Thanks for the video. Is there a way to switch the camera (Sony Alpha 6600) between autofocus and manual focus via the gimbal?
Great value. Great looks.
can I use the one focus motor on the zoom for dzo 20-70mm parfocal lens without disrupting calibration? Thank you for any clarification.
Also, dji could do add a support to autotune start/stop points on lenses without hard stop. You only need to know the maximum focusing angle, i.e. it is usually 150 degrees on sigmas. So, if you rotate 150 degrees in one direction, you will find a "soft" stop. The problem is that DJI really does not care
(and yea, you still need to measure that max angle and input it, but should be possible to make it very usable though the mobile app). We need some open-source gimbals xd
This is DJI we are talking about, they always make neat kit but with many many oversights especially in the software side of things, this will never be added.... I mean fuck I want to control focus when using the "Create Track mode", Focus can be controlled on "Create Timelapse mode" but they will never change it.
I wondered if you can use the extra wheel for iso? or another setting
Can you show how to connect the motor and the control knob, but only in DJI RSC 2?
As someone that has upgraded today from the old Ronin SC Pro Combo to the new RS2 Pro Combo, I now find that the new index finger focus wheel CANNOT be calibrated and set to limits like the older, cheaper SC Pro Combo??? And yet, this video tells me, if I were to buy ANOTHER motor I would then be able to??? Surely it would be easy to update your NEW focus motor and wheel to act the same way as your OLD focus motor and wheel???
I gather this is no longer a problem in the latest firmware as I can see options for it.
Thant's si much 🙌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏼
I have the Sony A7SIII camera and the Sony 28-135mm Power Zoom lens. I use zoom from the focus wheel on the RSA/NATO port.
Do you know how I can use the zoom from the RSA/NATO port and the IRIS or Focus from the front dial?
Do you have a better video showing the dual cable connecting a bmpcc6 please because when I use a dual motor just one light turn green and the other one stay red
Who’s idea was it to not be able to calibrate or change direction of the supplied motor?
I don't know but this needs to be changed.
who said you can´t change the direction? ever checked the menu of the rs2 for this option?
yeah dude, this product is amazing, how dare you
is there a reason why my tilta nucleus nano doesnt work with the ronin s2 focus motor?
When I use the focus dual motor I can still use raveneye ?
Can it be mounted on the left hand side?
Can we do focus in the mobile phone while seeing preview in the phone with the raven eye?
My question is how to focus with smartphone while we use phone as preview monitor.
Can we connect it to two phones 1 for focus motor and 1 mobile for preview monitor.?
There is nothing way to calibrate the focus motor when operating from the handle wheel. The problem is that on lenses with the focus wheel lock, it is possible to break the focus ring, because you cannot set the working range of motor. I think the DJI should consider calibration motor in the next firmware.
this!
YEP! I paid extra for the pro combo, assuming that it would work the same as the pro combo on my previous RoninSC, only to find DJI have taken a step BACK by introducing a motor wheel that can not be calibrated and limited like the previous one. but if I were to buy yet ANOTHER focus motor, I would then be able to calibrate and limit, therefore rendering the new index finger focus motor USELESS.
Yeah, this is a major problem. On lenses with hard stops the camera bumps like crazy when it hits the end of the focus range... Lenses that have infinite focus ring rotation are generally autofocus anyway, so in most cases you don't need the focus motor at all for that type of lens. So what is the point of the focus motor if it barely works with manual (hard stop) lenses?
I don't understand. This guy: czcams.com/video/DPL8De8raJA/video.html could obviously calibrate the motor on the front wheel.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
Is there support for focusing from the app with Raveneye planned? This is a really compelling option with Zhiyun and I would love to be able to do with my DJI gear too.
manual focusing from app works, you need to set up end focusing points though, which is pain in the back for some lenses.
Dose the ronin control ring support rotation of the tilt motor?
can I use focus motor without rs2 ? with a stand alone controler for a second person ? I know about phone and bleutooth but if I dont use the rs2
Does anyone experience a little bit of inconsistency with the follow focus motor? Like a slight jitter? DJI QC is garbage and their window of return (15 days) is very short. Trying to see if I'm the only person who got shafted.
is there a way i can attach focus motor with the long plate?
can this be done with the RSC2? thanks
Looks like this could work on a Canon XA30 camcorder. Right?
Every time i saw Dji prodeuct makes me say wOw😱
Nice job guys .🔥🔥🔥
Does it work on the rokinon 14mm?
Can the focus controller be used without the gimbal?
