Whenever I look for SC tutorials, everything I get is f…ing balancing tutorials. I don’t care about balancing, because I already figured it. I want to know how to set it up in a mode that is similar to what IBIS would do, but the sudden jumps the some IBIS cameras do (example Fuji) when you start moving with IBIS on. Thank you for a great tutorial!
What I really like about your videos is the fact that you are straight to the point. You keep all important information with no bullshit at all. Great channel.
Absolutely, without any doubt, the best video on RoninSc settings. I have only had mine less than a week, and am struggling with The balancing, but I did not even know about the possibilities that you have demonstrated here. Thank you so much, you’ve become my Gimbal buddy, if one can say that in public.
ROFL not true I will talk to anyone... I do shoot in mostly manual modes but that's me and my work flow. Truthfully modern cameras auto modes are so good they do more than what most people need! Cheers
This is the video I wanted. After watching dozens of videos on this product, I didn't get all the information I was looking for in one video. Obviously, it will be subjective on what people are looking for in reviews, but this had everything I needed. Thanks.
Thank you for this video! I had just opened the box, balanced my camera and started shooting videos… they were terrible and shaky! After watching I made a few adjustments and now my videos look 10x better!!! Thanks!
Best straight forward setting clip so far. I had it in closet for few months during Bangkok Covid lockdown. Now semi unlocked, time to take it out. Thanks.
Thank you, I was wondering whether to scream, now I am calm. DJI should employ you to replace their horrendous in-ap vids. Next test is to see how this works in -30 degrees!
At 1:23 if you look at the cars on the road, there is a lot of micro jittering going on. Is there a way to fix it in the gimbal settings? I'm having the same issue with micro jitters on my SC even after I auto tune each time.
It’s difficult for sure but the best tip I have is get a great balance and if you can use a camera with IBIS. this was shot with out ibis and I found out later a lens with malfunctioning OIS
You put the Pro in my set up in this 10min video! Got one this week and was struggling . Did your setup and boom , I can keep up with my 3 year old on a 50mm, lol, thank you so much !
An excellent explanation of the settings to a newbie gimbal user. Looking forward to experimenting with the Ronin SC - it's all balanced and now it's time to experiment with using it.
New to the gimbal world and struggled to find any clear instructions on the ways to use it. I have never reviewed a youtube vid before, but felt compelled to, to say thank you !
What does the lock mode( holding the trigger) technically do? Locks all three axes? When I try holding the trigger button it still pans around a bit as I move, is that normal ?
It should make it stay pointed at the same spot once your push the lock button no matter how you move with the gimbal. If it doesn't then you may need to calibrate the gimbal
It keeps the camera locked in the same attitude - that is, level (roll), tilt and pan should all stay at the same angles with relation to the physical horizon. If you truck, dolly or change altitude, what is in your frame will change accordingly, but the camera should stay in the same attitude. Also, moving the joystick will still move the camera - so if it’s drifting, maybe your joystick isn’t calibrated. Also, make sure you always run the balance check and auto tune as part of your standard setup routine.
Thanks for the video. I think I saw your video before about the push to pan and tilt and I had to rewatch to remember how to do that. No one else has talked about that and this video was really helpful!
THANK YOU Jake - I've just purchased the DJI Ronin SC and had a bit of a nightmare getting my head around it, but this video has cleared a few things up. Thanks again :-)
Great video! I just got the Ronin SC for my Canon EOS R. Question? How do you set up your phone to use with the Ronin. I noticed you had airplane mode on. I just don’t want to get a phone call when using this gimble. Thank so much for all the great information.
Jake Sloan, my name is Gui Martins I am Brazilian I can not speak or write English but with the help of google translator I am sending you this message to say that your videos are very good and although I do not understand I know what you are doing with DJI Ronin SC and friend you are helping very much congratulations for the videos thank you for the willingness to teach all this you are the guy.
@@JakeSloan Thanks for letting me know. I have a Ronin SC sitting on my desk. Fly out to do a documentary in a week and was like, "Oh crap! Should have picked the the Ronin S."
@@JakeSloan Today they announced DJI R2 and RS2 which looks crazy! although I've got the SC now and going to stick to it for a while but would love to see your video on those new ones!
Because I’m not uncivilized....LOL. I appreciate how you’re a ‘real’ guy; not trying too hard to be a ‘UA-camr’...kinda like me. We’re in about the same demo...great video; looking forward to watching some more. I’m really liking the Ronin SC so far, aside from how long it takes to set up, from pulling it out of the case to hitting record. (I’m used to my GoPro H7 where I pick it up & hit record. Done.
