I've been browsing to learn more about the Ronin-S compared to other options before pulling the trigger and I just noticed that the Essentials Kit went from $499 to $559 in teh US.

Is this the new official pricing? Is there anything new in the package, or is it the same product, now $60 more?

I thought the upcoming Summer Sale was suposed to DECREASE the price, not increase them

I think the price increase was due to the tariffs.

Hi Jason, due to the recent increase in tariffs, DJI has updated pricing for its products in the United States. We take many factors into account when recommending retail prices in different countries around the world, including tariff applications, tax rates and currency exchange fluctuations. We follow all applicable laws and regulations in the countries where we operate and will continue to work toward making drone and handheld products more accessible to the world while supporting the many existing customers that use DJI technology daily.

Strange, here in NL it got cheaper actually

When you guys get your Ronin S...
Please post how well it works.  Looking to use Ronin S with Z7.

I'm also looking to use the Ronin-S with a Z6 (I assume the experience will be the same as the Z7) and I'm reading other people's experience before I buy. Seems to be a good combo after the recent firmware update.
FYI, they are discussing Z6/Ronin S issues here

Not sure what my next purchase will be.
(DJI wise)
Might be Ronin S, but on the other hand, I might save a little more for a new bird

Ops, got you confused with Montfrooij, who mentioned prices had gotten cheaper.   
You will have to move to Netherlands to benefit from our tariffs.

Like to find a decent Monpod with internal shock absorption.  Perhaps spring loaded, oil dampened.
Use Monpod to support Ronin-S while taking video / pictures on bumping rides (aka trains).

Price dropped in New Zealand on Essential kit
