Do I need to buy the pro bundle? Do I need RavenEye to do active tracking on the DJI RSC 2?
DJI Ronin SC 2 (RSC 2) came out later this year and one of the MAIN reasons their initial spotlights on these things caught my eye was ACTIVE TRACKING through this Raven Eye Transmitter. I wanted to be able to do subject tracking, and motion tracking with my gimbal.
With the old Ronin SC you could do active tracking, but in order to make it work, you have to mount your phone to the top of your camera, and you can only use a lens thats something close to your phone lens because its looking through your phone to do the tracking, and then your phone is sending commands to the gimbal for it to move. But it made the rig awkwardly weighted and also, you can only start it and pick a subject to track THROUGh your phone, which is mounted on top of the camera and facing forward, which makes it really hard to pick yourself as that subject. And also, this meant that when you were done with whatever tracking shot and you wanted to be able to use your phone again, now you have to re-balance the gimbal and its a whole thing. It was always just enough of a hassle that I didn’t ever use it.
With the addition of this raven eye transmitter - the new RSC2 can see directly through your cameras eye, and take control of the gimbal to track subjects, the same tracking technology thats in their Mavic drones…
The raven eye module connects directly to your camera and your gimbal; it sees through your camera, which means you can use any lens you want, and then sends that view to your phone where you can then swipe and select a subject, making it much easier for you yourself to BE that subject, even from across the room. For me, this is going to totally change the way I can shoot DIY stuff because I have this whole warehouse that I can move around in and the camera SHOULD just stay on me all the time. Another good use for this technology is tracking a subject that ISNT moving, but that you are moving around.. Maybe youre on a bicycle or a skateboard or something and you want a smooth track but what whatever reason youre unable to look at the monitor of the gimbal, now the raven eye can do the work of keeping the subject in frame while you move the camera rig through space.
BUT, when you buy this gimbal, you have two choices. You’ll see them listed as DJI RSC 2 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for $499.99, and DJI RSC 2 Pro Combo 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for $739.99. If you want to use Active Track with this gimbal, you’ll have to buy the pro combo.
What ISNT initially totally clear with their promotions and everything I read about it, was that active track is NOT built into the gimbal, and the Raven Eye doesn’t come with it UNLESS you buy the “pro combo.” The Pro Combo is a couple hundred dollars more, it comes with a focus motor so you can use manual lenses, a set of metal feet instead of plastic ones, a mount for your phone so it can hang off the side of the gimbal and be a monitor (and also control the raven eye) and a bunch more little bits and cords and mounts and things.
Its this Raven Eye Module that makes it so your gimbal can do active tracking. It IS available for sale independently, but its not in any stores and at least at the time of filming, its sold out everywhere. It mounts directly to the gimbal and sits under your camera and you’ll plug in an HDMI cable from your camera to the raven eye, and then a data cable from the raven eye to the gimbal, and also another data cable from the gimbal back to your camera - allowing a perfect circle of data harmony to flow through the whole system.
If you choose the cheaper option, what youre getting is basically a slightly stronger, more refined, easier to balance version of the Ronin SC with a tiny LED screen for settings and a focus wheel.
I love my Ronin SC, and the RSC 2 seems to fix each of the small things that made it cumbersome. The biggest being the active tracking; but they’ve also made a huge improvement on balancing. On the older Ronin SC, if you ever took the camera off and then put it back on again, you’d have to go back through half of the balancing process to get it perfect. Now, as long as youre always using the same camera with your RSC 2, they’ve swapped out the mount so that you balance it once, and theres a mechanism to just clip out your camera, and slide and click it back in - poof, still balanced. That and the payload capacity goes up to 3kg from 2kg because of the stronger motors, making this thing just a better gimbal!

It seems like you're the only person online that actually said the difference between the basic and pro rsc 2 kits!!! I'm definitely getting the pro because even to this day (March 2021) the raveneye is still on backorder and I need that for my plans. Thank you for clearing up what we were all wondering! Had to sub for this.
I have a sneaking suspicion "back orders" have no intention of ever filling. Its a clever way to make people buy the pro bundle, its just so odd that they and no one else says it out loud! Raveneye is so good!
Agreed! 100%
Exactly Aj!
Even in 2023, Raveneye is awesome. I use it daily, can't imagine recording anymore without it. Blows the Canon Connect and Sony Creator apps out of the water.
First video on the RSC2 that actually explained it all properly. Thanks!