Planning to buy a gimbal for my canon sl2 . Which one should I go for Ronin Sc or Crane 2 ?personally I am a bit scared to buy crane 2 as I’ve heard it has some “drifting” issues .
Before you buy one take a look at this video! ua-cam.com/video/nGgfvmUpxCg/v-deo.html after you watch that let me know if you have questions. Both of the gimbals in that video would be an excellent choice but they do offer different feature sets.
Thanks for replying so fast. Checked that video out. In your video I saw that the stabilization is way better in Dji ronin sc vs the weebil S. The video sample from the weebill S is very shaky in comparison to ronin sc as shown at 1:49 in that video. What would you say about that?
I would say that is true unless you have a camera with IBIS. You can see the RONIN SC video review I did the footage from the Ronin SC is very smooth as well. It always comes down to the camera lens and gimbal setup being correct. However the Weebill S has VERY good stabilization espies because of its stronger motors
I love how you casually talk to the camera. I'm still struggling with that aspect because I got used to using teleprompter. beginner here with ronin sc. i set mine to M1: Pan and Tilt Follow, M2: Sports (POV), and M2: Flashlight. This way, I won't get confused whenever I need to switch between the 3 modes.
Hello, very nice review but i own a new one i can't connect the cable to my canon D90, can you watch on your phone like a monitor and how do you do that, thank you for sharing
hey Jake, got a silly question: got the sony 6400 and the ronin SC and I am not sure which cable to plug in, the direct ones or the one with an adapter on it? I saw in an other video that each cable enables and disables some functions like the autofocus and so? In your video I also dont see which cable u plugged in. maybe u can help me in that one :) thx
I'll have to look for the name but I use the one that goes from USB C to mini USB with no adaptors. That is the cable that doesn't disable certain features on Sony cameras.
I use this thing here: geni.us/7eXZ and it's great. You can put the mic to the side on top or the side on the side like you see in this video. Cheers!!
Hi Jake, awesome vid. Just on the active track point...does it definitely need to be mounted on the camera? I used the mount on the side of the gimble and active track would lock on then go MENTAL!! Would that be why.?
that is exactly why it went crazy. The gimbal is using your phone camera, gyros and the phone processing power to control the gimbal so if the phone doesn't move with the gimbal then the gimbal will freak out. Cheers!
Hi Jake this video was so informative as a new Ronin SC owner very helpful. I notice you had the mic on the side. Is that a smallrig left cold shoe? Wondering if you can open the side latch for the mic jack. Thanks
Hi there. I don't know, but the street is shaking like crazy (for a gimbal) at 01:25. Same for the mountains in the background after you tilted at them. I did not noticed that on your other videos. Best regards
HAHAHAHAHAHA awesome and you're welcome! If you have a chance let me know what kind of filming you do and if there is anything specific you'd like me to cover in the future!
@@JakeSloan I make vids similar to yours, just not as good haha! Here's my Ronin sc review - you might like the middle bit where I make a short film using active track ua-cam.com/video/mszxBWw8ViU/v-deo.html
Thank you for your videos. It is going to take me some time to learn the SC. The first time I use it will be at Laguna Seca Raceway in April 2022. Taking stills and video of vintage race cars going down the "Cork Screw". I could wish that you sere there to help! I will let you know how I did. Any suggestions from anyone ?
The push mobile feature only works with IOS devices. Thanks for a very informative video. Great locations in all of them I have seen so far which is really cool. Great info, well presented. Thank you for doing them!
I have a question. In timelapse (point to point) Can the speed be different for each point ? Also can you set a different time for the stay time. Or is the time setting universal so that once you change it, that time setting applies to all the points ? And finally when it finishes the move does it stay at the last point or will it make an instant ugly jump back to start/home position ? Thanks
Unless they added it recently there is no way to change the speed between points. The whole time lapse is based on the total length you want the result to be and the interval you choose. That would be great to add that functionality though. When it finishes the time lapse it just stops at the end point. No resetting to the start/home point etc. you could do what you are trying to do with the motion tracking feature because you can program stay time and variable time between points. You’d have to film in video and slow the shutter speed down to get the desired motion blur effect and then in post you’d speed the video up to whatever you want the time lapse to be. If that makes sense.
