About this deal

As with the Ronin-SC, the Ronin app is a comprehensive partner to the RSC 2. It allows you to configure the function of the three available mode slots on the RSC 2, enabling or disabling individual axis motors and customizing parameters such as follow speed. The rubber elements on the handle are also subtler than those found on the Ronin-SC, with a smoother texture that’s neatly integrated yet offers a good amount of grip. The standard model comes bundled with the folding tripod base and a full compliment of mounting bits, and it's the more expensive Pro Combo that features the must-have add-ons, including the carry case, RavenEye transmitter and Focus Motor. It also ships with the Phone Holder, which lets you side-mount your smartphone for easy access to the app and live feed. As for the new OLED screen, it’s a simple but transformative addition. Where the Ronin-SC’s trio of LED indicators required you to remember how you’d programmed each mode, the RSC 2 uses its 1-inch OLED to display which mode you’re in, what that mode does, the panning speed and the available battery life. The readout strikes an ideal balance, serving up just enough info to add clarity, without cluttering the interface. And it doesn’t try to be too smart: if you want to adjust settings, you’ll need to dive into the Ronin app. DJI RSC 2 smart connectivity and presets

The DJI RSC 2 doesn’t reinvent the gimbal. Broadly speaking, it’s a sculpted grip topped by a three-axis array of motorized arms. But look more closely and you’ll spot several significant changes compared to the Ronin-SC. The 3kg payload means that it should take most small DSLR and Mirrorless cameras; however, it’s worth allowing a bit of a weight buffer unless you’re highly skilled at balance. In the first part of the test, motion and movement were sedate and well within the range that almost all gimbals should handle.It may be the little sibling to the excellent RSC 2 but I prefer it by a mile. The full metal construction might not be as stunning or sleek as the carbon fibre of the RS 2 but it is far more functional. The RSC 2, as I said earlier, feels refined, it’s what you want, and nothing shows this more than the position of the rear arm. DJI has designed this to drop below the base of the screen when used in the standard position.

Still, provided your camera is fully compatible, you won’t find a gimbal as clever and capable as the DJI RSC 2 – apart from the RS 2. It sounds like common sense, but so many gimbals cover the screen in this position, here it’s clear and easy to see. Especially if you’re using a Sony Alpha with that ridiculous tilt-only screen The DJI RSC 2 seemed to find the correct level well, and any fears that the slightly ruff ground would start the gimbal off slightly was dismissed. The result of this additional versatility is, unsurprisingly, that the RSC 2 is even more capable when it comes to delivering a stable platform for your camera. According to DJI, there’s a newly optimized Titan algorithm which ‘smooths out the fine details’– and that certainly bears out in practice. Using the DJI RSC for gentle hallway glides provides little that raises any concerns. The motors correct my wobble and some careful footwork on my behalf manages to smooth out any bob as I walk.Deși mai pliabil decât versiunea anterioară, ai mai multe moduri în care poți filma. DJI RSC 2 este atât de versatil încât îți oferă 6 configurații posibile de filmare. Pliat, stabilizatorul încape într-un spațiu cu latura de aproximativ 19cm. Specificații The compact Sony 24-70mm is relatively compact, and while there is a little weight shift as you zoom the lens, it’s not too great, and the RSC manages to handle the difference without issue. When it comes to stabilisation for the small Sony A7 series and other mirrorless cameras, the DJI RSC 2 does an outstanding job. But then is a beginner going to be trying those more advanced shots with the gimbal? Probably not. DJI RSC 2 Review Final thoughts For all its perks, the RavenEye Image Transmission System does highlight an important point about the RSC 2: many of its best features require sold-separately accessories.

A deep breath, rebalance, and all was fine, at least with the stabilisation, the sun, however, had gone, and the runner and I decided to call it a day. Of course, when it comes to using a gimbal, you have to consider that there are all sorts of situations and locations where they will be used. For straight forward gimbal tasks, the RSC proves that it has what it takes to be a decent gimbal, and while my movements in the first test are relatively slow it gives me time to get a feel for the layout and control. There are two features that, for me, really boost the RSC above most other gimbals on the market at present, the first is the wheel positioned by your index finger. This can be linked into the optional follow focus accessory and enables full manual control. Its position is spot on, and this feature alone makes me like this gimbal.The RSC 2 also requires a little more skill to use, but at the same time I like the simplicity. As ever, the gimbal is only part of the story, and while good on it’s own, this film making tool only becomes complete once you add the Follow Focus. On one outing, when the light went too low in a rush, I didn’t balance the camera correctly. Not enough for it to not work on slow, considered motion, but push the speed and. The demands on the motors and the shake in the balance started to show. Once completed with the usual progressive balance of one arm before moving on to the next, the DJI RSC 2 was ready to fire up. Performance As the smaller of the two new Ronin releases, the DJI RSC 2 is my prefered option. OK, it doesn’t have the big payload, and you do need to be a little more precise with the balancing, but ultimately, it’s a very accomplished gimbal. The reason it wins over the larger RS 2? Well, that’s solely down to the ease of balancing. I found balancing the RS2 often painful due to the carbon, whereas here with the RSC 2, that adjustment was smooth and easy; what a difference. What is the DJI RSC 2? With the DJI RSC 2 you are less reliant on the DJI mobile app for settings changes, as it comes with a 1-inch OLED display and controls for menu navigation.
