IT’S FINALLY HERE!!! Tilta Advanced Ring Grip for RS 2 

Glad to help out! If there's anything you want to see in the next video let me know. Might be able to include it in the next one ;)

It will receive power without the battery. As long as the ring is powered by the DJI battery or a v-mount via the plate the handles will turn on. I didn’t know it at the time but the battery option is for use without the ring.

Thank you for letting me know. I'm rocking the GDU side handle with 15mm rods and that's a decent option so far. Having something that I can remove more easily would be great.

Glad to help💪

Leuk om te horen bedankt! En leuk om wat fellow Dutchies te zien hier op het kanaal ;)

@@PeterBaerveldt ja ik was opzoek naar een alternatief/ring mount om de dji rs2 op te monteren ^^ Soms een beetje vermoeiend en onhandig om alles met de standaard grip te doen vooral als je hogere shots uit de hand wil maken. Deze van Tilta ziet er heel interessant uit alleen en is volgens mij zover ik heb kunnen zien ook een van de enige opties momenteel. Hoop alleen dat hij snel wat beter beschikbaar zal worden 😅 Ik had eerst mij twijfels of je nederlands was ik hoorde wel iets, daarna de shots met nl kentekens en de "later" bevestigde het wel 😆

Ja absoluut! Ik vind het heel prettig werken. BMPCC6k Pro is ook echt een top optie voor deze setup. Komodo uiteraard ook maar het prijspunt van Komodo en om deze draaiende te houden ligt wel een stuk hoger dan met de BMPCC6k Pro

I hope that the ring arrives soon! You're going to like it :)

Glad to be of help

It sucks so much that everyone has to wait so insanely long. When I ordered in november I was exited to start using it in December/januari and well.. we all know how that turned out..

Yes I can do that for sure. I’ll add it to the list. Thank you for the suggestion. Appreciate that🔥🎥

@@PeterBaerveldt that would be the best… lot of people having battery issues with bmpcc 6k when it comes to mount on gimbal. I am waley able to mount v mount on my gimbal but then I am not able to mount monitor… So some right suggest would really help me

Yeah it's insane that they still haven't caught up. All the shortages right now don't help either. I'm wondering if tilta regrets releasing this so soon. Might have been better (for everyone) to wait a little while longer.

I've lost both so far. At first I did put it back (mine didn't brake) but as the came loose I've now lost them on a production I think. It's not great but I just use it without the joystick. I don't use the sticks much anyways so it's not a huge problem for me right now.

@@PeterBaerveldt The problem for me is now that it drifts to the left after the joystick breaks, so as soon as I start the rig the camera start spinning :(

I can definitely do that. I'll write it down💪

Depends on what you’re filming with! The komodo, vespids and a monitor i run for about 10 minutes before i really want to put it down. I does get heavy at some point for sure. but the ring is carbon fiber so to me it does not add any significant weight. However this thing weighs nothing in comparison to my movi + raven setup (which was horrible to run&gun all day). The twist grip does look amazing. Very compact.

@@PeterBaerveldt Makes sense! Typically filming with an a7siii and a monitor, so probably just shy of what you're using weight-wise. How does the RS2+ring do with roll movements (like slowly turning the horizon) compared to the movi? Sorry for the million questions

Thank you! Appreciate that. The nucleus nano comes with a cable for the RS2. It offers enough power (for me) and my sigma cine's and DZO vespids. I indeed don't think it's 12v but it's enough for me in therms of strength

Also, how did you paired rs2 and the nucleus?

Hi! Thank you for the compliment! These DZOfilm vespid primes have the focus rings already on the lens. Most cinema lenses do. That's one of many reasons why I love the vespids so much when it comes to operating. Apart from the excellen lens quality of course. How ever, what I did when using a photo prime was the following: I picked the lens with the widest outer diameter, put the ring on there and cut off the rest of the ring that I wasn't using. It makes it way less long and way more useable ;)

What? That sound like a production fault. Reach out to Tilta and send some pictures along with it. Just don't try to force anything.. you might break something.

It should work! When I get my RS3 Pro in from DJI I'll try it straight away and make a video about it.

Luckily we spoke on Insta and you found the problem. if manufacturers would ship you non-broken products straight away right?

Yes you can! Most v-mount batteries have a D-tap out so you can use that. A v-mount battery powers both the gimbal and camera just fine.

No it doesn't unfortunately. You'll need to buy those separate

I'll do a video on that soon. I want to make a video explaining just that. Otherwise these video's get way too long haha.

Hey man, I am curious if you have had any issues with setting up the tilta float so it works as advertised? I seen 1 or 2 people return it because they never could get it to work as advertised. Appreciate any feedback!

