Hi all! Very new to gimbals here, so please be gentle!
In addition to my Mavic Pro drone, I'm also looking to buy a Ronin SC gimbal as I'm looking to do some videography in addition to some semi-professional photography work I do.
The problem is, picking a suitable mirrorless camera.
I'm a typical Nikon (DSLR) shooter, so obviously I was looking towards the mirrorless Nikon 'Z mount' cameras, particulary the Z50. However, being relatively new, there seems to be not so much a legacy of nice lenses to draw upon. I want to use fast primes you see?
So, I ended up looking at the Sony A6*00 series of cameras. They look tiny and light, and there's some nice lenses out there. Additionally, there's even an anamorphic option, the Sirui 50mm/f1.8, which is also available in E mount. This lens alone has started my interest in mirrorless cameras (and it's not available in Z mount).
I'm very new to gimbal technology AND mirrorless camera systems. I was just hoping to find some re-assurance that the Sony A6*00 series are a good match for the Ronin SC?
I'm confused when looking through the compatibility charts on the DJI website. Regarding lenses, does that mean you can ONLY use those lenses on a given camera?
I'm looking to get the Ronin SC with the focus wheel & motor. So does that mean, given physical limitations, that I can 'pull focus' using the wheel & motor on most MF lenses?
Additionally, can I 'pull focus' electronically using some lenses built in focus motors? I'm confused as to when the focus motor & wheel require to be used.
So, is a 2nd hand Sony A6300 or A6400 a good match for the Ronin SC, and has anybody, dare I ask, considered using the Sirui anamorphic lenses on this gimbal?
Sorry for all the questions, pretty new to all this!
