RavenEye, this is DJI’s new wireless image transmission system. In this video I go through the set up process to work with the DJI Ronin RSC 2 and a Sony a6600 camera.
The point of it is to work with their new RS 2 and RSC 2 gimbals to send the picture directly from your cameras sensor to your phone, where you can control the gimbal in a variety of ways as well as set up active tracking, look at the zebras, focus peaking and control a bunch of camera settings. In this video - Im going to go over the setup process of RavenEye to work with or without your gimbal.
The RavenEyeImage Transmission System comes with a lot of cables and while the instruction manual isn’t impossible to understand, its not exactly perfectly clear either.
Here’s how to set it up with a Sony Camera. And this will be mostly the same with most cameras, its just that there are a handful of different ports, hence all the cords you get in the box - Micro-HDMI, Mini HDMI, HDMI, microUSB, miniUSB, USB type C, and the Sony Multi-cable.
First step - slide the RavenEye itself onto your gimbal on the same arm but under where your camera attaches. Theres nothing to tighten, it will just slide and click into place.
next, DJI suggests that you should point the antennas away from the gimbal motors.
For the cables, and this was the part that tripped me up because it is not clearly explained, if you have a Sony a6600 (Ive read that at this time of filming, this is the case for other sony cameras as well but who knows what a firmware update could bring in the future) - there are two camera data cables in the box that will both plug into your cameras USB-Micro port - the USBmicro AND the Sony Multi-cable. In the case of the Sony a6600, youre going to want to use the Sony Multi Cable (when using USB micro, youre allowed to access camera settings, but you cant see a picture or take control of the gimbal. That cable goes from the RSS / little camera icon on the gimbal arm itself over to your cameras data port.
Next, figure out which version of HDMI port your camera has, the a6600 is a micro HDMI port, so that goes from the HDMI on the RavenEye to the Micro HDMI on my camera.
And finally, from the USB type C slot with a roman numeral I and this little icon here, to the opposite side of the RavenEye from the HDMI. You’ll see that has that same icon, plus a thunderbolt 3 icon - this is also the port you charge it from. The RavenEye has its own battery that gets charge from the gimbal, or you can charge it independently if youre using it just with your camera.
Now this thing is mounted, and all the cables are in the right place. You have to go over to the Ronin App to get it set up.
But First, go into the settings of your camera, and again this is in the case of Sony Cameras - in the yellow briefcase menu - USB PC Remote has to be selected - then head on over to the green globe thing and make sure control w/ smartphone is off.
With your gimbal and camera powered on - press and hold the power button on the back of the raveneye until three white lights make their way to the left and a red light comes on. Once that red light turns blue, it means wifi should be on. Open the Ronin App and at the bottom, select ‘connect to raveneye.’ That will take you to the raveneye settings menu in your phone and what it wants you to do, with basically no direction, is to turn off bluetooth while youre using it. Then back out into your settings, go to your wifi, and thats where you’ll see the raveneye network..
The raveneye network name and password is printed really tiny on a sticker right on the back of the thing. So write that password down ahead of time. Enter the password in and connect to raveneye’s wifi..
When you go back to the Ronin App, it might take a second, but BAM - now you see what your camera sees and can take control of the gimbal.
This is super handy just for framing so you dont have to get up and walk over to your camera.. And there are a number of little helpful displays - you’ve got your zebras for exposure, false color for showing highlights and shadows, focus peaking - you can add a LUT in real time, and maybe someone can tell me what this is for, but you can see everything in RG or B or BW..
In addition, with your phone, now you just touch and drag a box around something or someone to start an active track and your camera will follow the thing or person.. Or if you want to use a joystick which can be very helpful for reframing your shot..

Dude you saved my arse... 😂 AT 1:33 Didn't realize I was NOT using the Sony Multi Cable. So great job pointing that out! iPhone Screen was blank added the USB C to Sony Multi and problem solved!
Isn't it nuts that because of a cable they cant make it so you can both control the camera settings, and see the screen??? Im so glad to have helped!
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE So annoying... I didn't even check that yet as I had to jump on a call shortly after I got it to work wtf! It was working with the non multi cable. It's 2021 that should not be an issue. Thanks for the headsup and for sharing brother! Stay safe!
Absolutely the best video on this system ever. No fluff, just concise info with great images to support the point. Thank you! I was stumped.
