Hi All,

Got my RS 2 Pro Combination package yesterday.  I was able to set up the RS 2/RavenEye quickly with my FujiFilm X-T3.  All is working better than expected.  This is a very good gimbal.

I was surprised by one thing.  The tripod mount on the battery grip is 1/4" 20 rather than 3/8" 16.  This seem like an odd decision for DJI to make.  On my RSC there are both 1/4" 20 and 3/8" 16.  If one is going to reduce to only one tripod mount then I beleive 3/8" 16 is the better choice.  Why?  Most tripods (without the head) are 3/8" 16.  If you plan on mounting your RS 2 to a tripod you are never going to mount it on a 1/4" 20 tripod head/plate.  Most likely, you will remove the head and mount on on the tripod without the head where there is 3/8" 16 male mount.

My suggestion is that on the next revision of the battery grip is either to give us both 1/4" 20 and 3/8" 16 like on the RSC or replace the 1/4" 20 with 3/8" 16.

And Arca-Swiss requires a 3/8" 16 to mount any of their heads to a tripod.
