How To Setup & Balance The DJI Ronin RS 3 Pro 

Glad it helped!

Awesome news. Glad this video helped to get your camera in and running. -Brett (the guy in the video) 👍

Bluetooth on your camera is only for tethering with smart devices, You would have to physically connect the camera to the gimble via HDMI and USB to be able to control the camera! Hope this helps!

Certain payloads will restrict the full movement of the gimble, stick within the boundaries and you should be fine!

Ha! Good eye. Yes that is correct. I certainly enjoyed my time with Zhiyun that’s for sure.

Probably your best bet would be to pair your gimbal to your camera via bluetooth. Once connected, transmission and handles should allow you to start and stop recording. The other way would to be to connect the Sony Multi cable (looks like micro usb) to your camera and then the USB-C end into the RSS port (top most port on the gimbal. Make sure on your camera that 'Smartphone Control' is set to off and the 'PC Remote' is set to On and usb.

Depends, every time you change the weight of the payload like switching lenses or adding filters you need to perform balancing.

Sorry to hear that, sounds like an RMA issue!

Hello @snapperpaul3, the 1DX Mark II is a compatible camera. What lens are you working with? Because the 1DX is a taller camera, you must first find the center of balance of the payload. Keep in mind that this is sometimes closer to the lens mount. Brett demonstrates this step at the 7:00-minute mark.

I’m working with the 24-105 f4 L

Great lens! We recommend following the step by step guide from the manufacturer. dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_RS_3/DJI_RS_3_User_Manual_v1.0_en.pdf

Hi there! For starter, thanks for taking the time to watch the video. I’ve worked extensively with Zhiyun in the past and their products. The Crane 2 was a fantastic gimbal, especially for the price point. Since the release of that product though, there have been pretty significant upgrades to gimbals in general and the DJI RS3 Pro is no exception. In terms of performance and features, it is a class leading product. The motor strength and stability is excellent so that issue of micro jitters is pretty much a thing of the past. The RS3 Pro is significantly more portable than the Crane 2. The Z-Axis bounce is something inherent to all 3 axis gimbals. While there are accessories designed to mitigate that problem, Z-Axis bounce is something that generally requires technique and some post production editing to clean it up. If I were in your shoes and it were my decision, I would definitely upgrade. The RS3 Pro is good enough to last 4-6 years and deliver top results that whole time. Samy’s should have plenty in stock if your considering buying one. Let me know if you have any more questions! All the best -Brett

@@Infosmercial Wow thanks, Brett. I am mainly just after a dumb gimbal that can do well in my walking videos on my channel. Do you think the deadband problem on the RS3 will ever be fixed? I need a lot of deadband because I naturally twitch my hands while walking in my videos. For my videos, although the Crane 2 is pretty outdated, it still does an excellent job at absorbing my hand twitches with its deadband forgiveness. The main thing that bothers me with the Crane 2 is that it still has micro jitter isssues -- it would be the perfect gimbal for me if it was more smooth and somehow absorbed the Z-Axis movement (aka bounces). I am worried even though the RS3 is much more technologically advaned, it will be a step back with regards to raw stabilization performance and deadband like I mentioned above.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful, Brett is amazing. We look forward to teaming up with DJI to bring you more great videos like this in the future!

For using your camera with Raveneye, you will only be able to start/stop recording and control the digital zoom of your camera. You should use the included Multi cable (looks like micro usb). If you use a USB-C to USB-C cable for connecting, it generally won't work. Let me know if this helps or not. Cheers!

@@DJIBrett I've gone Ghetto with it lol, I got most of what I need working with just connecting via Bluetooth and since I'm a total noob its a good starting point. I've been saving towards a Sony A1 but just saw that the Sony A7s4 is about to make its introduction so maybe I'll go that route and save a dollar or two and then be able to use all of my gimbals features. Cheers

Life is great, nice aerials!

Glad you liked it!

This is the only set of instructions I could find on DJI's website regarding setup with the Canon 5D IV camera and Multi-Camera Control Cable (Micro-USB) 1.Make sure to switch to photo mode to take photos and to video mode to record videos. 2.When using focus pull, switch the lens focus mode to AF (Autofocus) and turn off the AF servo of the camera. 3.For some Canon cameras, their screen does not display images when using HDMI (such as connecting to a monitor or RavenEye). To display the live view on the camera screen, set the HDMI output of the camera to Camera Screen + HDMI Monitor. Note that this is only supported on some camera models.

thanks for the update, i got it to work somehow, i guess it didn't like the initial plug in, since that day i updated to the r5c, so no cable for the trigger now :)@@SamysCameraOfficial
