Hey 👋, I own a few of those belt gear systems, I have the one that came with the Ronin and I have other brands, they actually aren't tighter than the small right rig ones, as they come in the diameter of your lens and they are made of a hard ruber so the fit very tight and don'ts slip. The issue is with the force of the grear against the lens, for the skipping teeth problem. You can see in the video that exactly. The second issue is the hard stop does not work if the gear ⚙️ is skipping. The lidar work fine on my cine lenses. From my testing I think the solution is to find a way to mount the focus motor with two points connected to the camera instead of the one rod, that should prevent the gear from skipping even on lenses with adapters.

Yeah, with the current setup and the lack of ability to manually set end point. I would not risk using on a job... There is plenty of things to keep in mind as it is on shoots. If the equipment doesn't perform 100% right. In my opinion is not worth the stress it could create in the middle of a shoot. If you have manual cinema glass with hard stops it works perfectly.

Yeah I think is because these lenses are not parfocus.

I have been testing a new lens, but it's just not reliable if the lens does not have hard stops 😔. Like I got it to work with the sigma art 35 1.4 and it was keeping focus at 1.4, but I de-rigged the gimbal and added the lense again and the focus kept being just a tad off, like back focusing. With the samyag manual lenses with hard stops works well and is easy to reset with a new lens, so far I tried 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.8 and both work well, sadly I don't own a 24mm or a 35 on those manual lenses so haven't been able to test them.

Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but the reason I would prefer to use a zoom lens on the gimbal is that I would only have to calibrate the gimbal once and use multiple focal length within a shoot. So imo more efficient.

there are some manual focus zoom lenses that you can calibrate with líder

@@dimitrimoonlight yeah, like the 2 lenses I mentioned in the video.

Fair point, in the end if the videos perform better it helps the channel reach a wider audience, the more people I can reach the easier it is to make more videos.

@@Luiscameraman touché brother. Buena suerte con su canal 👍🏼

Not sure you understood the point of the video. I also have a set of primes and it works fine with them, as I say in the video, but, it would be very good if we could manually set endpoint allowing us to use also zoom lenses that haven't got hard stops. So a firmware upgrade would be the solution to make in this a better unit. 👍🏾

Totally agree with you …. It’s a fantastic surprise for me and I use it with Lens THAT HAVEN’T HARD STOP 😊

Yeah, seen it yesterday.

So does it work now? no more regrets? thinking about buying it lmao

@@userrelkjwrweefdggfdgsagsadgw not sure, I'm waiting to get the RS4 pro with the new lidar and give it a try.

Thanks for the comment. I might get one soon. 👍

Not in to MTF, I used a gh5s Limix back in the day, great colours in the footage, but that small sensor and autofocus put me off.

Have you used it with lenses without hard stops? Or just cine lenses?

@@Luiscameraman i have them too, but i don’t use them with lidar, if you have more lenses to choose from like cine manual lenses, or with non hard stop, it depends on You how you will use lidar, its literally looking into useless problem for nothing man. You know it wont work with lenses who doesn’t have hard stop, cmon..