DJI, why oh why can you not calibrate the built-in gimble focus wheel to use on lenses with no hard focus stop?! This is crazy! SO you are telling me I spend the extra money on the combo package expecting to be able to use the focus motor on my canon L glass and it won't work?! I now have to purchase a further focus motor and I can only use the built in wheel for zooming? Also, my zoom doesn't have a hard stop either so I am guessing I am going to have exactly the same issue even if I now purchase a separate focus/ zoom motor. Also you should differentiate between the two and not just call them all 'focus motors' because they are doing different jobs...
There are multiple comments requesting the same thing here, DJI need to listen.
@@michaelsus1072 they are always so slow to listen
You can stop the focus motor during calibration by hand ] grab the focus ring at the moment it reach the end points ) that’s all
Thank you for telling me this I was less then minutes away from ordering this stuff and i have all canon l series glass
I don't know if this was a software change or if this feature was already in there but you can set the start and end positions manually.
My base plate does not have the holes going horizontal. Do you have one you can recommend?
The problem is the camera lens is deflected from the torque of the motor. The provided lens support is not rigid enough 😭- when you are shooting at 70mm it is very evident. It's awesome having it in a small package though!
yeah, I've printed my own. The included support is just a joke.
On my rig the motor pushes the lens slightly to the side because of the strength of the focus motor. Can get it to work smoothly. Have you guess figured this out
@@danielgoncalves3143 3d printed a strap holder for a lens. And a proper mount plate (camera specific, it goes in front and below the camera), that blocks plate from unscrewing
Why is my focus motor not working? Is there a special usb to usb cable? It's lighting up red on the motor, but the wheel is doing anything.
Question. I have an A7siii. I have a focus motor control, but not the second focus motor yet. But in the meantime, can I set the wheel to control my ISO or aperture and the additional motor to control the zoom?
Thank you.
that'd be cool
is it compatible with Fujifilm X-t30?
per posizionare i 2 punti di interesse con il solo focus motor che esce insieme alla versione pro.. come si fa?
Nices Video
With the DJI RSC2 wheel to control motor focus, can others motors like the one from Tilta be controled too? Thank you
I cant get the focus motor to work on RSC2. Did all the steps, light is blinking green and powered on but nothing happens when i turn the front dial...
Good timing with these videos as I dive into setting my RSC 2 up today. This will work with the RSC 2 as well, right?
Different ways to get around the menu, but from what I can see, yes.
Did you get the motors with rsc2 and does this function work on it?
can someone help me I want to control the focus with playstation 4 controler but can't figure it out how
Is there a connecting cable from the gimbal to the camera that lets me control the focus of an electronic lens without using extra motors?
I want to control DJI focus motor without gimbal. Is that any option????
Hello.
I don't know who to ask.
I bought a DJI RONIN RS2 Pro COMBO for my CANON R6 camera to shoot video.
Collected everything, balanced, installed the application on the phone.
There was a footnote in the app to update the app. Updated.
For some reason, the focus motor does not work for me, and before the update and after the update, it has a red light on.
What could be the problem?
Could you tell? Maybe this Focus Motor is not compatible with the Canon R6?
Is there a way to reverse the default direction of the RS 2 focus front dial? The default directions feel backwards to me. BTW, I am not using the add-on focus wheel.
Slide your finger up on the screen and select dial speed. you can adjust the speed, smoothness, and dial direction from there.
Is there a way to cut down the focus motor torque so it isn’t so jerky when turning the from dial?
Slide your finger up on the screen and select dial speed. you can adjust the speed, smoothness, and dial direction from there.
India there is no option to buy focus meter
If so can you help me out , i have to buy one.
I want to film sports with an elevated camera. I think the 50ms latency of the RavenEye Image Transmitter should be handy for controlling gimbal movements using Force Mobile and Zoom In/Out using the Focus Motor.
I hope I can use the DJI RS2/3 Pro Combo with a fast Auto-Focus enabled Camera equipped with a Zoom Lens, elevated at 15-22ft height using a Heavy Duty Telescopic Stand
And what if you use a Nikon D5? Then the camera turns out too high, the standard gear can't reach the lense.
I have encountered an issue with the focus motor, where whenever I turn the knob, it slightly moves the entire camera, especially when im going from one direction to the other. It seems like it has something to do with how the camera is mounted, but I made sure to tighten the bracket as much as it can. Has anyone experienced this issue?
Top or bottom mount the motor so it doesn't slip as easily. All you have to do is flip the motor. If you like the orientation of the wheel itself, you can go to dial speed and select reverse dial.
How do you keep the rubber gear locked in place? The turning of the focus wheel pushes the focus motor out of contact
Tighten the mount on rod
2:23 how do I open the 8pin on my rsc2 to screw in my focus wheel? its covered by a big screw or sth.