Excellent video! Right to the point! Really love this! This was not a Clickbait discussion into a different DJI product that some of the other people did. Thank you for making it.
Incredible video! Simple, informative, and right to the point. Thank you.
Great breakdown, now I'm GLAD that I bought the Pro Bundle before I watched this, heh. Well shot, well lit, good presentation, and the info I was looking for. Subbed.
Literally the video I’ve been looking for! Thanks for the info I’ll be going with the Pro bundle
Excellent! Glad I could help! It was annoying to have to return everything I bought after putting it all together and setting it all up, for sure...
really great video man. Awesome demonstration of the active track system and your presentation and on camera presence was excellent. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much!! I’m pretty new at this and I keep trying to improve on each video
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE is the active track reliable enough for weddings?
The video I was looking for . Thanks man! Literally just clicked “purchase” after seeing ur video
Thanks!
Jeesh thanks for that review! Had to go through so many horrible review videos that didn't quite get to the point. Cheers!
Great video. Exactly the information I was looking for.
Keep going man.... great video. I needed this video for sure
Nice work Nick. Your video was first on the search results for the keywords: "ronin rsc 2 active track". Good information for you to know. Yeah, ActiveTrack is definitely a game changer. Specially if you are shooting B-roll (like I do). Thanks man! I am going to go the with the Pro Bundle thanks to your wonderful video! Cheers matey!
Great review. I'm ordering a RSC 2 today, so excited :)
This thing is so smooth..
Look for an answer everywhere on this and finally your video came up.
Your intro hooked me right away! Showed*** me exactly what the RavenEye does. Thanks and great video!
Shoot, thanks Jeremy! I hope I’m finally getting the hang of this youtubin’ after so much pandemic practice!
The best explanation of many questions I have!
Dang- wish I had found your review before buying the RSC2 for what I thought would be Active Tracking. You're right- few other reviews make the distinction from the pro bundle (I've also seen some taking it out of the nice case without stating that's just the pro bundle...) So thanks very much for the clarification-
Been searching far and wide for this video.
This was so helpful, thank you!
very clear explanation about whats the difference and why .... thnx
Very informative, thank you!
The only Video that had what I needed!
Exactly the info I needed!
Exactly the kind of thing I want to hear!
That was great! Got a Ronin SC to Christmas and im loving it.
Did you get the raveneye with it? I can’t get over how nice it is to have a robot camera man to follow me
Honestly? The best RSC2 video I've watched and I've watched a lot! Thumbs up from me and I'm off to troll your other related vids! Thanks for making and sharing!
Thanks! I’m glad it made its way in front of you!! Hope you find something else interesting on here; I know I bounce around to a lot of totally unrelated subjects..
Looks like you’re about in the same place in your TH-cam life timeline as I am
this is the best explanation yet.
Great information. I opted for the base model. I think I’ll just upgrade as I expand my usage.
Yeah the base model is still basically the best gimbal ever made.. The raven eye module has its uses, but if its not a way you plan to ever use the thing, its worth saving all that money.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE especially since I picked up my base model used on B&H for $399. I didn’t even have to think when I saw that! 😁
I’m just happy DJI has an upgrade path for people that want to do that. Very consumer friendly.
Key information! Thanks!
Nice review - thanks!
Thanks for the video
Nice video , short and helpful
Why thank you! Im just not big enough to need to pander to the all mighty algorithm just yet. And I hope not to once I am!
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE I have seen a lot of video about rsc2 . I know o will buy it but your video make me interesting to check it out even I have seen many other TH-camrs
This is the exact video I needed
Don't know who you are, looks like your channel is relatively new, however this video rules... please make more. I subscribed (don't let me down). seriously though, keep up the good work.
Thanks Dan!! I am pretty new at this, but I’ve actually JUST decided to give it a real attempt.. Working on my next one this very moment!!
Thanks for the tip!
I wish I would have seen this before purchasing! I had the same questions. Thankfully Best Buy has an extended return window for the holidays. Additionally, you get a case with the pro combo, which you can't find separately.
Oh I should have mentioned the case. But yeah! That’s what made me decide to make this video, and luckily, same, Best Buy took it back, even though I had ripped open all the little baggies holding all the little bits..

Loved this video
Nice Content Buddy 🤙🏼🤙🏼
This video is pure awesomeness
best review for this gimbal
Thanks! Super useful review. What cam/lenses do you recommend to use with a RSC2 for a new channel? I want to start an interview channel. Thank you
Hey, so how are you picking up audio while using the raven eye? Are you using your on camera mic?
