DJI Ronin SC Settings and App Walkthrough
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- The DJI Ronin SC settings for smooth footage when walking running and any other ways you might want to use it. I walk through the app and talk you through every setting how to use them change them and set them up so the Ronin SC is exactly the way you want it for you! These settings will get you moving toward the smoothest most cinematic footage you can get using your Ronin SC and a mirrorless camera like the Sony A6400 or A7iii. These are the best settings for me yours might be different but if you start here you can always change the settings to better suit your needs down the road!

One of the only tutorials that actually explains things and doesn’t just regurgitate the same terminology from the DJI manual. Thanks bro.
You're welcome!
Whenever I look for SC tutorials, everything I get is f…ing balancing tutorials. I don’t care about balancing, because I already figured it. I want to know how to set it up in a mode that is similar to what IBIS would do, but the sudden jumps the some IBIS cameras do (example Fuji) when you start moving with IBIS on.
Thank you for a great tutorial!
The best VDO tutorial on this gimbal at the moment.
Thank you very much!!
Thank you for putting this video up. You explain this stuff better than everyone else. Cheers
thank you so much I'm glad it helped!
2021, and you still have the best tips! Solid! I feel comfortable with it now as it set as I need it!! You’re the man!
I like this guy. He's the type of guy who won't talk with you if you shoot in anything besides Manual.
ROFL not true I will talk to anyone... I do shoot in mostly manual modes but that's me and my work flow. Truthfully modern cameras auto modes are so good they do more than what most people need! Cheers
Thank you for this video! I had just opened the box, balanced my camera and started shooting videos… they were terrible and shaky! After watching I made a few adjustments and now my videos look 10x better!!! Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
What I really like about your videos is the fact that you are straight to the point. You keep all important information with no bullshit at all. Great channel.
Thank you very much!
Thank you, I was wondering whether to scream, now I am calm. DJI should employ you to replace their horrendous in-ap vids. Next test is to see how this works in -30 degrees!
Lol it works I’ve been there. Glad it helped. You have a cool channel by the way! Cheers
Absolutely, without any doubt, the best video on RoninSc settings. I have only had mine less than a week, and am struggling with The balancing, but I did not even know about the possibilities that you have demonstrated here. Thank you so much, you’ve become my Gimbal buddy, if one can say that in public.
thank you very much
You put the Pro in my set up in this 10min video! Got one this week and was struggling . Did your setup and boom , I can keep up with my 3 year old on a 50mm, lol, thank you so much !
Fantastic glad to hear it!!
New to the gimbal world and struggled to find any clear instructions on the ways to use it.
I have never reviewed a youtube vid before, but felt compelled to, to say thank you !
You’re welcome! Thanks!
Best straight forward setting clip so far. I had it in closet for few months during Bangkok Covid lockdown. Now semi unlocked, time to take it out. Thanks.
Thanks! cheers and stay safe but also have fun
Thanks for the vids Jake! Very helpful and with a touch of humor as well! Just bought the Ronin SC and looking forward to many hours of fun! 👌
Fantastic!!! Cheers
Bro no one went through the app settings thoroughly. I'm glad I found your video:)
within 30 I noticed that too. Glad you found my video as well and I hope it helped you out!!
@@JakeSloan it certainly did!
DJI should be using this tutorial! Some things were driving me crazy but you helped me understand why. Well done!!
Thank you very much
very happy to see this video because i recently purchased this gimbal last night and was very dissappointed my brother, really thanks
fantastic
Thank you very much, writing form Mexico, best explanation of DJi Ronin Set up. God Bless You and take care of your family
Thank you!
I find myself returning to this video often. I love my SC! I also dig that Star Wars / Abbey Road t-shirt!
Nice and thank you!!
Now this is what I call a great, no bs, get to the point tutorial. Thanks!
thank you!
This is the video I wanted. After watching dozens of videos on this product, I didn't get all the information I was looking for in one video. Obviously, it will be subjective on what people are looking for in reviews, but this had everything I needed. Thanks.
