Because of the length of the arm they allow it to stop that way… so if you have a large camera with the arm extended it will still lock without hitting against the other arm

Thanks for honest review, you saved my money)

Thank you for your honest input. No other reviewer has touched on these issues.

Interesting comments , I have the RS3, my first camera gimbal. I’m sure I saw somewhere that the way the pro folds is to protect larger setup from hitting the gimbal in its folded configuration. The RS3 folds flat but I can see a menu option being a plus. I agree the implementation of Bluetooth is disappointing and I have decided just to use the cable - an annoying quirk on Canon, well R series is the need to constantly “enable” the “remote” option which on the R5 anyway reverts back to “disabled” when you switch to photo mode and it took quite a search to uncover the solution to why nothing worked initially. I don’t use LiDAR or RavenEye so as a first gimbal I’m pretty impressed compared to my crap hand held footage and it certainly well outperforms the OM4 Gimbal I use on my phone although the Bluetooth implementation on that is really good. Thanks for the content 😀

Thanks, straight up, i thought this lock function is over rated. Like to use a monopod or extend the gimbal for creative work so want it as light as possible. Just need to put the gimbal in sleep and you can lie it down. Easy.

It doesn't fold all the way far a reason if you add heavy camera you would have to extend the gimbal jaw or arm all the way if it's extended all the way it wouldn't close all the way

thanks for this, very helpful to know!

think you may need to just push the raven eye further into its slot. should fit snug

Apart from the bluetooth the rest are none issues

Isn't raven eye on rs2 combo? I'm debating between rs2 & rs3. I do have a bigger setup, blackmagic 6k pro

en conclucion compren el 2

Thanks got this info. :)

Thank you.

im returning it because it doesn't keep the camera steady

It's bigger you can stabilise bigger set ups on it.

if its size is an issue you meant to pick up the 'rs3', not 'rs3 pro'.

Lol.. Bluetooth rubbish.
