whats up CrackaLackTV my name is Cracka Lack and today we're gonna do a video
on is a DJI Ronin M really worth it if you're new to the channel please
subscribe and hit the bell to be notified for future uploads all right so
let me give you a little history if you watch this video you should know what a
Ronin is but if you don't what a Ronin is is a stabilizer is something
that you put the camera on right here and it balances it and it keeps that one
steady so I've had my Ronin for two years and let me give you some history
before that I shot about a hundred to one hundred and fifty music videos prior
to owning a ronin since having the Ronin I've shot about a hundred to a hundred
and fifty more videos with it so before I got a Ronin I'd always heard that the
people that I considered the big dogs used Ronin and that's how you got them
steady shots where it goes in and out and it doesn't look like someone's
walking on the camera now I was afraid of a Ronin just because I knew like I do
a lot of quick running gun type shoots right and I was afraid of the technology
and the price tag so me being cheap I ordered like a handheld weighted type
glidecam stabilizer super cheap that it didn't work at all okay about a few
months later I bought another one that was also cheap for like double the price
that didn't work at all so then I rented a glidecam which is like it seems like
the best of the handheld type weighted stabilizers the white guy was like broke
who couldn't figure out how to balance it or anything and so at this point I
decided you know what okay I'm gonna get a ronin
I see a lot of people use running so what I did before I bought it
you know like you can try before you buy I found this website I'm gonna look up
the website I'm gonna put the link in the description I had a whole bunch of
video shoots down in Florida I was like four or five video suits in one weekend
and I rented a ronin I figured the best time to use it would be to have a lot of
video shoot right down there I used it for my first time I'm gonna put the
footage in here I have a vlog from down a photo when I shot using the Ronin and
in it it was called like my first time using the Ronin I said something stupid
to the camera like it was pretty good but I couldn't tell that big of a
difference using everybody thinking having built-in
image stabilization having a built-in with the camera it's like a huge
necessity I'm used to that so I'm used to like trying to walk as smooth as I
can and so on this green idea on the Harvard that screen is it looked almost
like what I'm used to but I'm sure once I look at it on that computer and see
being like that it's a nice smooth that couldn't be any farther from the
truth that's why I want to do this video just to express it enough it's like
night and day difference I feel once I got it I felt like I was
such an amateur before knowing the things that I could do with it
all right well I'm sure that you guys all would want to see some footage I'm
gonna do some side-by-side footage showing you guys without the Ronin and
then with the Ronin I'll be using the same lens I'll put all that on the
screen too
n for those of you that want to know about should you get a Ronin or should you
get one of those crane like the handheld things or if the Ronin s I think is one
I'm not gonna lie I'm not too familiar with all those just when I was really
looking into the stabilizers was right before I bought this and so it's about
two years ago two years ago it seemed like for under a thousand dollars this
you either buy like a glidecam or you bought like a ronin and I think they had
in the middle was like five to six hundred dollar thing and it was like a Z
crane or something that was like new at the time there wasn't a lot of people
that recommended it and this was the big dawgs and that's why I got it if you
guys would like to see how to use DJI Ronin in video in the future let me know
in the comments I should answer you guys question is a DJI Ronin M worth it oh
yes man I think it's a thousand it was a thousand dollars not about two years ago
it's a night and day difference I've used it again for over 100 150 music
videos I've used it in weddings I've used it for commercials
plus like it's a cool like material professional cameraman type thing to
have remember when I showed up to shoot my first commercial and I had the Ronin and
it's other than just having the camera in your hand you know but you feel like
you're professional touch but also you know how being a videographer you gotta
got to document your journey show you working once I had the Ronin and I had a
couple pictures of me working shooting the music video using the Ronin from
that point on it was like yo but I'm just hanging out with the camera I don't
even take a picture like wait so I had to run it
it was cooler today two years later I don't feel that way I'm all for it I
actually do when I first got my Ronin and it was like I was using any chance that
I could and then now I like to switch it up so I got away from there and I still
do I started doing a lot of handheld and then today I mix it I'll say every video
I just use some Ronin some handheld air people that's to enter the video you
