Hey dude great vid! Whats the range of the raveneye? I was thinking about buying one just to control my cam on range for taking vids of myself. Would that work?
@@user-dh5fp4gw1b that's a really good question, and I have no idea the answer to it. I haven't experienced any dropouts in the same room. This is probably dependant on your device's wifi range as you're using your device's wifi to connect to the RavenEye's wifi. So depending on how well your device can pick up that connection? I'll have to test that out with my iPhone!
@@keith-knittel its actually a pretty great idea like, lets say you want to take a pic for insta or something. Never do u have to use a remote for your camera anymore u can watch the screen and get a nice composition and just take the pic like that
The tips about locking the screen and turning a load of stuff off were great, as was the using the controls to get sports mode, which I prefer for more natural movement. Just got mine yesterday and really enjoying the improvements over the original Ronin-S, which has done me great service.
I agree, I paid a lot of money for Edelkrone slider and Headplus and it’s nothing but trouble. I live in Canada and every time I’m out in the cold it fails. I’ll bet DJI could build something that really works well.
@@javajack-1 I have a dead simple slider that was ~€350 and I'm going to try balancing the RS over the centre of the railing using the extension arm/foot and a cheese plate - it should be able to track subjects using raveneye
New to your channel. Really like your presentation style and your attention to detail. Super useful. Looking forward to seeing this channel grow. Oh, and great audio.
Wonderful review. But I am facing issues like. I have RS2 pro package with sony a7Riii. Sony doesn't give camera control settings on the phone like that of canon. Is there a solution for that?
Thank you - I made a camera connection cable guide on my channel in the RS2 playlist. That video should answer any questions you have with camera control cables! Thanks for watching and hope that is helpful ua-cam.com/video/T8Xt_aiV4QQ/v-deo.html
Hay bro I have the same gimbal, with the bm6 pro. The camera barley fits. Iam having trouble with the base plate that mounts to the gimbal, as it tends to loosen a bit and the balance goes crazy , also I have 2 focus motors and i dont have enough ports as i also have a ssd external card. the gimbal is cool just trying to work out the bugs
I'd love to have the option to put tracking points on certain positions of the screen and keep them there too! I hope DJI builds upon this and makes this better in the future! Thanks for watching and commenting
Really appreciate the shortcuts Keith. One question please, are we able to view video footages on the camera right after recording when the camera is still connected to the gimbal? many thanks...
Hey there karma - thanks for the kind words. You can still preview your footage on your camera. I haven’t used the ronin app for playback though. Sometimes it works, sometimes it glitches and doesn’t work. I think it was designed for viewing the camera feed, so when flipping into playback mode sometimes it lags. Great question
@@Mr48374837 Yeah, I wish there was a more defined spec sheet of what the raveneye could and couldn't do! Do you have to pull the HDMI cable out of the camera to view the playback on your camera at all? Which camera are you using?
hey mate, do you have an idea how to connect the raven eye with the gimble while using a D850 nikon. Also on the live view the options are limited so that even using the rec. button on the ronin is not workin ^^
Hey Eric, sorry I don’t have any Nikon cameras to test out. Maybe some Nikon users can help out here? Thanks for watching and hope you get your setup working. Make sure to check your camera compatibility in the link in the description
Is there any way to have the screen on the a7siii be on while connected to raven eye? I hate that I lose the touch to focus functionality when I connect to raven eye.
change the view mode of a7s3 screen and you can select if you prefer tracking or center focus. i don't know if it is a bug but i just discovert this! to change view mode push disp button. is your problem resolved?
This would have to be done on your camera, potentially you could do it with the gimbal if you're using the correct camera control cable and use the raveneye to adjust your exposure. Thanks for watching
Just an update for Camera Screen turning OFF on Sony A6500. If no external Monitor attached(Might Work). Menu- Last Tab(Suitcase)-4th Tab- HDMI Setting-- HDMI Info Display OFF- TC Output OFF- After Turning off HDMI Display,The Camera Screen Remain ON all the time.Every thing(Tracking , recording, Camera Preview on RS2 screen etc) woks as normal But only Limitation when you press preview button on Camera you can only preview on RS2 Screen.
