What is a camera gimbal?
A gimbal is a device that allows smooth camera motion when handholding a
camera.
The DJI Ronin RS 2 is for small still cameras. It has three motors that balance
the movement of the camera. In ordinary use, the motors adjust to the
movement of the hand grip. Use the gimbal for travelling shots that follow a
subject or move around a subject.
You can also do special effects, like getting the gimbal to execute a series of
preprogrammed movements, follow the movement of a phone, or move
during timelapse photography.
The drawback, when using the gimbal, is the difficulty in operating exposure
and focus settings while shooting. You will want set up exposure before
recording and use autofocus.
About this CDA Quick Start Guide
This guide groups essential resources in one place, so you can quickly start using
the gimbal. It collects sources of information from the web. Some of the
procedures can be followed much easier in videos.
I make specific observations on using the gimbal with the Sony mirrorless cameras
and lenses in the CDA EV Depot and refer to specific menu settings in the Sony a7r
III camera. But you can use other cameras with similar settings.
Not all the features of the gimbal are covered in this guide.
I recommend the complete DJI user guide that can be found here:
https://www.dji.com/ca/downloads/products/rs-2
There a more concise paper DJI quick start guide in the bag, that is much less useful
that the complete user guide.
Setting up the Gimbal
DJI Ronin RS2

Warning about the gimbal motors
Don’t power on the gimbal until the gimbal is balanced and
the motors are unlocked.
Turning on the power when any of the gimbals’ motors are
locked can damage the device.
Steps for Setting up the Gimbal
Follow these steps for setting up the gimbal. They should be followed in
this order:
1. Charge the gimbal battery
2. Prepare the camera
3. Assemble and Balance the gimbal (with the camera on it)
4. Test the balance with Auto Tune
5. Connect the camera
1. Charge the battery
The battery is in the grip, and will
last for about 12 hours in normal
mode but less in super smooth
mode.
The gimbal uses less power when it
is properly balanced.
There is a USB charging port at the
bottom of the grip.
There is only one grip/battery.
Charge the battery in a place above
5° C but preferably at room
temperature.
2. Prepare the camera
Which camera to use?
The DJI Ronin RS 2 can work with many still cameras. The complete list can be found on this
page:
https://www.dji.com/ca/support/compatibility
In this guide, I refer to the Sony mirrorless cameras as these are the still cameras in the EV
depot with the best video recording quality. However, you can use other still cameras if you
wish. Refer to the specific menu settings required for remote control on the DJI
compatibility pages.
Do not use the RS 2 gimbal with any video cameras. It is not for use with the Sony FX6, FS5
or Z90 video cameras in the EV depot or any other video camera with the exception of
Blackmagic “pocket” video cameras.
Although DJI claim that this gimbal can support a 10 Lbs camera (4.5 kg), I remain skeptical.
It is difficult to balance the gimbal with a load of half that weight. The smaller and lighter
the load, the better the gimbal works.
2. Prepare the Camera
Attachments, batteries and media
Before using the gimbal it has to be balanced
with the camera. Prepare the camera so that
everything that is needed in and on the camera
is attached or inserted.
The neck strap should be removed. Place the
battery and SD card inside. Put the desired lens
on the camera, the lens hood if required and
take off the lens cap.
This advice seems pedantic but if there are any
changes to the camera (for example: removing a
lens cap or attaching a lens hood), the gimbal
will have to be rebalanced. Sony A7R III with the Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM
prime lens. This is a good lens to use.
