► PLEASE READ!! - Sony a7 III series cameras - USE Sony Multi cable!!
In both the RavenEye and Ronin Series compatibility lists it clearly states to use the Sony Multi cable. If you check the setup method for the A7 III series cameras in the Ronin Search, under usb-c, point 6, it is clearly stated "② cable and Ronin RavenEye Image Transmission System cannot be used at the same time." The screen will be black. USE the Sony Multi.

I just bought the RS3 Pro and I scoured the earth for solutions to how to get Raven Eye to work with my A7r3 and the consensus from every "professional" in the game was that my camera model is outdated for 2023 and that I should just upgrade to a Sony S3 or a Sony A1... Now just came across this video and it save me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!! What's your patreon???? I need to donate something to your channel!!!
The RS3 Pro is an excellent gimbal. Outdated?! I love my A7R3!! I have the A7S3 and now the ZV-E1, but I'm really fond of my A7R3 and use it every single day, being able to punch into crop mode in 4k is just a life saver! No need at all, I'm glad I could help, that makes my day.
I was breaking my head try to figure this out , you were super simple with your demonstation and down to the point.
I'm happy I could help! I do my best nowadays to get to the point, I know watching others that if they start blabbering on about what they did the other day I just fast forward 😂
Watching your Video BEFORE trying for 2+ hours to connect my brand-new RS2 Pro Combo with my Alpha III / iPhone would have made sense. THANK YOU Phillip. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for !!
Charly from Germany
You're welcome Charly, I'm happy it came in handy! All the best from Poland.
I KNEW I wasn't going crazy! The USB C cable setup DOES have an issue with displaying to the phone! I hope DJI fixes this ASAP along with allowing usage of both the MULTI Cable and the USB C cable at the same time so we can get ALL functionality. Thank you so much for making this, I hope you sent it to DJI so they can get to fixing!
I'm not sure DJI have seen this video, but I'm sure they know this is a problem. If you look at the compatibility chart, you'll see that all Sony cameras only use the Sony multi cable, which is funny, because with the Ronin S it was the usb-c that worked better. I'm sure they'll keep updating, it's an excellent gimbal with so many fantastic features I'm certain we'll get more options in the future.
That RSS port on the RE was messing with me for quite some time. Plumbed the rig as you stated in this video and everything works as promised! Which is a rarity given I'm running a Nikon Z6ii. But I have full exposure control , as well as being able to record through a Ninja V tethered [I have the expansion kit]. Everything is powered through a Smallrig 50Wh battery and I couldn't be happier.
It finally kind of works thanks to you. I‘ve still got one problem: when I press „record“ on any of de devices (the AIII, the RS2 or the Smartphone), the screen turns grey. It‘s recording, but I can‘t see it… Do you have any Idea how to fix this?
Thanks Mr. Phillip! I’m glad this landed on my feed today I just barely got my RS2 and I’ve been trying to learn all the stuff as fast as I can!
You're welcome Bryan, I'm glad it helped!
You are the MAN! Thanks you so much, Mr. Skraba!
Anytime, glad I could help!
THANK YOUUUUU I FINALLY CAN USE IT PROPERLY
I'm glad I could help!
I messed it up big time with them cables. BUT with your help i did decent job. Thanks man :)
Awesome, happy I could help in some way.
I find your channel to be excellent. You get to the point and explain things clearly. Thank you!!!
Thank You Dan! I do my best to get to the point and talk less about my morning coffee, it's a stuggle sometimes as it's nice to have someone to talk to 😂 Thanks for the support, it means a lot to me!
you have done best tutorial, thank you for the video. I will try to figure out with my Canon 5d mark iv.
Thank You Kate, I’m glad you think so. Have fun!
I love you !
It was the wrong cable for my a7s2 😅
haha, well, thank You!
Helpful than many other videos .
Thank You, glad I could help!
Phillip, I used the raveneye to connect my Canon 5d iv w/a 24-70 f2.8 ii. You can adjust the ISO, aperture and shutter-speed using the app. Double tap the screen and the settings will show up.
Really? I'll give that a try, on this update that wasn't a possibility.
Oh mate. This saved me hours of anger with my a7iii and RSC2. However, I do wish we could control focus with Activetrack too.
I’m glad it helped! I hope DJI continue to drop lots of updates for these two gimbals, they really are quite incredible! I’m still working on getting to grips with 3D focus, super fun stuff!