You can mount a small mic to the top and balance your camera from there, but you probably wont be able to go into underslung mode. You can get some NATO adapters to mount to the side of the gimbal (on the left/right sides of the screen). I used a NATO handle with cold shoe mounts on the end to mount to the side of the gimbal, but the mobility of the gimbal will be limited. I might add these to a future video!
Hey Keith, Now that you've had a little more time playing around with the RS2, would you be able to tell me if there's the following feature? Does the RS2 have the Motionlapse? Also, can we save more than one track as presets? I'm trying to see if it's possible to shoot the same scene with exactly the same gimbal motion more than once over and over, for example, the same shot both in the daytime and nighttime... I won't be using it as a timelapse obviously, just 10-15 second shots
Does anyone experience a little bit of inconsistency with the follow focus motor? Like a slight jitter? DJI QC is garbage and their window of return (15 days) is very short. Trying to see if I'm the only person who got shafted.
OMG !!!! Thank you so, so much for being YOU !!! & not rambling on & on about ‘please subscribe to me with annoying musical intro’s & 2 min of promo Sq Space blather. Just pure, simple, intel to the viewer that conveys vital stats with clean easy to view content. Now’I’ll subscribe. 👍👍👏👏👏💪🏼🎥
Does anybody have problems triggering their Sony Cameras with the record button on the RSC2? I just tried with the latest firmware on my RSC2 and FX3 and it triggers the cameras record but it get's stuck, tally lights are red but the camera does not record and does not stop even from the camera. I have to turn the power off and force reboot the camera.... Any suggestions? The aperture works fine with the wheel. Connecting via USBc - USBc C remote activated...
Hey I was finding bit annoying with this gamble. Most of the other UA-camrs are demonstrating how easy to set up and to use. But as a real wedding and documentry cinematographer I like to say there are many down falls wile I use. When you fix a on camera pro mic like Rode or shure vp 83f etc you will not balance as that easy. Also when you are using canon R5/6 or Sony Alpha mirrorless bodies with revaneye, see how many cables are fixed to the body where the LCD will be blocked for top and low angle monitoring. So if some one can do a honest demonstration with using on camera mic (what is very essential for most of Weddings and event coverages) it will be very helpful for many Videographers out there. Cheers
Thanks for pointing that out, updated the description. I made a few gimbal videos and drone videos at the same time. Must have had drones on the brain haha. Thanks again, Alex!
Now I have tried the XBox Remote Controller for the RS2 but the con was that you cant monitoring what you do exept with expensive external hdmi transmitter directly to an extra monitor.To complicated on the go. To bad. In that case it has to be good eanaugh with the RavenEye and app.
Hello I have my raven eye. I did all the steps and two things I’m having trouble, i have no sound & I can’t green light on the raven. ? Please give some tips on what to do. I have videos my phone no sound. Thank you.🙏
hi i am new in gimbal, i have recently purchased a rs2 gimbal every this is OK every axis is balanced but some time when i do gimbal left down to up and to right down (some thigh like analogue volt meter needle ) my pan motor vibrates some time little bit but some time very hardly please help. am using sony a73 on gimbal
hi mate, a bit of a random one but is there anything in particular needed to go into protrait mode? When i scroll down to that mode it hovers over it then pops back up to the original mode (e.g. pan and follow) with the gimbal not moving. Any help would be appreciated
Portrait mode on gimbals is typically used for instagram stories or tiktok content, that you want to film in 9x16 for portrait-style videos. Not a random question at all! You might have to have your gimbal in a different orientation for the motors to spin around to portrait mode. Thanks for watching!
Hi, do you know if it is possible to use Nikon D7100 camera with Ronin s2 gimbal, and which cable should I use? Also which cable should I use for raven eye? Thank you.