@@mikemuponda1781 Hi, I did not have any problems with Tilta Float. But, you need a little time and practice to get used to it!!

@@playaofficial awesome! Thanks for the response, really appreciate it 👌

The newly added cross bracket on my Float broke (became loose to the point of no longer tightening) immediately within 30 minutes during the first setup. Haven't been able to use it since, and Tilta keeps promising to have a higher up get back to me, but nobody offers a simple replacement part or any solution. Not to mention they still haven't shipped the revised suction cups for the Hydra Alien. One of the original cups broke within the first day, they admitted it was an issue, then promised revised cups were being sent out to affected customers. It's been several months, I was fortunately/unfortunately in the first batch of shipments. Such a bummer how they rushed out all these RS2 ecosystem products without proper stress testing, and it's just salt in the wound that they won't help.

It’s a separate purchase unfortunately. I feel like it should have come with the ring..

Hey! It's quite simple actually: Put the handle to T.F than match the motor channel with the handle and it should work for focus! I would need a R/S cable for recording but that depends on the camera. Might cover that in a future video. I have the M as well but I just don't use it for the RS2/rs3. Just to clarify: I never tried. I know that it works that way as N/M work in the same way when it comes to connecting to a focus wheel and/or handle.

Well yes and no, the RS2 and rs3 pro keep de camera automatically level so yes it's straight but no I don't heave to do it manually ;)

I bought it straight from tilta. Maar omdat je uit Nederland komt zou ik contact opnemen met Socrates. Ze zijn NL dealer voor Tilta en super aardig en behulpzaam.

I've been wondering about that as well. When using two motors i use the Nucleus M most of the time as I can chain them. I didn't try it with the Nano's up to this point (exclusively use primes on the RS2) so I can't say for sure. I'll write it down and see if I can make it work on the ring. If I do I'll post a video about it.

@@PeterBaerveldt I spoke to Tilta support and they said it's not possible, which is a shame because the page for the dual channel wireless lens control module on their site definitely makes it seem like it should work. So I had to pair one motor to the lens control handle and one to the remote control handle, also a shame since the remote handle needs to share that dial with iris control to my pocket 4k. So you have to flip a switch on the handle and mess up motor positioning every time you want to change iris. They say "dual channel" so maybe they could update the handle to actually transmit over two channels instead of controlling two motors on one channel. If only nucleus M motors weren't double the price...

That's bad to happen for you. Both controllers paired automatically once I did the initial pairing process in my case. I think something went wrong in your case. Might want to try again and power on both handles when pairing. Otherwise I suggest you get in contact with Tilta. Might be a faulty handle.

Having the some issue with the second hand

Didn't check actually so many thanks for asking because if the handles are attached to the ring the will work without the 18650 battery! Which is quite nice. I've just checked and it works with both the v-mount and if you were to just use the battery from the RS 2.

@@PeterBaerveldt Also if your using a vmount you can remove the top handle. I removed mine so i can attach my easy rig and it works just fine. 😉

Yes, quite nice that You can use it with just a v-mount right?! What do you think of the ring so far?

@@PeterBaerveldt so far its amazing, it adds tremendous value!

@@steviedphotos Is there a tilta manual for the ring? I am having an issue with keeping the RS2 stablized, it is wandering off axis and hope to understand what I need to do to address this issue. Thx

Hey, The Easy rig minimax can so i guess the flycam flow line should as well. Don't have one so can't test it for you.

Hey, yes it does!

Never heard of this happening before however the way you describe it is could be a power shortage which could mean that the gimbal is fried and that could be the reason why it isn't working anymore. Sorry this happend to you! Hopefully you can figure out what happend and make sure that it get fixed.

Yes true, that because in the m2 and m3 presets it follows your movement with some delay to make it smooth as possible. It’s something you need to get used to. I have this all the as well but now i now how much panning and tilting in the opposite direction will get it back to were it need to be. The re-center is something you’ll use a lot haha.

true , rig not working accurately and the connection gimbal and ring are not safe and shake.

For focus pulling you can use the focus wheel that comes with the nucleus Nano kit. Works for me when I need it and if you have it you don't need to buy anything.

@@PeterBaerveldt Thank you. But for those without the Nucleus you have to buy extra handles. Tilta actually replied to my email blaming themself for not having the Basic Handles for sale separately from the Basic Grip Ring pack. So theres that. They did however offer to sell me a pair. But you can't find them in any stores.

Hi! Switching the handle should work better with the ready rig for sure. Interested to know how you experience that combo. About your question: the splitter is the ZITAY D-Tap Splitter 4 port. There are many alternatives but I wanted the 4/20 screw to mount it to the gimbal neatly.

