hi yesterday dji released the brand new ronin rs3 and three pro now i already put out my big
cinematic video so if you haven't seen that already make sure you go check it out after
this video we go super in depth and use it in all sorts of crazy scenarios but immediately
i started getting comments asking for specifics about this setup and so i thought it'd be cool
and fun to kind of break this down and show you how exactly am i rigging out my brand new rs3 pro
so first let's reverse engineer this and tear it down let's probably shoot the thumbnail for this
so first let's start with of course the camera i am shooting on the blackmagic pocket 6k pro i keep
it cageless because it fits better on gimbals it's more nimble and versatile pros and cons to
it but for my use case keeping it pretty naked the only thing i have on top is a condor blue
quick release which we'll get to in a second and instead of using the usb-c cables and ssds angel
bird is an awesome partner of the channel and they always hook me up with some of their latest cfast
memory so right now we're shooting on the one terabyte cfast 2.0 from angel bird of course all
this stuff will be linked down in the description if you want to check it all out for yourself
with the viewfinder built on top and i'm so stoked that this gimbal and everything can still utilize
the battery grip since there's two more batteries in here in addition to the one
so this gives me a lot more battery life now i got a comment on yesterday's video talking about
how someone was experiencing a lot of like wiggle between the battery grip and the body
i personally haven't had that issue at all it's pretty tight fit and it doesn't really come loose
and on the bottom we just have the quick release plate for the gimbal which of course we'll see in
a few minutes the lenses i pretty much exclusively shoot on iric cine lenses this is the 45
a lot of times for the gimbal i use the 15 but we're using that right now and then for audio
my favorite mic of the past like six months or so has been the sennheiser mke 440. it's a stereo mic
it gives a really unique but insanely clear sound and i just i love it so much and this has become
a unstoppable combo again i'm using that condor blue quick release which i'm absolutely in love
with plugged in right there and now we got our camera set up so now the gimbal of course
start with the basic tripod and we have the battery grip i saw for the rs3 they're going
to be selling these individually i hope they also sell these individually for the rs3 pro because
that'd be really nice since this setup with the lidar and the max capacity camera choose through
batteries pretty quickly so if i could have two or three of these that'd be really nice i also
said in my review yesterday but i'm a little sad that it's quarter 20 bigger size of 5 8
or whatever just gives me much better peace of mind and a lot of pro gimbals have that larger
screw on the bottom and then of course we have the gimbal head there's the rs3 pro again
connects titans oh and i forgot to put on one of the biggest things that people asked about so in
yesterday's video a lot of people were asking what battery i mounted on the side here this is the
zhiyun trans mount system it actually came with my crane 3s gimbal years ago and ever since this
has become my top five favorite like camera gear accessories it's almost like a super mini v-mount
battery and so i basically modified unscrewed the phone mount that the gimbal comes with
and i just used the nato rail and then this comes with a little mini v-mount locking tighten that
nano rail right there and now we have a mini v lock battery and this has a usb c in and out
so you charge it with it as well as i can run a cable out which is how i charge the gimbal
while using it and on the back it also has a usb type a two d tap ports so this i run to actually
power the camera if i need to as well so this one battery can power both the gimbal and the camera
adding a good extra two-ish hours but wait there's more what's powering this is essentially six
of those 18 56 whatever milliamp batteries that gimbals run off of so i actually have an extra
set of six of these that i keep charged up and so even if i run through this and i don't have time
to charge up this whole system i could pop those out pop six more in and now we again have a fully
loaded uh v-mount battery now on the bottom here i keep the new raveneye transmission system and
i leave it there for a couple reasons one this is a very top-heavy setup and so just having a
little bit of weight down here i think just helps kind of counteract it but it's also good just to
have a transmission system nearby i don't connect the cable all the time just to keep less cables
because i don't use it often but it's nice and quick to just attach the cable to the camera and
this and then i can have wireless focus pulling or just monitoring or whatever of the app tools
that i want now the gimbal actually comes with a couple different base plates i'm using the
one with a quick release not only because it's more convenient but actually for any pocket 6k
pro possibly 6k owners you'll need this because unfortunately this access doesn't slide in and out
like a lot of gimbals it is fixed and if you use the regular plate then the very wide camera body
is not going to fit on here and so you have to use this quick release because when i slide it on
you'll see that it's ever so slightly off to the side and so i just push it as far right over as
i possibly can and that sits nice there now with the lidar system again most of the time you see
it mounted on top and i had that at first but it was you know i wanted to run my microphone as well
and there was a lot of dead space underneath the gimbal here and so i thought of it was kind of a
genius framing idea um to put it on a condor blue hot shoe that i basically just screwed into the
front of the base plate and so now this just sits perfectly right there and that way it's always
coming back to the same spot so i don't have to re-input all that measurement information into the
gimbal and it's almost at the front of the lens which just kind of helps with uh what the lidar
camera is seeing as well as your actual camera is seeing so i just really like this kind of
setup and i think it makes it look as compact as possible and not a ton of stuff sitting on top of
the camera all right so now we have the follow focus i love how they did this system with kind
of just this thumb screw with re locking pins on the side that attaches to the quick release
of uh the base plate now since this camera is so tall with the battery pack the focus motor
straight on the built-in rod here would not reach the gears of the lens and so i had to grab
this basically extension plate that i believe also is from my crane 3s but it is sold separately i'll
leave it linked in the description and this basically added extra height if you don't have
the battery grip for the 6k pro you will not need this you can just put the focus motor straight on
this bar but if you have the battery grip or maybe like a canon 1dx mark iii or you know one really
tall dslrs you may need something like this and so this just slides back and thumb screws onto
the quick release plate thankfully the thumb screw does have little notches in it as well
and if you don't want any sort of wiggling going on with your focus motor it's always good to
tighten it down with something a little stronger than in your hands now we just have to connect
the cables from the lidar and the focus motor it's very important that the lidar goes in the bottom
usb c port on the gimbal or else it will not work it goes in here kind of just cable manage it as
neatly as one can and last but not least one thing that will help with micro jitters
uh is using a lens support both of these came with this setup and i don't think they
were intended to be used this way but since we have the lidar right below it
i can't use the lens support system in a regular way again just using whatever this piece is
with the lens support and one of the screws that it all came in the pro kit i can kind of have it
off center here lift the lens ever so slightly tighten it down and you have a really solid
lens support system and again if i want to power this i would just run a usbc cable to power this
d-tap to power the camera if i want to that is my dji rs3 pro camera setup i absolutely love
this thing shot weddings went on a boat did a whole bunch of stuff again you should check out
the other video and again all this stuff will be down in the description below if you want
to build out your own kit thanks so much for watching everybody see you in the next video