Hey there, I'm not sure if that is compatible. Check the link in the description to the DJI compatibility list. I unfortunately don't have any Nikon cameras to test out. Thanks for watching - can any Nikon users comment here and let us know how Nikons work with the RS2?
Hey there, unfortunately I don’t have either of those cameras. The raveneye allows you to track objects though. I’ve used the raveneye to track subjects and use my a7siii’s eyeaf to focus on the subjects eyes. The systems can’t talk together though, and can only work independently of each other
DJI if you're reading these comments, develop a MoCo slider to pair with this gimbal and you won't be able to make them fast enough. Sincerely, everyone.
I thought saying to turn off features would be a little controversial, but glad other people like to turn off features that they don’t use! Thanks for the kind words
The best is your simplicity. Choosing the most probible defaults and skip the rest until you need them. Turn off the "kindergartens modes" and focus to your targets.
For sure! There are tons of features on the RS2, but knowing how to use a few modes well will allow you to shoot better shots. Thanks for watching, Magnus
Question from a newbie: Is there a way to attach this gimbal or any other type of gimbal to a chest or shoulder harness so I could walk with it for a long time and not have to hold it just with my arms ? Thank you very much.
If you plug your camera into a normal HDMI monitor will your camera get a feed? Are you using any camera control cables? I don't have a canon camera to test with this, but I know using a USBC camera control cable with my Sony cameras presents problems! Thanks for watching
My Problem with the Raveneye: I can Start and stop Recording on my Sony A7III, I can Control the Gimbal etc. BUT I don‘t get the Image displayed on the phone/gimbal. This only works when I use my NinjaV between the Camera and the Raveneye... and Suggestion what might be the problem? Thanks:)
Hey there Andrew, sorry I unfortunately don't have any videos aout the RS2 in portrait mode. I pretty much disable that mode straight away, but with instagram reels and tiktok that might change here in the near future. I'll keep that video in mind for the future!
I just got one your tutorial is excellent and helpful but could you plx give me some tips as i use 50 mm lens , i want to make smooth footage without any shakes , since I am using 50 mm lens I feel little shakiness plx help , i shoot food videos thanks alot
Tighter focal lengths like that are tough, make sure to adjust your active track setting. I’ve found some good results with lower sensitivity with 35mm+ lenses. That being said, wider is definitely easier to get steady footage. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Hey Keith, just subscribed to your channel! Was wondering if there's a way to use the raven eye without having deal with the app?? I film weddings and need a run and gun style without having to deal with a phone. I started with the original zhiyun crane and felt the need to upgrade! I'm also a fan of the arm handles and got them to distribute the weight since I'll be on my gimbal all day. Also how has the battery life been so far? Just from playing around with it in the house I'm already down to 70%. Thanks and I look forward to more content from you bro!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the support! You can, at 6:35 in this video I go over how to use Active Track without your phone! I'd love to get the twist grip handles for the RS2 but they're sold out (along with the 3D focus). Battery life is good if you're not using the RavenEye - but if you're using the RavenEye the battery life is significantly lower. I unplug the RavenEye if I'm not using it. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
@@keith-knittel quite welcome! Your stoke for videography shows bro! I used the rs2 on my last wedding and LOVED IT! Only issue though is to remember to lock the screen because it accidentally went into portrait mode during the first dance haha!!! Luckily I always have a second shooter filming with me. Definitely get the bars when they are available again! Cheers buddy!
Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm never sure how in-depth to go with these videos. I want them to be informative, but not boring. I figured balancing was something you really only need to learn once, so I left it out. Thanks for the feedback!
Great video , thanks Keith . A lot to take in , but put across in a straightforward and understandable manner ....thanks again , any updates please do another .
Holding the front trigger doesn't lock anything for me... Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there a way to actually lock the pan axis in order to keep the subject centered for exemple? Thanks!
