bro thank you so much for this Video I literally have the same camera 6K Pro beautiful camera and the Ronin S and Sigma 18-35 along w two Rokinon Lens I literally gave up tryna put this thing on the ronin s because of its bulky size but after seeing this you gave me hope so imma do it again now thanks again bro subscribed :)
On the actual gimbal itself, I think that’s what the design of it limits itself to - even I can’t slide it all the way, even though there are a few visual increments that makes you think you can slide
@@GimbleProductions thanks mate, I wasn’t sure if some could slide over to the markings on the plate. I’ve played with mine for hours to get it right but can’t. It’s either to heavy left or too heavy rear, I can’t both at the same time. Baffles me watching you did with ease. I’ve tried all 3 different plates I have also.
So as far as I understand from the video, you can balance the bmpcc 6k with the sigma 18-35 on a ronin s without any additional add ons or any parts needed. Just the camera, the lens and the gimbal. Am I right?
Correct - though it can be tricky. Sadly this means slight additional weights can be tricky, like a T5 ssd. Thats why I would shoot using an SD card. Not the most ideal, but its still possible. For my purposes, I don't typically use my gimbal much anyway unless its for a specific shot
Tough to say, it is quite a cumbersome camera and lens setup. I think any extra weight would be pushing it, but I’ve yet to try when new cages are released for the camera . I’m hoping to be able to mount an SSD to this configuration to record
@@GimbleProductions Yes, Im just worried about the size of the gimbal as this seems to be bigger so you can take the camera farther back. Maybe it gets stuck in the RS3 non pro one. The pro one is just too big for my use.
Watch the part when I show the camera why I mount it so far back, there is a bit of room between the camera and rear motor for some slight articulation, but not a lot. Maybe a shorter lens option may give you some extra room
Dang you talk about some interesting topics in the video production industry! We love what you talk about, don't stop. Anytime you're in Arizona hit us up. If you'd like, direct message us @dmakproductions on Instagram and we can connect. You do really great work.
I did 6K Pro with Smallrig cage and Moza Air 2S after several trials, installing IFocus as well. Cage gives you possiblty to screw the camera far to the left on the baseplate.
Currently using this setup for work and it works. Do you have any issues with the motor going into standby mode? Cos with mine once I start to use it, it goes into standby mode within 5 seconds
Hi, if only micro adjustments are required it might be wort trying setting the zoom to mid point for balancing and then let the gimbal motors deal with the slight shifts in CofG as the zoom is used. Sadly I don't have the kit to try it myself! BobUK
Not really. It is a parfocal lens, which means the zoom is housed inside the camera. I have the same lens, but i use the bmpcc4k with a speedbooster. You might need to auto tune it however, but theres no need to change it.
@@GimbleProductions yeah I saw that video! Looks cool but I'm not sure got it'd work in practice since it seems like you have to turn it a lot to get the lens to focus a little
Wonderful! However, I’m struggling with the Canon 16-35 f.2 ii. Do I really need to buy the Sigma, which is a few hundred grams heavier and those grams are what makes or breaks, or is there a tweak around it? It seems the roll becomes the issue because of the need to lock the camera a few mm further forward making it slightly more front heavy, then because I’m unable to balance it enough to the right, it ends being too heavy on the left.
I kinda got it going now. But still, does not look like you did it. You don't have the set up numbers written down by any chance? I mean the scales on the Ronin?
This configuration only works thanks to the far back placement - because the camera is so WIDE, it won’t fit regularly on the gimbal. Maybe there will be a special mounting plate for it, but as it stands, it is very difficult to balance this cam, and more height makes it even MORE difficult
