Thanks! I'm pretty excited what I can capture with such a simple rig. I'll probably run it like this for a while and then eventually upgrade to a proper motorized setup.
This use case is where CMOS sensors suck with rolling shutter, lots of vertical lines passing by fast really screams for a global shutter. Also wiring a basic RC brushless motor to a lipo isn't hard for cheap and would allow way more flexibility
Thanks for watching. I don't mind the rolling shutter myself but would be fun to try with a global shutter for sure. I've debating putting more into this rig to make it battery powered but think I'll likely invest in a premade solution when I'm ready to step up to the next level.
@@ScottBell We are also planning to use the Mars for a cable cam. Only difference to your setup ist, that we need to have it stream to our monitor AND to a TV Wagon for Live coverage.
@@Spinfast Ah I see. You could probably do this though I don't think the quality is high enough to do this reliably without occasional signal drop/poor footage quality. It's fine for monitoring but not picture perfect for viewing. I would look at a higher end model from Hollyland if you are doing live coverage.
Hey, thanks for watching. Check the playlist on my channel all about this cable cam set up. Details on the controller are there. It should with with the sc2 but you'll need the focus controller from the Ronin s to connect it.
Thanks Christophe. Check my channel, I posted a video about how to connect it to the Ronin S. To connect to the RS2 you'll need to purchase the focus wheel that came with the Ronin S.
Cheers, thanks for watching. You could motorize it for sure. I'm happy with the gravity powered rig for now. I'll prob just buy a ready built system if I go motorized.
Hey, thanks for watching. Nothing special for balancing. I balance on the ground first, run the auto calibrate feature and then flip it to inverted mode and mount it on the cable. Never had any issues. Send me a vid on IG of what you are experiencing and I can give you my thoughts.
My only a biggest issue. All cable cam sistems are a long straight shot.there is no left,right shots.just one long straight video shot.a big down for myself.
Hey, thanks for watching. I'm not sure if I totally understand what you mean but generally the idea with a cable cam shot is that it follows the action for an extended period of time with the subject in the middle of the frame. The camera is moving left and right to ensure that is happening. Cable shots aren't for everyone, but I love them!
@@ScottBell hi scott.what I meant is the fact,you can only go straight can't go to the left or right.I could use a cable cam that would go on circles.on the daily basis.tnx for your time.
This is how they did it in lord of the rings at the end of the furst movie boromirs death, They roll a camera down the hill alongside with the enemy asthe Setting of the battle shifted
It's soooo much fun. Yup, connected via the sbus on the focus wheel. I plan to do a quick breakdown video here before long. There are bits and bobs of information about it on the internet, but nothing super comprehensive so requires a bit of tinkering.
Sometimes we forget the amount of work it takes to pull off amazing shots. Thanks so much for sharing the BTS and the process. 🙌
The cable cam can sure be a project! Thanks for watching.
That last shot was on point!
Cheers, thanks Luke! Was pumped when I got it.
Super Rad! I love seeing alternative uses for gimbals, such a versatile piece of gear when one thinks outside of the box!
Yup. And with a gimbal like the Ronin-S you have pro level connections which is awesome!
What is not to love about the adventure of FILM MAKING.... & working it out with friends who collaborate with you. 👍🏻📽💪🏼💪🏼🎥🎥
Cheers, thanks for watching. I appreciate the comment :)
Looks so good man! Love watching all of that come together!
Thanks for watching Danny. The rig is finally pretty maxed out. Maybe remote cable release in the works but otherwise gonna fly like this for a while.
Nice work Scott!
Thanks Stan, great to have you out filming!
Dope. Stocked for you, Scott. The tight shots are sick.
Thanks! I'm stoked on the tight shots as well. Gotta keep practicing!
this is the best DIY gravity rig...sick footy, mate
Thanks! I'm pretty excited what I can capture with such a simple rig. I'll probably run it like this for a while and then eventually upgrade to a proper motorized setup.
Outstanding shots man !! Great review 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the shots!
This is so sick
Cheers, thanks Rob. Appreciate you watching!
Amped to see this set come together. SUPER PRO footage man! Keep it up!
Thanks dude! I'm pretty happy with how it all worked out. Can't wait to shoot with it some more.
That is pretty awesome stuff! Very cool
Thanks guys! It's a fun rig.
Just subscribed because of this video. So sick!
Awesome to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for subscribing.
@@ScottBell thank you! I also shoot a lot of bike videos, so this is definitely my jam!
So. Friggin'. Cool. I wanna come join you guys!! 😝
Can't wait for the next episode man.
Cheers! /Fred
Thanks Fred! Having some fun for sure!
Great shot!
Cheers, thanks Ian!
Wow, been looking for something like this for a long time! Great!
Awesome, hope you can figure out a good solution for your work. Thanks for watching.
@@ScottBell Yep, I meant the wireless gimbal connection. That's what I need on a cinelifter drone :).
@@rubenvaneupen7327 Cool, good luck with it!
@@ScottBell thx :).
you inspired me to make a cable cam myself thank you👍👍🚵🏻♂️
And the results are so cool👍👍
That's so awesome to hear! Good luck with the build. Thanks for watching.
great job on this scott! and nice control on the panning, I know it is hard to get that fine and smooth control!
Thanks Kyle. It's a real delicate operation but so worth it!
This is so good. Well done!
Cheers, thanks for watching Dominic!
Awesome footage and smart rig! Using a gimbal plus wireless HDMI is a great idea.
Thanks Scott. And yes, the wireless HDMI from the Hollyland Mars 300 is sooooo nice.
Well done! 🙏🏾
Thanks Eugene, appreciate you watching!