@@keith-knittel Hi, thanks for the reply. I actually did a factory reset and all went back to normal! I just wish there was a way to lock the pan motor now... I don't get why DJI do not offer that option.
hi thank you very much thats was helpful tip. how do i turn off the M mode i accidentally pressing on a wedding while pressing the record button. thanks again
I have two RS2 units, both show Error 1009 upon doing a Gimbal Self Check, after a successful Calibration and Balance (Excellent on all three axes). It does not always fail, but fails enough for me to not count on it working correctly. I've sent them both the DJI for 'repair' and they replaced them both after finding the faults. Now both of the replacement units yield the same Error 1009. I'm mystified that four of four fail for me and I do not see that others are having the same issues. Any recommendations? Thanks
Hey there Bob, I'm not sure as I've never had an Error 1009 before, what is this error? Does the gimbal not work? Or does the calibration not work? Sorry to hear that, wish I could help more but I've never ran into this error
@@keith-knittel Thanks for responding, Its a Pan Axis Error, don't quote me but I've also seen 1005 and 1008, thinking they are Roll and Tilt respectively. The Unit seems to work, but I've not yet put them to work, fearing of a malfunction. I get to the test, not with the App, but with the RS2 screen by swiping right to left, then up until I see and choose More, then I select Gimbal Self Check. When/if my fails, it does so prior to reaching 20% . Thanks
So we got internal active track now, great... Now I wonder how long it will take the clever people at DJI to realize that we need a rule of thirds option in the tracking mechanism in order to make it remotely useful. So lets have 9 dots to choose from as to where the face/object track should be put.. like lower, middle, upper, left, center and right. Now if you wanna be real fancy, let the face tracker auto default to upper thirds and based on which way the head is turning, it tracks slightly to the left or to the right of the center.. comeon DJI show me you are the best! you can doooo it.. good boy.
Would love to see something like this!! The ability to place an active track subject on a certain spot of the frame would be perfect. Let’s hope the next versions offer this! Thanks for watching and commenting
Hi Keith, great video. Did you have a chance to play with way points ? I’m trying to use it as ptz camera so for example: M1 turn left and zoom in, M2 center zoom out, M3 center zoom in , but for video recording. I know Rhino has one but $1700 . Thanks. Sincerely Kristian
Question from a newbie: Is there a way to attach a gimbal like the DJI Ronin RS2 ( or something similar ) to a simpler and cheaper chest or shoulder harness/mount so I could walk/hike with it for a long time and not have to hold it just with my arms ? I am not a professional videographer so I can't afford anything like the Ready Rig. I just want stabilized video of walking and hiking on trails for my own enjoyment.
You should check out the Osmo pocket. I have a few videos about it in my channel - fantastic tiny camera for hiking and travel - and it weighs next to nothing
Hi Keith, Great video! You have any tips on how to connect the RS2 Tethered control? "Joystick error. Run auto-tune for the joystick and restart gimbal" Any suggestions or tips in doing this? Cheers,
@@keith-knittel - I had a lemon of control - I ended up getting it replaced as the "sleep" button on the tethered control which calibrates it (holding it till the 3 green lights turn on for calibration to the main) wasn't quite working. All fixed now :) Cheers
I love this Kimble compared and looked at literally over a hundred videos I think this Campbell's great I have one question though how come nobody and I mean so far I have not been able to find one single video or someone using this gamble with the ax53 which in my opinion would be an ideal match especially for people who are trying to go to take budget because they just want quality without spending a fortune
You mentioned a great funtction ... MACRO shots where you leave the gimble alone and use your phone for most controls. However with the FOCUS motor installed, how do you also zoom in/out from your phone WITHOUT touching the gimble? We have programmed the wheel at the front to work for focus motor, but now, how do you control this from your app on your phone and still have access to pan and tilt on the gimble? Thanks for the great work you do.
I’ve been using auto focus for situations like this, if you need to focus though you’ll probably need an external follow focus, while using the gimbal to zoom
@@keith-knittel Yes, I use Auto focus but I want to use ZOOM (not focus) so .. I want to be able to have the focus wheel turn my zoom lense but do this from my phone, not from the wheel on the gimble. The idea is to be totally free/wireless of the gimble, while changing the pan/tilt etc by simply moving my phone. Thanks for your quick response.
