Held out before upgrading to the RS3 and I'm glad I can finally pull the trigger on the RS3.
that vertical flip is awesome!!!
great reviews. thanks
You literally just sold me on this device. The Pro I am thinking. Killer video.
Great review. Lot of good info. The new set looks great!
Thanks mate. I am trying out a couple of diffenet look, but I kind of like it with the blue light on the back wall...
Hey Peter which gimbal would you use for Tamron 35-150 and ZV-E1? Regular RS4 or do you think RS4 Pro would have more stable footage?
Hello Peter! Its nice, clear review. Can you tell me what is that additional arm you used to carry gimbal with two hands? I have Sony A7M4 and Sigma 2470. Is non pro version of RS 4 strong enough that I needn't rebalance gimble if I use full opened or closed zoom?
I’m still using professionally the trusty original Ronin-S almost every week since 2018. I’ve made a lot of money with that tool on countless client projects, and it still works perfectly. Even the battery life is still fine.
I upgraded a lot of gear across the years but not the gimbal as it delivers the exact same thing as the newer ones. Until the battery lifespan will allow me, I’ll continue to use it professionally.
I’ll be happy to switch to the RS4 Pro when that happens though.
Great to hear mate. Why change something that works.
I daily drive the RSC2 and just started incorporating the RS3...but the Ronin S was my go to gimbal for years as well. I still use it for heavier payload setups, and the way the gimbal behaves is 90% as good as the new kids on the block. It's just a little less forgiving of bad form. only a little though. It's the 1080 TI of gimbals.
nice video thank you!!
What setting do you have the deadband set to on the RS4? low, medium or high? Thanks
How to shoot music videos with dji ronin gimbal s...... please tell me gimbal modes and focus settings
Great video bro, very informative, Can we also use that gimbal for gro pro and iphone?
No there you will need tge mini.
also how quick/hard is it to change lens please? I have the Ronin SC but its a mission every time I want to 'swing' a lens. If I want to change from a 55mm to a 14mm with this gimbal, how quick to rebalance please?
Does the raven eye works on the vertical?
Those walking shots are SIIICCCCK. Sooo smooth with no bounce. Are you eliminating the bounce in post at all or just walking with no bounce or is the gimbal helping out that much?
Can I use this to shoot smooth and stable video from a moving vehicle using a Nikon Z50 with a 300mm lens?
Great review. Is the focus motor different than the one that was offered for the rs3 pro?
Yes it's about an inch longer.
God dam it!!! you sold me bro.....its a must have, dam great job my friend, will most def mention your vid...mine was in the basket...Im cheching out!!!
Can you use the high capacity battery on rs3?
is the shot still okay with the rs4 with sony 24-70 or 28-75?
Is the new focus motor significantly taller that the earlier one? I have the motor that came with the RS3 PRO combo but the gears won't reach the lens when using a camera with an integrated vertical grip such as the Nikon Z9.
Yes it is, it is about 26mm or 1 inch taler that the previous
Great review, but my question is would you get upgrade from the rs2 with an fx3 to the rs3 pro or rs4 normal (not pro)
Or just stay with rs2. Is any changes really that different to be worth it
I would upgrade to the DJI RS4. The smaller footprint is perfect, and the new algorithm provides smoother transitions.
is there a difference in smoothness from the rs2 though ? I’ve had it about 3 years now
Do these gimbals have AI tracking similar to the Scorp 2 or Hohem MT2?
What happens when the Teflon coating wears out, will that make it more difficult to balance.
Thanks Peter for another great gimbal review!
The non Pro-RS 4 looks perfect for me, sadly the BMPCC 4K is still not listed as compatible, only on the RS4 Pro.
Could it be possible to fit anyway with some kind of larger plate?
I don’t think the wide body will fit.
@@PeterMakholm Thanks Peter, thats what i feared. I think i will wait a bit, used RS 3s should become much cheaper soon.
Have a great evening in your beautiful Denmark, your shots look stunning!
Please in a future video test the RavenEye with the RS4 vs the Pro (tracking on the screen of gimbal/camera) and connectivy/charging of the camera from the gimbal
Yes please
I will look in to it 👊
Hello, please tell me about your rig. What do you have a quick-release falcam f38 pad attached to the stabilizer and to the handle? Otherwise, I used a blue thread retainer to connect the handle through this pad to the ronin rs3 so that nothing scrolled, but nothing came out...
Hi, my rig is pretty simple. Starting from the bottom. The side handle and tripod legs are connected to the gimbal with an F38 quick release plate. geni.us/h4hJ - The back handle is a SmallRig handle, that just attaches directly to the side mount of the gimbal. Then I have the DJI Specific F38 quick release baseplate for connecting my camera. geni.us/BJBdyQd
Hi, for setups like Canon r5c + rf 15-35 2.8 + nd filters + rode videomic ntg microphone + possibly an external battery, do you recommend rs4 or rs4 pro? I'm from rs2! I'm waiting for you and thank you😎
Hi, Video out later today about this topic.