THANK YOU! I was about to let my gimbal fly with zero luck getting the wires connected, this video is the best out there. Never would have known about the in camera settings.
This is the best explainer I have seen on the raveneye. Instant Sub. Thanks so much!
Hey Nicholas! To be totally honest, your video was extremely helpful. I actually ordered DJI RSC2 Pro Combo!
SO helpful, thank you!
You sir, are a LIFESAVER. Thank you for this video i was stumped on how to hook it up.
Thank you so much for this helpful video.
You sir just got a subscription! These settings are all RIGHT if you have any problems restart your phone!!!
Thank you for explaining it beyond clear.
❤❤
Thank you so much, so helpful👌🏼♥️
Thank you so much.. I have sony a6600 and your videos helped me to know which gimbal to choose 🌿
Dude. Thanks for this. I just got the combo. This is really helpful and to the point. By the way you ended the video just fine. 🤪
thanks for making this video this is really helpful for setting my sony A7C and raveneye
*I am so glad!*
Just got my RSC2 pro combo and this was so helpful. The instructions are useless that came with it. Now I have a ronin S and RSC2…… thinking my S will gather dust right now as this gimbal is so good!
Thanks mate, was totally frustrated with the RavenEye, but got it working after your video...(bloody Multi cable)!!!
That’s great news!! And right?!?!
You have saved me from the black screen on my camera! Thank you
Awesome! Thats exactly what I want to hear from this!
Any way to use on the a6400 my screen goes blank when I hit record
thank you!
Thank you! 🙌🏻
@4:30 -- "...and, might take a couple of seconds, but "Blamo!" - best line
Hi Nicholas, nice video. I've been trying to find out if there is a correct power sequence for DJI RS3 Pro + Raveneye + Sony A7RV? I can get my setup working, but sometimes the RavenEye just stays with red light when I power it on, never goes to blue. After some fiddling with power on/off from each and then open the DJI app it eventually all works correctly. I'm sure it must be some type of "sequence" to power on that I might be missing?
sir my rji ronin rs2 gimbal zoom motor not function
calibration is fail
how to rectify
Will it work with Sony ZV E 10??
I plan on getting one I just got the rsc2 and I have a a6300 do you think the settings you spoke of applies to the 6300 or only your model
Yep, the settings will be the same.
Where would I get the Sony Multi cable? Would it have come with my Sony A7C?
The multi cable comes with the DJI/Raveneye combo
So I have the a7siii and the camera display turns off. Is that normal? I been trying to figure out how to keep it on. I can see the image on my phone but not my camera itself
If you turn off ‘display info’ wherever that is on the settings, I believe it will show a picture in both screens. But then you only get the picture feed through your phone, without all the settings data. I wish they would let you have all data on both.
Cheers dude I had my ravin eye plugged into the wrong port...
I followed the steps on my a7iii and it shows on my phone but imkeep getting message saying “dji ronin connected with raveneye. Connect your gimbal to reveneye to control it using dji ronin”. Im used sony multiport
That means that the usbc cable that goes from Raveneye to the gimbal is in the wrong spot somehow. Make sure the symbols match, you have two choices on each
Hi Nicholas hey the camara monitor needs to be off for active track?
Not on the a6600. On my a7Siii it turns the monitor off - but I think you can tell it not to in the menus.
I need some help, my raveneye does not turn blue automatically but only when i connect to my phone. It does not change from blue to green either after connection. I then get a black screen on my phone though I am able to have control of my canon 70D (i can change iso, aperture etc...). But no video feed on my phone. Please help me fix this.
Shoot, im really sorry but Ive only ever problem solved this thing with Sony Cameras. If you can control settings thats a really good sign, and I would look in your menus at the HDMI settings and see what you have there for options. On some cameras, by turning off the 'view info' you'll be able to get the feed out of the raven eye.
I've an A6400 (externally powered), I get everything but a picture. I wonder if the settings I need to use to make my Atomos Ninja V work are interfering.. This is so very frustrating.
I don’t see why the 6400 should be different than the 6600.. Go to hdmi settings and try turning off info display. That might bring back the display
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE I have an a6400 as well. I did everything you said in the video and in your comment and the screen is still showing black.. idk what's going on, maybe it doesn't work with Sony a6400?