@@AjamSonic Ooh, I'm sorry! I must have read that too quickly and thought you wanted to use the focus and zoom at the same time. I'm not aware of any way to use the Ronin app to use zoom or focus. Only things like start/stop recording and camera settings. You might have to use an external system to make this work the way you're imagining. I think you could use the extension handle with the cable that DJI sells on their website, but it's not truly "wireless" then

I really enjoy this information. I am first time user with DJI Rs2. My question is we can lock axis while shooting ??
Yes you can! Different gimbal modes lock different axis or you can manually adjust them yourself.
how would you mount a microphone to this, just on top of the camera or is there a suitable clamp to go on the side?
You can mount a small mic to the top and balance your camera from there, but you probably wont be able to go into underslung mode. You can get some NATO adapters to mount to the side of the gimbal (on the left/right sides of the screen). I used a NATO handle with cold shoe mounts on the end to mount to the side of the gimbal, but the mobility of the gimbal will be limited. I might add these to a future video!
I mount mine on top. Sony has a new digital shotgun, no cables that has awesome sound. I just used it for a television commercial.
Hey Keith,
Now that you've had a little more time playing around with the RS2, would you be able to tell me if there's the following feature?
Does the RS2 have the Motionlapse? Also, can we save more than one track as presets?
I'm trying to see if it's possible to shoot the same scene with exactly the same gimbal motion more than once over and over, for example, the same shot both in the daytime and nighttime...
I won't be using it as a timelapse obviously, just 10-15 second shots
Does anyone experience a little bit of inconsistency with the follow focus motor? Like a slight jitter? DJI QC is garbage and their window of return (15 days) is very short. Trying to see if I'm the only person who got shafted.

Portrait mode on gimbals is typically used for instagram stories or tiktok content, that you want to film in 9x16 for portrait-style videos. Not a random question at all! You might have to have your gimbal in a different orientation for the motors to spin around to portrait mode. Thanks for watching!
super tense haha. Definitely scared of touching the front trigger one extra time 🤣
Why my rs2 was not able to connect Canon R6 pls suggest it's showing connect rs2 to activate it
Sorry, I don't have a canon r6 to test this out with. I wish I did! Can any canon users help them out?
Hi, do you know if it is possible to use Nikon D7100 camera with Ronin s2 gimbal, and which cable should I use? Also which cable should I use for raven eye? Thank you.
Hey there, I'm not sure if that is compatible. Check the link in the description to the DJI compatibility list. I unfortunately don't have any Nikon cameras to test out. Thanks for watching - can any Nikon users comment here and let us know how Nikons work with the RS2?
Thx for this cool Video. Can you tell us, how I can use the powerful Face AF from Sony R4 or A1 and 3D Tracking from the Raveneye?
Hey there, unfortunately I don’t have either of those cameras. The raveneye allows you to track objects though. I’ve used the raveneye to track subjects and use my a7siii’s eyeaf to focus on the subjects eyes. The systems can’t talk together though, and can only work independently of each other
DJI if you're reading these comments, develop a MoCo slider to pair with this gimbal and you won't be able to make them fast enough. Sincerely, everyone.
@@keith-knittel and with DJI the mobile app will be way better than what I've experienced with edelkrone
Fantastic video. Super helpful! 🙏🏻 Thanks for making it! Turning options off FTW! 🙌🏻
I thought saying to turn off features would be a little controversial, but glad other people like to turn off features that they don’t use! Thanks for the kind words
Thank you so much for making this video! Really helpful! Especially love the shortcut introduction.
Glad it was helpful and thanks for the feedback! Will try to include more shortcuts in future videos!
