A Workhorse, handles all environments easily

We used this gimbal for the last 3 years and put it through insane situations, our company films outdoor gear and so we are shooting in the rain, snow, mud, etc. This gimbal has handled all of it. We have a RED Epic W on it, have used it hanging out of helicopters, on cable cams. It's our favorite piece of DJI gear ever. It even powers the RED for about 2-3 hours off the onboard batteries. Amazing.

Excellent product!!!

Lastly, you get a DJI remote control for a second operator (although I never use that either).How well does it work?Battery life is amazing. I recently used this gimbal for a full wedding day shoot. It was used throughout the course of 12 hours and still had one bar left on the battery. The key here is to use the iPhone app, make sure you've got your camera balanced correctly, and make sure your power draw is minimal when the device is at rest.Balancing is easy. Balancing for the first time will probably take about 20 minutes. After that it's a very quick process. I also use a Manfrotto quick release plate, so I can easily slide my cameras off and on to the Gimbal without requiring any rebalance.Weight. Yes, as others have noted, it gets heavy. I can't really justify reducing the rating to due weight though. The weight is clear in the Gimbal's specs, so you know what you're buying. That said, I did not have any problems using this gimbal for a full day. I would shoot for about 2-5 minutes, set it down, change shots, shoot again, etc.Smoothness. While I can't compare to any of the other 3-axis gimbals out there, I can say that I am EXTREMELY impressed and satisfied with the smooth shots I'm getting from this device. With my style of run-and-gun event videography, shooting with a second operator isn't really an option. It's also not necessary because the adjustable Smoothtrack settings really deliver some cinematic shots.Recommendation: This device combined with a Canon 7D Mark II or a C100, is a match made in heaven. The continuous autofocus from these cameras works great on a gimbal. I can get a wide shot and then walk in, rotate around my subject, and then pull back out while maintaining a smooth cinematic look and a shallow depth of field.

Product is top notch for visuals, however if you aim ever to on capture close-up shots in quiet interior locations then please beware - the Ronin isn't silent. I doubt you'll won't read the following in any of DJI's literature on the Ronin, I know I didn't, I received my first Ronin and immediately noticed a loud hum emanating from its motors and immediately sent it back. My replacement Ronin suffered from precisely the same problem. Sent it to DJI for repair and they replied that there was nothing wrong with it, sent the usual comments about how I must be balancing it incorrectly - I explained I've spent days/weeks/months reading and studying and balancing the rig correctly.

Regardless of your stiffness level, camera weight, or balance accuracy, there will always be a certain small level of noise. I was unable to return my second Ronin to B&H (owing to my departure the day after the second Ronin arrived to a remote corner of Uganda to shoot a 30+ day documentary). DJI will take no responsibility for their failure to mention anything about this base level of operating noise - if someone will please point me to where DJI announces or admits this base level of operating noise I would appreciate it. And it is no small level level of noise. If you have the rig close to the action in a quiet scene then your Ronin noise will be all over everything, everything. But other than that the unit works great.

Great purchase for professionals
13 April 2016

If you've ever operated Stedicam, switching to these 3-axis gimbals are so easy. It usually takes hours to get dynamic balance with a stedicam. With Ronin, it's about 5-10 minutes. Once you have it balanced, you can change out lenses and make a couple simple adjustments and you have it rebalanced in a matter of a few minutes. The shots you can get with this tool are worth the price. The downside to this is (which is really minor) is needing an iPhone or tablet with the DJI software to re-calibrate the system in the field. Not a big deal though. Almost everyone has a phone on them that can download and use the software. Really worth the buy. I've operated cameras from Blackmagic Cinema 2.5K up to RED Epic with slim V-Mount batteries mounted on the side, remote follow ... MoreIf you've ever operated Stedicam, switching to these 3-axis gimbals are so easy.

When shooting with a camera set up like RED with heavier weight, you will want to rent or purchase some type of support system like Easyrig to help with the weight.

So this is my first jump into the world of gimbals. I own a Glidecam HD-4000 and had trouble calibrating it with my Blackmagic Production Camera. Even with my Canon 5D Mark III, I still had some issues with calibration...With the Ronin, you get it close to perfect, and then the software in your iOS app (or on your PC if you don't own an iOS device) does some minor tweaks to optimize it. With a 20 minute setup and calibrating, I was out shooting insane shots...things that would be impossible to get on my Glidecam. Low to the ground shots...sweeping motion over objects...running with it and it's pretty darn smooth.The case it comes in is amazing! Great quality, lazered out foam is beautiful (although I had a little bit of red dust on some of my components). Love the ... MoreSo this is my first jump into the world of gimbals.