Awesome bro. Am finally set up
Happy to hear that, have fun!
Hey Phillip. I hope you are doing well.
I am trying to figure out smth with the RS2 combo. As soon as I switch the gimbal on, it starts drifting and circling. And the error with the joystick in the app.
I need your help. What should I do?
Appreciated.
Hi! Really? That is odd, never had that problem. I'd connect it to the computer, use the desktop app, reinstall the software and do a factory reset on it. Mine has always worked perfectly, the only drifting I get is on my Zhiyun 😂
Awesome video, thanks!
You're welcome! Lots more coming on the RS 2.
Does anybody have the link to the USB C to Sony Multi cable?
It should be right there on the DJI website under RS 2 accessories.
@@PhillipSkraba I aske the question after i ordered it, and then went back and realized it comes with the Gimbal. Thank you for your time to reply though.
Thanks mate that helped a lot now I’m gonna try to setup my gimbal
Happy to help!
Great video, it helps me, thanks
You're welcome!
Is this with setup charging the Camera?
This is just about connecting the RavenEye. I’ll be dropping more videos on the RS 2 soon 🔥
Great Video! It was a huge help.
Thank you and you're welcome!
Hey Phillip, thank you - that's really helpful. Can you tell me though - am I missing something... When using Sony 'multi', you have no control over focus. You can't even prompt the camera to focus with a half-press? Raveneye also does not change the focus area? Which means you have to set the camera to AFC and wide and hope for the best? is there a better way?
Same question
Hi Phillip, I was wondering if you could help me. When I press record on the Dji rs2 it doesnt record on my camera anymore. It used to. Do you have any suggestions about what it could be or what to do? Thank you.
Did you swap cables by any chance?
I updated the firmware on my camera and it started working. Thanks for getting back to me
Turn on ronin first, then the app, and then the camera, then the settings.
I was totally scratching my head cause I was “hot plugging”, and couldn’t get any of it to work LOL!
I'm glad you got to the bottom of it Jonathan!
Thank you so much for this video. I’m going to try hooking mine up when I get home later.
You’re welcome, good luck!
Same issue with the rs3 on usb c to usb. C, thank you
Everything works with af except video with c to c
Yes, it's the same problem. It's all down to Sony I'm afraid, DJI has done a fine job.
Excellent guide Phillip thanks very much
You’re welcome Pete!
Thank you. You saved me. Excellent video.
You're welcome, thank you!
Oh man, you saved my life! Thanks a lot!
Is there an opportunity to charge the camera while filming with the gimbal?
You're welcome! I'm afraid I haven't tried that, so I can't answer that, I'm actually diving deeper into my RS2 right now, 3D focus, car mounts, etc, so I'll look into that.
@@PhillipSkraba With the usb-c cable it is no problem the A7M3 charges fine, but than you have the problem with the black screen...
@@pkonig2710 Oh the black screen, yep, that's a pain in the ass with the a7III. I wish it didn't do that!
good afternoon, I just wanted to ask if the same setting is also for Alpha 7c
It should work in a very similar way, sure!
Thank you very much for your help with sony camera!
You're welcome!
Hello, thanks for the informative video. I have the Sony A7 sii and everytime I shoot in 4K, the camera's screen goes black when I press the REC button, but works fine when I shoot in HD. Any ideas how to fix it?
Hi I am sony alpha 6400 user. Can you please tell why Aperature, Shutterspeed and ISO is coming N/A in the app connected via Raveneye and how to fix it.
Hi Phillip, thank you for the great channel and the provided information. Is there any photo illustration for the cable and where it should be connected for Sony A7iii?
Any ideas on how to get Raven Eye feed to OBS as a video capture device?
I've actually been looking into that and no options at the moment.
@@PhillipSkraba So check this out! Its not a wireless solution but I couldn't even get a feed at all from my EOS R5 to obs when using the Raven Eye. I found out if you get this HDMI splitter (I linked it below) you can plug the camera into the middle port, then the Raven Eye and OBS input into the other two. I think we'll have to wait for DJI to release some update for wireless. My DJI drone has support for custom rtmp streaming to OBS so I don't see why they couldn't with this. We can only hope!
Link to splitter www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X23C5NJ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A2JRAC0MU80W31&psc=1
Do you have to use RSS to use Raveneye? I have a camera that doesn't have the "multi" output, but the Raveneye is connected to the gimbal and the HDMI out from the camera is connected to the Raveneye. I can't get this thing to work for the life of me.