Great. Yeah this thing's been a beast but being so feature rich, takes practice
Thanks Keith for this Video!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
The best is your simplicity. Choosing the most probible defaults and skip the rest until you need them. Turn off the "kindergartens modes" and focus to your targets.
For sure! There are tons of features on the RS2, but knowing how to use a few modes well will allow you to shoot better shots. Thanks for watching, Magnus
Question from a newbie: Is there a way to attach this gimbal or any other type of gimbal to a chest or shoulder harness so I could walk with it for a long time and not have to hold it just with my arms ? Thank you very much.
Just answered your question in another comment
thank you so much شكرا يا رجل على الفديو
You’re welcome and thanks for watching
you are good, i have canon 5d mark4 followed your tutorial, my connected iphone is not displaying the view from the camera, please help advice
If you plug your camera into a normal HDMI monitor will your camera get a feed? Are you using any camera control cables? I don't have a canon camera to test with this, but I know using a USBC camera control cable with my Sony cameras presents problems! Thanks for watching
My Problem with the Raveneye: I can Start and stop Recording on my Sony A7III, I can Control the Gimbal etc. BUT I don‘t get the Image displayed on the phone/gimbal. This only works when I use my NinjaV between the Camera and the Raveneye... and Suggestion what might be the problem? Thanks:)
Do you have any vids on shooting with the RS2 portrait mode? Do you need a extra base plate?
Hey there Andrew, sorry I unfortunately don't have any videos aout the RS2 in portrait mode. I pretty much disable that mode straight away, but with instagram reels and tiktok that might change here in the near future. I'll keep that video in mind for the future!
I just got one your tutorial is excellent and helpful but could you plx give me some tips as i use 50 mm lens , i want to make smooth footage without any shakes , since I am using 50 mm lens I feel little shakiness plx help , i shoot food videos thanks alot
Tighter focal lengths like that are tough, make sure to adjust your active track setting. I’ve found some good results with lower sensitivity with 35mm+ lenses. That being said, wider is definitely easier to get steady footage. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
@@keith-knittel thanks alot
Now that we have the dji 4d how do you all feel about the rs2 features?
One of the best video. Very brief. I bought this device and could find any which can teach how to operate this thank you for sharing 😊
You’re welcome! Thank you for the kind words and glad to help!
Thanks. I am desperately looking for the reverse follow focus motor setting. Any idea where to find it?
Sorry, I haven’t used the follow focus on this gimbal in a while - if I come across anything I’ll link it below
I am unable to enter into 360 or portrait modes when i follow shortcuts or manually go into that mode.. what could be going wrong.
Did you disable these modes in the app?
Hey Keith, just subscribed to your channel! Was wondering if there's a way to use the raven eye without having deal with the app?? I film weddings and need a run and gun style without having to deal with a phone. I started with the original zhiyun crane and felt the need to upgrade! I'm also a fan of the arm handles and got them to distribute the weight since I'll be on my gimbal all day. Also how has the battery life been so far? Just from playing around with it in the house I'm already down to 70%. Thanks and I look forward to more content from you bro!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the support! You can, at 6:35 in this video I go over how to use Active Track without your phone! I'd love to get the twist grip handles for the RS2 but they're sold out (along with the 3D focus). Battery life is good if you're not using the RavenEye - but if you're using the RavenEye the battery life is significantly lower. I unplug the RavenEye if I'm not using it. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
@@keith-knittel quite welcome! Your stoke for videography shows bro! I used the rs2 on my last wedding and LOVED IT! Only issue though is to remember to lock the screen because it accidentally went into portrait mode during the first dance haha!!! Luckily I always have a second shooter filming with me. Definitely get the bars when they are available again! Cheers buddy!
Hi Keith, thank you so much for this video. i wonder if you can help, enable force is not responding, any idea?
Do you have your raveneye cables in the correct slot on the front of your RS2?
Well done Presentation! I would like to send it to a DJI Rep I know if you don't mind.
Thank for the kind words, and of course! Go for it!
Super helpful video. I am currenty evaluating a gimbal for my A1 and this could be the one.
