Pickup the Ronin RS3 Mini here 👉geni.us/RS3mini Could you get away with using a smaller more compact gimbal or do you need the big boy fully rigged out??

Definitely appreciate this video Chadwin. Just picked up the RS3 Mini for a shoot, really enjoying how light the rig is!

So happy I found your video for the rs 3 mini! I always use an arca-swiss plate mounted to my camera like you do, so I am really happy about your solution with the smallrig adapter! Thank you 😊

@tanzhonghui 5 ай бұрын

I have actually properly balanced the Sony 70-200 f/2.8 ii with an A7Siii on the mini 😂 but yes it is far from practical (in general shooting scenarios at least).

This setup kind of makes the small size of the rs3 mini useless😂

An amazing review! Covered everything I needed to know especially when looking to buy my first gimbal and I also feel like I received a little mini masterclass on how to outfit a gimbal as well haha. Cheers dude and thanks again!

Honestly I didn't find it too stable until I bought the rh briefcase handle. Such a difference

Yall tripping if you know how to actually use a gimbal correctly the rs 3 mini is perfect. Smooth as can be and I can take it every where. I definitely recommend.

@chadwin 6 сағат бұрын

it's a great little gimbal! very smooth. just have to balance it right, use a smaller camera/lens setup and be aware that battery life isn't as long.

Why do you use a dummy battery for the camera instead of the FX3's usb c port?

@bigboiz-saigon9348 3 ай бұрын

I often run a little bit more heavy than u with the RS3 mini. My advice for that is a Smallrig Shoulder-strap and a Sling handgrip. Work fine for me for about 6-8 hours countinuos shooting.I use R7 with Canon 24-70 2.8 and 50 1.2 L lenes and pretty much your same loadout. Edit: Dont put the Focus motors on it.

Seems like a very good budget gimbal.

@chadwin 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, comparatively speaking it’s so much cheaper and still gets the job done fine.

I just went to a gym and now no gimbal is to heavy for me.

😂 yeah! You’re ripped now and no gimbal can stand in your way. But for reals tho, I am hitting the gym trying to fix my back after a car accident.

Great. Love that smallrig extension and the v-mount adapter suggestion. What hdmi thin cable did you choose? Thx

How do you zoom with a gimbal? do you need to balance it every time you zoom since you don’t have a power zoom lens? I don’t think you can zoom while filming?

@harshbhavsaar2283 21 күн бұрын

yes that correct . zooming the lens means adding length to the lens that ads weight to the from. so you have to use a prime lens or set it to a fixed focal length

Or....you get a Lumix S52 and do better handheld at a fraction of o cost and your back will thank you!)))

@chadwin 7 сағат бұрын

Yeah, that could be a good option! There are a Ton of great cameras out there now with good IBIS and post stabilization as well with gyro data. but sometimes, nothing can replace a nice gimbal shot.

@JeffreyJDavis 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for an interesting and useful video. I was wondering if you have ever weighed ALL of the inspector gadget stuff you added on in this video to find out how much it increased the naked gimbal weight?

@lewisoninc Ай бұрын

you can balance larger lenses like 70-200 with counter weights fyi

@chadwin 6 сағат бұрын

that's true, then it just gets heavier with the counter weights though. so some tradeoff for sure.

Hello, I just had my s3 mini. When I am in lock mode, the pan is still moving. Is that normal or should not be soing any movement at all?

Is it showing as correctly balanced on the app? If so, there is an issue with the gimbal

@helemaalbigT 3 ай бұрын

Weird question, but since you have a Quest 3 in the background I'll shoot my shot here: I 3D printed an adaptor for Quest 3 which allows me to mount it to camera rigs, and I'm looking for a good gimbal to use with it. Would the mini work well for this you think? Could it handle the dimensions of the Quest? (which are a bit bigger than a typical camera)

Hello from Australia. Nice review! Could you still attach the small rig monitor arm and a handle? Thanks

@matthai100 3 ай бұрын

all that weight of the battery and monitor to the side of the gimbal is gonna make it difficult to keep the gimbal horizontal, it will keep tipping to the side in your hands. i tried sthg similar. you need move weight to the centre

@RoyOlsen Ай бұрын

The Canon RF 70-200 f/4 is excellent for handheld shooting sports with the RS 3 Mini. Just saying.

@chadwin 6 сағат бұрын

that's good to know. seems a bit front heavy, but if you can balance it...kudos!!

@FabioPansera 6 ай бұрын

Hey man! Nice video! Would you be so kind to share the approximate weight of the two setups ? I'm on the market for a Gimbal because the four titanium screws in my left shoulder left me a bit weaker despite the rehab and physiotherapy, even 2 years after the surgery. Thank you!

@muhammadgangat9571 4 ай бұрын

Will be okay with a 24-105? 👀👀

the G24-105 is just a bit lighter than the GM16-35 so I would imagine it would work.

HI :) New subscriber here, I bought the R3 Mini to use with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. As none of my lenses are OSS. I am enjoying learning the Gimbal, (my back is not) but I have a question/challenge. I want to find a way to use the iPhone with the gimbal controls! focus, zoom, and record button - Tag your it :)

@chadwin 2 ай бұрын

Thx for subbing! Glad to hear you’re putting your Mini to use! Idk of a way to control your iPhone with the Ronin tho. Have you download the DJI app to see if there’s good options? They do have a mobile app that does tracking, I just dunno how well it works with the Mini. I use mobile gimbals with my iPhone, like the Moza, cause it has built in controls for adjusting phone settings

great video! do you ever find that running so many cables from the camera throws off the balance or affect the movement especially when doing a wider pan? How do you fix that issue? Thanks!
