I love how you're still being completely honest and state out the pros and the cons even though you're sponsored. I love your work and I'll be waiting for another upload!
Hello, my name is Paulo, I am 59 years old and I live in Brazil. Watching your videos is always a pleasure, although I speak English a little fast, I can understand almost everything. The quality of your images, the audio and especially the content and the simple and objective way you do, make our lives easier. Thank you for producing such good videos. Congratulations!
Parker Walbeck, you are always the best teacher to me! haha I started My youtube channel after watching your film course!!! my video getting better cuz you!! thank you !! from south korea
When Parker posts a video about the RONIN SC before DJI itself post it on their Social channels x) Thanks for the review, It fits so good for me as a traveler.
that means he is making business/pushing a product from a company who knowlingly screws their customers, showing that he is just a guy who wants to make money and sell his own courses as best as he can.
great that it works for you, I was looking for more promising experiences(such as yours) as the sigma 16 is a pretty heavy lens!! if you could answer :) any restrictions/workaround you faced? what about the active track? (since it will add more weight)
3 of my favorite youtubers all uploaded a review on the Ronin-SC at the exact same time!, Tom's Tech Time and iPhonedo also did a great job. You all have different styles of presenting reviews, and I honestly love all of them. Thanks Parker for your quick review that always covers cover the options and key points. The active track is pretty tight, that rule of 3rds option is amazing for newer gimbal users. Hopefully they update Force Mobile so you can see what the camera sees through a software update.
A very good job from you, I normally don't watch long video reviews but the pacing of your voice is so engaging and rich that I had no choice than to watch everything.
All new feature firmware update is there for Ronin-S ...I was asking the same question and went on google play yeapp in the "whats new" updates it has now Tracking mode and the force mode too " check your app and update
I’ve been using this thing with my a73+cage & tamaron 28-75 and this thing handles it very well! Was shocked and I just discovered FPV mode so I’m loving it!
Killer review, shame that DJI didn't consider weight distribution in the design of this. Mirrorless is small, but the lenses are usually pretty hefty and/or long.
It depends on what sort of shooter you are. The SC is clearly designed with shorter lighter primes in mind. I'm strongly considering this. The 28mm f/2.0, 35mm f/2.8 (until I get the new f/1.8), 55mm f/1.8, and even 85mm f/1.8 are all short, light, and compact enough to fully rotate. The whole point to me is to get smaller, lighter, and more compact (on not just this but all gimbals). The original Ronin-S and it's competitors (like the Crane Lab 3, and Air 2) are just way too heavy to consider for all day or travel shooting. I would say if you're shooting on zooms you already have 3 gimbal options, but you're going to need a bigger and heavier setup.
There's loads of excellent small lenses. Sony 28mm f2, 55mm f1.8, 85mm f1.8, samyang24 f2.8 ect. If you intend to buy an f1.4 them this gimbal isn't for you.
@@Zetaphotography lmao good thing i can answer that now.. I came very far since than😭…looking back that question sound dumb af, I tried the sc and I would nvr buy it.. rather have the s all day
Bought Ronin S about month ago. A6000 was too light and induced shaking in gimbal Switched to a6400 balances easily. Still too light for perfect stabilization..... I'm lost as I want to switch to this but I do not know if this will be better ://
I ended up getting the Ronin SC mainly because I have a light Mirrorless camera (Canon EOS R) and I have a small canon 24mm lens. I won't be able to zoom, however, I realize later that I'm going to be moving around with the SC, so I don't need to zoom. So that is why I went with the Ronin SC. It saved me a lot of money and it did what I needed it to do.
Hi Parker! my bf is a wedding videographer and I started working with him. I still have alot to learn but I do learn alot watching your videos and I also follow Kaylor, she inspires me alot too because just being a girl in this field that is dominated more by man inspires me to let go of my fears. My bf has a Ronin S and is super heavy and I just saw the Ronin SC at the DJI store and I loved it. What sold me out on it is not only that i lighter but also the Lock feature on the SC (my bf's ronin S goes crazy spinning on me when I grab it lol). My bf learned alot following you and and I'm learning too. I love your videos. I hope to meet you and Kaylor one day too! Hello from Phoenix AZ!!!!
thank for this honest review, I have limited budget and wanted to start creating content. learning as a beginner and having not to spend a lot of money to start is kinda good motivation for newbies like me. hope one day I can create something that people will enjoy to watch
