FS5 + Ronin-M
Hi all,
I'm just wondering if anyone has had any luck using their FS5 with a DJI Ronin-M. Is it too big? What lenses work? Any samples of the results? Any info would be greatly appreciated :) Cheers, Jody |

Re: FS5 + Ronin-M
hey jody --
i've used it with the sony pancake wide angle (w/ adapter), & a samsung 12mm, both worked great. i love being able to take off the lcd & put it on the ronin, saves having to buy a separate monitor! i'll try & put up some sample footage soon..... |

I just picked up the Ronin-M and I'm finding it very difficult to balance with the stock lens - I think it's just too big. So I might pick up a pancake lens of some sort. Good to know it can be done! I'm just flying with my 70D at the moment. |

Re: FS5 + Ronin-M
I do not own the 18-105 but I think I read (can't find it now) you may need the the BP-U60 battery the 30 is a bit light and that set up needs some counter weight for perfect balance. I will post pics of the Sony LCD mounted to the Ronin M latter, I used the overpriced DJI bar mount because I may also want to mount the Shogun at some point and didn't want to cheap out
also its your first time balancing a gimbal you may just need some practice... its awkward at first then all the sudden starts taking a couple minutes is all. Quote:

i cobbled a mount together on the crossbar using this guy: http://www.amazon.com/Release-Handle...ilpage_o09_s00 (took off the upper gopro mount & epoxied a 1/4" nut onto it to screw the lcd mount into it).... & ray's suggestion on using different sized batteries to counterbalance is right on the money as well. hope this helps! |

Re: FS5 + Ronin-M
I've been using the fs5 + ronin m with the sony zeiss 16-35. It works pretty decently with with AF and an f-stop of f8. I have the camera completely striped down and also a manfroto quick release system. Minimum f4 for lowlight leaves a little to be desired though, I'm looking for something faster with a good hyper focal distance. The canon 11-24+ speedbooster looks interesting but very expensive at $3k.