Glad to hear it!! Cheers
Jake Sloan, my name is Gui Martins I am Brazilian I can not speak or write English but with the help of google translator I am sending you this message to say that your videos are very good and although I do not understand I know what you are doing with DJI Ronin SC and friend you are helping very much congratulations for the videos thank you for the willingness to teach all this you are the guy.
Thank you! Cheers!!
Thanks so much I bought SC six months ago and never used it, didn't know how set it up or use it
Cheers!
THANK YOU Jake - I've just purchased the DJI Ronin SC and had a bit of a nightmare getting my head around it, but this video has cleared a few things up. Thanks again :-)
Excellent glad it helped you out!!
Very good stuff!
Finally somebody explaining the settings, instead of just how to balance, or play around with the mobile force
Lol you’re welcome! Those features are really fun to play with though 😜
DUDE!!! I've been searching for sooo long for a tutorial like this! thank you so much and I love your style of walk-through/teaching.
Glad I could help!
Great Video!!! thank you so much!! i almost going to sell my SC till i watched you video!
Awesome!!
Gotta love the time laps photos,Thanks,This is very helpful.
Thanks and you're welcome
Love this video Jake! I just bought my Ronin SC and this video helps a lot! Thank you!
Excellent glad it helped! Congrats on the Ronin SC!!
Great video Jake. Just picked up an SC and this will save much time learning. Well-shot, lit, and sound. Good stuff.
Thanks glad it helped!!
Just bought the SC for filming with my new Canon m50. You have saved me from reading the manual 😝 Thanks
yay! have fun with it and enjoy!! Cheers
Just got mine ronin sc today! This tutorial really helps me to set it up. Thank you! 🔥
Fantastic! Cheers
Thank you Jake; you saved me from another setup video! I was sold after seeing the Ronin had the same features available as the lower price gimbals.
Excellent!!
An excellent explanation of the settings to a newbie gimbal user. Looking forward to experimenting with the Ronin SC - it's all balanced and now it's time to experiment with using it.
awesome!
Thank you for your videos. It is going to take me some time to learn the SC. The first time I use it will be at Laguna Seca Raceway in April 2022. Taking stills and video of vintage race cars going down the "Cork Screw". I could wish that you sere there to help! I will let you know how I did. Any suggestions from anyone ?
Glad to hear. Definitely take some time to work with it and you’ll have it down in no time!
Thanks for the video. I think I saw your video before about the push to pan and tilt and I had to rewatch to remember how to do that. No one else has talked about that and this video was really helpful!
Awesome so glad it was helpful!!
Finally a good video on Ronin SC with usable information right to the point. Thanks for that!
You’re welcome!
I bought this yesterday, best piece of tech I own right now besides their drones :0)
Nice
Best video of Ronin SC. Waiting for news.. Thanks
Thanks a lot!!
I love how you casually talk to the camera. I'm still struggling with that aspect because I got used to using teleprompter. beginner here with ronin sc. i set mine to M1: Pan and Tilt Follow, M2: Sports (POV), and M2: Flashlight. This way, I won't get confused whenever I need to switch between the 3 modes.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for all the info I needed it! I do highly recommend using the power zoom though! It can very useful and it's easy
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I just got the Ronin SC for my Canon EOS R. Question? How do you set up your phone to use with the Ronin. I noticed you had airplane mode on. I just don’t want to get a phone call when using this gimble. Thank so much for all the great information.
Yes airplane mode on for sure. Download the ronin app from DJI and you should be good to go!
Thanks for the video , I was myself gonna figure this out and put a video but 👍 you did an awwwwsome job . HELPS TONS !
awesome!!
Great video! I am going to put much of this to good use. Had mine for about 2 years.
Awesome!
Wish I had watched this first! Awesome tutorial, thank you!
Thank you! Did you get everything straightened out?
Hello , Great tutorial!!
Question : Where are the motionlapse/timelapse saved?