Remove the screw, you'll be able to reveal the nato mount
I literally feel like you all are giving me the run around. I have tried numerous suggestions (firmware, balance, positioning, different lenses, manual stopping, etc, etc.) and yet you all keep not telling me excuses as tp why my focus wheel is inconsistent with no solution. Literally the last thing you said was that there was an update coming out that might fix this but that it's not available.
Seriously? You're going to make me troubleshoot on camera what I already told you all, send detailed videos, only to NOT tell me I have a faulty follow focus and that a firmware update might fix this? Horrible customer service.
That focus wheel looks so pro, but it's still impossible to configure neither speed nor direction for it. And it's not possible to select what it would control though the menu.
But they still put it into the video.
Apparently, still not configurable. Lol
@@user0K wow, they want you to buy the fucking wheel
@@nathancasey7712 which does not fully work (ok, if you have lenses with different thread direction - good luck fighting "Ooopsie, wrong direction" feeling xddd). It should be a physical switch, lol.
❤️
Is it possible to use a zoom lens like this on an RS3?? Can't seem to find answers anywhere! I thought you may have to re-balance the gimbal each time with a zoom or is it powerful enough to hold a variable weight? 🤔
If possible you should definetly rebalance it especially because it's goign to drain your battery a lot quicker. However with my Sony GMII 24-70 / f.2,8 I never had any issues. Just make sure that when you balance your gimbal, the lens is about half way between the 2 end points.
😍😍
Anyone know how to reverse the dial so the lens focused the opposite way?
Slide your finger up on the screen and select dial speed. you can adjust the speed, smoothness, and dial direction from there.
Is the focus motor compatible with DJI RSC gimbal?
Hello, there. Yes, DJI Ronin Focus motor is compatible with DJI Ronin SC.
Can you control this with raveneye?
Hi, I'm trying to answer the question but in French.
For the moment it's no.
But for the HDMI transmission it's ok with the Raveneyen and this config.
BUT you cannot control the Ronin if you do this.
You 'll can control the Ronin with the bluetooth mode only and not with the wifi.
czcams.com/video/rO54WLDwgpw/video.html
Can somebody please tell me what the purpose of having dual focus wheels is? Is it simply to have two different places for control? Does it involve how the interact together, or no?
Two focus wheels allow you to control both focus and zoom with a zoom lens.
Can't update my focus wheel, already tryed everything but it seems that this thing just isn't worth money
Tengo el Gimbal Ronin SC2 lo estoy vendiendo al igual que la cámara Sony alpha 6600 con lente 16-50 f3.5-5.0 con estuche y memoria 64gb la cámara solo tiene 967 disparos el gimbal está prácticamente nuevo
Canon 5D Mark IV is not compatibility for "zoom".
The Focus Motor doesn't reach the gears on my lens. I'm shooting with a C70 which is a tall camera and a Rokinon Cine Lens which is not very wide like the Canon RF lenses so it's just out of reach. Has anyone found a workaround?
Yea. You would have to print a wider gears
Une heure que j'essai de le configurer, il clignote au rouge et rien de plus...
Can't rotate both A and B at the same time..
pity..
Question: Does the DJI R focus wheel work on the rsc2? And if it doesn't, then why?
Hi, we are sorry for the confusion caused, DJI RSC 2 is not compatible with DJI R focus wheel, RSC 2 has the built-in front dial.
@@DJITutorials is there a way to set focus A B points on th rsc2 then?
@@YaliFilmaker15 To set the focus AB point, you may need a Focus Motor: store.dji.com/product/ronin-focus-motor?from=search-result-v2&position=2.
To set the focus motor range, please refer to page 8 of the manual for the details, thank you dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_RS_2/DJI_Ronin_Focus_Motor_User_Guide_mul_v1.2.pdf.
@@DJITutorials Dji, can I use the focus motor from the Ronin SC on my new RSC2 model?
@@DJITutorials Where do you set A/B points on the RSC2?
Such user-friendliness. Amazing! Are these available in the Creator Combo?
On RS3 Pro? Thanks for the info. I tried it on the RS3 Pro but the red light keeps on blinking, meaning it cannot connect. Any one a solution or experience with this? Thanks!
Hi there, sorry to know about the issue. Could you please provide us with a video to check how the red light blinks? You can send the video to our support team through the link below. www.dji.com/support
@@DJITutorials thanks for the reaction. I work in an other country till 23/8, so I can’t make a video, but it blinked every second. On the DJI forum, reactions tell me about a similar experience.

Did you did a. Solution? Having the same issue
I've connected everything, and my focus motor blinks red. What now? Is it telling me I need to update or something?