GREAT REVIEW!
Hey. Great video! I'm wondering which sony cameras are compatible with the raveneye
Great video - thanks
Great review!! Thank you. I’m ordering the RSC 2 Combo because of you. Any suggestion for the SmallRig horizontal arm brackets? Where would the smartphone mount go?
If you’re ordering the pro combo, it comes with a specialty smart phone bracket that slides on and works perfectly!
Well explained video! Better than the big youtube guys’ videos!
Hey thanks! I think that means more than you might think it means! Its looking like if everything keeps going the way its going, Ill be monitized by april and on my way to being a real 'youtuber' :)
Thank you, somebody is finally going through the difference between the pro and non-pro versions.
I think they caught a TON of people off guard, wether on purpose or not. But it sure looked from the adversing that these gimbals just did tracking out of the box.
I got the Pro before I watched this video. You are getting a like from me because you let me know that I don't have to go through the balance crap every time if i'm using the same camera, saving me much needed time. If I fold it up though, will I need to rebalance it?
Thank You very much! I would also like to clarify one detail related to RavenEye. On the smartphone I get a stable picture, everything is fine, but on the RS3 screen, when you swipe to the right, an image should also appear and you can use Active Track by touching the screen. But I am getting a black screen even though I have connected all 3 cables. Is this a gimbal bug or am I doing something wrong? Thank You!
The best one done on RSC 2! I still want to know how to mount an external monitor on the RSC 2?
great channel keep up
Thanks for the video! Do you know if this system sill work with manual/vintage lenses? I'd like to get this gimbal and use it like you do here to follow me while shooting on my M50 with c-mount lenses. I know focus would be a consideration (not in market for rs2) but just want the gimbal to follow me while I set a DOF appropriate for the movements I'm making. Any help appreciated
Thank you.
is the focus motor quiet? can I record the sound directly on the camera and you don't hear anything?
I have the Ronin SC pro combo, so is all of the focus motor components that came on the original SC, would those work on the new RSC 2?
And if that's that case, if i want the RSC 2, would that mean I would just need to get the gimbal and raven eye transmitter only?
Can you help with a video on how to install Raven eye for Nikon D850
Incredible!! You got yourself a new sub. How would you compare the zhuyin image transmitter to the raven eye, which is better? Thank you
oooo, I havent used the zhuyin one.. Maybe its worth picking one up to take a look!
MaN! Thanks- I was exactly looking for this type of setup. Ive gone thru dozens of vids looking for a way to shot solo a movie I'm working on.
I am so glad I could help! There are soooo many combinations of hardware, but by far I love the a6600 with this new gimbal.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE are you able to toggle photos with the a6600?
@@PaulEckhardt yes you can!
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE nice! Did you try the porama feature? I had trouble with the 6500 and am wondering if it was just my unit
@@PaulEckhardt I haven’t, actually. I will give it a go this weekend and report back.. maybe I’ll make another video about this thing more in depth with its features
Hey! Great video, just had a quick question. Will power run into the camera once all the cables are connected? or is it just for data? Considering the pro combo but I want to make sure my camera will keep charging so it won't die while on the job
Depends on the camera, for some reason. With sony alpha cameras, yes the gimbal will charge them while theyre on it.
I have a Canon XA40 which is not supported by the Ronin SC2. Can you use the active tracking by connecting the HDMI of the camera to the Raven Eye module? Without camera controls
Got an rs2 rocking up in a few hours! Love this video, thanks!!. Question; can you make active track keep the subject in either 1/3 of the screen left or right, or is it always centre tracking only. Ie for interviews?
My only guess is that you could ask it to track a shoulder or something else that works enough to keep your subject slightly to the side of frame.
You CAN! It tracks your subject at the point where you set it. So if you drag a box around someone at 1/3rd frame, it will keep them there! At first I was annoyed but then I realized how much that’s a good thing!
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE Omg! This is amazing. I couldn’t find that info anywhere. Legend, thanks!!!!
I now own an RS2.
Used plenty of consumer gimbals before, this is next level, but also comes with added complexity, need lots of practice to be ready to use commercially.
I used to be able to setup, balance and shoot with the Crane V1 in about 2-3 mins. I feel like this needs about 10-15 to setup with raven eye, and then hope to god it all connects on the day. I think one must not underestimate simplicity when considering all the other equipment that may be required to film a job.
