Alright guys, I got an exciting video for today. I'm going to use the Ronin-SC with my
Canon 80D and I'm going to use two lenses. I'm going to first balance it with the 10-22
millimeter lens which is wide-angle lens is kind of big and then
I have over here my twenty four millimeter lens which is lot smaller
kind of a pancake lens and this will be great because we can just put it on and
I think we'll have a lot more flexibility I'm gonna start out with the
Canon a TD and then I'm gonna put the key Canon EOS R so we see a traditional
DSLR camera with the ronin SC and then we're gonna see a mirrorless camera with
the Ronin-SC and see how they compare now I'm gonna first start out with this
wind muff on top because I like having the wind muff on top to get the audio
and it seems to balance pretty pretty fine just how it is right now okay I can
turn it around no problem balancing it seems perfectly
fine now I'm gonna walk around and see how it holds up okay so we're just gonna
go like this okay so one thing I noticed with a traditional DSLR you and this
wind muff since it is kind of a lot of weight it's kind of big especially
top-heavy especially this wind muff on top kind of throws it off a little bit
so you have to have everything set up before you turn it on if I turn it on
and then I like flip this camera this way or vice versa or try to go in there
and make a setting and mess with it the Ronin s is gonna start to shake alright
so you make sure that you're all set up before you start shooting and then
you'll be good alright and so now I'm gonna start to shoot okay
and I'm just shooting at 17 millimeters right now just walking normal all right
walking normal back and forth try not to trip
all right now I'm gonna demonstrate we're just gonna go up and down so I'm
gonna just gonna go up and down with it so you can only go so far because hits
the mic right there so when I move it even now it's a little straining see how
it's starting to shake so it's really tough with a DSLR in this type of setup
let me just stop recording right now turn it off for a second now let me try
it let me take this off now I remove the wind muff so this should be a lot better
one thing about the Ronan's the bigger the camera I would say try to balance it
as perfect as you can before you turn it on with a mirrorless a smaller camera
you don't have to balance perfect just get it close and then you could turn it
on I didn't even balance it that great with
this DSLR and it's still working pretty well so like I said before I'm at 17
millimeters right now I'm going to just start recording I don't have the wind
muff on now and we have that 10 to 22 millimeter lens shooting at 17
millimeters so let's start begin now I'm holding on the trigger moving forward
just traditional how I film normally and looks pretty good it's very bumpy here
there's a lot of leaves twigs and things like that so keep that in mind now if I
were to move it down let's see I can move it all the way down now I can move
it all the way down all the way up it's nice and smooth now if I want to do it
real cinematic going up real cinematic alright and even if I want to move it
fast
all right it's really good so as far as I can see with a smaller DSLR like canon
a TD and you know not a huge lens at 10 to 22 it's fairly decent size lens as
you can see but it's not a humongous lens okay it's not a pancake lens like
my other lens so compared to the 24 millimeter lens obviously this is gonna
have a little more trouble but it seemed pretty good everything seemed really
good so now let's put on the pancake lens and let's see if there's any
difference all right if you don't balance it perfectly it's gonna start
jumping like this all right with this small lens for whatever reason having a
really hard time balancing I can do it with the wind muff on all right that was
kind of crazy took me forever to balance this small pancake lens I don't know why
it was so difficult to balance but the much bigger lens which was a lot easier
so it could be me I'm not sure if it was me or whatever but got it to balance
finally I'm not gonna try it with the mic because it seemed impossible just to
balance it as it is but finally got it to balance so now that we have it
balanced let's test it out I'm just walking with it normal all right there's
a 24 millimeter lens what's the crop sensor so 24 millimeter
lens
what kind of fast but even when I walk seems very steady seems more studying
than the other one all right now let's move it down when I move it down
all right seems a lot smoother it could be just in my mind but seems a
lot smoother now going up nice and cinematic alright guys so I think this
smaller lens was a lot smoother but to look at the footage it's getting kind of
noisy around here people are coming out in the park they're like weed whacking
and cutting the lawn so I think it's time to go to a different location and
we're gonna use the mirrorless camera the EOS Canon EOS R to test it out with
a Rowan SC and see how it compares to this DSLR so let's go there right now so
now I have the EOS R on my camera the mirrorless camera so as you can see fits
on there nice now it's really difficult to balance it with this wind muff with
this microphone on so I suggest if you can don't use this microphones putting
more pressure on the gimbal I thought the Ronin SC would be better than it is
with this mic because of with the Ronin s I had no problem balancing with this
mic on but with the Ronin SC this mic causes a lot of issues it's very
difficult or if you just leave this set up and I don't change the lens then
maybe you could do that but it's still as you can see I can only bring it down
let me just move it well actually not too bad I can bring it down to there but
I can't bring it to full flashlight mode so and then I can't go underslung
certainly so it has its limitations and how far I can bring it down and move it
but let's try it out right now all right so I'm just filming normal just gonna
walk back and forth with the mirrorless the road
see just the canon eos are okay canon eos are running that see just walking
back and forth
moved a 17 like
right just walking normal
all right and again there's twigs and things on the ground so
now I'm gonna move it up and down okay I can only move it like that far all right
so when I move it it's very limited okay now I'm gonna try to take off this mic
