very interesting video. I have the canon R6 with the 24-105 F4. I just got the weebill 3e which holds this combo .... but I am wondering if it would hold the F2.8 ... not so much for the weight than for the size. Canon has made this F2.8 zoom lens for video, and with the constant size it is perfect for gimbal work .... except that it is so large and front heavy that it is not so practical. As you point out, most reviews of this lens are for photography, and your practical demonstration for gimbal and video is much needed. Would you recommend it for gimbal once you have used it in real scenarios?
The rs4pro handles this set up straight out of the box. My rs2 had too small of arms for this big of a lens. I recently added a small set of weights from smallrig to help offset the weight for the long lens and it now works flawless. Before I would occasionally get warnings depending on what focal length I was at or if I was at an odd position. Now I get none of that.
I’m not sure of the total weight but it gets heavy after a while. Going to pick up the gimbal strap from small rig to help out with that. I don’t hook up the focus motor for zoom as I feel like it makes me tinker around with focal length more often and ruins more shots than it creates.
Thanks for the informative video . I roll with the R5C such a beast of a camera!! quick question does the Bluetooth work where you can do Auto rec? All the best!
Bluetooth doesn’t work I believe the excuse canon gives is because it’s in the cinema camera os. The workaround I’ve found is picking up a Control Cable Type C to N3 for 5D4 5D. This allows me to power the camera through the usbc input and control my camera through this cable and the rs4. I’m going to do a quick video on it. Here’s the link I purchased mine through. www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804762624262.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt
@@nis1002 yes it worked, but i have been creative by adding weights on camera, but still is really heavy. But i am really happy with this 24-105 f2,8 lens, the video is perfect!!
@@musiccreatorNL dang I also bought a r6 mk ii with this lens. I don't think I'd get a gimbal anytime soon since I'm mainly stills atm but will be looking to do video in the future.
It’s been awhile since I’ve watched a balancing tutorial. That also explains why I would balance it horizontal then vertical and then horizontal again 🫠
Appreciate it man! I figured I couldn’t be the only person wondering if this would work out. Since this video I grabbed small rigs weight for DJI gimbals and it has given me more clearance allowing the camera to not have to sit so far back.
I wish I could give you a definitive answer... I don't have an rs3 I replaced my rs2pro with the rs4. When I ordered the rs4 I asked them (B&H photo) if the rs3 could handle this setup. The person I spoke with said it could but that it "didn't Like it" Good Luck!
I haven’t tried it. Mostly because the battery life is so bad I have it rigged up for power so the usbc port on the r5c is sued for power not camera control. Will give it a shot later today and let you know.
Hey I have the rs4 pro and a 24 70 pro lens from Panasonic. I’m running the lumix s52x . So I’m having a problem when I run the auto check gimbal feature it keeps giving me a code it will really help if you can assist . Does it matter if it doesn’t complete the auto check gimbal feature because of the weight??
I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about ha. Is that some feature that calibrates for a specific camera and lens? I feel like I’ve watched so many new gear videos I’m confusing features lol. If it doesn’t auto balance or fails to id. Just check and make sure you’ve got it balanced right in the first place
It shouldn't be that complicated to balance that lens on most gimbals. We've been flying the Fuji MKs on the R5C for years now. You should just add those smallrig (or any brand) counterweights to your camera cage. A couple of those 200g ones and you'll easily move that camera forward and be able to do any move.
Users can also add the FIZ motor to control the zoom on the lens. It is amazing for run and gun solo shooters. I recommend running the gimbal in car mode with micro movements really showing in the longer focal lengths.
I had to upgrade to the new gimbal for the longer arms and I guess I just assumed mounting the gimbal on the lens and making it more centered would push the body too far back and hit the main motor. There's already not much room as is. I have no doubt it would be easier on the motors and easier to balance like you said but I doubt there would be room. That being said once I'm done backing up last night's wedding ill give it a try and report back.
doesn't work, unfortunately. The camera ends up going past the back motor so far you would never be able to get any low shots or really anything past horizontal.
@@tildeathphotofilm thank you for letting know. How are you finding the lens? I’m a photographer looking into doing video shortly. I have the lens but I’m pretty disappointed with it. About of chromatic abrasions, I feel it’s very soft as well compared to the 28-70 f2
@@crxgatorthe only issue I’m finding and it is an annoying one is when adjusting the focal length something strange has happened a couple times with the aperture. It will act like a cheaper zoom lens and the lowest app will raise but still reflect the original setting. This is fixed by raising or lowering and then bringing back to the desired setting. Have you ran into this issue?
