Hi all, I will add a quick update for you to read.
This morning was strange, after no luck at all with the new firmware and my 5D4 yesterday this morning it worked! For a while!
I powered the battery on the Ronin, then the Ronin S, then the 5D4 that was connected with the MCC-B cable. The focus wheel LED went GREEN for the first time on this Ronin and bang, start stop was working from the Ronin S, GREAT!! I took 20 short clips no problem. So I though Ahh, I wonder if the RSS-IR cable now works? Powered it all down, connect the RSS-IR cable, powered it all up in the correct order and tried to start and stop the camera, nope, nothing.. So I thought lets check the app, no one has ever said that if you look in the shooting modes/creative section you can set the camera brand, so I select Canon and move back to the main menu, still nothing, next I make sure the drive mode in PHOTO MODE is set to self timer/remote as instruced in the Ronin information, note this feature is NOT supported in VIDEO MODE but thats how the manual reads unless I am mistaken. So I then select video mode on the 5D4, go into the menu system and ENABLE REMOTE CONTROL in the RED tabs menu, I think its tab five. And it works. So I go back to PHOTO mode and select single shot drive mode, back to video mode and sure enough the IR icon on the TOP LCD is still active and the MCC-IR cable is still working, so I guess at least for now I can use the IR cable to start and stop recording even if it is crude.
As it stands I can NOT get the 5D4 to work at all with the new Ronin S firmware, I have no idea why this morning it worked for twenty mins or so, but now, no chance, LED just blinks RED and if I trigger record from the camera while the MCC-B cable is connected it gives the Err 70 message, I have noticed that it shows a couple of different messages on the rear screen, one completely shuts down the camera and you have to remove the battery to start it up again.
Sorry for the long post, I am uploading some videos as I type and hope to post them once done. I also have to images that I will attached asap too.
DJI, you are going to have to take a close look at this issue, I have no desire to crash my 1DX2 even though others here say it works, not that me personally want to use my 1DX2 with the Ronin S as for me I want lightweight rig hence my de-gripped 5D4 is perfect for the Ronin S. |
