Excellent info. Thank you!
Cool, hope it was useful. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Beautifully explained 🎬 🎥
Much appreciated!
VERY EDUCATED YOUR VIDEOS !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
Thank you! Thanks for your support.
The best lesson i have found on the net, thank you, very good........
Whoa. So I’m a good teacher or you’re a lazy searcher. Haha. In all seriousness, thanks so much for your kind words.
Thank you so much. So beautiful explained. Was struggling with my gimbal as I have just started with my first ever gimbal. ❤
So glad it helped! I still remember how confusing my first gimbal was. You chose a good model. Do you shoot narrative film?
A very helpful tutorial, especially going through the different modes . Really enjoy your teaching style too.
Thanks Andy! Happy it helped.
Such an elaborative and simple way to go through all the menu options. I didn't know any till now but now I know something for sure. I will check my gimbal and will go through each & every option. I am gonna surprise my teammate for sure 😅
Thank you for such an informative video. ❤
So glad it was useful! And I hope your teammate is shocked. Just act like it's old news. Hahaha. Shooting films or commercial work?
Respectfully. Very clearly explained. Thank you for enlightening me! I'm actually considering buying myself a gimbal.
Thank you. You will love the gimbal. I think they announce a new one every couple years. So take that into account before purchase.
Excellent instruction! You're a great teacher for this technology. The best!
Very kind. Thanks for the feedback and for watching! Are you a narrative filmmaker?
I spent much of my career doing industrials. I've now left that, have set up my own studio and am creating independent projects. My last was an award winning animation. Much more fun than the industrials. Your videos are the best I've found yet to help get up to speed with cinema cameras and gimbals. Great work!@@writedirect
Awesome video. Thank you!
Hope it helped! Thanks for watching.
Awesome breakdown
Much appreciated!
Very Helpful THANKS.
Thanks for watching! Happy this was helpful.
Best explanation I have seen! 😊
Hey, thank you! The gimbal is not that complicated once you understand it. But at first, it’s kind of confusing.
Amazing thank you for the lesson
Appreciate that. Thanks for watching! I would’ve loved such a video when first using Ronin! Haha.
@@writedirect just got mine a few days ago and this was perfect
Awesome Lesson
Thank you! Hope it helps.
Wow. Finally a great video fhat explains the gimbal. Thank you so much. Someone needs to tell DJI this is how you make an instructional video
Much appreciated! The gimbal is daunting at first. But when you wrap your head around how it’s designed, it’s a beautiful tool.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks so much.
Thanks!!! It’s an incredible gimbal. Hope this has helped.
This is a lifesaver! Thank You
Cool man! Glad it helped. Do you shoot narrative film?
The video we needed!!!!!!
Nice! Glad it helped.
I am the Managing director of the top training center in the MEA. It is hard to earn my admiration. I admire you.
Whoa. What do you say to that? Thank you so much!!! Means a lot.
thank you man 🔥
You bet. Thanks for watching!
you my dude are a great teacher
Wow, incredibly nice of you. Hope I help your filmmaking in some small way!
another great one
Thanks man!
helpfull,on point,informative
Right on. Much appreciated!
Very nicely explained. Just got the DJI Ronin RS3 Pro to use when shooting intros to my videos and in hotel reviews to add stability to the shots. Is a handful at the beginning. Best of luck with the channel.
Thanks man! Once it becomes second nature it’s such an asset.
@@writedirect Thanks man , i will begin editing the hotel material this weekend , i was impressed as how some of the shots came out. But the DJI Ronin Rs3 Pro is heavy , meaning less clothes to take in my travels due to it's weight and the battery due to regulations i have to carry in my hand luggage.Well that is the price to pay for having a travel channel. Saludos, Emmanuel.
this video is perfect
Sweet man! Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Hope it’s helpful.
Thanks for explaining the trigger. No other video covered it. I thought my trigger was broken but it appears I was using it wrong 😊
Awesome. I know what you mean. Finding info on this stuff can be confusing. It’s an incredible gimbal once you’re familiar with the details.
I tried watching two other videos before this. Didn't finish either one. This was the one I finished till the end. Thank you!
Right on man! Hope it’s helpful. Thank you!
You got a subscriber Sir..
Thank you for your efforts
Thank you!!!
@@writedirect Sir, Thank you to you. May God, bless you. Aameen
Just want to say thank you so very much for
Right on man. Hopefully it was helpful!
Brilliant
Much appreciated! Do you shoot narrative film?
@@writedirect No, but I appreciate the craft. I ama commercial product photographer. I do shoot corporate videos, interviews, industrial factory tours, interior stuff. I have the RS3 pro and your video has greatly increased my understanding and creative use of it.