I love this gimbal. I have a Sony A7iii with a Sony 20mm F1.8G. It’s a perfect set up for me. I originally bought the Ronin S but took it back cause it was too heavy.
i think ronin-S should have an update to include these features too. Else people who bought the bigger and more expensive device would felt betrayed by the brand
Any idea if these new software features will be rolled out to the Ronin-S as well? As a solo film maker the active track could be game changing for filling yourself
Great video and inspirational channel Parker. Because of you and your videos I want to try Real Estate and Cinematic Stock Videography. I'll start with small budget, so thinking to get Sony a6300 (no IBIS) + some kind of stabilization. What would you recommend for stabilization for this or similar small and light camera, what are best budget friendly options around $200-450 for Real Estate filming? Is this new DJI Ronin-SC best option at this moment? I saw also your video comparison of handheld stabilizers.. Not sure what would bring nice professional results at the beginner stage - too difficult use or uncertain results can be discouraging..
I am having A6400 + small rig cage + sigma 16mm i was going for crane 3 and then stopped thinking about Ronin SC ....Does it fit me? For one choice without considering the portability >>>> Ronin SC or Crane 3
Presumably you'd be better off with a wide focal length so that the camera is at least slightly mimicking the focal length of the phone camera...speaking about the tracking feature
As you can see from the video, the dude uses an iPhone with Bluetooth 4.0 . what makes it clear that there is no need for Bluetooth 5.0 for activetrack 3.0 and Force Mobile. This means that this is a temporary marketing feature for selling ronin sc!!!
I have the same question, I looked at the app and it seems like it's exclusive to ronin SC which is very disappointing seeing that I am an owner of the Ronin S.
Thanks for all that information. Really helpful. I was thinking of trading in my S for the SC but you are right I would not balance properly. I know with the Ronin S i've been able to swap lenses on the camera while leaving the camera on the gimbal and even though the lenses have different weights the gimbal had no problem adjusting to a setup that was not balanced properly. saves a ton of time when you want to work quick. Thanks for the video.
As always Parker, your videos are amazing and I learn a lot from them. It would be nice to know if Ronin SC could support the same A7III + Tamron 28-75mm setup, but using the battery grip. The battery grip makes the camera a little higher maybe it could be a problem for the balance. I like this new Ronin SC. I will wait a little more. Thanks Parker Walbeck , Greetings from México....
NO NO NO.... We need the firmware updated for the original ronin Since we were all beta testers it would be great if DJI would support the original adopters
Thank you for the in-depth review Parker. I agree that it just doesn't look as stable or cinematic to me as the Ronin-S. In all the reviews I've seen of the SC so far, the jitters while walking (or especially while running) make it worth carrying the extra weight of the Ronin-S in my opinion. And like you said, while the new phone features are nice, I think that would just slow me down instead of focusing on getting the shot quickly.
You can but you would need to install focus motor and instead of attaching it to focus ring you would attach belt on zoom ring. If you change zoom during shooting manually it would very likely look crap. You can also shoot wider than 50mm and zoom in post. That would be the smoothest and easiest way.
i learnt so many things from you guys and thanks for that . I will keep learning from you and please keep posting educational videos like this . i am owning a sony a6100 . I am actually confused what gimbal to buy but totally clear now .
App update does not include these features under the Ronin S The only thing I wish my Ronin S had is that LOCK system...still gonna rock with my RoninS
Thanks for another great review Parker!! Just finished your FCPX editing course and it has definitely helped me a ton!! I can totally tell the difference in my latest videos!!
I have a buddy who's selling this as extra, and I'm excited- I work with a Nikon D5200 (crucify me, I know) and an 18-55 Nikkor lens. Thank you for this video Parker! This just solidified my thoughts that this was right for me being a bidding videographer! I'm still looking for a second camera to use primarily with this gimbal (like an A series or an EOS) and I'll relegate my Nikon to tripod duty, but we'll see.
I love how you're still being completely honest and state out the pros and the cons even though you're sponsored. I love your work and I'll be waiting for another upload!
But he's not sponsored. He stated that he's not being paid to create this review.

