I had a similar problem with a Canon 7D mkII with the 16 - 35mm zoom and matte box. I've solved my tilt axis balancing problems with the Ronin HG900 Counter-Weight set. The set does NOT fit the Ronin-M. The part that the rods screw into is too wide when mounted at the rear of the "receiver" and it blocks properly installing the camera mounting plate. However, with the addition of a single, small flat washer, I was able to attach a weight block (and you would be able to stack up to all three with the included long screws) using one of the small screws from beneath the camera mounting plate through the rear mounting hole. The weight block remained tightly attached, sitting on the plate just behind my 7D mkII with 16-35 zoom and matte box, with the lens support at last properly mid-lens (and not interfering with the zoom or focus rings). With the weight block, I was finally able to balance the tilt axis. Were I too add a follow focus or glass filters, I can now easily stack additional weights behind my camera on the mounting plate. This had proven to be a great solution for me. |