Hey Scott - can the Mars 300 Pro transmit to a RX of a LIVE TV input at the same time?
Thanks for watching, I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Happy to help but give me a bit more detail of what you are trying to do.

Hi Scott, can you tell me where you got the remote controller from and if it works with a ronin sc2 ?
Hey, thanks for watching. Check the playlist on my channel all about this cable cam set up. Details on the controller are there. It should with with the sc2 but you'll need the focus controller from the Ronin s to connect it.
Great. How to connect the remote control to the gimbal ??? This is also possible with a dji rs 2? Can you give details about it?
Thanks Christophe. Check my channel, I posted a video about how to connect it to the Ronin S. To connect to the RS2 you'll need to purchase the focus wheel that came with the Ronin S.
Ot bad for under a 100, anyway to motorize it, and be able to track more closely?
Cheers, thanks for watching. You could motorize it for sure. I'm happy with the gravity powered rig for now. I'll prob just buy a ready built system if I go motorized.
Where can we get the cable cam system?
Thanks for watching. I assembled it all myself. Take a look at the playlist on my channel all about the process.
Bro, I have a motorized cable cam and I can't for the life of me get my ronin s balanced right on it. It just swings on it. How are you doing it?

Haha nice!
This is insane, I've never thought to use a rc transmitter to control the ronin. Is that tethered separately through the s-bus on the focus wheel?
It's soooo much fun. Yup, connected via the sbus on the focus wheel. I plan to do a quick breakdown video here before long. There are bits and bobs of information about it on the internet, but nothing super comprehensive so requires a bit of tinkering.
@@ScottBell Hey there! This is really awesome! I would love to see that how to video as well!
@@nathanwoodsheart Cheers, thanks Nathan. I'll definitely put it on the list for a video soon.
@@ScottBell Thank you so much! I'm really digging this content man! Keep it up!
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment.
I made a cable cam with a gopro and a loo role 😂
Awesome haha, hope it works well for ya!
How the fuck your voices sounds like in an office but you are in the milddle of the forest? Nice work place BTW (not jealous).
Awesome video. Great team work. Awesome work.