Thanks for making this informative video! I don't know if they fixed the usb-c issue with a firmware update or it's the new camera, but I was able to get Raveneye working WHILE using the USB-C cable. All the parameters can be changed directly from the app, and even use the wheel can be used to adjust focus now, which is very helpful. I am using RSC2 with Sony R7S3, and I think this is something you might want to know and test out!
I even checked DJI's website for compatibility with R7S3, and the point that cable 2 cannot be used with Raveneye is stated on the page. So I was actually very confused after getting mine to work, wondering why wouldn't it. I do hope DJI can update their site after this is confirmed.
I'll try that out when I get to the studio, thanks for the heads up!
Every so often I'll set up the Ronin s with Raven and I and I cannot get the LCD to work when I'm using the raveneye
That is odd, I had that if I was in photo mode.
@@PhillipSkraba it's on C1 the LCD on the camera I mean. Apparently it just shuts off
Thanks. This is a good video for me as I am considering buying a DJI RSC2 and I have an Sony A7iii.
The DJI website doesn't list Sony A7iii in the list of compatible cameras. So, is this a hack? If it works, why DJI doesn't think its compatible?
Also, are you able to use Active track without issues with this combination? And any features that'll not be available for the A7iii? Lastly, the cables that you mentioned, do they come along with the combo pack or will need to be bought separately?
It should work, I use this with my A7III with no problems at all, the RSC 2 should work too. It should be listed as a compatible camera - Sony ILCE-7M3. Everything you need comes with the combo pack, sure.
Thanks so much for replying
Great video! Quick question - with a autofocus lens, can you simply tap anywhere in the app and will the camera autofocus to the spot you tapped to? Making it simple to autofocus on whatever area you touch?
Wondering this as well!!
Can anyone answer this??
I haven’t been able to get that to work, so I’m assuming everyones silence is a no, though it says in the compatibility sheet that “trigger focus” is a feature. Just noticed that.
I have a question? When I do all of this, I noticed that my camera isn’t autofocusing, am I missing something? Like the display on my Sony A7lll is blacked out?
The camera should auto focus, but yes, the screen will go black on the a7III when connected to a hdmi device I'm afraid.
I try to use multi cable but it says please use dedicated rss cable to use this feature..It won't let me take picture change anything on the phone but the raveneye screen comes up
Same setup as I'm using here?
Hi Phillip. Thx for the great tutorial! I have the Sony FX3, which is not a big difference in terms of setting it up. It all works, but the image transmission to the iPhone lags. What is a really pity, since then the gimbal also struggels to use the active track smooth. Have you experienced this before?
I have never had that problem, no. The only two things that come to mind are leaving bluetooth on, I think for it to be super smooth it should be turned off, and the other thing is the phone itself, is it a new phone, have you got 99% memory taken up by photos? The FX3 and the gimbal itself should be fine, so I'd try a different phone just to cross that off the list.
Very informative bro, great stuff! 💯💯💯
Thanks Piotr! I had a hell of a time getting to the bottom of this! Two CZcamsrs totally led me the wrong way so had to make this film as the manual you get in the box sucks 😂
Why does it say N/a for the 3 spots at the bottom? And how do you fix it?
Good one Phillip. I preordered also RS2 Pro combo in Finland still waiting for delivery. How do you like it so far? Cant wait to review mine!
Apart from taking forever to figure out how to connect to the Sony a7III, I think it's fantastic, I'm very impressed with it. I'll be dropping a few videos on it, that's for sure. You're going to love it!
@@PhillipSkraba looking forward to it. Yea can't wait! Also I need 3D focus device for my GH5 since there is no such thing called autofocus on my setup😂 I hope it will work well.
@@SonerBaysal I'm really looking forward to the 3D focus too! I have so many manual lenses, I collect them like crazy and can't wait to see how well it works!
Do you made this with a sport camera? Why you dont make close shots to the conectors, my camera is a canon i triyng to figure how to do this but no sense to don't making shots on ports connectors, wha a tutorial
I thought it was pretty clear what I was saying, but yes, sure, you're right, I could have done close ups. It's quite simple though, on the RS2 lower port is RavenEye power supply, top port is camera control, and then from the RavenEye connect the hdmi cable to the camera. It should work the same way with the Canon. Take a look a the compatibility list in the description and it'll tell you what control cable and hdmi cable to use for your specific camera.
