. I have adjusted the pan speed down (and turned off joystick tilt), but I have been unable to come up with combination of rotation of me and and an amount of counter acting joystick that matches to give me a smooth pan. Seems like this would be very difficult to accomplish even for the most skilled operator. Anyways, other suggestions are welcome.

androidlad Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 This is exactly what happens when pan axis is locked, instead of follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgbarar Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi AL: I am new to these gimbals. Might I ask how I put the Ronin S in follow mode? Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgbarar Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hi AL: Thank your your help. It made me think more about what is going on with the Smooth Track settings and the interaction with the trigger. To solve my problem I did the following: Set up a custom profile for User 2 Smooth Track Settings Speed High Deadband low (I have mine set at 10) Sensitivity High Now when I rotate my body (and trigger not depressed) the Ronin S maintains it position relative to my body and allowing me to create my pan. Thank you again for your input. Don webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