Hey man I've seen some reviews saying that the RS2 doesn't actually fully install to the ring completely play free no matter how much you try to tighten it, can you confirm please? Thanks

Yes it does. Had to find that out the hard way. I don't now why but the ring will continue to draw power from the battery. I now always remove it when not in use. If you have the v-mount or gold mount plate it's the same so be aware of that

I use the provided cables that come with the Nano kit. For me it works just fine it seems! Had the same question so I asked Tilta and they said that their cables work and so far they work :)

No it does not, it only powers the ring, rs2 and the accessories i've attached to it.

@@PeterBaerveldt Hi, do you have problem with V-Mount plate at the beginning? My plate doesn't work. I will be grateful for your response 🙂

In theory you can hold it upside down and use it that way. It's just less convenient I think.

I don't, it's wireless with the Tilta Wireless Control Receiver Module. I connect the nano with a cable to my komodo for Run/Stop. which is called tilta nucleus nano R/S cable for komodo

Well, I didn't, however today I'll release a video explaining how to fix it and what you need to set it all up. Because I do have a record button now on the Ring :)

Can you please send me all the links to what you’ve bought?

No case honestly. I put the ring in my Easy rig bag for transport and the RS2 in my bag or camera case. And very often I just take the whole gimbal with me without anything covering it.

Yes, unfortunately You can't use the RSC 2 with the Ring because of the non removable battery.

Yes they finally do! It's insane right? I set my alarm for the release back in November and ordered it as soon as the page went live (which was even before the official launch time). I'm so happy to have it here. It sucks so many people still have to wait. 6/7 months is way to long for all of us. In any case, let me know if there's anything you would like to see in the future. I really do want to help everyone as much as possible with their questions about the ring.

that would be the 18650 batteries.

Thanks for the answer! Lastly, I can’t find the v mount battery you are using?

Sorry to hear that but understandable, the ring should improve performance for you. Not make it worse! Personally with the ring i'm more stable than with the pistol grip. the fully build out Komodo setup is way off balance in a pistol grip setup to operate properly for me. But like always, it comes down to personal preference.

Experiencing the same issues. The carbon fiber feels like it has a ton of bounce in it. Completely unusable footage for setups on the heavier side of the RS2 max payload.

@@nnylfsivart yeh man …. I believe this because it’s the gimbal is not hanging like the ronin m, ronin 2 or movis. The bounce is real…. Way too much.

@@nnylfsivart what camera are you using?

@@rMr.big13 P4K/P6K with Nucleus M. Honestly, I’ve never been impressed with the RS2 anyways...my Ronin S was smoother. The RS2 micro jitters are real.

He probably used a single rod on the Ready Rig. I use a single rod on the Ready Rig all the time when I have a setup like that and it is not too heavy.

Hey I did indeed. I own and use both so I must have misspoke. I've tried the EasyRig and it works. I'll try the ready rig as well. But I do think the easyrig will be my preference due to it's flexibility.

Yes, I was thinking about doing that @high desert Entertainment. I have the spindles for a dual setup but I also feel like that restricts my movement a bit to much. A single rod setup would help with the flexibility. What has your preference actually?

@@PeterBaerveldt I only corrected you because I’d want to see how the set up was with the ready rig. But with the easy rig I can imagine how it is. No my personal favourite for gimbal use (easy rig).

@@PeterBaerveldt I personal feel that the easy rig restricts your movements in terms if you want to achieve roll rotations and “pans” whilst moving the gimbal. Never tried the ready rig but some of my gimbal operators do have it. Since I want to purchase the advanced ring, was thinking of the the ready rig for heavier setups like yours, but with a Mattebox and possible two focus motors depending if I do use zoom lenses. I do love the easy ring when the gimbal is used in single hand mode it does help a lot and sure for handled shots. If you ever do use the ready rig if possible drop a picture on Tilta Dji RS2 facebook group. I’d love to see it. Anyway keep going 👌🏾👌🏾

😉

Sorry to hear that.. I've checked and there's nothing wrong with my video. Maybe it's the youtube compression? Try watching it on 4k or check it on a second device maybe that helps.

@@PeterBaerveldt nah there’s definitely some interference on your end my guy. If you’re using lav’s, check your cables or maybe placement. If you listen closely, you’ll hear it.

@@PeterBaerveldt 1:14-1:22 you can hear it clear as day

@@rhodoliteproductions8344It’s quite minor but I hear what you mean. I’ll see what I can do to improve this. It’s nothing I can’t live with for RU-vid but if it isn’t there it would be better haha.