Very happy but prob most annoyed it’s not a manfrotto mount on the camera itself. Whhhyyyy?
And indeed the reviews stating that the phone mount hits the pan arm is a terrible design flaw! Not sure if that’s a prob on the RSC - I’ve watched too many videos and lost track haha
what spec of lens was this shot on ?
And how do you use the raveneye with the camera in an upright position?
can you display the video feed on both your phone and camera's screen at the same time?
Does the RavenEye work with a telephoto lens though? like let's say 400mm?
Hi, do we need to remove camera from gimbal after each use or we can permanently fix our camera in gimbal, am asking this question because of any load problems for gimbal while I attach my camera always to gimbal..
Thanks for the video! What phone are you using and is there too much latency compared to a monitor?
It’s an iPhone 12. And actually no, there’s VERY little latency. It’s pretty amazingly responsive.
do you mean i should have focus motor to use active track ?
what if i have only basic version
is the active track much better in the rsc2 compared to the sc?
nice i
nfo bro thanks
nice one, can I recommend you get a lav mic if you dont have one already, so when you make use of the excellent tracking features of the raven eye you can keep your audio perfect, I see you use the tascam dr05 which is what I use paired with the rode lav mic.
I might check that out; I bought a pretty cheap lav and I don’t really like the sound that comes out of it, specially if I’m talking into that big mic on the same video, they’re so different. The rode one makes a big difference?
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE yeah the rode one sounds much better than the cheap ones, obviously it’s still considered a budget mic, my voice is more bassy though but it sounds miles better, my rode ntg3 sounds best overall but for a one man band a lav mic is the best way to ensure you always capture clear sound.
You sir, have said what I’ve been looking for on the internet.
I bought the sc2 non pro combo and was trying to get to active tracking. Turns out you do need the pro combo.
Will have to return and purchase the pro combo.
I have to say, this is a downgrade in comparison to the older sc. as that one had active tracking out the box. Sure you couldn’t active track yourself. But you could still active track a subject.
I KNEW I couldn't be alone in this! Luckily, best buy didn't flinch at accepting my return, even though fitting that thing and all its components back into the custom foam mold is nearly impossible and of course all the plastic baggies are gone..
I can agree with you on the active track, but EVERYTHING else about this newer SC2 is an upgrade. For me, the click in mount so you dont have to rebalance is just wonderful. And once you DO have this RavenEye thing, and can control stuff from your phone on a big touch screen mounted to the side of it, it definitely makes the gimbal much better to use.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE yeah. I had to scroll quite a way down to find this one!
Thanks again for making it.
Exactly the same case for me. So difficult to find out info about it, so I might have to return mine as well!
So if your camera auto focus sucks like the gh5 and have it in manual focus, does the pro combo with the focus wheels turn the camera to an auto focus throughout the raveneye?
So it has the focus motor that will drive your manual focus lens - but for it to do autofocus you have to get one more thing, the 3d focus system. Raven eye is just for object tracking, it relies on the camera to do the autofocusing, but with the 3D focus thing, theres one more module that goes on your camera that DOES make the focus motors into autofocus for manual lenses.
Heres a link to an overview of it from DJI, th-cam.com/video/_0x0ryJf294/w-d-xo.html
Great review and very informative video.
I notice that your activetrack works with pan and tilt axis... have you done anything in settings? I have the same gimbal and raveneye, but with a Sony RX10III, and active track will only pan, no tilt.. Liked and subbed.
Huh! Thats interesting to hear.. I didnt do any sort of setup concerning which axis it should use. It just tracks in all directions out of the box.. I cant see that having anything to do with the camera model, since its just using the video feed to make its decisions.
Im real curious to hear if you come up with a solution to that..
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE yes, the video transmission from the camera is very fine, so I can't figure out whats wrong.
Thanks for your response, and great content.
Great content! would you recommend using Raveneye for a wedding? that's what I am thinking about. Also, I know Raveneye has its own battery, but eventually it'll die and the gimbal can charge it. is there anyway to stop that? I'd rather it just die while shooting a wedding than draining the gimbal's battery too.
thanks,
Interesting question. I think at this time, you won't be able to use Raveneye without it being charged and therefore draining some of the gimbal.. If you unplug it it won't do its thing.. I guess currently the only work around would be that the RSC2 CAN be charged while in use, so you could strap an external battery to it, those will usually have a screw hole on them somewhere, or just some black gaff tape in a pinch - and that way you'd have so much battery life that it pretty much just wouldn't matter.. That gimbal already lasts like 11 hours as it is...