THANKS
it is saved as individual photos on your camera that you must then combine
This is the most thorough and concise tutorial I've found, thank you
Thanks
Best videos on youtube for Ronin SC rest are just rambling, this is exactly what you need to know - Subscribed!,
Fantastic glad I could help! Cheers
Hi there.
I don't know, but the street is shaking like crazy (for a gimbal) at 01:25. Same for the mountains in the background after you tilted at them. I did not noticed that on your other videos.
Best regards
Cheers mate. Yeah I found out shortly after that I needed to sent that lens in for repair. the OSS was having issues...
Thank you, very useful and informative video about Mode settings and mobile app!
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped!! Cheers
Great tutorial Jake, thanks for the video 👍🙏
Thanks for watching and you’re welcome!
From what I understood, my Canon T6i would not be able to connect to active tracking?
active track is based on the gimbal and your phone not the camera you use
Just got an SC, thanks for the awesome tips!
Fantastic I’m glad it helped!! Cheers
cool video. I just got the ronin sc for my channel and vlogs so useful seeing how others set theirs up.
Awesome have fun with it!!
One of the Best Video on Ronin SC thank you
Thank you very much!
Just got my Robin SC yesterday and I already know a lot about it...thanks so much to ya for tips and tricks❤️🙏✌️
Just right to the point and easy to follow, what you showcase. Brilliant 👌😎🙂
Awesome! Glad it helped
Great settings and tips Jake! Haven’t tried the Ronin SC yet but thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!!
What's with the crazy vibrations in the footage beginning at 1:26? Is that IBIS fighting with the ronin SC or is that coming from the SC??
Sheldon Charron that’s coming from the broken oss in that lens. Unfortunately I didn’t realize the oss was broken till after I shot everything .
@@JakeSloan Thanks for letting me know. I have a Ronin SC sitting on my desk. Fly out to do a documentary in a week and was like, "Oh crap! Should have picked the the Ronin S."
Hey jake you know best setup similar to this on a73 to where you can mount a mic on the side
small rig does make a small cage that would work to move the mic off to the side
Thank you Jake. this was very straight forward and to the point. very helpful
You’re welcome. I’m glad to hear it
@@JakeSloan Today they announced DJI R2 and RS2 which looks crazy! although I've got the SC now and going to stick to it for a while but would love to see your video on those new ones!
I am going to work on getting one to do some videos on! Cheers
So I came here out of curiosity, because my gimbal has a wicked jitter to it and I figured maybe I just need to try other settings. Your gimbal does the exact same thing and I'm stunned that no one commented on this. Its visible in both the clip at 1:23 as well as 3:45. Watch the road/mountain side--its jittery as hell. Not what a gimbal is supposed to produce.
There is some
Hi Jake this video was so informative as a new Ronin SC owner very helpful. I notice you had the mic on the side. Is that a smallrig left cold shoe? Wondering if you can open the side latch for the mic jack. Thanks
yes that is the small rig shoe mover plate and it works fantastically well. You can still open all the covers etc without any issue. Cheers!
Hello, very nice review but i own a new one i can't connect the cable to my canon D90, can you watch on your phone like a monitor and how do you do that, thank you for sharing
I cannot watch on my phone like a monitor unless I pair with the camera wifi. The gimbal doesnt have that functionality
I dont have the motion control and motion lapse on my app.. what am i missing? Where can I find that feature?
Interesting it might be dependent on what phone you are using
Hi, Jake. Very powerful and nice video You made. THanks !!!
Thanks
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
You're welcome
Because I’m not uncivilized....LOL. I appreciate how you’re a ‘real’ guy; not trying too hard to be a ‘TH-camr’...kinda like me.
We’re in about the same demo...great video; looking forward to watching some more. I’m really liking the Ronin SC so far, aside from how long it takes to set up, from pulling it out of the case to hitting record. (I’m used to my GoPro H7 where I pick it up & hit record. Done.
lol thanks
thank you very much for your explanation about settings. its was extremely useful for me
Excellent. Glad It helped you!!