@@JakeSloan > Thanks for replying. As per your last idea, what if im shooting untethered. That is using a G7 which has its own inbuilt timelapse feature. Then can i just have the cam on the gimbal and still do the motion control program while i independently set the inbuilt timelapse on the G7 off. In fact i actually wanted ot also know if motion control and motion timelapse functions would work even if the camera was not connected to the gimbal by cable.
That’s an excellent question and I don’t know as far as the time lapse and motion time lapse settings I’m not sure it would but I haven’t tried it. The motion tracking will work regardless of camera attached or not but then you’d have to keep your shutter speed fast enough to get rid of any motion blur from movement you didn’t want. When I get back to my office I’ll try the ronin out and see if it will work without the camera plugged in.
Great video for a new Ronin-SC owners like myself, thank you. You say and show that by pressing and holding the trigger that the gimbal is locked, however on mine it doesn't do that, it simply allows me to go into what I believe is flashlight mode - any ideas as to why mine isn't the same as yours?
I spent the last few days playing around with mine and I cannot get it to do that lol. You might need to reset everything to factory settings and see if that helps. Cheers
Hey man just a question trying to make short film and wondering if the canon 1300d would be best suitable with a ronin sc or s as I am not sure which one to buy ?????
Either one would work but the Ronin SC would be more manageable and certainly work for that camera. It also has more features the Ronin S does not. You might also want to look at the weebill S as an option. Cheers!
Hi Jake! First of all i love how you share tips and settings of Ronin-SC! Thank you so much for sharing! Now my question is i am using CANON M50 Mirrorless camera and wondering why when i push record button on the ronin-sc it doesnt record on my camera, i have to manually press it from the camera. Really appreciate your knowledge ;) and time. Cheers!
Interesting it probably has something to do with the USB settings in the camera, you also might want to check on DJI's site for any specifics for setting up the Canon m50 for use with the Ronin SC
GOing to order one, but I do long walks (2-3hrs at a time) and I record the whole walk, is there anyway to attach or strap the gimbal to yourself? 3hrs holding the gimbal, my arm will fall off.thanks
I hold it for long periods with a camera while walking talking climbing hiking etc and I don't find it too bad. There is no way to attach it currently but I bet you could rig something up. Would be interesting to try lol.
@@JakeSloan I have managed to rig something together. A Go-Pro chest harness attaches to the bottom of the Ronin and takes up the weight. The phone holder (which I don't use) I have managed to attach another camera shoulder harness to which stops the Ronin falling forward. You still have to hold it with one hand but it's actually pretty good!
A frame rate question - for you (if you have a minute!). Do you shoot in 24fps or is that just for the timelapse? I've found with the gimbal and drone shooting that I have to move very slowly if shooting in 24fps, or if I shoot in 60fps to slow it down a lot when editing in 24fps. Or am I thinking about it in the wrong way?
So I came here out of curiosity, because my gimbal has a wicked jitter to it and I figured maybe I just need to try other settings. Your gimbal does the exact same thing and I'm stunned that no one commented on this. Its visible in both the clip at 1:23 as well as 3:45. Watch the road/mountain side--its jittery as hell. Not what a gimbal is supposed to produce.
thanks you mentioned things no one else has... Pan-follow etc. With a video example of what they do. thanks. looking for more on that. I see a lot of people mounting the camera to the right of their grip for follow tracking? you say it must be on the camera? (why?)
It will work for both. I switch between video and photo regularly without taking my camera off the gimbal. click the trigger 3 times and it will spin around and face you
Just got my Robin SC yesterday and I already know a lot about it...thanks so much to ya for tips and tricks❤️🙏✌️ Just right to the point and easy to follow, what you showcase. Brilliant 👌😎🙂
Urgent help wanted from fellow users. Just bought a new RONIN SC. The main unit (not the battery grip) has a large silver lock lever, which is used to lock the battery grip onto the main unit, that lock when used as intended does not go and CLICK at the end or anything. It just only becomes slightly tighter, it does its job but there's no tactile click. Have i got a faulty lock or this is how it behaves normally ? I even tried operating the lock without the battery grip and observed the small silver locking mechanism can hardly be seen moving even when the lock lever is moved to lock and unlock positions. Can someone confirm ? Thanks.
I believe I answered this but the silver lever has no "lock" or tactile feedback because it just adds friction the tighter it gets. so once you have it tight then you are good to go but there is no click or lock that will be felt.
@@JakeSloan Thanks Jake, really helped me with the settings, ill be sure to give you a shout out in my next video from Norway next week and the end card as a thank you. Appreciate it, and you have defo earned my sub
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. I just have 1 question about the app. Do we have to download it and install it on our phones or camera? How does the app work anyway? Because I got a new one but the guidelines in the book provided don't have much details about the app...

