That amazing RF 24-105 2.8's was back in stock with B&H Photo so I picked one up! Love the lens but it won't balance on my old RS2 Pro. Hopefully, it will work with the new RS4 Pro. Powerbank solution for the R5C's Thirst! rb.gy/n2yd4l
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.
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.
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 🫠
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
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!
@@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!!
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.
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.
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?