Great explanation and presentation. It helps me a lot. Thank you!
So glad it helped! Cheers
The push mobile feature only works with IOS devices. Thanks for a very informative video. Great locations in all of them I have seen so far which is really cool. Great info, well presented. Thank you for doing them!
Interesting and thanks for sharing that info!! Cheers
Urgent help wanted from fellow users. Just bought a new RONIN SC. The main unit (not the battery grip) has a large silver lock lever, which is used to lock the battery grip onto the main unit, that lock when used as intended does not go and CLICK at the end or anything. It just only becomes slightly tighter, it does its job but there's no tactile click. Have i got a faulty lock or this is how it behaves normally ? I even tried operating the lock without the battery grip and observed the small silver locking mechanism can hardly be seen moving even when the lock lever is moved to lock and unlock positions. Can someone confirm ? Thanks.
I believe I answered this but the silver lever has no "lock" or tactile feedback because it just adds friction the tighter it gets. so once you have it tight then you are good to go but there is no click or lock that will be felt.
Thanks Jake for useful video. I have concern on my SC, as soon as I click on trigger , Mode (1,2,3) lights it keeps blinking and it is not locking. how to fix it?
Send me a dm on Twitter with a short video clip if you can
Thank You Jake so much ,absolutely great tutorial . i did subscribed to your channel ! You are very informative, better than DJI video ! Cheers!!!
Thank you!
gold! I am watching all videos you made ,specially ronın sc series. they are the best . keep up doing good work.
Thank you very much!!
I just ordered Ronin SC. I might ask you some questions when I got the Ronin. Thank you.
Great
Great video for a new Ronin-SC owners like myself, thank you. You say and show that by pressing and holding the trigger that the gimbal is locked, however on mine it doesn't do that, it simply allows me to go into what I believe is flashlight mode - any ideas as to why mine isn't the same as yours?
I spent the last few days playing around with mine and I cannot get it to do that lol. You might need to reset everything to factory settings and see if that helps. Cheers
Hi Jake! First of all i love how you share tips and settings of Ronin-SC! Thank you so much for sharing! Now my question is i am using CANON M50 Mirrorless camera and wondering why when i push record button on the ronin-sc it doesnt record on my camera, i have to manually press it from the camera. Really appreciate your knowledge ;) and time. Cheers!
Interesting it probably has something to do with the USB settings in the camera, you also might want to check on DJI's site for any specifics for setting up the Canon m50 for use with the Ronin SC
Nice job, just picked one of these bad boys up
Excellent. Congrats!!
@@JakeSloan Thanks Jake, really helped me with the settings, ill be sure to give you a shout out in my next video from Norway next week and the end card as a thank you.
Appreciate it, and you have defo earned my sub
Thank you very much!!! I checked out your channel and you have some cool stuff!
Is it possible to adjust the recenter speed ?Greetings!
it is not unfortunately
Great video. Thank you brother
You’re welcome!
Quick question, how do you set your mic on the side of the camera?
I use this thing here: geni.us/7eXZ and it's great. You can put the mic to the side on top or the side on the side like you see in this video. Cheers!!
What does the lock mode( holding the trigger) technically do? Locks all three axes? When I try holding the trigger button it still pans around a bit as I move, is that normal ?
It should make it stay pointed at the same spot once your push the lock button no matter how you move with the gimbal. If it doesn't then you may need to calibrate the gimbal
Jake Sloan thanks Jake, yeah I may need to calibrate it I think as it does drifts
It keeps the camera locked in the same attitude - that is, level (roll), tilt and pan should all stay at the same angles with relation to the physical horizon. If you truck, dolly or change altitude, what is in your frame will change accordingly, but the camera should stay in the same attitude. Also, moving the joystick will still move the camera - so if it’s drifting, maybe your joystick isn’t calibrated.
