So today with variable weather conditions we decided to put our trusty Ronin-S through it’s paces from a photographic stills perspective and combine it with a few stills we captured using our Mavic Pro.

We always start a days flying or filming by checking a variety of apps to ascertain weather conditions, from our local weather station, to the UAV Forecast and lastly windy dot com. Planning and preparing for weather is vital as it gives us an indication of potential light and wind direction throughout the day. knowledge of Weather has a significant bearing on the potential outcome of a shoot, be that aerial based or ground based.

As we were shooting predominantly ‘stills’ with the ronin using the ronin app it was important to attach the ronin to our Manfrotto Tripod and  counterbalance the ronin to ensure a sturdy base for the ronin in at times challenging windy conditions. The Ronin-S is rock solid, but needed to be anchored to the floor using this method as we were shooting remotely using a field monitor app and the ronin app to trigger the shutter.

Here are a few of our images below.

Really nice shots

Thanks Hallmark, appreciated greatly. We've been really putting the ronin through its paces as far as remotely capturing stills are concerned. We absolutely love the ronin for video, but wanted to see just how creative we could get operating it remotely from a distance using a variety of monitor apps as well as the dedicated ronin app and so far I'm pleased with the results. The ronin and the DJI ronin app work with no issues that we have found, but have had at times disappointing results linking the camera to the field monitor app on the iPad, but the slight lag I can live with.  We've a lot more testing to do, so early days yet.

Amazing, like the pic with fallen leaves and chestnuts so much.

Stunning work mate!