Hi. If I saw your video before I bought my rsc2, it will be combo. But now I have simple version. Is there any other variants to see what is filming my camera Sony A73?
You can try the “Imaging Edge Mobile” app, that should let you see through the camera with your phone over a WiFi connection.
You can also buy the raveneye module separately.
Broke my heart at 3:05😭😭😭
Oh no!!! I don’t know why they’re not more clear about that!
Does it come with the raven eye?
What accessorie did you use to mount your microphone?
There’s a little cage called “Small Rig” and They’ve made them custom for pretty much every new camera, and it comes with a whole bunch of cold shoes all over it so you can mount stuff.
I need to start using my RS2 and raven eye😢😢😢😢
I bought a rsc2 standard! You guys underate the gimbal without the raven view! Please respond
Im not sure I understand what you mean.. I was specifically talking about the RavenEye. The Gimbal is still an awesome Gimbal without it! It just cant do Active Tracking without it
my main use of one of these gimbals will be for the tracking. I'm currently looking at the ronin s because of the sigma 18-35 i primarily use being so front heavy and the balancing issues and potential stress on the motors with balancing weights etc over the course of time with the regular sc model but the sc2 now says it holds about 6.5 pounds vs the previous 4.4 tested payloads. this new version seems that it would be able to handle it but i'd like to get more opinions or if anyone has experience using that lens with this gimbal and how it worked out for them.
In fact I have that very same lens, and I mounted it on a relatively heavy camera - the Nikon D500, to test it out and it handles it just fine! So if you have something like literally any sony camera, it would be even lighter..
But yes, the SC2 is way stronger, way stiffer, and way more stable than the SC, I have them both. Of course, the RS2 would be EVEN stronger, in case you ever started feeling crazy and wanted to use something like a 70-200 on it youd be covered..
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE i really appreciate your reply. that helps a ton. i have a fuji xt4 which is a relatively light camera so it sounds like with the sigma on it things will work great with the sc2 model. thanks!
hello, do You happen to know if dual arms from ronin S fit somehow to RS2 and RSC2? I'm not really sure, but mounting brackets on ronin S dual arms look like NATO rail standard.
There are mounting attachments in the kit so that the RSII and RSCII can have the same old mounts. I’m not sure what you mean by dual arms.. There are dual mounts
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE I meant Ronin-S Switch Grip Dual Handle, there was bracket and two arms/handgrips connected to it. I wonder if these have the same mount
1:51 , is it me or the footage with Active Tracking is a bit jerky/ghosting? You cut from tracking clip to your talking head clip and your movement seems a lot better. Does Active Tracking/RavenEye pose some heavy processing that the camera footage start to become jerky?
When you can see the tracking info, that’s a screen capture on my phone. And yeah, same with when I do active tracking on the DJI Magic Air 2, it seems that it must use a lot of phone processor power to do the tracking, send commands to the gimbal and screen record at the same time. I’ll bet tracking is using all the cores on my phones processor so that screen recording takes a hit. But the final recording from the camera is quite smooth.
Oh my god thats great especially when youre doing a video with lots of movements here and there or vlogs😊 my channel is a beauty related channel, i just sit in one place and shoot but Im considering on making vlogs too soon and this might be something im interested in really...! But I bet its expensive 😂😂
Well it’s ALSO very useful just as an external monitor - it sends the live feed from your camera to your phone even across the room. So you can see if you’re framed up the way you want without having to see the camera screen! And start and stop it and stuff.
Awesome video! I'm buying the DJI RS2 Pro this week. Can't wait!!!
I'm a personal trainer taking my work to the online universe. Mother Nature/Pandemic has given me the nudge to up my game. I have a question for you. What are your thoughts on using this technology for Zoom/live streaming? I have one challenge I'm trying to figure around, I have a Canon M50 and trying to figure out how to come up with a Clean HDMI and maintaining 1080. Any thoughts suggestions are greatly appreicated! -Jeremy
I DO zoom with this!
So you can go out of the cameras hdmi into a Camlink 4K, and that little thing makes tour computer think the camera is a webcam and it just pops up in zoom. With the full resolution of the camera!

Does Active Tracking works with manual vintage lenses equipped with the DJI 3d focus?
