I currently use a 7" monitor off the side of my cage but I've been looking for a solution to mount the monitor on my gimbal instead. Thanks for this video. You've given me options whereas other videos claim "the best (insert brand) for everybody" which in no way is true.
External. Do you have to rebalance after you put these on? Or if you put on a grip for instance, or is the balancing just for when you are placing items directly on the camera or on top of the gimbal?
Perfect timing! I just got my 1st gimbal the other day the Feiyutech AK4500. I'm in the process of getting an external monitor and trying to figure out the best way to attach it to the gimbal. I don't want it on the camera as it will be too bulky and probably throw off the stabilization. Thanks for posting this.
That’s awesome! I have the AK4000 and have really liked using it. This should work well for your gimbal. Also, if you use the ring grip accessory you could mount the monitor on top with the cold shoe mount.
That would be awesome! It is very annoying when the HDMI cable gets all wrapped around. I’ve broken a couple hdmi cables that way, luckily I haven’t broken any ports. I find the best tactic is to loosely tie the cable down to the arm with just enough slack to rotate, and then I’m overly cautious not to do a full 360 with the gimbal
Nice quick video on great options. I just purchased my first monitor to run on my ronin S and as using a different small rig arm, but if that doesn’t work like I’m hoping, I’ll check out your recommendations. Wish I would have subscribed before I bought those parts! Will be following for more content!
if you're using your monitor with a cage on it, you could easily just screw it into the short side and make the monitor hang vertically. should work fine!
I haven’t put a 7” monitor on their, but it’s already close to the handle with a 5” so I feel like it’s safe to assume it won’t fit well. Hopefully it does for you though!
HI zhiyun crane 2 loses all control on sony a7iii camera when atomos ninva V is also connected to the camera Have you encountered the same problem? There is a solution ? The thing that limits me the most is losing the focus lock that I usually use with the central button of the gimbal, giving a bad flaw to the images that are in search of focus. I hope you can help me with the solution. Thank you !
thank you for great vodeo.. i just wondering, is the nato clamp strong enough for holding all wight from gimbal & cam?, i wanna buy for my gimbal.. but i'm not sure it's can hold entire gimbal when use one hand in nato side handle..
I use a sunhood with my ninja V and it makes it easy to see even out in bright sunny conditions here in AZ! just get a sunhood made by atomos or smallrig/8sinn that comes with the cage and you should be good! otherwise the new SmallHD Action 5 has 2000 nits brightness!
Hey Chadwin! Perfect video thank you very much! I am looking for a clamp like that but Ronin S2. Do you know if it exists? I searched on Amazon but I only found for the Ronin S or Crane. Thank you in advance!
Not that I know of personally yet! sorry, but i know companies like smallrig are always releasing updated products so hopefully something similar for the RS2 comes out soon
that would honestly be too big. it would definitely get in the way when trying to operate the gimbal. that's why I use a 5" monitor and not even a 7" one.
they aren't hue lights. the led light tubes I'm using don't actually flicker at any shutter angle or frame rate i've tried. they're designed for video. RGB Chameleon geni.us/Chameleon
thanks for the video. i was unable to find the thin hdmi cable from the link, the search result didnt show. has anyone got a link to that exact cable? thanks
With enough finesse, you could probably do it one handed. If you’re on a shoot where you can’t take 30 seconds or less to adjust your monitor, that’s pretty crazy!
That SmallRig arm designed for the RS2 is pretty disappointing. There's no knob you can loosen to adjust the tilt. You have to loosen the two screws on either side of the hinge with a hex key and then retighten at the desired angle. Not something you can do in a real hurry.
Hi, do you have to have a cage, like @2:16, to attach the monitor or can I just simply screw the monitor mount on to the monitor itself? For reference I have the Desview R5, 5.5 inch monitor. Thanks!
Just learned the long way that a coiled hdmi is *not* the answer for connecting your monitor to gimbal chassis! It pulls on the gimbal-- not usable! Thinny HDMI on the way now.

Do you fly your gimbal with an external monitor or rely on the cameras LCD? No wrong answers....😂

@@maysonstorm4956 awesome! I hope it really has given you some ideas on way to mount your monitor in a way that works best for you!

@@rtomsc Only when you're placing it directly on the camera.

It's too bad they didn't include a HDMI passthrough channel through the arms. I hate having cables tangling all over as the gimbal turns.

Thank you for this 🙂 the first mount is really going to work for me for crane 2s with bmpcc 6k set up
Yes! That will be perfect, I've used it with Pocket 6k and it works nicely. Good luck on your setup!