Also, make sure you always run the balance check and auto tune as part of your standard setup routine.
❤ great video and very helpful
Thanks!
Thanks for this video, this has convinced me to buy one. One question though: what mic are you using on the camera and how do you get it to the side?
Hey Jorn, I use the Rode Video Micro: amzn.to/3dbDGgp (affiliate link) in this video and the small rig plate here: geni.us/7eXZ (affiliate link) Cheers!
thanks you mentioned things no one else has... Pan-follow etc. With a video example of what they do. thanks. looking for more on that. I see a lot of people mounting the camera to the right of their grip for follow tracking? you say it must be on the camera? (why?)
Thanks! it must be on the camera so as the gimbal moves and tracks the phone follows the movement
What a great tutorial, thanks for sharing!!
you're welcome
Hi Jake, awesome vid. Just on the active track point...does it definitely need to be mounted on the camera? I used the mount on the side of the gimble and active track would lock on then go MENTAL!! Would that be why.?
that is exactly why it went crazy. The gimbal is using your phone camera, gyros and the phone processing power to control the gimbal so if the phone doesn't move with the gimbal then the gimbal will freak out. Cheers!
Thanks for this introduction !!
You’re welcome!
Thanks Jake! A very useful video!
Excellent. I'm glad I could help!
Great thanks but where was it the you went over setting up the motor strength for different cameras?
I don’t have different cameras for it so I only went with what I had. The auto tune feature works really well to set the motor strength.
Yes sir, I got a Ronin sc. Why is the shutter Controller not working with canon 200d Mark?
Not sure is that on the compatible list from DJI?
@@JakeSloan ok
How do you get the record button to work? I'm using a6400 sony, I got it to work once. It seems to be rocket science.
Make sure you turn the camera on after the gimbal is powered up or you may have to turn the camera off and back on again. Cheers!
Great! Just what I was looking for. Many thansk.
You're welcome!
At 1:23 if you look at the cars on the road, there is a lot of micro jittering going on. Is there a way to fix it in the gimbal settings? I'm having the same issue with micro jitters on my SC even after I auto tune each time.
It’s difficult for sure but the best tip I have is get a great balance and if you can use a camera with IBIS. this was shot with out ibis and I found out later a lens with malfunctioning OIS
Thank you so much 💚
you're welcome!
Excellent tutorial, thanks!
You’re welcome cheers!
Very helpful sir! Much better real world tutorial than the usual stuff! Cheers
Thank you very much!!
Great video. Hope you don't mind but It would've been a whole beneficial if you were actually performing the different shots while discussing their settings.
agreed
Thank you very much for this video. I have just bought the SC and was hoping to find an explanation for the best settings. Perfect! Now I have to wait a bit before using it as I have just had shoulder surgery (ouch!). Balancing was a bit of a trial as I am using the Canon EOSR with a 50 mm EF L lens from my 5D. Almost impossible to add the phone mounting on top for active track! The Ronin S would have been ideal for this Set up but as I am not Wonder Woman the SC arrived timely!. Thanks for your great advice. Have subscribed and looking forward to watching your other videos......as I have plenty of time at the moment lol.
thanks
Thanks for this Jake! You got my Sub when you said you keep your framerate at 24p because you're not an uncivilized person XD! Great vid!
HAHAHAHAHAHA awesome and you're welcome! If you have a chance let me know what kind of filming you do and if there is anything specific you'd like me to cover in the future!
@@JakeSloan I make vids similar to yours, just not as good haha! Here's my Ronin sc review - you might like the middle bit where I make a short film using active track th-cam.com/video/mszxBWw8ViU/w-d-xo.html
I'm looking forward to checking out more of your stuff!
Actually, civilised people use 25fps.
So what about the camera settings to ensure your footage will be in focus. I'm guessing infinity with your fstop wide open(?) ISO?
I use Sony's fantastic auto focus for the most part
Great video looking forward to getting mine in a few days , what camera do you have on this gimbal please ?
awesome
