DJI Ronin-SC 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer, Grey (CP.RN.00000040.01)

I originally purchased a Zhiyun Crane M2 for my Canon m50, and it just couldn't balance it well. I decided to pony up the extra dough and buy this gimbal instead, and am I glad I did. This is cutting-edge technology that should give you incredibly smooth footage if you have a smaller mirrorless camera such as the Canon m50 or many of the Sony cameras. From other reviews I've seen it looks like it can work perfectly well for larger mirrorless cameras like the Canon EOS R and the Sony A7III, but you are likely going to have to be more conservative in your lens selection as there isn't enough clearance to handle really large lenses. With that said, this is a very capable and relatively convenient gimbal. I think it's a great entry-level gimbal for someone serious about videography or a great secondary gimbal for the professional who doesn't always want to go out with a bulky setup.Make sure your camera and lens combination is compatible, and if it is, you are in for a treat using this gimbal.

Super happy with this product. DJI doesn’t miss. Solid sturdy feel, crazy smooth movements, simple setup and UI. Important to note if you’re somewhat new to videography equipment or to gimbals in general, while I would absolutely recommend this particular model to anyone new to the hobby, be very aware what size lenses you need to accommodate. Obviously this is entirely your personal need and preference but as I primarily do concert photography for heavy rock/metal bands and venues which naturally tend to be much lower light and often at quite a distance, the zoom lens that I would generally need to be using was just a little too big that I was not able to properly balance while still clearing the body of the camera without hitting the tilt or pan arms, so as much as I loved the size and convenience of this one I did have to upgrade. So unless you HAVE to use a hilariously oversized lens you should be perfect with this model and I still recommend 10/10.

No previous experience with gimbals. I mount my Lumix, 500g aprox., balancing required attention to detail. Manual balancing was straightforward, I achieved a near-perfect balance within minutes, then fine-tuned the motors with the app. Worked flawlessly. Looking forward to more production work. Happy with my choice.

This really is a great piece of gear at this price. Even with a heavy camera setup if you balance it correctly.Using a sony a6400 in a cage with a heavy phone on top and a heavy lens out front it is still amazing. Definitely take your time in the balancing step. Slow process the first few times as i had never used a gimbal. But after the learning curve i can rebalance it in seconds if i need to when i change lenses etc. Get one! You will not be disappointed and have so much fun getting creative with this thing!

I have fallen in love with this gimbal! I have been in the video world for almost 20 years. I was buying stabilizers back in the day that were terrible for more money. I am honestly shocked at what they sell these for with all of the technology and things you can do with it! DJI makes great stuff! Love having the phone app and being able to control it. They setup system is intuitive if you want it to be. It’s nice being to run balance tests on the phone to make sure you have it where you need it. I have used it on several shoots and I honestly never want to take the camera off of it.

It did not work for my Canon R5 with RF 24-70. The total wait should be supported but size-wise it did not work well.Also balancing the camera is hassles because the same nub is used to tighten the plate on the gimbal and tilt axis.

It's a good quality product, built with professional-grade materials. Once you get balanced it works well. I'd give it like a 9 out 10 in terms of stabilization.We have owned a lot of DJI gear over the last 6+ years and the main issue we have with them is their instructions and software. They often undermine their own hardware with bad instructions and bad software. In the case of the Ronin, I wasted a lot of time trying to get balanced because they failed to mention an important step. This step is not mentioned in their tutorial videos and is not indicated in their setup software. They tend to leave out small details that end up wasting time and causing frustration. They do it constantly.

Works well with my Nikon 6II