Great to hear! Wish I had an A1 to gets this out with, thats an awesome-looking camera! Congrats on an awesome kit! Thanks for watching
Great vid, mate. precise and no BS tutorial and gets the points across perfectly, thanks for sharing :)
Holding the mode and trigger at the same time was probably my favorite next to the disabling of the portrait and 360 modes.
Great tips. I have the RSC2, but a lot of information here translates over, with the exception of touch screen stuff.
Glad it was helpful! I havent gotten my hands on a RSC2 yet, but would like to - looks like an interesting gimbal. Thanks for watching
@@keith-knittel It's very similar to the RS2, just a little smaller, little less weight capacity, and the screen isn't a touch screen.
Awesome tutorial! My DJI gimbal arrives today and this will be so helpful!
Glad it was helpful and congrats on your new gimbal! It's a beast!
Very Nice walkthrough - thanks mate - and thanks for not wasting time going through balancing ha ha 😛
Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm never sure how in-depth to go with these videos. I want them to be informative, but not boring. I figured balancing was something you really only need to learn once, so I left it out. Thanks for the feedback!
Great video , thanks Keith . A lot to take in , but put across in a straightforward and understandable manner ....thanks again , any updates please do another .
Thanks for the kind words! I have a new follow up video for the RS2 coming out soon
So now i will definitely buy it. Thank you for this very good video. You explained the features that made me buying it 😂
You're welcome! If you enjoy the video - I have an affiliate link in the description. Helps me make more videos like this in the future.
Very helpful, thanks! My RS2 is arriving today!
Congrats on the new gimbal and thanks for the kind words!
Holding the front trigger doesn't lock anything for me... Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there a way to actually lock the pan axis in order to keep the subject centered for exemple? Thanks!
Are you able to double tap the trigger to return the gimbal to center?
@@keith-knittel Hi, thanks for the reply. I actually did a factory reset and all went back to normal! I just wish there was a way to lock the pan motor now... I don't get why DJI do not offer that option.
Can you use the RS2 with gloves or am I forced to use the touchscreen with bare hands? Filming outside in Winter with gloves...
Just tried it with gloves and it was a nightmare. I'd say only use your bare hands.
@@keith-knittel Thanks for testing this... So the RSC2 would be the better pick since it has buttons to navigate the screen
how to put rs2 to for vertical shooting mode
hi thank you very much thats was helpful tip. how do i turn off the M mode i accidentally pressing on a wedding while pressing the record button. thanks again
Glad you found the video helpful! I’m not sure if you can turn the m button off. That’s a good question, I’ll dig into that a little more!
@Keith Knittel please while i am pressing the record button i sm pressing mistakenly tonthe M button especially on wedding devastating
Man, fantastic video. Everything I needed to know!
Glad to help out! Thanks for watching!
I have two RS2 units, both show Error 1009 upon doing a Gimbal Self Check, after a successful Calibration and Balance (Excellent on all three axes). It does not always fail, but fails enough for me to not count on it working correctly. I've sent them both the DJI for 'repair' and they replaced them both after finding the faults. Now both of the replacement units yield the same Error 1009. I'm mystified that four of four fail for me and I do not see that others are having the same issues. Any recommendations? Thanks
Hey there Bob, I'm not sure as I've never had an Error 1009 before, what is this error? Does the gimbal not work? Or does the calibration not work? Sorry to hear that, wish I could help more but I've never ran into this error
@@keith-knittel Thanks for responding, Its a Pan Axis Error, don't quote me but I've also seen 1005 and 1008, thinking they are Roll and Tilt respectively. The Unit seems to work, but I've not yet put them to work, fearing of a malfunction. I get to the test, not with the App, but with the RS2 screen by swiping right to left, then up until I see and choose More, then I select Gimbal Self Check. When/if my fails, it does so prior to reaching 20% . Thanks
This is great video thanks.. Mine just arrived and I have a lot to learn. Which is awesome as I love things that take a long time to master
So we got internal active track now, great...
