j169 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hi, I'm looking to get a Ronin SC tomorrow at short notice for a shoot on Saturday. I know I need to buy an adaptor to mount a monitor, but there's no time to get one. I've been told I could use an arm screwed in to the base - does anyone know if that is true? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes the arm has both standard thread mount types on the bottom of the handle. If you have an arm you will be able to use it to hold the monitor. j169 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, thanks for the amazingly fast reply I guess it's not ideal (I'd rather have the tripod legs to put it down) but if it does the job on Saturday I can get the proper mount another time. I did want the weebill S but I missed the delivery cut-off time by an hour or so! I think the SC will be good enough for now (my first gimbal except for a DJI Osmo) and I can always change in the future. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotchtape Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It's not bad. I thought I would like the aircross 2 more but the ronin-sc is more ergonomic for sure (but can balance and take less weight). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are the two issues that I have (the pro and the con) but I think most of my glass will be ok. I use a GH5 with a small rig cage and wooden handle, and normally the panasonic 12-35 f2.8, sometimes smaller primes - my largest is a 35mm samyang t1.5.

Martin Matěj Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Before I used Smallhd focus 5 monitor on Ronin S which was mounted on magic arm and was holding on a clamp at the bottom front of the Ronin handle: https://ebay.to/2OYO9Dx Now I use Smallhd focus 7 monitor with this mounting to Ronin S: https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-universal-wooden-side-handle-for-ronins-zhiyun-crane-series-handheld-gimbal-2222.html with https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-magic-arm-with-double-ballheads-arri-locating-pins-and-1-4-screw-2115.html And I think it's the best combo, the monitor feels so secure and you can change the position so easily. You could also mount some other things to the side handle. The possition of the monitor is better on the last picture because the HDMI cable is not in the way. You can do the same with Smallhd focus 5 inch. Kisaha, EthanAlexander, Geoff CB and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lux Shots Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Take a look at this video I posted about the Ronin-S, and you'll see the mount I'm using to hold my Ninja V. Here is a link to it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N7R9NXB/ref=cm_sw_r_taa_Z-vRDbGVEAS8F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