I don’t have different cameras for it so I only went with what I had. The auto tune feature works really well to set the motor strength.
I dont have the motion control and motion lapse on my app.. what am i missing? Where can I find that feature?
Interesting it might be dependent on what phone you are using
From what I understood, my Canon T6i would not be able to connect to active tracking?
active track is based on the gimbal and your phone not the camera you use
Thank you for your videos. It is going to take me some time to learn the SC. The first time I use it will be at Laguna Seca Raceway in April 2022. Taking stills and video of vintage race cars going down the "Cork Screw". I could wish that you sere there to help! I will let you know how I did. Any suggestions from anyone ?
Glad to hear. Definitely take some time to work with it and you’ll have it down in no time!
The push mobile feature only works with IOS devices. Thanks for a very informative video. Great locations in all of them I have seen so far which is really cool. Great info, well presented. Thank you for doing them!
Interesting and thanks for sharing that info!! Cheers
Great video looking forward to getting mine in a few days , what camera do you have on this gimbal please ?
awesome
I have a question. In timelapse (point to point) Can the speed be different for each point ? Also can you set a different time for the stay time. Or is the time setting universal so that once you change it, that time setting applies to all the points ? And finally when it finishes the move does it stay at the last point or will it make an instant ugly jump back to start/home position ? Thanks
Unless they added it recently there is no way to change the speed between points. The whole time lapse is based on the total length you want the result to be and the interval you choose. That would be great to add that functionality though. When it finishes the time lapse it just stops at the end point. No resetting to the start/home point etc. you could do what you are trying to do with the motion tracking feature because you can program stay time and variable time between points. You’d have to film in video and slow the shutter speed down to get the desired motion blur effect and then in post you’d speed the video up to whatever you want the time lapse to be. If that makes sense.
@@JakeSloan > Thanks for replying. As per your last idea, what if im shooting untethered. That is using a G7 which has its own inbuilt timelapse feature. Then can i just have the cam on the gimbal and still do the motion control program while i independently set the inbuilt timelapse on the G7 off. In fact i actually wanted ot also know if motion control and motion timelapse functions would work even if the camera was not connected to the gimbal by cable.
That’s an excellent question and I don’t know as far as the time lapse and motion time lapse settings I’m not sure it would but I haven’t tried it. The motion tracking will work regardless of camera attached or not but then you’d have to keep your shutter speed fast enough to get rid of any motion blur from movement you didn’t want. When I get back to my office I’ll try the ronin out and see if it will work without the camera plugged in.
@@JakeSloan > Thanks. Will wait for your feedback.
Great explanation and presentation. It helps me a lot. Thank you!
So glad it helped! Cheers
Great video for a new Ronin-SC owners like myself, thank you. You say and show that by pressing and holding the trigger that the gimbal is locked, however on mine it doesn't do that, it simply allows me to go into what I believe is flashlight mode - any ideas as to why mine isn't the same as yours?
I spent the last few days playing around with mine and I cannot get it to do that lol. You might need to reset everything to factory settings and see if that helps. Cheers
Great video! I am going to put much of this to good use. Had mine for about 2 years.
Awesome!
Thank You Jake so much ,absolutely great tutorial . i did subscribed to your channel ! You are very informative, better than DJI video ! Cheers!!!
Thank you!
Hey man just a question trying to make short film and wondering if the canon 1300d would be best suitable with a ronin sc or s as I am not sure which one to buy ?????
Either one would work but the Ronin SC would be more manageable and certainly work for that camera. It also has more features the Ronin S does not. You might also want to look at the weebill S as an option. Cheers!
Jake Sloan cheers man robin sc it is
cool video. I just got the ronin sc for my channel and vlogs so useful seeing how others set theirs up.
Awesome have fun with it!!
And with the mic on the side do you recommend that for underslung mode
I do it makes it much easier
Hi Jake! First of all i love how you share tips and settings of Ronin-SC! Thank you so much for sharing! Now my question is i am using CANON M50 Mirrorless camera and wondering why when i push record button on the ronin-sc it doesnt record on my camera, i have to manually press it from the camera. Really appreciate your knowledge ;) and time. Cheers!