Hey Peter, thanks for always making the best gimbal videos. Your channel has become a great resource. I have a question if you have a minute:
Is there a noticeable difference in pure stabilization performance between the RS2 and RS4? Would you say it’s a difference worth an extra $400?
I own the RSC2 with the old style DJI focus motor and Raven Eye, and I’ve been thinking about picking up a used RS2 (~$350) so I could use Tilta accessories like the ring grip.
Do you think the RS4 combo kit would be worth the extra $400 USD over a used RS2 for someone that only films motorsports events and local car shows for TH-cam and social media? I honestly won’t ever use LIDAR or vertical shooting. I just want great stabilization that I don’t have to second guess in a fast paced environment.
I would appreciate your advice! I can afford the RS4, but I’d rather not pay extra for features I’ll never use if the RS 2 footage will look just as smooth.
Hi, if you're primarily looking for stabilization and don't need the extra features of the RS4, the RS2 will likely serve you well, but with that said, I prefer the smaller size of the RS4, which still accommodates a larger camera setup. The auto-lock is something you won’t get on the RS2, and is worth spending a little extra to get. With the RS4 now capable of connecting to accessories like a Tilta ring, I see the RS4 as a no-brainer.
The Lidar is sold separately, and only work with the RS4 PRO. Even if you don't use the vertical feature, it's nice to have the option on the RS4 in case you ever need it.
i hope this helps you decide what to get.
/Pete.
Would it be okay for a Sony zv1 ii?
Time to upgrade my RSC2. I'm very happy that we can now use the tilta ring on the non pro version. Nice
Yea it is really nice.
which tilta rig you were refering to?
@@charlesvctr7898 the Ring.
Happy to see a fellow Denmark based creator here. Just got the DS4 Combo and will be diving into your channel. Would love to chat one day!
I still have my Ronin 3 which is doing perfectly well !! To be more convinced to upgrade to any thing higher , I’ll be waiting the Dji Gimbal that doesn’t need one to rebalance and or balance the gimbal !! Balancing the gimbal looks like calculating for the moon landing on a bad weather . 😊
Are thay the same size? Which would be best for the FX6 and the FX3?
Rs4 pro for fx6 and rs4 for fx3
Okay, if I install the base plate of the RS4 onto my RS3, will it be compatible?
No, you can't switch the RS4 plate with the RS3. The dimensions of the tilt arm are not the same.
I plan on putting the Sony a7iv and would love to use this with my 70-200 gmii which weighs 1045g, would the RS4 Pro be able to handle that? thanks!
Absolutely not lol, the 70-200 is a very heavy lens
Is this possible to use old focus wheel from first Ronin-S with this gimbal?
Hi, I do not have an old focuswheel, so I do not know.
I only had my rs3 for a year 😂 upgrading now would be insane..
Yes, if you are satisfied with your RS3, then there is no need to upgrade.
I ordered the rs3 yesterday lmao
I just bought the rs3 2 weeks ago and love it , coming from a weevil S, I don t don't how much better they could make these things
exactly, especially concidering there is no real difference. It's essentially the same thing
Does it have the Dolly zoom option? Because the Rs3 took that away when the rs2 had it
No, you have to do that manualy.
@@PeterMakholm man that sucks I wonder why they took that feature away I used it all the time on the rs2
I had trouble balancing R5 + 24-70/2.8 with EF/RF adapter. Kit was too front heavy and rear side of camera was blocking gimbal arm. Is it better with RS4 or should I go with RS4 Pro?
Hi, with the new wider plate of the RS4, you'll have more room to slide the camera away from the tilt arm. As a reference, I can fit my S1H & 24-70 f2.8mm on the RS4, something I can't do on the RS3. You can check my camera setup and compare its size with yours. However, I'd be surprised if it doesn't fit on the RS4.
@@PeterMakholm I tried but I cannot find total length of your kit anywhere. Your lens is 140mm long in panasonic spec sheet, but is it total retracted length? Also S1H body is 110mm thick, but that includes hand grip so not actual rear-to-mount thickness.
I am in dilemma. Should I get a used RS3 Pro or a new RS4 Combo?
Naahhh, I'm happy with my RS2 Pro, maybe I'll upgrade IN TWO YEARS with the RS10 PRO.
My RS 3 Mini was just to mini for my Canon R5 setup, so I have been looking forward to this day :)
Just hope the newest model is worth the extra cash over the RS 3...
But thx. for the video Peter 👍
With the R5 you are well of with the RS3. But if you have the extra money I would take the new RS4
Why would you upgrade from RS3 3 Pro?
Not really...
I use Sony A73 and Sony Fx 3 with 24-70m and 16-36 , should I get Rs 4 or pro?
Rs4
Can old lidar be used in rs4 pro? please answer
I do not know yet. But let me test it.
