DJI Ronin-S Handheld 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer All-in-one Control DSLR Mirrorless

Product Information

Usagi Yojimbo depicts an anthropomorphic rabbit rōnin main character, Miyamoto Usagi, whom Stan Sakai based partially on the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. [ citation needed] During the Edo period, with the shogunate's rigid class system and laws, the number of rōnin greatly increased. Confiscation of fiefs during the rule of the third Tokugawa shōgun Iemitsu resulted in an especially large increase of rōnin. [2] During previous ages, samurai were able to move between masters and even between occupations. They could also marry between classes. However, during the Edo period, samurai were restricted, and were—above all—forbidden to become employed by another master without their previous master's permission. [ citation needed] However, the app also helps you customise the performance of each of the three user preset modes, and opens up a range of creative shooting modes that let you shoot time-lapse, hyper-lapse and motion time-lapse videos, plus panoramic photographs. You can also use it to remotely control the gimbal’s movements, even when someone else is holding the Ronin-S or it’s perched on its tripod.

Stabilization is easily the most essential feature of DJI Ronin products as it allows users to get smooth footage for professional-level results. And while 3-axis stabilization is features on both Ronin gimbals, DJI has improved the stabilization technology for DJI RS 2. The Titan Stabilization Algorithm and SuperSmooth feature offer significant upgrades compared to DJI Ronin-S.The 1961 film Yojimbo tells the story of a rōnin who arrives in a small town where competing crime lords vie for supremacy. The two bosses each try to hire the newcomer as a bodyguard. The film inspired the Spaghetti Western films A Fistful of Dollars and Django, [ citation needed] and spawned the 1962 sequel Sanjuro.

We found that resting the handle extension on a thigh helped relieve the strain during lengthy sessions, but expect your arms to get a nice free workout while you’re shooting. If you’re shooting with heavier cameras, or are planning on mounting accessories such as an external monitor on the gimbal, you might be better off with a two-handed gimbal such as DJI’s own Ronin-M.

At the base of the handle there are two female 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads for additional supports and tripods. An included mini tripod screws into this base, and it's very helpful when rigging your camera. The mini tripod can also act as a second handhold when folded. The folded mini-tripod provides a boom-like extension for overhead shots, low-to-the-ground shots, and generally provides a better handhold than the handle alone. DJI Ronin-S remains a powerful professional-level camera gimbal, but with incredible upgrades like carbon fiber construction, a built-in touchscreen, and added stabilization technologies such as the Titan Stabilization Algorithm and SuperSmooth, DJI RS 2 takes professional filmmaking to a whole new level. If you want the most advanced filmmaking solution for camera stabilizers in this size and price category, DJI RS 2 is an unbeatable choice. It’s a little on the heavy side and isn’t (yet) fully compatible with enough cameras, which does make it something of a niche buy. It certainly isn’t a product that will hugely benefit everyone who occasionally uses their system camera for video, but enthusiasts will adore it – and rightly so. Verdict DJI introduced the Titan Stabilization Algorithm for exceptionally smooth footage on DJI RS 2, and this is a significant improvement compared to DJI Ronin-S. A new gimbal feature that DJI Ronin-S does not support is SuperSmooth, which can be activated for an professional level of smoothness. This feature compensates for micromovements and increases torque to stabilize even 100mm zoom lenses. This means if you are shooting on the move with the camera in different positions, your footage will always stay sharp.

The new RavenEye Image Transmission System of DJI RS 2 gives operators a simplified way to get remote camera viewing and parameter control. This system transmits 1080p video from up to 200 m away with a latency of just 60 ms, letting users focus on getting the perfect shot without worrying about equipment. If you are working on a professional project with a big camera crew, this new DJI RS 2 feature conveniently provides everyone with a clear view of the action. For those not accustomed to working with a stabilization system, the Ronin-S may initially appear daunting, but it can deliver professional looking camera moves with surprisingly little experience. I think most shooters who need this kind of solution for their work are going to look at it as a no-brainer compared to many other options, and with a bit of practice even beginners will be able to get great results.

Tweak a few settings and you can even make the gimbal endlessly roll as you move forward. Take a look at our sample video to see that in action. Fully assembled Ronin-S including gimbal, handle (which houses the battery) and mini-tripod. The detachable tripod collapses to create an extended handle for two-handed support. The standard tripod mount means the Ronin-S’s 3-axis gimbal can accommodate almost all system cameras up to a weight of 3.6kg. It features built-in controls, allowing the user to pull focus and stop/start recording on a handful of compatible cameras. Its accessory mounts support optional add-ons such as microphones, LED lights and external monitors too.
