Questions & Answers

George M : Will this work with a camcorder?
TERRENCE P : Will it support  Nikon D4s or D5?
MIKE M : Does it control zoom for cameras with power zooms?Lane A : It does have that feature, but personally, I don't use it as I work with a non-DSLR camera. I prefer using wide angle lenses with the Ronin-S, like a 12mm on a 4/3rds camera.

Still a Great Gimbal!

This thing is perfect for my Sony A7iii. It's beefy, robust, but still manageable. I love the fact that it is easy to get into a low mode by holding the trigger and that the back of the screen is not blocked by a motor like some other gimbals.

One of the best

The ronin is one of the best stabilizers in the market. Once you get the hang of it it's really easy to use.

Buttery Smooth Stablisation

This thing wowed me right out of the box. Super easy to set up especially when compared to counter-weighted glidecams; I love how it inverts for low shots. My favorite thing about it is the focus wheel which only needed a female USB C to male USB Mini (B-3) adapter to work with my Canon 5D Mark III running Magic Lantern. I think it also works on stock firmware 1.3.5 as well if you don't want to fiddle around with that.

Nice and hefty build

This is an extremely well made and well designed gimbal. Take the time to learn how to tweak it properly and you’ll be off and running in no time. Practice makes perfect! However, once balanced, this unit works pretty darn well right out of the box. Do note however that this thing is heavy! I have a 24-70/2.8 which I want to use on it, and although the gimbal can handle it, the whole package is indeed weighty. It’s got me thinking about picking up an f/4 just to ease the weight. Anyhow, it works great, and I’d buy it again.

Smooth shots, great for run and gun

The DJI Ronin-S is a great tool for on-the-go steady shots. It packs up and transports easily and provides great stability even with heavy lenses. It can get a bit heavy holding it for long periods of time, since it does not have any sort of body harness, and it can be tricky to find a comfortable "resting" position without putting it down on the ground. But overall, it's a great product that provides smooth shooting without massive rigs.

I never thought I would buy this

This is my first gimbal for full-size DSLRs or mirrorless cameras. I never thought that I would buy one as I do more still shooting than video. I am impressed with how easy it is to use. I was fortunate to try it out at WPPI and was immediately sold. It also helped that Adorama had a killer special on the Ronin-S at the time. I have only used the Ronin-S a couple of times but already have realized just how good it is. Balancing the camera gets easier with each use. Using the Follow mode is a tricky and time-consuming balancing act with a cell phone mounted on top of the camera. The app makes setup and operation easy, especially with the latest firmware update that adds creative modes that are necessary. I also found that the Focus Knob is fully functional with my 5DM4 which is especially nice to use with the 4K monitor. I also added the Switch Grip Dual Handles and the monitor mount. The handles are fully adjustable in width and can be mounted above or below the rails. There are three NATO Rail mounting locations on the collar for a single handle, both handles plus a monitor, or any combination. The only negative is that the monitor bracket is too short. Fortunately, my monitor came with its own bracket that when added to the Ronin bracket makes it just right. Now, I am happy that I did buy it!

Takes a minute to learn

This is a pretty large and complex machine. Being new to gimbals I am a little overwhelmed but thankfully there's a lot on youtube about setting it up and connecting it to a camera.

Good/ not great.

A little laggy with panasonic gh5s/ sigma. When you're making dramatic moves it has to over correct, so you have to start slowing down your pans ahead to make up for the lack of power in the motor. Still a great gimbal, but would recommend something with more power if using a heavier camera/lens setup.

High Quality, low Budget

This is an absolute upgrade from handheld footage! The product is easy to use once balanced and set up. I really like the free app that it works with for wireless controlling and for presets and special features. Great product at a great price. I highly recommend checking compatibility with your camera before purchasing.

So far it's excellant!

I just got my DJI Ronin-S about a week ago, so I haven't had the time to give it a full test, but so far I love it! I plan on using it with my Canon 5DMIV, but I was busy with that camera so I attached my Canon 5DMIII just to check out the balancing, weight, and overall responsiveness and so far I am very impressed! It is a little heavy with a 5DMIII on it, but not so heavy that it is an issue. The one complaint that I do have is that it included all the cables except the one for the 5DMIII, so I had to buy an adaptor. I am very anxious to try it with my 5DMIV, which is much better for video than the 5DMIII. Something else to consider is that, even when connected (5DMIV) with the proper cable, apparently the focus wheel on the Ronin-S is not compatible with Canon cameras (yet), so it's important that the camera has autofocus (which the 5DMIV has). From watching a few product reviews on YouTube I learned that at this point the focus wheel on the Ronin-S only works with Panasonic cameras, but integration with Canon (and others) is on the horizon (hopefully). I am really excited to have purchased this and am looking forward to producing very high quality video with it!

By Mitul P.

Anyone giving this Gimbal anything less than 5 stars probably used it for 15 minutes, gave up, and called it the worst thing ever. They didn't bother to update firmware, or maybe they're simply too impatient to wait. Anyone complaining about the record button or the follow focus not working on their cameras need to take a fat chill pill. press record on your camera for the time being and simply maintain the same distance while on manual for now while your updates come.

New Sport Mode allows you to capture fast-moving scenes instantly.

Professional Stability for Every Destination.

Portable. Versatile. Ergonomic.

The ergonomic design of the Ronin-S frees unwanted shake when shifting from underslung to an upright position in one smooth take. The detachable design offers numerous usage scenarios. Mount it to an RC buggy for low-to-the-ground tracking shots or let it act as a stabilized remote head when attached to a jib. This detachment feature also makes it more convenient for easy storage.

Innovative Design.

The Ronin-S's innovative framework elevates camera payload above the roll axis, making the camera's built-in display obstruction free and always in your line of sight. In addition to providing an unobstructed view, the angled roll motor allows for more space to balance bulkier setups.
