DJI Ronin-SC, 3-Axis Camera Stabilizer, up to 2kg (4.4lbs) Payload, Lightweight Design, Dynamic Stability, Automated Features, Available for Canon/Sony/Panasonic/Nikon/Fujifilm

Use it with a Nikon z6 II and a 24-70mm lens so it's at the maximum weight it can tolerates and it works well it's easy to set and definitely better than alternatives like the newer ones that can't change the battery it comes from or don't come with a good box. The good things are 1_Battery last like 10 hours if balance are good 2_Good case 3_Works well with a mirrorless and big lens 4_Easy to set up 5_Very cheap relative to alternatives 6_Battery can be changed for a newer one if it stops durating as much as a new one 7_Great alternatives for configuration The bad things 1_There is a problem i found with the cable and my nikon in certain conditions such as a shock causing a vibration while weird i found a problem that the camera stops recording randomly and the cable is the problem it needs to be reconnected but anything filmed was lost. I know it's a cable problem so for important speeches or parts of a wedding i had to disconnect the cable due to this weird problem and activating the camera manually instead than from the gimbal, i suspect this would not happen with a bluetooth connected gimbal, still it's a very weird problem i tough it was memory cards at first but now i know it's from the cable. 2_Setting it up for the first time is a pain, you will need to see 15 youtube videos to understand how it works 3_The normal config is crap, you will need to enter with your phone and create your own profiles to work with it for example profile 1 smooth, profile 2 keeping horizontal line stable profile 3 a clone of 1 but faster, the original ones make little sense, this is good in some ways as it forces you to learn how to use it but maybe in newer gimbals with screens they have already multiple profiles ready to use. 4_Only 3 active profiles if you want to use more you need to change one of these 3 from a phone and it looks bad to be using a phone in an event, i found 3 to be ok but if you want to try others you will be forced to use a phone. 5_The case says "dji" this is not a bad thing, in fact the case is great but the fact that it says dji means that most people will associate with drones and walking with it in a shady area may make you a target for thieves.

Love love love love. Perfect. Hard to start but once you get the hang of it, it is a dream to work with.

28JAN2024. Loving this DJI Ronin-SC camera gimbal with it's approximate four pound maximum payload. This gimbal works fine mechanically (balances and controls well with arm and wrist movements) with my Nikon D7500 DX DLSR and the Nikon lightweight 10-20mm AF-P and 15-55mm AF-P lenses (the body, battery, and SD card, with each lens, weighs about two pounds). Even balanced the D7500 DX CLSR with the heavier 16-80mm F2.8-4 zoom Nikon lens. The D7500 does not have the phone connectivity of say the Nikon D500 so I was not looking for nor expecting phone connectivity or control. I selected this nearly four year old gimbal which is quite discounted from it's original price four years ago, because of its price. I even balanced my heavier Nikon FD750 FX body on this gimbal with small fixed focal length lenses the 28-120mm F4 lens is heavy and really strains the gimbal motors, so I do not use it, thought it does balance), but the tall "mirror box hump" does not allow full range of motion such as going from the ground to eye level. However, for normal horizontal panning and such, this combination works well. I had a smaller Zyun Crane-2 Gimbal (using only with my Android Smartphones now) which was rated for the weight of my D7500 DX DLSR with AF-P lenses at two pounds (which often forced the motors to shut down, losing balance). I have since learned that a gimbal's maximum capacity is not the total picture (picture, see what I did there? Haha. ) with gimbals. Center of gravity with respect to the lens and body is perhaps more important than just the maximum capacity. I think gimbals should be rated for maximum weight if the center of gravity is directly over the base mounting arm of the gimbal, then rated for maximum weight for each one-quarter inch the center of gravity extends forward of the base mounting plate. But I am a data analyst by trade so what to I know? This gimbal will easily handle my Panasonic HC-V785 Full HD camcorder. What, you never thought of using a gimbal with a camcorder and it's excellent auto-focus compared to DLSR's? I like the two NATO studs on the sides of this gimbal. I plan to mount a light and mic on one side (with a short arm and multi-cold shoe adapter), and a handle on the other one.

Not working just short of a year, sent into DJI, got an email within a week saying they would repait it within 3-6 business days and mail it back to me at no cost since it's covered under the one year warranty. Hope they can get it to me soon.

Nice gimble

I bought this knowing it didn’t electronically interface with my Canon Eos 80D and whilst it’s still usable as a gimble this has made it difficult to get the full functionality from it I would have liked. I knew this when I bought it though and unfortunately don’t use it as much as I had hoped to originally for this reason. My advice is, if your camera isn’t listed as fully compatible, don’t buy this product. Look for an alternative (I couldn’t find an alternative for my 80D) or purchase a camera that is fully compatible.

The purpose of a gimball is to produce smooth non-shaky videos. It does so under some conditions, unless you film while walking! Apparently, this model, even if perfectly balanced, does not compensate for most of the jerky movement on up-down axis, and you have to walk really smooth. So, why would I need to carry a gimball for that? I will just buy a gopro.

Tuve problemas con Amazon ... Pero eso es otro tema por el envío, 1 mes. El gimbal es una pasada y totalmente compatible con Sony a7iv por lo menos en lo que lo probamos.

Eu trabalho com evento ainda não tive nenhum problema com ele.