and try to do it without this mic on now if I just remove this mic like this it
actually stayed balanced Wow I'm impressed okay so maybe with the
mirrorless as opposed to the DSLR when I took off that mic it didn't affect it as
much I don't know maybe I just balanced it perfectly but I just took out that
mic and it seems okay so now let me just try it it feels better in my hands
without that mic on it just feels a lot better with both cameras now we're gonna
try to go all the way down and we can go all the way down a problem okay and then
we can go all the way up so we can go an underslung mode
nice and cinematic yeah so this seems really good I'm gonna stop it let me try
to run with it I'm gonna try to run with the mirrorless and just see how that
looks all right there's a little bounce to it I don't think it's quite as sturdy
as a Ronan ass still not that bad this lens doesn't have image
stabilization on it either I just want to do one more thing before I put the
pancake lens on I'm just gonna show you what it looks like in vlogging mode okay
because this is a ten to twenty two millimeter lens and a lot of people want
to use it for a vlog okay so this is what it looks like vlogging and I could
even widen my lens a little bit okay and this is with the adapter on and it has a
pretty good field of view I mean for vlogging I'm getting a little tired but
if I pulled my arm and closed my elbow rested against here it's not too bad and
let me just walk around I'll show you how it looks okay just vlogging normal
okay so this is me just talking to the camera seeing how it looks not worried
about my exposure now I know I'm kind of overexposed you can see now I'm holding
it with two hands jiggling a little bit but you know if I walk a little smoother
that also helps to but overall it's not too bad vlogging with this now I'm using
one hand I could see myself vlogging with this I just got to get used to it
got to practice a little bit but it's actually not too bad okay so you can
definitely vlog with it I would suggest you hold it like this put your elbow in
I don't think there's much difference honestly vlogging with this mirrorless
camera and the ATD because the ADB is a small DSLR and this is a pretty weighty
mirrorless camera it's pretty robust it's got the same grip size is basically
the ATD so if you had a really big or DSLR I think you're gonna have to go
with s I don't think it's really gonna work
with this especially if you want to Mike on top and for vlogging you're not gonna
be able to hold it out here the whole time unless you're really in shape I
think you got to tuck your elbow in but you can get used to it and if you use a
wide-angle lens like I have it's not too bad okay so now I'm going to put the
pancake lens on and I'm not gonna put the wind muff on because I didn't do it
with the DSLR either and it's really hard to balance it with that pancake
lens for whatever reason I think it just throws it it's like top-heavy it goes
this way or that way so I'm going to use it without the wind muff and we're gonna
test it out alright guys so now I have the pancake lens on and it's a great
lens it's got great out-of-focus blur and so
forth but it's really close to my face I'm holding as you can see now I'm
holding about a foot foot and a half from my face and you can see the
distance it's at okay so I can sort of vlog with this but it sort of looks
weird my face is way too zoomed in all right I have to almost hold it like this
full length arms stretched out my arms chest out as you can see right now it's
not a bad length but it's you can't really vlog like this so the 24
millimeter lens at least in 4k it's not gonna work with this alright guys so the
is since this is not really a vlogging style lens I'm not going to vlog with it
but I will show you how it looks just shooting normal so let's just turn
it around okay let's turn the screen around and start recording now I'm just
holding it normal walking normal okay this lens looks
great looks definitely better than my other lens definitely sharper better
out-of-focus blur
okay now easy to go down to this lens this is a breeze so this lens is perfect
for the Ronin FC with the mirrorless is the perfect setup okay so the Ronin SC
is not going to make your filmmaking instantly a thousand percent better you
have to practice with it it does improve your filmmaking right off the bat bill I
will say that the rune S or the Ronin SC it's really nice to use especially with
this mirrorless camera I think works better than the DSLR you can use it and
surprisingly even with the bigger lens and DSLR and this wind muff it does work
but I would suggest to use a lav mic or if you're going to use this wind muff
you know you really got to take your time and balance it as perfect as you
can because I notice when using this wind muff the Ronin s see it heats up so
it gets kind of hot so I know I'm putting stress on the gimbal and over
time that's probably not good for the gimbal and it can cause like balancing
issues and things like that so so I want to wrap this video up by saying the
Ronin SC you can use with smaller DSLRs like the Canon AV d I think a bigger
DSLR I would have had trouble especially with the wind muff and some bigger
lenses this lens I use 10 to 22 millimeter lens even with this adapter
works fine now this is a bigger mirrorless camera it weighs about close
to a pound and a half so with the adapter and the lens if it protrudes out
a lot but the rhone se didn't have much problem with it but I do notice a big
difference between this and the road and s the rhone s is a beast it can handle a
DSLR the wind muff no problem whereas this guy really got to balance it
perfectly and going up and down with a bigger DSLR and this wind muff puts a
lot of strain on it I can see it getting hot and it's probably not good for the
gimbal over the long term the one advantage though of the RO NSC is that
you can vlog with it the Ronin to me is just too big it was too heavy
to blog with I could sort of do it but not really it's not really that
practical this thing is great for anybody who wants to travel anyone who
wants to vlog and get smooth footage and anyone who has a mirrorless camera if
you have a smaller DSLR or a normal-sized DSLR with a smaller lens
you can definitely use with the Ronin FC and that's about it guys hope you found