Interesting it probably has something to do with the USB settings in the camera, you also might want to check on DJI's site for any specifics for setting up the Canon m50 for use with the Ronin SC
GOing to order one, but I do long walks (2-3hrs at a time) and I record the whole walk, is there anyway to attach or strap the gimbal to yourself? 3hrs holding the gimbal, my arm will fall off.thanks
I hold it for long periods with a camera while walking talking climbing hiking etc and I don't find it too bad. There is no way to attach it currently but I bet you could rig something up. Would be interesting to try lol.
@@JakeSloan I have managed to rig something together. A Go-Pro chest harness attaches to the bottom of the Ronin and takes up the weight. The phone holder (which I don't use) I have managed to attach another camera shoulder harness to which stops the Ronin falling forward. You still have to hold it with one hand but it's actually pretty good!
Brilliant!
Thank you so much for all the info I needed it! I do highly recommend using the power zoom though! It can very useful and it's easy
Glad it was helpful!
A frame rate question - for you (if you have a minute!). Do you shoot in 24fps or is that just for the timelapse? I've found with the gimbal and drone shooting that I have to move very slowly if shooting in 24fps, or if I shoot in 60fps to slow it down a lot when editing in 24fps. Or am I thinking about it in the wrong way?
I always create my one Timelapse with individual photos and then conform it to whatever timeline I need at the moment
So I came here out of curiosity, because my gimbal has a wicked jitter to it and I figured maybe I just need to try other settings. Your gimbal does the exact same thing and I'm stunned that no one commented on this. Its visible in both the clip at 1:23 as well as 3:45. Watch the road/mountain side--its jittery as hell. Not what a gimbal is supposed to produce.
There is some
Hi, Jake. Very powerful and nice video You made. THanks !!!
Thanks
1:24 that jitter in the left corner, did you balance the gimbal?
I did that was my 16-55 kit lens. I found shortly after that my oss on that lens was failing and that’s what produced the jitter
@@JakeSloan interesting, thanks for the info!
How do you get the record button to work? I'm using a6400 sony, I got it to work once. It seems to be rocket science.
Make sure you turn the camera on after the gimbal is powered up or you may have to turn the camera off and back on again. Cheers!
thanks you mentioned things no one else has... Pan-follow etc. With a video example of what they do. thanks. looking for more on that. I see a lot of people mounting the camera to the right of their grip for follow tracking? you say it must be on the camera? (why?)
Thanks! it must be on the camera so as the gimbal moves and tracks the phone follows the movement
Can you take selfies or pictures with Ronin Sc?
Do you mean can you trigger them with the gimbal?
No I mean like so is the gimbal just for video purpose or for both photography and video
It will work for both. I switch between video and photo regularly without taking my camera off the gimbal. click the trigger 3 times and it will spin around and face you
Just got my Robin SC yesterday and I already know a lot about it...thanks so much to ya for tips and tricks❤️🙏✌️
Just right to the point and easy to follow, what you showcase. Brilliant 👌😎🙂
Awesome! Glad it helped
Do you think a canon 1300d would fit on it
It would but I think you would better off looking at something like the Weebill S for that camera
Thanks for all that information. Really helpful. - Quick question, does the gimbal make any noise that the mic can pick up?
Thank you for your time.
Nope none at all unless it’s poorly balanced.
@@JakeSloan Thank you very much, greetings from Costa Rica.
Urgent help wanted from fellow users. Just bought a new RONIN SC. The main unit (not the battery grip) has a large silver lock lever, which is used to lock the battery grip onto the main unit, that lock when used as intended does not go and CLICK at the end or anything. It just only becomes slightly tighter, it does its job but there's no tactile click. Have i got a faulty lock or this is how it behaves normally ? I even tried operating the lock without the battery grip and observed the small silver locking mechanism can hardly be seen moving even when the lock lever is moved to lock and unlock positions. Can someone confirm ? Thanks.
I believe I answered this but the silver lever has no "lock" or tactile feedback because it just adds friction the tighter it gets. so once you have it tight then you are good to go but there is no click or lock that will be felt.
Nice job, just picked one of these bad boys up
Excellent. Congrats!!
@@JakeSloan Thanks Jake, really helped me with the settings, ill be sure to give you a shout out in my next video from Norway next week and the end card as a thank you.
Appreciate it, and you have defo earned my sub
Thank you very much!!! I checked out your channel and you have some cool stuff!
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. I just have 1 question about the app. Do we have to download it and install it on our phones or camera? How does the app work anyway? Because I got a new one but the guidelines in the book provided don't have much details about the app...
you download the app to your phone
@@JakeSloan Ok. Thanks! 😁
Let me know, how long we use continuously with one full charge?
a few hours at least