Yep! In fact it comes with a motor and a rubber gear ring to put on the lens and have the gimbal control the focus!
does the in camera stabilization still works when using Raveneye??
Yes it sure does. At least with the a6600 and the a7Siii it does.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE ohh ok, I saw another guy on TH-cam saying that it didnt, will keep searching, thanks for the answer.
Is the raveneye system reliable? I mean it could be used also without the gimbal as hdmi wireless transmitter for pulling focus remotely? Or it would be better something like the hollyland 300 pro transmitter?
Do the focus motor work without the gimbal as a stand alone focus system?
For me it has been totally reliable.. The longest Ive had it run was 55 minutes continuously and it never stopped transmitting or giving out data. The focus motor only works with with the gimbal.
So yes and no, it works fabulously as a wireless transmitter, but you couldn't pull focus remotely with it.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE thanks for your reply. Is the raveneye a stand alone transmitter? Could I use it without the gimbal as hdmi wireless transmitter with another remote focus system? Or I should buy also another kind of transmitter like the hollyland?
@@giacomocagnetti2529 Yes you can! It has a hot shoe mount so it can attach right to the top of your camera, or on a cold shoe of a rig. Its got its own battery, too, so it works without the gimbal.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE thanks a lot... How is the performance of the battery of the raveneye?
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE the battery lasts only for 55 minutes ???
I feel so conned!
I bought this gimbal RSC2 and nowhere was stated that you need raven eye for active track. Can you use active track without the RavenEye?
Please help somebody..
That was my same reaction when I found out! And no, sadly you cannot use active track without Raven Eye
That's not cool, I'm still wondering what will happen if my phone rings while using it for active tracking 😁🙃
Your video was awesome Nicholas and you are smart and give us some good smile. I subscribed to your channel. I have also a small channel and know how important is to subscribe. So.. here I am and let ne tell you that you deserve it eheh
Can you use it for phone??? I stream a lot using phone. Thank you
Oh interesting - it does send a stream to your phone, but the Ronin app has to be running for it to work and they dont have a live stream output.. They really should! I dont know of a way to live stream with it, unless your camera happens to have that function, I know some very new ones do, like the Sony ZV 1
Are you balancing gimbal with all the cables?
Sometimes everything is connected, sometimes everything isnt connected. But this gimbal is quite a bit stronger than the last iteration, so even if you balance before you connect all the cables the motors have no problem compensating (of course, not ideal and sometimes can lead to some quivering, though usually not). And the battery is so big I never seem to shoot long enough for it to matter that its working 3-5% harder as a result. Also Im lazy
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE thank you 🙏
Raveneye is now sold separately.
Hey at 2:30 what camera is this?
That is a Sony alpha a6600. It’s a really good camera, super fast autofocus that locks really well. And 4K.
Can the rsc2 work with R5 and say the L lens 28-70 or the heavier 70-200.
Yep, the RSC2 can hold 6 pounds. And the r5 is only a bit over 2 pounds. As long as those lenses are less than 4, which I believe they are, it’ll work!
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE im thinking on the ocean and with boating ocean winds that the Ronin2 would be a better choice but i would prefer the smaller easier to carry rsc2
What happens if i receive a call while my mobile phone is connected to the Gimbal 😊
Ha. Depends on the phone I suppose. The newest iPhone software doesn’t snatch the screen away anymore when you receive a call, it’s just a tiny notification on top of the screen that you can ignore or press hang up
I just got the RSC 2, so if I buy the raven eye separately, active tracking will not work?
If you buy the Raveneye, active tracking WILL work! It’s just hard to find it in stock anywhere on its own
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE okay thank you. Was worried for a min. When I got the RS2 I didn't even know about the raven eye. Guess I have to wait for it to come out.... won't really need it until about March, so hopefully by then I have it.
I kind of thought that feature would be just like fun cool gimmick, but it’s REALLY nice to be able to have my phone as an external monitor across the room so I don’t ever have to wonder how it’s framed up.
@@SPACEDESIGNWAREHOUSE I do real estate videos for agents and builders, the active tracking it going to save me some time shooting and editing..... hopefully...
@@tomzphone Well at least youre realistic about 'hopefully!' I think it will... I mean, its pretty hard to get a flawless "enter the room and track the corner of a countertop as you turn 40°" with a drone hand held, specially since I see youre shooting 60fps.. but if the damn raven eye covers the tracking and you just have to walk smoothly, it should be a snap! "should."
