Product Information

Another feature that stands out is that the power grip containing the battery, can be removed and the gimbal can be connected by the RSA/NATO connectors. Another big change is the addition of professional RSA/NATO ports that enable the new RS 2 to be incorporated into larger, more complex rigs or control systems.

What makes this feature so incredible is that with ForceMobile, a feature of the Ronin App, you can control the gimbal by moving your mobile. However, while the design looks great, the friction caused by the carbon fibre when trying to adjust the balance just annoyed me, more so than just a niggle.Handheld gimbals revolutionized filmmaking. It made it possible for nearly any production to get smooth handheld footage. One of the top performers for the indie market is DJI with their wide-ranging series of gimbals. The Ronin was among the earliest stars, but the Ronin-S seriously changed things with its size and price. Now, we have the upgraded RS 2. For those of us not working on multi-million dollar productions, it’s good to see that there are still more common ports and connections including 1/4-inch mounting hold and cold shoe mount.

Retreat a distance from the DJI RS 2 with RavenEye, mount your camera phone on a tripod head with the Ronin App open and then as you pan, tilt and move the head with the camera phone. As you do the Ronin RS 2 copies the movement. There is a ton of good information here. One extra note is to disable selfie mode to prevent accidentally activating it if you accidentally tap the trigger one too many times. You’ll also want to enable silent mode to prevent any notification noises from being played—always a good call. To be honest, it’s probably best to just shut off all the modes you aren’t planning on using. DJI’s new RS 2 and RSC 2 are more than just a single-handed gimbal. Improving upon the previous generation on every level, DJI has made their new gimbals more lightweight, intelligent, and with more options. The collaboration between Tilta and DJI has brought RS 2 and RSC 2 to a whole new level. We have worked for months to develop a range of tools for filmmakers looking to get the most out of their gimbal. RavenEye is the stand out feature of the Combo kit that I tested, it’s truly amazing, and the signal is just about as robust as they come. You’ll want to make sure the balancing step occurs after all your accessories are added. Any time weight is added or removed it’ll effect the balance.

You can also set a cutom option and enable or disable different axes. 3D Roll 360 moves it into the “flashlight” position and you can spin around the roll axis to create the spinning effect. And last is Portrait, which also goes into flashlight mode but supports vertical shooting. Being able to set-up the DJI RS 2 and control it with such speed and accuracy from a distance is an incredible feature. Performance-wise the DJI RS 2 builds on the performance of the Ronin-S but doesn’t feel like a direct upgrade. The two feel very different in use, and for the work I do, I have to say I still prefer the size and usability of the Ronin-S over the RS 2.

Everything else in the system, having come from using the previous generations of DJI gimbals, was familiar, fast, and easy to use! It felt like slipping on a new pair of custom-fitted gloves. Improved LCD Screen After getting their hands on the RS 2, the first thing they noticed was its smaller size and weight, which made it much easier to keep the stamina up for longer shoots. The SLR team used this gimbal on several shoots that were 4-6 hours a pop, and the reduced weight made it noticeably easier to handle over the course of the day.Update the firmware for the DJI RavenEye Image Transmission System using the DJI Ronin app by connecting the RavenEye via Wi-Fi. Do not disconnect the DJI Ronin app and DJI RavenEye Image Transmission System during the update process. The main changes are that the motors are 20% more powerful and it cut overall weight by 25%. Both things make a dramatic difference in performance. One fan is filmmaker Keith Knittel who put together a great list of 10 tips and features that will help anyone get better shots with the RS 2. Through the test, I mainly used a Sony Alpha 7 MKIII and A7S MKII, and with both of these relatively lightweight bodies, the RS 2 supported the motion and movement without fault.