@@VladimirLadev cool man. Happy it helped. Sometime you should go work on a short film. You might dons it irresistible! Haha.
I use my Ronin S 3 a lot now in my shoots and it’s been pretty helpful . All you got to do is go out there , find a subject and shoot by practicing. Even if it’s a tree . Make something out from the shoot .
Very true. Using it is literally the best way to make it useful. What type of shoots do you do?
@@writedirect Cars and motorcycles , general reviews and walk around shots with detailed looks . Nothing pretty fancy like Instagram reels . 😇
Thank you Thank you Thank you 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
You're welcome! I know how confusing it was for me starting out.
Super Bro
Thanks man!
This is very helpful, thank you so much ! Love your teaching style, explaining things simply and logically. As with someone else who commented, I too have am having probs with the dial set to change my aperture but it doesn't work, I feel it's something to do with the camera ( EOS R) not allowing the gimbal to change these settings ??? Also, if I hold the trigger down, it doesn't go into lock mode at all...Any suggestions ?
I have read DJI's manual, watched their videos and I find the lack of explanation/detail in all of their official material extremely frustrating.
Thanks for the kind words! Really means a lot. So regarding the camera control, do you have the gimbal connected to your camera via usb-c? Also on holding the trigger, what mode are you in when you're trying that?
wow thanks teach
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
Absolutely love the explanation of the gamble functions!! Appreciate you sir as I am new to this world. I have a (probably dumb) question. When I am using the gimble my camera keeps cutting off and going into rest mode. How do I fix this problem. My camera is a Sony Alpha 7RIII...please help. Thanks in advance.
Thanks man! No question is a dumb question. I haven’t used that specific camera so I can’t really tell you what’s going on. I’ve never had any of my cameras go to sleep on the gimbal. Weird. So the camera doesn’t do that when it’s not on the gimbal?
great
Thank you! Hope it’s helpful.
Hello friend, I had it working on my ronin when I first hooked everything together, but I don’t remember what I did! Hopefully I can get it back working and I’ll reach back out to you thanks again!
Oh really? Well yeah, I’d love to know the details on that. Thank you!
cool! where to get the lens sleeve that serves to focus/zoom?
followfocusgears.com/
Hi, from where did you buy the focus and zoom strips you have in your lens? Thanks
Here's the place I used: followfocusgears.com/
Thanks for the great video! Quick question. I've assigned the M button to C1/Fn Button Mapping, which is great so get control of my AF/MF toggle. Only now Sports mode does not work anymore. This seems like bad design. Am I missing something?
Hey! I apologize, but can't answer that at the moment because I sold the RS3 Pro and waiting on the RS4 Pro to show up. If it seems like a bug, get on the latest firmware. Otherwise it could be bad design.
@@writedirect Thanks for your reply! I am on the newest firmware...I think it's bad design. I'll write to DJI. Have a good one!
@@sommerproductions_ch would love to hear what you find out! And if you remind me, when the RS4 arrives I can compare to see if they've changed it.
Thank you so much! I have a Question: i use the dial function for pan. When I turn the wheel I notice the gimbal twitching or jerking in some positions. It's not the engines. It probably comes from the wheel, as it occurs both when panning, rolling and tilting. Have you ever noticed that when you turn the wheel slightly?
Interesting. I haven’t noticed that so can’t speak to it. Maybe update gimbal firmware?
@@writedirect After the firmware update it is unchanged. I thought it was only when operating with the wheel, but it is also when operating with the joystick. The whole gimbal jerks. When the axis is rotated through 360 degrees, there are 8 points at which the gimbal twitches, which can of course also be seen in the recording. I'm sending it back and hoping the next person doesn't have the problem.
can't seem to use the bluetooth function to control the iso, aperture or shutter via the dial... only possible with the cable provided. any solution?
Hey, I’m out of the country and can’t test this for you right now. But will check that out with my gimbal when I get back!
Hi, looks like you're going 12V-out on the battery to the 12V-in on the camera. I was thinking of powering a BMCC6k the same way. What cord do you have? I can't find one. Thanks!!

Thanks so much! Loving your videos@@writedirect
Does anyone know how to switch between the focus/zoom function for the front dial? ive connected my sony via the cable and it only pulls focus but i have no idea how to change it to the zoom function?
Hey man, have you tried connecting the camera to the ronin via Bluetooth? I don’t have that camera and all my lenses are manual zoom, so can’t test this.
Possibly a dumb question, but how are you powering the blackmagic pocket? I feel like real world use the LP batteries only last 15-30minutes.
