Nice review, I've watched a few different reviews but I feel yours was the clearest in what the new gimbal offers. I did actually purchase the Ronin SC earlier this year. It's a great gimbal but the one thing I was a little dissapointed in was the active track. Trying to balance the camera with the phone on is pretty tricky and if you want to use an on board mic then it's impossible. So having the raveneye seems like a great addition. Plus the quick release plate. I think these two additions are enough for me to update. Many thanks,
Not sure why you’ve been waiting. There isn’t anything seriously upgraded from this vs others. Plus the benefits from many electronic rigs are stellar in many ways. Get with the times dude!
@@ericjamesphotography watch the video on my channel of why I prefer a glidecam over an electronic gimbal. Not saying other gimbals aren’t great, just none of them have done it for me with my specific style of shooting and what I look for in a gimbal.
@@AeviumFilms I see where you coming from, but this gimbal is almost the same as the original ronin with a few improvements, which has been out for a while
@@Dragonphix a few? This thing is leaps and bounds better than the original ronin s... especially in the tracking and software improvements, etc. I guess if you dont fsre about that stuff then yeah,, not too much different.. but just the convience of all the features makes them actually useful.. The ronin s was good for its time but needed these upgrades.
Wow that is how a review should be done! Packed with information, delivered with precision, without wasting a second of my time - and held my attention every second. Thank you.
The better portability is certainly something I would want. You can just chalk it up to health investments. My back and shoulders will be thanking me as soon as I get the RS2.
the original Ronin s had a lot of problems that all bloggers say nothing about in their reviews, so I advise you not to rush to buy a new model from DJI, but wait for real customer reviews.
Thanks! After viewing like five reviews, I'm convinced. I'm a Ronin-S user, focusing mostly on travel, and it's always a pain to lug it around. Plus, it was always too time-consuming to take it off and rebalance it when I wanted to switch between pictures and videos. I was seriously considering switching to the Weebill S but DJI went all-out on this one!
2:46 This is also handy if you buy a second battery. Before if you had two batteries you had to stop shooting to charge the other one. Obviously it wasn't an issue because who could empty 2 batteries on one shoot but still nice that they can now charge on their own.
Honestly the weight difference already sells it for me. When you’re adding a dslr with a fat lens then you want a monitor on the side the weight adds up to a good 10 lbs. plus it probably helps you stay steady longer.
I have had the RSC2 for 2 years now and have loved it. I recently bought my first L Canon Lens and it made my setup too heavy for the RSC2. I used the website MPB and was able to swap and upgrade to the RS2. I got it last night and have loved it so far. Thanks for making this great video.
Let me give you guys a really cool pointer. LOOK at the RRS plate they made for this which allows you to use a normal Arcaswiss plate or their L Plates on this gimbal. Excellent $85 which really increases the usability.
So no link or info about the camwrap at the beginning? I googled and searched and can't find anything, I want a wrap now after seeing that. Do they actually exist?
I feel like my original Ronin-S is more than enough and the Ronin S2 is a little too much of an upgrade for me. The RSC2 might be the perfect balance but I would be concerned that down the line I'd need a bigger one.
its nice to see a NO B.S review that brings some information that can really translate to some useful tips. Do you think the C70 would be a good option with this gimbal?
The tip about the zoom balancing is wrong. That’s because it assumes the zoom moves in linear way. Meanwhile the elements often move back and forth (in example: short on the wide end, long mid focal length then again short on long end) so the mid range position does not mean mid balance. Not to mention that some elements move internally freely in relation to the housing.
Nice review.... Have a couple questions. First, is it possible to attach the briefcase handle on the left side of the gimbal instead of the right side as you demonstrated? Reason is I would want to be able to attach a follow focus wheel to the right side rsa connector and be able to use the briefcase handle with my left hand as I use the follow focus wheel with my right hand. Thanks!
I just got this gimbal and every single feature works with my Nikon Z6II. Not like Zhiyun claiming full compatibility when its not. I'll never buy a non DJI gimbal again and dji would have to come out with one that says good morning and cooks me breakfast for me to upgrade from this fantastic product
Great video! I shoot with a battery grip, so my camera is too tall for a lot of gimbals for certain angles. Glad this design allows for larger camera bodies!
Perfect Review and love the unbiased approach. I think the RS2 would be a great option to switch from Ronin S if you are a heavy gimbal user because the weight advantage could mean you can get more done and but it doesnt really have enough to convince the medium to light gimbal user. Great Product all the same!
Thank you for an other great review. I have a question about Super Smooth function, why is not activated permanently? what cons it has to be deactivated? Battery consumption? Motors over forced? Thank you again!
Can you use the RS2 with gloves or am I forced to use the touchscreen with bare hands? Or do I have to use the touchscreen at all, like are there buttons that I can use to avoid touching the screen? Filming outside in Winter with gloves, just asking...
How often does a new ronin gimbal come out ? Every year right ? So a ronin rs3 should be on the way soon if we go by history of the ronin one handed gimbals .
Welcome to the future. This tech is much greater that old-school, or even our-days cinematographers could even imagine could possibly exist. Just awesome. Thx for review Lan :D
Great video! My question is does the rsc2 have active track without your phone or not because of the lack of the color screen? I can't find this info anywhere!!!
Interesting review. I have a question. Will DJI RS2 suitable for Sony ZV1 ?. I do youtube videos, planning to buy one these gimbal. please tell me whether this RS2 will be ok or suggest if anything better suitable for sony ZV1. Thanks.
Thanks for the great review FF and Landon. Watching this video almost gave me the same experience as holding it in my hands. Saying that, I think my Ronin S will do for now. peace!
You think this would hold and be able to balance a 90D with a 150-600mm lens? With my battery grip it weighs 7lbs. which I could obviously remove so the weight should be fine I would think but that lens gets pretty long at 600mm....what are your thoughts? I want to use it for on the move wildlife as I hike.....
Gimbals are just such a great tool! We use gimbals in lots of our youtube-videos on the channel but also for clients etc. It just makes it way easier to have a steady shot (without dolly ;P)!
Just got a smartphone gimbal Zhiyun Smooth Q2 after watching Parker's V30 smartphone review when filming with this gimbal. Gonna do my own review soon 😀 Next level is camera gimbal 👊
I have the ronin s since end august So I’m definitely not upgrading, because I’ve had my ronin s for less than 3 months. I think even if I had it since the release I stil wouldn’t upgrade. The only thing I really care about is smooth as possible footage.
I'm in a similar boat in that I've has the SC for about 5 months. But I really like the active track and quick release as they are two areas that bugged me abotu the SC. I really liked the idea of the camera being able to track without me needing to pilot it but having to have your phone on top of the camera is way to time consuming and if you want to use a mic as well it becomes inpractical. But obvioulsy it's not cheap.
The ronin s is heavy to be honest, don’t get me wrong glidecam is even heavier, but boi the rs2 is made out of carbon fibre! Worth buying for the light weight setup
The reviews and all other videos are such a treat to eyes 🔥🔥🔥 even for shortest clip they are on point in terms of composition, angle, exposure etc! Amazing review as always
possible set up video for beginners who could benefit form an in-depth video of assembly, set up, calibration, and detailed raven eye walk through for Canon 5DM4 users, specifically cables and connection ?
What is the best gimbal for a Canon 1 DX Mark II? I have the Ronin but it's pushing the limits with a large lens. So, if price is not a concern, what's the best gimbal for this camera?

