DJI Ronin-S - Camera Stabilizer 3-Axis Gimbal Handheld for DSLR Mirrorless Cameras up to 8lbs / 3.6kg Payload for Sony Nikon Canon Panasonic Lumix, Black

This thing is awesome, we are using it for an old Nikon d5100. The only issue is with my camera itself. Utilizing an old camera as we do with this mount, we are unable to use some of the auto focus functions for the gimbal, not a fault of the equipment and we’ve seen work around bud we haven’t really worried about it to much. This things is also pretty heavy so if you are looking for an arm workout, you’ll get one.Super simple and easy to use, if you’re on the fence about getting it this is your confirmation that you should!

I am a wedding videographer and have been desperate to find a way to help create steady footage with more motion. I tried many different manual stabilizers ranging from $60 to $300 and didn't have luck with any of them. I spent hours trying to figure out how to balance them and even once I did, I still wasn't happy with the performance. But the Ronin S is a game changer! Here are a few things I love about it:-Easy to balance. I mostly switch back and forth between a 24mm and 50mm lens and it only takes about a minute to do so.-Helps create movement for a more cinematic video. I love being able to push-in on a wedding venue to add an almost drone-esque effect.-It really isn't that heavy. I am a young woman with almost no upper body strength and I'm able to use it for the majority of a 10-hour job without getting sore or tired. For reference I am using a Canon 90D with the 24mm or 50mm lens.If you're looking for a way to bring your footage to the next level, this may be it!!

As an amateur videographer, I have no idea what half of these reviewers are talking about when it comes to this device. To me, it works flawlessly. It was pretty easy for me to set up. I just followed the directions in the booklet that comes with it, I didn't even have to watch a video. You set up each axis (after you attach your camera) and away it goes. You don't technically have to install the software to use this, but I'd go ahead and recommend it. It made things a lot easier to calibrate.I put a Canon 5d Mark IV on mine but I don't see why you couldn't install any DSLR on it. You are going to be limited to what kind of lens you can put with your camera. You can't go TOO large on it as it will just out weight the motors. But it seems to be handling what I have with ease.As far as walking around with it I haven't had any issues. I think its funny watching some of the professional reviewers on here fighting with this device as I'm a complete noob and figured it out. Not trying to toot my horn or anything, just seems funny to me. Anyway, I think you will like it. I sucked at using a glidecam and could never quite get smooth footage with it. With this gimbal I got nice footage day 1. Have fun!

Where do I even begin? I bought a Glidecam knockoff when I started video because everyone said that steadycams were better than gimbals because they are more reliable. I also bought it since it was only like $150. Weeeeeellllll after spending countless hours with the thing, I was still never able to get smooth shots with it.Fast forward to me actually making a career out of video and being in scenarios where I NEED smooth shots. I did an incredible amount of research and decided on the Ronin S.It took a very small amount of time to learn how to use it well. There are countless videos describing settings and different shots you can get with it.The Ronin S is quick to balance, easy to use, has a very long battery life, and has a very solid quality build.This purchase has improved my videos drastically and is well worth the money if you use it to make money.

i have been using it for 2 months now with a lumix G9, works great but i have some cons:- To charge the gimbal battery you need to assemble it, after a long day of shooting you get home and you have to assemble it charge the battery and then disassembly again for storage ( i like the fact that charges with USB type C really fast charge)- The case that comes with the gimbal is really low quality it seems that the joint will break after opening the case 100 times- Finally i now this is the SC version is supposed to be designed for mirrorless small cameras if you have a long lens you wont be able to calibrate the gimbal, for example i cannot use the Lumix G9 with a rokinon 35mm 1.4 plus a F to M4/3 adapter because you cant move the camera backwards enough to compensate the front weight from the long lens.If you have small lenses and a small and light camera this is a good choice, but if you use big lenses or you use adapters or a speed booster go for the Ronin S

I could always just be ignorant, but I had the previous version and this one does not stabilizer nearly as well. Half of my footage looks shaky. I ended up using IBIS in my camera and taking it off the stabilizer.

I've used the Ronin M, Pilotfly H2, Crane, etc and this is the best one I have used. The setup was simple. The app is easy to use. The battery lasts all day. The Pilotfly had a terrible app and the user interface was so difficult. The DJI app is simple and lets you do exactly what you need to do. The battery doesn't last as long as the Crane or Pilotfly but it gives you a percentage so at least you know when you need to charge. Balancing took me less than five minutes and I was using it less than 20 minutes out of the box.I haven't used it much but from what I see it's the most user friendly gimbal there is.

I researched gimbals a year ago, and this looked like a really good one, so I bought it. Description said it worked on Android, and still does. Sadly I was not able to set it up until today. I followed a YouTube video, and balancing was easy. When I got to the Ronin Assistant app to fine tune it, the app could not connect to the gimbal. I read the reviews on the app, and people had been having the same problem for at least 2 years. The gimbal is completely unusable. DJI is no help. I would love to have my money back so I can buy a gimbal from another source. FYI - I use Bluetooth 6 on Android 12. MY Bluetooth sees RONIN_SC-0SC566 on its list of connections.

Gimbal espetacular para câmeras pequenas, com diversas funções muito úteis na hora de gravar. Produto chegou antes do previsto, bem embalado, em perfeitas condições. Tive o azar de ser taxado pela receita federal, mas o vendedor me reembolsou assim que entrei em contato.

Llevo ya unos meses con este estabilizador, y forma parte de las mejores inversiones que he hecho. Es una garantía comprarlo, solamente fíjense cuánto pesan sus cámaras y accesorios, porque de hecho es la única limitante que le veo comparado al Ronin-M. Pero este Ronin-S es una excelente opción. :)

El producto llegó bien, sin ningúna falla, todo en orden, me llegó el día que me dijeron, sin retraso, es un poco complejo de usar, les recomiendo buscar tutotiales oficiales de DJI para guiarse, el precio excelente lo agarre en oferta, funciona correctamente

Ya llevo más de un año con el DJI RS1 y sigo utilizándolo como si estuviera nuevo. Una vez pasada la curva de aprendizaje, este estabilizador se ha vuelto parte esencial de mi kit de trabajo. No importa si solo voy a hacer algo en cámara fija, porque en realidad ocupa muy poco espacio es la camioneta. El precio es elevado, pero de verdad que se paga solo.

Klappt super und liefert ein sehr schön stabilisiertes Bild mit der Lumix G9 und auch Lumig GH4. Leider gibt es mehrere objektive mit denen das stabilisieren nicht oder nur mäßig klappt, weil dann die Augenmuschel von Sucher zu weit nach hinten steht. Damit wird der Bewegungsumfang einschränkt. Ansonsten wenn das Objektiv zu 'frontheavy' ist, wie z.b. das Olympus 7-14mm f2.8 ist es sehr schwierig die Kamera ordentlich zu stabilisieren. Aber wenn man ein leichteres Objektiv verwendet dann klappt alles wie beschrieben. Würde mit das Gimbal jederzeit wieder kaufen. Ich habe die Ronin-sc in der Pro-combo Variante. Der Fokusmotor ist und das focus-pulling-wheel sind definitiv den Aufpreis wert. Bei der Lumix G9 und einem Objektiv mit Autofokusfunktion kann einfach die Kamera und das Gimbal mit einem Kabel verbunden werden und somit der Fokus über das focuswheel eingestellt werden, ohne den Fokusmotor am Objektiv anzubringen.