Not a dumb question. I’m using NP-F batteries. They’ve been perfect. I get Watson batteries, and chargers. And just bring around seven to set. My field recorder uses the same batteries, as does my external monitor. So it’s simple.
How do i use the screen on the gimbel to see whats on camera?
Thanks!
Hey! I don't know if you can actually see it on the LCD of the gimbal itself. I know you can see it on a phone with the Ronin app. You have to use the Raven Eye image transmitter that comes with the RS3 Pro. You hook that to the HDMI out on your camera. Hook the camera to the gimbal and the image transmitter to the gimbal. I should probably do a class on this too.
Hello, I have a question: is it normal that the two upper arms can not be moved completely through and block at certain point (with the motors off of course)? During the self-test in the menu, the RS3 Pro keeps producing loud thumps and shows error 1005 at the end. Do you have any idea what the reason is? Thank you and greetings from Germany.
Greetings from the US! At first unpacking, the arm will be in a place that it does that. If you add your camera and balance it shouldn’t be in a place that it’s blocking.
@@writedirect I made the self-test with the camera added.
@@uecker66 are the arms blocking it or your rig? I run into certain rigs that will hinder the gimbal, so I have to reconfigure to keep everything clear. If you check my other video about how to balance a Pocket rig on the Ronin, that might help. If the cam isn't blocking and the gimbal is just locking internally I'd reach out to DJI.
Can you zoom your camera lens while using a gimbal?
If you zoom the lens, it throws the balance off. That’s the challenge.
🔝🔝💖💖
Hope this helped! It’s an incredible gimbal.
Respect from Romania
I just got this thing and set it up on a rig for shooting car to car. I'm having a major issue, though; the connection between the gimbal and my phone keeps disconnecting (I use the DJI Ronin app to connect a Playstation controller for controlling the gimbal's movement). Anyone know of a way to get a solid connection? Would a Raveneye help? Can I somehow wire it? Thanks in advance!
Raveneye might help...it's supposed to have a 200m unobstructed distance. I'd need to test that for sure. Bluetooth distance is way less than that. If I have time to rig up and test I'll get back to you on that.
@@writedirectthat would be awesome, thanks man! 🙏
The status icon for me stays on a moon icon. Not sure how to fix it. I tried turning it off, turning it back on (sound no longer beeps as normal). When I hit calibrate, it shows unable to. I asked DJI and they said that because the camera isn’t connected to the gimbal…it automatically goes into sleep mode. Any idea?
Hey! I'm out of the country right now, but can look into this with my gimbal when we're back. Or if you sort it out before then, would love to know!
@@writedirect ended up returning it as it’s a defective unit. I think the error code was 1014?
Hey
Is dji RONIN RS3 ca carrying z cam e2 m4??
The RS3 Pro has a 10 pound payload.
How to reset all setting thx
On the gimbal menu try SETTINGS > RESTORE PARAMETERS. You might be able to do it from the mobile app as well.
Can someone explain why my rs3 on fpv mode, the camera point down / drop a little bit than the other mode?
That's interesting...haven't run into that or noticed it at least. If you do a gimbal auto check does everything check out okay? Not calibration, but the auto check in the system settings.
@@writedirect i've done the calibration, auto check all of it, but everything's good, then i did the restore all the setting, but same result.
i got this "issue" right after updating the firmware, couple months ago..
do you have the same situation?
@@wiezxxy no I don't. But I'm also on the RS4 now. I would contact DJI from their site. They are very fast in responding to stuff. I've had to have something fixed before.
bleah bleah bleah😂
You know, as much as I try, I just can’t make a video that everyone likes. I’m sorry you’re in that negative experience percentage.
Hello. My RS3 Pro does not fold until the end when I try it to do it. Gets stocked before finishing the movement and has a little angle before the las position of folding. Have this happened to you? Thank you in advance,
The only time I’ve had any restriction of movement is if I had gear positioned in a way that blocked it. If your camera is completely off, does it fall out correctly? Is there something stopping it?
@@writedirect I thought the same and no. I had a 105 lens that did after I wrote you asking for help and it did but the lens I had on the gimbal was a laowa 12 mm, not heavy and later a nikon 24-70. It never comes to align. Stops about 20-25 degrees before landing in 0. Never makes it. Not a deal breaker but not happy. Thank you for your answer!
@@intillanes It should work even with a heavy lens. I'd update the firmware and then if the problem persists open up a case with DJI. I actually had to send my RS3 Pro in for an issue after purchase. They responded quickly and got it fixed.
@@writedirect Thank you very much for your answer. What a great job you do on your videos!
@@intillanes thanks for watching them! Hope you get it working. Let me know what you find out.