Who says 2020 is bad?
Sony a7siii paired with 12 to 24 and Ronin s2 ? What else do you want ??
Yes maybe those pm filters as well 😉
The mist ones of course 😉
I personally would go for the canon c70
People that have lost family members. That’s the people who say 2020 is bad.
i personally like the Sony a6400 the most
I personally prefer a point and shoot.
The ronin s is the Best gimbal ever, i have high expectations for the rs2!
Watch the official DJI video, I am upgrading. Some of the accessories are awesome.
@@FelixCervantes thanks ill make sure to check it out!
the vertical plate is the selling point for me for sure for real!

the focus wheel is what I was wondering about. The only video that explained it...this got you a like!
Best RS2 review. Very comprehensive. Damn DJI really nailed this.
I felt that your content is extremely premium and even your video production quality is next level.... immediately i subscribed you ❤️👍🔥
Just won this gimbal from a short film competition!! 😁😁Never been so excited in my life to test this bad boy!!! 😁😁😁
Killed this review! Love it 👌🏾
This is now very similar to the Zhiyun line of gimbals. Glad to see DJI catch up, I'm very interested.
What would you recommend for wedding videos? I was thinking about buying a Glidecam. Isn't it easier to switch focal length with a Glidecam?

Fantastic video. Extremely helpful. Can't wait to take my RS2 out and see what I can make with it.
Got the Ronin SC and works perfectly fine with my A7S3 and will stay with... but a new toy is a new toy🤔
That small quick release is arca swiss so you can mount to arca Swiss tripod, and the larger one is a manfrotto plate.
My biggest issue I have with it is the tiny mounting quick-release plate and a bad lens support. Otherwise, it's great.
That intro 👌
You just made me buy that DJI RS2...thank you!
Great and not biased review. Love all the details you guys are providing.
I always checking your channel over and over again, and this is it, a new video released. Super excited for a future valuable content
good video, I'll buy it very soon

I'll never buy a non DJI gimbal again and dji would have to come out with one that says good morning and cooks me breakfast for me to upgrade from this fantastic product
Was lens or in-camera stabilization used during the stabilization test at 9:00?

I just got it yesterday and it's blowing my mind. They would have to come out with one that says good morning and cooks me breakfast for me to upgrade
Why not put another Mount on top of the RS2 Mount in a 90 Degree Angle to get the Red balanced with sliding it left and right to fix the roll axis?
Now I wanna know if the BMPCC 6k will fit on the RS2
It does - shows on their compatibility chart.
Such a horrible form factor.. Z-Cam FTW.
@@wilcurran3377 Yes sir. ZCAM/Komodo form factor all day

I'm guessing I lose my HDMI connection to my Atomos Ninja V with the RavenEye, correct?
Wireless video transmission feature would probably be the only reason to upgrade from my SC
Buying the RSC2? or RS2?