@@PeterMakholm Thank you, I have an old lidar. I want to know if I can use it if I buy RS4 Pro. I also want to know if the new accessories are compatible with RS3 Pro. Many people are curious about this. I'm waiting for your answer
does the rs4 work with the tilta ring
Exactly my question? Guess we’ll have to figure it out ourselves
Yes the RS4 works with the Tilta Rig.
@@PeterMakholm thanks
It seems like the main difference is that you get the RS3 for a lower price, and it can curry more weight... is that right? I'm trying to decide what to buy and they feel like they're the same
I just bought an rs3 and I could return it because I’m in the window but I’m not going to , doesn’t seem like it’s that crazy of an upgrade
The weight and design are basically the same. The RS4 is capable of connecting to accessories with the RSA port and it can accommodate larger camera bodies with an upgraded algorithm. If you don't need any of this, you can choose the RS3 and save some cash.
@@Tonellacam Hi, I don't know how much more you need to spend, but if you have the cash I would do the switch.
Ok it's RS3 but with upgraded number 4
Need something with high payload capacity
You consistently produce fantastic content! Have you ever considered creating a comprehensive video tutorial on utilizing and configuring a gimbal specifically for architectural purposes, along with insightful tips on different views and moves that would be beneficial in this context? As an architect deeply involved in crafting and documenting architecture within the Danish firm I'm working for, I've noticed a significant scarcity of resources on this topic. While there are some videos catering to real estate, they often lack the nuanced perspective that a Scandinavian eye can provide. Your unique expertise could fill this gap and greatly benefit those in our field seeking guidance tailored to our specific context.
Hi, thanks for your thoughts on hwo to expand my content. It is actualy a great video idea. where in DK are you from.
@@PeterMakholmthat would be great. I live in Copenhagen. I work for a firm called Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects. If you are interested I can sent you some link to some of the videos I made about architecture. They are on vimeo.
@@PeterMakholm I tried answering you several times but my answer keep diapering. I live in Copenhagen. I work for a firm called Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects. If you would like to see some of the videos I already did. I can sent you some links.
@@sjavit86 Yes, that would be great... love to se what you have done..
Was hoping DJI would finally add a Z-Axis arm, like that in the Ronin 4D. Nice review Peter, but will be skipping this version.
Thanks😊
😂😂😂 Bro its sponsored alright. I will wait for the 6 the 3 is still handy
Can the RS 4 pro battery on the RS3 Pro..?
Yes.
@@PeterMakholm Cheers Bro !
@@PeterMakholmis this the regular battery or can the bigger battery also work on the RS3 pro 🤞
@@christianmbabazi9722both works
@@christianmbabazi9722 Yes The RS3 also works with the high capacity battery. Just tested it here in the studio... 🙂
Lol, wish they made one for Action4 😊
Dji rs 3 vs dji rs 4 whats it better?
The RS4. The new algorithm is a bit smoother and it’s ability to take bigger cameras is why I would take the RS4
@PeterMakholm im waiting dji rs 4 release in indonesia, succes and good job mr. Peter
The printing of the rs4 on the side 😂
since 1 week ı but a rs4 with full batery ı used just 2,5 hour than ı see the battery capacity %10 this realy very bad
I just bought the 3 😭
✌....
Good video but its too positive honestly. Didn’t hear a single negative point. Only the vertical mode is nice.
agreed, the problem with "reviews"(i use the term losely) is, that there is always an incentive to give a positive spin, cause you get a cut of the sale. This is intrinsic and you should look out for it. The only real reviews, although not unbiased are people actually buying the thing and not having any affiliate links in their bio
@@The_DalibanI honestly don't have anything bad to say about the RS4.
@@PeterMakholm yeah. I get that and would even agree. But the RS4 can be a great Gimbal and it might still be a disappointing experience since it is practically a RS3 with a vertical mount.
Both things can be true at the same time.
If Sony released a new camera and hyped the f out of it and it had a new mounting point, but the rest would be virtually the same, we could still say. Great camera.
That’s not the point. The point is, that the changes don’t really warrant a new product.
If you asked me: should i get the RS3 or RS4 if i don’t have a gimbal?
Hands down RS3. Same thing just a ton cheaper.
@@PeterMakholm I noticed that every shot in your real estate video with the gimbal is tilted to the right. Very obvious. Somehow DJI can't get that sorted out (I have the original Ronin S) but it is just a little extra work to correct that in edit.
More of a RS3.5 than anything. This is a joke. If you don't have a gimbal now and need one, go with the RS3 Pro, prices just fell and it's practically the same gimbal.
You're high, the RS4 is 560 and the RS3 Pro is almost 400 dollars more
Just wait couple weeks and You can get absolutely newly totally upgraded RS 5 Ultra Max . Just marketing , dude . Go to creating , not advertising for couple bucks . Keep You soul
Love your humor. 😂