Hi Phil
Thx a lot for this helpful tutorial. I‘m working with the a7rii / rsc2 / raven eye. And almost everything rocks....except the bloody sound. When i‘m filming i see the cam get some sound on ch1 an ch2 ...But the sound is not transferred to the app. All sequences are without sound. Which of these 1000 settings do I need to change? On the camera or the app? Thx for helping me🙏🏼
All is ok but video recording for phone memory.. please how is it solved
I suppose face detection is not working in the a7 III... ???
Whenever you connect a cable to the hdmi output on the Sony A7III you'll loose face detection I'm afraid.
I can’t see the image of my camera on my screen. It’s just completely black do you have any idea on why this happens?
What cable are you using to connect it, same as I have here?
Thanks! Can this film 4K to the camera while showing the live view on the phone? And does it leave the camera display on instead of switching to black?
Sure it can. On the A7III it'll go black on the camera screen I'm afraid.
Hi phillip, Thanks for your video it really helped me. but im still having issues with my sony a7iii. i did all the steps to coneck the reven eye with the app. i can control everything in the app iso record but i can't see the image in the phone. its just black and not displaying the image from the camara. any suggestion to fix this on the sony a7iii. thank you
There are two problems I know of that can cause this to happen. The first is proxies, you would have to turn them off. The second is the cable, it has to be the Sony Multi cable, with the usb-c cable you'll get a black screen.
Odd question ... but can you use the raveneye without the gimble ? I.e just to have your phone as a makeshift external monitor in a pinch.
I'm afraid as of this moment, no. Maybe in a future update.
I’m not getting any video feedback onto my phone, I’ve followed the steps but still nothing. It records, and recenters but no visuals
That is very odd, if all your cables are in the right holes like I've shown here, and they are the correct cables, it should work in video mode.
Hi Phillip, thank you so much for this video. i wonder if you can help, enable force is not responding, any idea?
HI Chen, you're welcome! Force Mobile?
@@PhillipSkraba yes on mobile Android phone
I've heard this before with Android, never with iPhone. Do you have the option to try a different phone to see if it could be your specific model?
sir i tried but my sony a7 3 is not connecting to raveneye properly there is black screen of moblie and camera also plz reply
Make sure you have the correct cables connected, and that you're in video mode. After that you should have a picture, the A73 screen will go black when recording though.
With Raveneye and Sony a7iii can we see camera screen as well as smartphone together when press record ?
I'm afraid not, that's the a7iii though. You connect a HDMI to it and you'll see everything until you press REC, then it'll go black.
@@PhillipSkraba yes thats why I just bought rs2 and not combo
I bought the Combo as I have G.A.S. 😂
@@PhillipSkraba I google it could not find G.A.S :) do you recommend any other camera which allow both monitor and camera screen when press record ?
Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I like filling my shelves with gear till they buckle under the pressure. Then I buy more shelves. The Sony a7siii and I think the a1 both now have that feature, but to tell you the truth I’ve learnt to live without it.
Hey Phillip ... my RS2 is just up and running but apparently you can use the small screen on the RS2 to track ... so you don’t need to use the phone to that. But in my brief look I could not draw point on the gimbal’s screen - any idea? Thanks for video!!! Great work.
Hi Roz, yes, the ability to draw and track on the screen was added a couple of days ago via an update using the app. So you need to connect the RS 2 to the app and update it. The update should automatically show up on the top of the app after a couple of minutes.
@Phillip I will give that a try ... really appreciate!
Hey, sorry, me again, does the IBIS work when connected to the raveneye?? Im on the fence of buying the raven eye or a monitor.
Yes, I think it does. It's not something I've ever checked to be honest, it's such a smooth ride I've never thought about it. The Raven Eye is excellent, I love using it.
@@PhillipSkraba Ohh ok haha, thanks for the answer!
Does the focus wheel work when you have the Raven Eye set up? I always hated that I couldn’t use the focus wheel on my RSC with an external monitor. Just trying to figure the optimal options.
Sure! The RS 2 is a completely different monster! Have you tried 3D focus yet?? That is incredible, and so fast ⚡️
is there no way to change aperture etc via phone?
Sure, but then the image goes black, so at the moment either control or image 😂🙈 Let's hope an update gets that sorted.