1:36 This is not happening for me. I have the correct dial options, and the cables are connected, but it really just sits there flashing red. I'm starting to get worried there's something wrong...
Hello, there. Sorry for your inconvenience. Would you please tell us which product you are using and how the red like blinks? For example, the red lights blinks fast or low, how many times?
why do they call the second motor a 'focus' motor when it clearly activates the zoom function!! My goodness, nobody in marketing bother to check these videos for accuracy before they're released?
Hello, there. Sorry for your inconvenience. May we know which product you are using and could you please tell us more details?
my focus mounting bracket wont screw to the front of the camera plate... the screws are too short
Same. It was a mistake to get the pro combo for sure. Bad design and bad quality on the parts.
first half it shows rf lens then it shows EF lens
Foucs :)
Unfortunately the focus motor is not compatible with a 1DX and standard L series lenses. Big oversight. :(
Why are you using the Ronin SC focus motor and not the Ronin Rs focus motor ?
Hi there, it's this DJI Ronin Focus Motor, it can be used on DJI RS2 and RSC2: store.dji.com/uk/product/ronin-focus-motor?from=autocomplete&position=2.
@@DJITutorials Yes I understood the configuration but I don't understand why you're not using the ronin RS2 focus motor that is sold in the pack...
I tried the same configuration that you are showing with 2 RS2 motor and it doesn't really work because there is not the space for that config. It is not correctly working because the first focus motor is touching the second one (for a sony 24-70 ZEIS).
I hope you'll understand !
And I was asking mysself, if i do the same configuration but like this :
Is it bad for the Ronin ?
I saw that the balancing is moving a lot between the 24 and the 70.

@@paris3DVR Hi Joffray, the motors we are using in the tutorial are DJI Ronin Focus Motor, the Ronin-SC focus motor is not compatible with RS 2.
Regarding your issue, please try to use the camera riser, or mount the motors on both sides, but you may need one more rod mount, if you have a longer rod mount, you can try and adjust the distance of the motors.
@@DJISupportGlobal Ok thank for your answer.
I understood that it is not exactly the same focus motor because of you are in another country.
Thanks for your help, I’m going to try.
Last question, how can I get the WiFi transmission and the control of the Ronin with the Raveneye using this configuration ?
The the new focus is using the USB port of the Ronin (who was used by the Raveneyen).
There is a solution for this ?

Anyone take off the M4 cover and nothing is there at all?
My gear strip is wayyyyy too long. It sticks out like 5 inches on my 16-35mm sony lens. What on earth am I supposed to do.....
Hi there, may we ask will it affect the other accessories? If you usually only use this lens, you can cut off the excess part of the gear strip.
@@DJITutorials I guess I can cut off the excess for my largest lens and hopefully the extra won't be too long for my slightly smaller lenses.
Also, is there any way to flip the direction of the focus wheel? I don't like the current set up of the knob and the direction it focus pulls
@@trimotionmedia5487 Hi there, you can press and hold the focus wheel multifunction button to reverse the rotational direction of the focus motor. You can also check out more information at the focus motor users manual: dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_RS_2/DJI_Ronin_Focus_Motor_User_Guide_mul_v1.2.pdf.
Please let us know if we misunderstand the request, thank you.
It doesn't work with the Canon 1Dx Mark II despite the fact that DJI uses it in their commercials to sell RS2. The motor is too short and doesn't touch the lenses. I just wasted my money and DJI customer services remains silent after several messages...
My focus wheel will not hold tight enough to actually work
Yikes!
Is it compatible with dji rs 3?
Hi there, DJI Ronin Focus Motor is compatible with DJI RS 3/DJI RS 3 Pro.
@@DJITutorials well, can the focus wheel be used with the rs3?
@@DJITutorials ??
@@hopdediksanat5517 No, DJI R Focus Wheel does not work with RS 3. The compatibility accessories list can be checked at dl.djicdn.com/downloads/DJI_RS_3/DJI_RS_Series_Universal_Accessories_List_en.pdf
Is there anything these gimbals can't do?
This does not work with the Nikon Z 9
Did NOT show how to calibrate it
With these features, the only reason that you're not getting the footage that you want would probably be your fault
111
yes but when you zoom it goes out of balance
Due to the new digital focus control with the new index finger wheel, the focus motor is rendered a pointless purchase. The only redeeming factor would be calibration and focus control with the limiting options, like the previous Ronin S and SC had, but this has been completely removed??? DO NOT BUY THE PRO COMBO VERSION unless you want the Raven Eye, which even then can be bought separately later.
What is this digital focus control you are talking about? I bought the RSC2 but thinking about ordering the Pro so I can have the zoom motor.
