Picked up my Ronin-M about a month ago and havebeen shooting consistently with it ever since. This is the first gimbal/stabilizerthat I have ever worked with let alone owned. By no means am I an expert but Ihave really enjoy the learning process and am very pleased with the results.
Take a look at some footage feedback is always appreciated!
Shot with Panasonic GH3 and 14-42mm lens. Mix of slow motion and regular speed. Footage is ungraded.
I used to work at a remote head rental place in LA and worked with some of the top professionals in the grip/camera dept. Worked with a lot of steadicam operators who laughed at the Ronin... (i started to drink the Kool-aid too, thought you needed a steadicam op to be able to achieve 'professional results')
What i've come to realize is that is not the case.
The ronin is essentially a stabilized remote head that you can hold in your hands, take in a moving car, throw into small spaces and pull off camera moves that would have costs thousands of dollars in equip and labor. Take a look at the :17 mark for what I'm referring to. 70% of this spot was done with the ronin.
Just shot this a few weeks ago with the Ronin DJI and the Alexa Mini. Let me know what you guys think!
Really and that's why hollywood movies shoot with them, tv production, sporting events ? I use and own both, and they both have their strength and weaknesses. But again a 3-axis gimbal does not replace a steadicam operator.