Really hope Active Track comes to Ronin-S. That's a feature worth having.
Agreed!
The only thing that tickles my fancy is the active track.
6:57 wow those dirts on the sensor
I started shooting with a Sony A6300. I think this is the ideal equipment for my filming. Dji always getting over!
Thinking about getting one too for my a6300
I bought the Ronin S yesterday.... I'm kicking myself to say the least
SAME HERE! F******CKKK
lol i just bought mine a few weeks ago!!
Bought Ronin S about month ago.
A6000 was too light and induced shaking in gimbal
Switched to a6400 balances easily. Still too light for perfect stabilization.....

@@deividaslaukionis what lens were you using with the a6000?
I've seen many reviews about many things and this is one of the best I've ever seen. Thanks
Well, Ronin-SC just launch today and you had review it? Great!
Unggul Kirindi he already filmed it but he couldn’t upload it because of the agreement he made with dji.

TODAY IS THE DAY. My Ronin s has the active track
@@bosimvideoproduction836 what about the phone mimick
they can't due to bluetooth bandwidth restrictions
Now is ok?

Great video Bro
Just bought this a had no idea how to use it. This video helped me to understand more about the gimbal.
i think ronin-S should have an update to include these features too. Else people who bought the bigger and more expensive device would felt betrayed by the brand
in return hurting the loyalty in the long run
I agree, the Ronin S literally came out last year.
VISION0STUDIO no, there is no active track and other stuff for Ronin S.
@@CARdiologyTV ohhh wow your right this is really sad for us Ronin S user ... Bummer from DJI
VISION0STUDIO Dji will. i heard from the forum
Thanks for letting me know that The eye piece needs to be taken off for A7iii with Tamron 28-75 combination.
Any idea if these new software features will be rolled out to the Ronin-S as well? As a solo film maker the active track could be game changing for filling yourself
Dylan K Johnson I hope they do, and $436 or whatever it was, is way too much. Isn’t the ronin-s now a steady $500?
Panasonic GH5-S with a Lumix 14-140 lens balances fine without hitting back motor, just FYI. Love the gimbal!
oohh boi thats a dirty sensor you got there
Thanks for this review Parker, always great to have an overview for new features on latest technologies! Keep up the good work!
hello
Thanks for the video 🤙🏾 makes me feel better about my Ronin s 😅 couple updates I’d love to see in the s though 👍🏾
6:56 omg that sensor =) =P thanks Parker for your videos. Always great to watch your videos =)
Let’s take a poll, if you agree that DJI should update their ronin-s with these software features as well give a like 👍🏻
I like how honest you are with your reviews. If something sucks, you say it LOL. Keep it up.
man, DJI should pay you for this, no joke.
Wauw no commercials!!! +1 👍 Respect 🙏
Will these features be coming to the ronin-s? I REALLY HOPE SOO. Fingers Crossed on this one!
I love a good smooth shot 🙄
4:48 reminds me of Atom in Real steel.
Love from Indonesia guys ❤
Wonder if this would work with an automated slider to keep the camera on you as the slider moves.
yes, has active track
Best review and best review style. Hits every point and fast.
More impressed with that neighbourhood!
I believe Smallrig makes some counterweights to address the issue of front-heavy setups 👍🏼👍🏼
Any comparisons out there between this and the Zhiyun Weebil?
I bought the Ronin S this morning only to find out the SC came out, i have a Sony A7iii. I ordered the SC and i'm returning the S tomorrow morning.
Luis Molina still have the setup ? looking to do a switch aswell from ronin s to sc

I fitted a canon 7d mark ii DSLR with 18-75mm lens. Pretty big set-up and it fits perfectly fine.
Thank god. I thought I was gonna have to find a way to return the Ronin S I bought 2 weeks ago
What happens when you zoom in or out on the tamron 28-75 ???
They should update ronnin s. Or make new ronin M. Or just make some handles like ronin M.
Thanks for video review
They released dual handles for Ronin S but it costs 99 eur 😒
BUMMER 😂
Im still using RONIN-M and I really need an update. But ronin s is just heavier than ronin M
This was extremely helpful thank you.