Now I wonder how long it will take the clever people at DJI to realize that we need a rule of thirds option in the tracking mechanism in order to make it remotely useful.
So lets have 9 dots to choose from as to where the face/object track should be put.. like lower, middle, upper, left, center and right.
Now if you wanna be real fancy, let the face tracker auto default to upper thirds and based on which way the head is turning, it tracks slightly to the left or to the right of the center..
comeon DJI show me you are the best! you can doooo it.. good boy.
Would love to see something like this!! The ability to place an active track subject on a certain spot of the frame would be perfect. Let’s hope the next versions offer this! Thanks for watching and commenting
I know DJI has some lidar tech that they're working on too, it'll be interesting to see what firmware updates come for the rs2 in the near future
Wait for rs3
prepared to be hydrated LOL thanks for the laff
Hi Keith, great video. Did you have a chance to play with way points ? I’m trying to use it as ptz camera so for example: M1 turn left and zoom in, M2 center zoom out, M3 center zoom in , but for video recording. I know Rhino has one but $1700 . Thanks. Sincerely Kristian
Thanks for the heads up. Is it possible to change the joystick direction?
Not that I know of - I think there is only the default direction
Question from a newbie: Is there a way to attach a gimbal like the DJI Ronin RS2 ( or something similar ) to a simpler and cheaper chest or shoulder harness/mount so I could walk/hike with it for a long time and not have to hold it just with my arms ? I am not a professional videographer so I can't afford anything like the Ready Rig. I just want stabilized video of walking and hiking on trails for my own enjoyment.
You should check out the Osmo pocket. I have a few videos about it in my channel - fantastic tiny camera for hiking and travel - and it weighs next to nothing
I’m not aware of any cheap and light weight rigs for hiking
Hi Keith,
Great video!
You have any tips on how to connect the RS2 Tethered control?
"Joystick error. Run auto-tune for the joystick and restart gimbal"
Any suggestions or tips in doing this?
Cheers,
Thanks James, I haven’t ran into that error before. Did it go away after running an auto tune/Calibration?
@@keith-knittel - I had a lemon of control - I ended up getting it replaced as the "sleep" button on the tethered control which calibrates it (holding it till the 3 green lights turn on for calibration to the main) wasn't quite working. All fixed now :) Cheers
I love this Kimble compared and looked at literally over a hundred videos I think this Campbell's great I have one question though how come nobody and I mean so far I have not been able to find one single video or someone using this gamble with the ax53 which in my opinion would be an ideal match especially for people who are trying to go to take budget because they just want quality without spending a fortune
You mentioned a great funtction ... MACRO shots where you leave the gimble alone and use your phone for most controls. However with the FOCUS motor installed, how do you also zoom in/out from your phone WITHOUT touching the gimble? We have programmed the wheel at the front to work for focus motor, but now, how do you control this from your app on your phone and still have access to pan and tilt on the gimble? Thanks for the great work you do.
I’ve been using auto focus for situations like this, if you need to focus though you’ll probably need an external follow focus, while using the gimbal to zoom
Thanks for the kind words and watching!
@@keith-knittel Yes, I use Auto focus but I want to use ZOOM (not focus) so .. I want to be able to have the focus wheel turn my zoom lense but do this from my phone, not from the wheel on the gimble. The idea is to be totally free/wireless of the gimble, while changing the pan/tilt etc by simply moving my phone. Thanks for your quick response.
@@AjamSonic Ooh, I'm sorry! I must have read that too quickly and thought you wanted to use the focus and zoom at the same time. I'm not aware of any way to use the Ronin app to use zoom or focus. Only things like start/stop recording and camera settings. You might have to use an external system to make this work the way you're imagining. I think you could use the extension handle with the cable that DJI sells on their website, but it's not truly "wireless" then
Is there a way to toggle between manual focus and auto focus camera with ronin buttons ?
I don't think there is a way to do this, the ronin buttons control the features on the gimbal
