      We're expecting at least a year of heavy use. But the beauty is that it's cheap and easy to replace. Think of them more as expendables than something you need to care after for long term use. Replacement bands will be about $20

  • @raildude270
    @raildude270 Před 10 dny

    I rented a ronin 2 earlier this month for the first time and it was so much more difficult to use than the RS series gimbals. Changing the settings were so different and not having a joystick on the gimbal was strange. It was however nice to be able to balance a heavy setup with no counter weights and no struggle from the motors

  • @sparkwilkie2577

    It'l be super nice to see a comparison with easy rig + mantis - zeegee on a steadicam arm and vest, I know they're very different tools, but since both are aiming to get a handheld look, will be awesome to study them, especially being in Finland have no access to both of them!!!

    Ready rig vega + 2 mantis and a ronin seems like a killer combo. But that's probably around the pricing of a steadycam and I'm not sure what's the pros of this over a steadycam

    • @chrisherr
      @chrisherr Před 11 dny

      Eh, vega, mantis and ronin is about $15,000 brand new. Steadicam with a volt is going to be $40,000 +. And with the Ronin 2 you also get a remote head, the ability to hand it off during a shot, dolly mounting, dual operated hand held etc etc.

      This is true, we'll be doing more comparisons soon. But the Mantis does give you other benefits outside of just stabilizing the Z axis. Larger boom range, easier adjustments of tension, ability to mount to a variety of rigs, easy rig, speedrail, ready rig etc.

      It does add about 3" to the top of the easy rig. You can also flip the easy rig adapter upside down and then it only sits about 1" higher than the easy rig.

      Our easy rig adapter has extendable pins that will give you a little more reach on a short arm easy rig. And on longer arms you can always slide the adapter back to wherever you want the elastic to come down. i.e. over your shoulder.

    • @chrisherr
      @chrisherr Před 17 dny

      We haven't tested that yet, but if the arm can hold it, then yes, in theory this can increase the limit of the minimax. But we don't take any responsibility if something breaks.