Great quality, lazered out foam is beautiful (although I had a little bit of red dust on some of my components). Love the fact that you get spots for 3 additional batteries. Very nice!I have to say, it's a BEAST of a gimbal to be able to do what it's doing...Very robust!Downsides? Of course there will be some.1) Rig itself is pretty beefy to hold the 16lbs it says it can hold, which is a good thing, but bad thing for heavy cameras. Wish it was less than 9lbs and more carbon fiber to reduce weight, but increase weight limit.2) With my Blackmagic Production Camera, Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II lens, external Switronix battery, and Atomos Samurai Blade, I'm holding around 20lbs, so people with accessories and heavy camera equipment won't like working with this too long.3) Unlike a Glidecam where you can put the gear down when you get tired (or rest it on your belt like I do), you can't do this with the Ronin. Due to the gimbal on the bottom, you can't simply lay it down as you risk damaging components. So it's either, you need an extra set of hands to relieve you, or you need to pack the stand with you so you can put it down...or both!4) Wish the case it comes in was smaller. But it does have plenty of space for accessories (just no camera or lens...)All in all, I'm VERY happy with my purchase. The shots you can get on this rig out of the box is simply astounding and i HIGHLY recommend this! BUT don't sell your Glidecam just yet...you'll still want it around when your back gives out like mine did after filming for an hour...

Handle will fail on all DJI Ronin and Ronin M units!
7 November 2015

Keep in mind that the handles are plastic all three of them, normal regular weak plastic, not composite plastic like a gun it's just plain weak plastic. Me you and everybody have been thinking that since the top bar is made of carbon fiber that the handles are as well but they are not. The metal collets at the top of each handle, (which are tightened down too much at the factory) which cracks the two plastic tabs. At the bottom of each handle are two more tabs that are holding on a useless but great looking DJI cap that does nothing to support the weight.. So the top handle is 2 pre-cracked tabs away from you watching your hard earned or rented camera fly across the room and crash destroying your livelihood or costing you a big deductible. So upon loading up a 9lbs ... MoreKeep in mind that the handles are plastic all three of them, normal regular weak plastic, not composite plastic like a gun it's just plain weak plastic.

So upon loading up a 9lbs $9k camera setup when you pick up the unit since the side handles are at an angle you get the 2 metal stubs that the handle collets mount to press upon the side wall of the plastic and cause cracks then the handle fails and falls off in the middle, and like some cartoon your standing there with half a handle in your hand stunned because DJI couldn't design three handles and make them out of the correct materials. Also as a note if you thinking ah well I'll just get a set of replacement handles for the cheap price of only $, you will be in the same boat, ALL HANDLES are FAULTY!! RONIN M, RONIN ALL OF THEM!!Please share this around and tell your friends, I was lucky. I'm hoping no one ruins their gear because of this sub-standard handle issue.I will keep everyone advised of the recall or you can contact DJI directly.

Hands down, one of the best purchases I have ever made.
7 December 2016

What's not to like about the Ronin? I am a seasoned wedding and commercial videographer out of NJ. I have a canon c100 mark ii and use the Ronin primarily for the dances during the reception as well as various parts throughout the day. The Ronin allows me to get creative shots that I wouldn't be able to get otherwise. I used to use the glidecam HD2000 with a Canon 5d mark iii and the Ronin blows that out of the water. The stability is 10 fold to the glidecam. The only downside to the Ronin is the weight. It is not a big deal though because I'm usually only shooting with it for a few minutes at a time and get plenty of rest between uses. I chose the Ronin over the Ronin M, because I plan on using a follow focus, matte box, etc. I would highly recommend the Ronin to ... MoreWhat's not to like about the Ronin?

