Thank you for sharing this! Can you please do a in-depth tutorial on how to setup the zoom for the lens. You’re the only one that’s found a solution. I would really appreciate this much.🙏 thank you.
For everyone running into issues, maybe this helps: I bought the sigma 28-70, for Sony E. I had trouble using the focus motor as zoom motor. However, after updating the E-mount to the latest firmware - it now works after initializing the focus motor and selecting the focal length in the main menu. So: -Update the Ronin 4D -Update the E-mount -Initialize the focus motor and select the focal length in the menu This worked for me!
So if you are using the focus motor for the zoom, how are you focusing? Just using autofocus or is there a way to focus without using the focus motor? Thanks!
Keep up the good work man love the videos! Are you able to pull focus manually via the native L mount? Is that how you are getting around using the motor for zoom?
I have the same lens and I’m trying to mount it on my Ronan 4D as well. My question to you if you don’t mind is what focus mode did you use for the zoom. I have a DJI focus motor trying to zoom but I have a blinking red light on the Zoom motor. It calibrates and it moves back-and-forth from the wide end to the short end, but I can’t control the zoom any longer.
Good day, when it comes to the auto-focus, is it plug & play like the DL lenses? No need to calibrate and will work at any zoom level (which is an issue with most Sony zooms for the Ronin 4d)?
What is the size of the Tilta Focus Gear Ring? I'm having trouble finding the measurements? I don't have this lens to measure it, but want to buy it for this setup.
I find that my zoom lens does not work with the focus motor anymore due to it recognizing that it’s an autofocus lens. Did you have issues with this? I was using tamron 28-75
@@FilipeAbreuFilmmaker Thank you so much! Keep going! I know the hard struggle of building a UA-cam-channel from the scratch, done it multiple times, but when you get the flow it's so much more motivating! And your content is already way better than most, so I believe in you!
I found this so helpful! I’m using the 17 - 28 DJI - I find it’s really noisy and it’s just to wide! I’m having to shoot in super 35 just to get that extra reach. Your review has made it clear this will be super helpful! Did you find the focus works ok? My experience with the E mount for DJI was horrendous but I really want to be able to work with something like this. ❤
Can you please upload a video of how you set up the focus wheel to zoom instead of focus. Having a lot of trouble with that

hank you for that 3:18 screen recording! It looks like it's perfect lens for the job.

how do i update the e mount?
It's a zoom , what focal length are you setting ?
Hello Filipe, tank you for the video! Can you do a video on color grading? Thanks and keep up the great work.
That's a cool shock absorption solution for the hydra arm with the red and gray thingys at 2:36. Is it off the shelf or diy?
Exact information I needed, thanks!
🙌
So if you are using the focus motor for the zoom, how are you focusing? Just using autofocus or is there a way to focus without using the focus motor? Thanks!
Electronical manual focus is possible
Amazing shots brother....
Thanks 🙏
I am also unable to use the focus motor as a zoom motor - any chance you could explain how you do it?

Great video
everytime you change focal with zoom, you need to re-calibrate focus?
Hi, no there’s no need to recalibrate anything is just plug and play.
Can you tell me which size I have to order for the tilta gear?
I ordered the full pack from Amazon. I can’t remember the exact size :/
69mm-71mm tilta ring should do it.

Yes, plug and play no need to calibrate the lens. 👌

Hi, i don’t know the exact one, i bought a pack from tilta and one of them fit. I think i have all my zoom lenses with gears now.
69mm-71mm tilta ring should do it.

You have to assign the focus motor to work as a zoom motor. Mine works great
Nice video, can i find the footage of the amg? I like the look, but from the 2 shots you put here i cant really feel the vibe :D
It’s not out yet. Later this month 🙌 I will post the link here or you can follow my instagram account. I post frequently 👌
Great 🎉
Thanks 🙏

@@FilipeAbreuFilmmaker BTW, have you testet the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary? It might be a good option to have too, for wides.
Not yet. But I am definitely interested 👌
@@FilipeAbreuFilmmaker I might buy one and test it out.
Have you / can you see if this lens works?
Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S
I don’t have it to test it but it might be too front heavy.
What kind of Easyrig/Readyrig are you using in the BTS?
Hi, it’s the Easyrig minimax 👌

Thanks, it works really well I will post the final video of the client soon. It’s been a great combo so far 👌