@@michaelraycampos9246 The last thing I know to check for is that with your ronin stuff, you would have gotten a bunch of cords.. The "Sony Multi Cord" looks just like and fits in the same port as the "Sony USB-Micro" cord does. You need to be using the sony multi cable and not the usb micro. They originally came labelled.
If THAT doesnt work, then Im out of ideas other than what a good excuse to upgrade cameras!
Please I just bought rsc2 with raveneye, and Sony a6600... The raveneye is not transmitting the video... The app on my phone is black.. no video showing... I changed the settings in my camera still nothing... please can you help?
You are probably using the Micro-usb cable and you need to switch to the Sony MultiCable. They have the same connection but work differently. It’ll be in the kit.
Do you use the raveneye system when vlogging?
Not typically; sometimes I set it up on a tripod in a big room if I’m going to move around
On the setting you are on does it allow you to record to the camera memory or does the video recorded stay on your phone ?
It will record to the camera memory.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE there’s a bunch of videos on the ronin app on the phone but when I press playback on my camera they don’t show up
@@eric_erock434 interesting. On my camera, the ronin sends the message to press record when you tell it to on the phone app. It’s tough to diagnose what yours might be doing without seeing I guess
Can’t find my password some please help
Shutterspeed, Aperature and ISO is coming N/A in App while transmitting video via Raveneye. how to fix this?
Its super annoying but you can only have one or the other and not both.. You can get video without those, or you can get those without video by using a micro USB cable instead of the sony multicable
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE I thought the cable was the problem. Thank you for clarifying. Will this get fixed in future updates?
@@divyasagarKaushik I sure hope so!
I'm having issues seeing the video on my smart phone. Everything else sea to be working. My.phone is android And my camera. Canon Rebel. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you be a tiny bit more specific? There are about 20 canon rebel cameras spanning 15 years! Same with your phone, is it modern or out dated?
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE modern phone Motorola G7 & Eos Rebel T6. Thank you in advance my friend!
@@JumaaneRay Unfortunately I do not see your camera on the compatibility list :( www.dji.com/support/compatibility
When I got my rsc2 2 weeks ago. The Raven eye works. But just today... I tried for 3 hours... All my devices cannot detect the Raveneye wifi.. Even though the light is blue... Anyone can help?? 😢😢😭
You didnt change any of the cords that are plugged into it?
I know it sounds really over-simple, but did you try restarting your phone with a hard restart? (iphone thats volume up, volume down, then hold the button on the right until the screen goes black and you see the apple). EVERY once in a while its RAMs fault if nothing else has changed.
Hello. Can we touch on the phone to change the af point?
Sadly not while also controlling the gimbal with the phone. That would be the worlds best implementation. The best solution Ive found is that the a7Siii has a focus tracking feature, so you can set that by tapping the back of the camera, and then use your phone to drive the gimbal. I wish they could do both.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE on a6600 did the camera turns black after connecting or recording using the phone app?
@@hkvisualsvideography nope, the camera still shows its screen. That’s a setting in the menus for it to turn off if it’s sending the picture out through HDMI. But on a6600 it continues to show the screen on both
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE luckily im also using a6600. Is it worth to buy the pro combo? Or just buy the gimbal only?
@@hkvisualsvideography by FAR worth it to get the pro.. The RavenEye doesn't come with just the gimbal, and you wouldn't be able to make use of these tracking features.
Hello, I have a Sony A7III, When i connect the sony multi cable and HDMI, I see my video on the smartphone but I can't switch the ISO, Shutter and apurture on my phone. Same as in your video.
If I use the usb C port and the HDMI than I can switch the ISO, Apurture and shutter on the phone but I have a black screen on my phone with this combination.
how can we fix this?
It’s crazy, but Somy addresses this and literally says that so far that’s just it. You can have one or the other but there’s no way to make a cable that does both. That seems completely silly, but for now it’s true.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE Unfortunately we will have to wait for an update 🙁
Thanks for the information 🙂
If DJI could only make it as easy as Hohem MT2 tracking sensor, that would be amazing! The Hohem is too week and poor quality, but really cool tracking technology.
We need a video how to buy one first. . lol
Hahaha, stimulus checks? Go Biden?
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE haha. lol. No I meant, I have been looking to buy one for DJI or anyone else for a long time now. Still out of stock.
@@tomzphone oh, wow! I didn’t know they were out of stock. They came out back in like October, that’s nuts!!