Provides smooth shots, but not made for DSLRs
23 June 2015

Ronin provides great smooth cinematic shots, but if you're using a DSLR for this then you will have problems mounting follow focus.The camera and lens is still very light weight, so you have to put the camera very far back on the baseplate. Due to the design of the Ronin, the lens won't hang over the 15mm rods if its too far back. So, the motors for follow focus can't reach the lens. FYI: I used cinegears wireless follow focus and Contax Zeiss primes (So, if you use a cinema lens you may be okay with using DSLR, but using still lenses you may not.)I tried using a high riser@but that throws off the center of gravity and its impossible to balance. In the process of purchasing a low riser, but I'm afraid the follow focus will hit the baseplate and it won't,Other option ... MoreRonin provides great smooth cinematic shots, but if you're using a DSLR for this then you will have problems mounting follow focus.The camera and lens is still very light weight, so you have to put the camera very far back on the baseplate.

It constantly crashed and freezes. I'm on an Android, so I don't know if IOS has better experience.I've heard people had bad sound issues with the Ronin, but if you adjust the stiffness of the motors that reduces the noise greatly and I've never had any problems.Overall. If you have a heavier camera like RED, FS700, F55, you should be fine, but this rig isn't designed for the light weight cameras.

THE BEST GIMBAL EVER (it's been updated)
18 August 2016

Okay so, I purchased a Movi M5 and returned after just 1 day. The Movi test shot was smooth but with my G-d given creativity, I wanted to be able to do so much more. So i research every image I could find / youtube videos to get it just right. From the looks it, the ONLY Movi, worth buying is the M15 (because it has that second battery housing, I am not even sure if you need both at the same time for the gimbal to work. But let's go back to the RONIN and why I like it. For a 5D3 I added the ultra cage gimbal kit, purchased the follow focus kit. And this housing is so solid and lightweight, I haven't even turned the gimbal on yet to be honest and I am already writing this review.

Set up was easy because i spent a day with the Movi and understand the concept (first time gimbal used by the way) Yes the RONIN has a lot more moving parts, and which is what was scaring me about all of the reviews I would see on YouTube. BUT that is exactly why I love it. The DJI RONIN, can be customized to YOU. All in all I spent Just over $5,000 fully loaded. The reason I didn't turn it on yet is because I am waiting for my 701lite and that's it. Oh and wireless controller. But really just the monitor. Because I want the full affect when I turn it ON. I just really wanted to say, how durable this is, and yes I saw videos on YouTube of the older models and the way I know RONIN did do an upgrade. Just look at my handle. They extended it down because people were complaining about it breaking. But they took care of that :). BUY ONE. The battery is so much bigger then the Movi M5 and I see why they call is SMART. The gimbal can power the micro remote unlike the Movi. Yes it's 4lbs heavier then the Movi 15, but i am also,Not using a heavy camera like most Movi 15 users do. So for me, the added weight balances out with my light 5D3 rigged out. It's like an M3

lots of kinks and quirks

This gimbal is pretty robust and reliable if you know how to work around its issues. I use this with my FS5. By the way, the people that complain about noise apparently did not bother to balance the rig thoroughly. You have to balance correctly even if there is a auto-calibrate feature (sometimes I can get away with switching lenses without balancing). And you have to make sure there are no moving parts on the rig (except wires), that's important. When I have this balanced perfectly the only way I can hear it is if I put my ear right next to the motors. If you put it in quiet mode I cannot hear anything at all. If there is constant loud noise then obviously you did something wrong. There a lot of flexibility with speed and acceleration and deadpan options on all 3 ... MoreThis gimbal is pretty robust and reliable if you know how to work around its issues.

If there is constant loud noise then obviously you did something wrong. There a lot of flexibility with speed and acceleration and deadpan options on all 3 axis and I think the amount of control is excellent. I realize now some of the demos you see on youtube are shot with these options set at weird levels which makes the gimbal look bad. So take those demos with a grain of salt. One problem is that even when you have the z rotation fixed, it tends to drift over time. It can result in all your shots becoming dutch angles. I fixed this by setting the z not at fixed but to a very low speed/acceleration so I can jerk it to the correct position when it drifts. Be careful not to strain the motor too much or else it'll shut off randomly. So be gentle when transitioning to upside-down mode. This happened first time I used it when I was following the newlyweds into reception which was pretty bad and I was upset. But at least it didn't shut off when walking down the aisle. I don't know about the ios app but the android app is very buggy and the reviews reflect that. But over time you learn what causes those bugs and if you avoid them the app turns out not too bad after all. I shot a wedding with this and it turned out too heavy to hold all day. Might need support. But I did get beautiful shots. Side note: FS5's face tracking does not work when upside-down. Batteries last a good amount of time. I recharged for half in the middle just in case and I was able to shoot on and off for 9 hours never went below 50%.