Love your merch and bought all of em!!⚡❤️
😂 thank you for the massive support! 🤛🏻
Crushing it with valuable content Chadwin!
Thanks man! Always appreciate your support on the channel. I’m trying to get back into full swing after nearly 2 months off 😆
Cool, i more prefer place monitor on the handle grip.
Is there a set up for monitors for vertical shooting? Thanks for the video!!!
if you're using your monitor with a cage on it, you could easily just screw it into the short side and make the monitor hang vertically. should work fine!
My solution: I have a Zacuto Kameleon on a NVG mount + NVG cap. I can move my gimbal anywhere while having a perfect view.
nice! that sounds like a great solution that is working well for you!
Looks like you were able to mod the gimbal so the rear motor is lower. I want to so the same thing but taking apart my gear makes me nervous 😓
Hello awesome video. I have a Feiyutech AK2000s gimbal which one would work ?
can you control the camera with the gimbal while having the monitor connected? My A7III doesn't seem to work properly with that.
You say it won’t fit a 7” but have you tried it? I’ve just bought a 7 and was hoping it will fit 😬
I haven’t put a 7” monitor on their, but it’s already close to the handle with a 5” so I feel like it’s safe to assume it won’t fit well. Hopefully it does for you though!
I’m not sure if I’m asking this question the right way but are you able to active track off the monitor?
you can't active track with the monitor no.

thank you for great vodeo.. i just wondering, is the nato clamp strong enough for holding all wight from gimbal & cam?, i wanna buy for my gimbal.. but i'm not sure it's can hold entire gimbal when use one hand in nato side handle..
Thanks! Yes. The NATO clamp is actually a strong connection, shouldn’t have any issues using it as a side handle for your gimbal
can i use this for ak2000c?
It was so sunny outside I couldn't see my camera monitor. What's the best monitor for a really sunny day?
I use a sunhood with my ninja V and it makes it easy to see even out in bright sunny conditions here in AZ! just get a sunhood made by atomos or smallrig/8sinn that comes with the cage and you should be good! otherwise the new SmallHD Action 5 has 2000 nits brightness!
Where can I find the light and thin hdmi cable? Maybe hdmi and non-micro hdmi

Now so a video with a vertical mount
you can simply turn the monitor side ways on its vertical end and mount to one of the 1/4 20" threads on the monitor cage.
Is this HDMI cable support 4k 60fps Prores RAW from GH5S?
May I use 11" Tab with wifi connection instead of camera monitor or it will be too much huge on gimbal?
that would honestly be too big. it would definitely get in the way when trying to operate the gimbal. that's why I use a 5" monitor and not even a 7" one.
@@chadwin thanks 😀👍
Quick question, how did you get rid of the flickering from the lightstrip? Is it a hue light or something else?
they aren't hue lights. the led light tubes I'm using don't actually flicker at any shutter angle or frame rate i've tried. they're designed for video. RGB Chameleon geni.us/Chameleon
@@chadwin aha alright cool thanks.
Does this work with any Sony cameras?
Yes of course! I have only Sony camera now and it def works
thanks for the video. i was unable to find the thin hdmi cable from the link, the search result didnt show. has anyone got a link to that exact cable? thanks
Im just worried that the hdmi cord will get tangled as the camera is spinning and what not
it doesn't usually get tangled. Only if you go into selfie mode or are doing vertigo spinning mode. Otherwise, it works perfectly well!
Thanks!
But you have to put the gimbal down each time you need to angle the monitor? I’d say not very practical...
With enough finesse, you could probably do it one handed. If you’re on a shoot where you can’t take 30 seconds or less to adjust your monitor, that’s pretty crazy!
The hdmi cable, is for 10bit 422 and 60hz?
🙏 thanks
Yes, it maintains full 10bit quality.
@@chadwin thank you

I like to screw the tripod stand to the monitor mount to get another handle.
So when smallrig released the accessory for the rs2 will it work on my BESTVIEW 7INCH MONITOR.?
hmm....hard to say for sure. I've never put a 7" monitor on a gimbal before, it might hit the side if you use this mount.
What size hdmi? I find they’re either too long or too short..
I typically use 18" it's the perfect length for my gimbals.
This isn't an optinon with the Ronin S2, as the LCD screen gets in the way.
Just learned the long way that a coiled hdmi is *not* the answer for connecting your monitor to gimbal chassis! It pulls on the gimbal-- not usable! Thinny HDMI on the way now.
Are you also a mandarin speaker or the shirt is just random?
lol no, I wish! I literally just used google translate. It says Ninja Walk, or something along those lines. My brother actually speaks Mandarin tho.
@@chadwin I lived in Beijing for a decade so its the only reason I caught it.
Do these gimbals work for "lefties"?
Yep! Take it from me, I’m left handed. Haha
Could I get by with the 5.5 maybe?
