Its been well over a month given that DJI teased its brand-new products, however today it officially announced 2 new gimbals– the Ronin S 2 and the smaller sized Ronin SC 2.
Both three-axis gimbals included upgrades you d expect– stronger motors, much heavier payloads, lighter products, but also some software application features we have not seen yet. Before we get to that, lets start with the hardware modifications on the RS 2.
The gimbal likewise features a small 1.4-inch touchscreen screen that sits right above the joystick. It can be used to show gimbal settings, video camera information, and send a live feed of what the video camera is taping, but its primary function is so you can use functions like active track without attaching your mobile phone on top of the camera.
The more expert gimbal out of the 2 is now made with carbon fiber and is 1.3 lbs lighter than the original Ronin S, weighing in at a total of 2.86 lbs. DJI says the RS 2 supports maximum dynamic payload as much as 10lbs. It can in theory hold even heaving rigs, however you most likely will not get ideal performance with that.

DJI is also presenting Titan Stabilization Algorithm, a predictive innovation which in theory ought to optimize to your specific shooting style over time and cut down on manual user input when it comes to speed, deadband and acceleration settings. When shooting with a tighter lens of up to 100mm focal length, the second brand-new software improvement is called SuperSmooth and its particularly designed for smoothing out movements.
The Ronin SC 2 is a smaller sized variation of the RS 2 constructed for smaller sized mirrorless cams. This years updates consist of a brand-new collapsible design and a number of the software application and hardware includes included to the RS 2.
There are a couple of other modifications that will make any filmmakers life simpler. The follow focus wheel is now found on the front of the manage and sits right above your forefinger. Both RS 2 and RSC 2 are now suitable with Arca Swiss & & Manfrotto plates. Which very same axis can now be fine-tuned with the stabilizing knob after you have actually already mounted your electronic camera, which ought to accelerate setup times between shots.

The brand-new foldable style permits for this gimbal to be kept in sling mode, which makes it possible for shooting extremely low to the ground, and theres likewise a little 1-inch screen right above the manage.
The gimbal weighs in at 2.65 lbs, which is simply a little heavier than its 2.4 pounds predecessor. Its more powerful motors support a checked payload of up to 6.6 pounds. I felt that the initial Ronin SC was just a bit underpowered when I checked it last year. This year DJI guarantees that more popular camera/lens combinations will work much better, such as a Panasonic SH1 coupled with a fairly heavy 24-70mm lens.