Wicked video man amazing I just got my gimbal it’s sitting on my table I will definitely message you if I need help
Thank You! You're going to love it, any problems, drop them here and I'll try to help.
have you tried this gimbal with a very light lens?
Sure! I've used it with my 35mm f2.8 Zeiss, no problems at all.
@@PhillipSkraba nice thanks, I know my Ronin S cannot do light lenses at all.
how is the delay on it? and would the RSC work the same? Thanks
I feel next to none, I think the RSC is pretty similar.
@@PhillipSkraba thanks for that
Hello Phillip!
I would like you to answer me a huge question please!
As I see on your video you have the RS2 Pro Combo that includes the Dji Focus Motor...
Did you try to use this focus motor to control the zoom ring of the Sony 24-70 f/2.8 GM lens?
I ask you this question because as we all know, this lens have a bit stiff zoom ring and needs more power to rotate, in relation to the zoom rings of other lenses.
I haven't no, anytime I try this with any of the electronic focus motors they really struggle, mind you this one seems super strong. The only focus motor that has no problem is the one Edelkrone makes, that's just a monster. I'll give it a go though, see if it can handle that ring, if it can, I'll include it in my video as I'm working on one for the focus motor.
@@PhillipSkraba Thanks mate ;)
Now, what they need is to allow a clean HDMI out of the Ronin app. I've installed Ronin app on my DJI Smart Controller and I can see the RavenEye appear on the Smart Controller and the Smart Controller has a HDMI output. Now... if Ronin app gave a clean HDMI out (no overlays) then I could connect the smart controller HDMI to my ATEM and have a wireless camera feed. Most obvious use would be for gimbal work on a live stream. Might be a little more latency but could be very usable.
That sounds like a pretty cool workaround! I had no idea the smart controller could connect to it! I’ll have to try that out.
@@PhillipSkraba Yeah, I just tried it. Bit of a clunky way to add apps on the Smart C (APK downloads) but it works and the controller sees the RavenEye's WIFI no problem.
That is really cool, will surely try that out!
i saw ur video and now 2023 still with a7iii and rs3 and raveneye when you connect usb c from camera to usb c gimbal top port you can do everything apperture iso shutter but black screen!! they force you to go either sony multi cable or Bluetooth and then you lose apperture iso shutter 😡😡😡
Hi Phillip, thanks for the great vid, Ive set up my Raven Eye exactly the way you have with my A7iii as well, the problem is that when its all ON and functioning the feed to the phone is good as well as the camera screen until i press RECORD is when I lose feed from camera screen, is this normal for the A7iii or what? if not what is it and do you know if theres a firmware update to fix it?
Hi! Yes, that's completely normal for the A7III. Anytime you connect a hdmi out and press REC the monitor will go black, so what I do is attach the phone on the RS 2 with the phone holder, it's a good way to keep an eye on your footage.
@@PhillipSkraba awesome thanks again Phillip
Im using the A7c which is very similar. My issue is that raveneye and camera control both work until I hit the record button. Then the phone goes black, so I lose my active track. 😔
Yes, I've heard this. Try hdmi auto in the camera settings, proxy needs to be off, and I think bluetooth off on the phone. I'm still not sure what causes this though, worth a try.
Is there a way to transmit the signal to a TV or monitor? Zhiyun has a receiver module that you can plug into anything, do you know if we have the same option with DJI?
I’ve tried looping it, I’m afraid it doesn’t work on any of my loop transmitter options. Phone mirroring maybe??
Great video Phillip,
I have the new Sony a7c and there is no more Sony multi plug !, just a USBC
and has you said, usbc to usbc gives me a blank screen 🤬
Have you found a solution?
Thanks again from Montréal, Québec
No way! You didn't get one?? I guess you have to buy one off the site in that case, otherwise it won't work with this firmware at the moment, maybe in the future. Greetings right back at you from Poland!
Thanks a lot Phillip,
Much appreciated
The Subskraba button. That's GOLD!
That IS gold!!
Amazing!! How many devices can i connect?
It looks like it only takes one, which is a shame. However, you can most probably attach a monitor with loop out and still use the RavenEye to send the signal to your phone.
Hi Phil, At 9:16 you show the various LUTs you have available on mobile device. One of those LUTs is the Fujifilm F-Log.cube. Does this mean that you also have a FujiFilm camera? If yes, what camera do you have and have you tested it with RS 2 and RavenEye?
Hi Donald, those are actually built into the app. I'm afraid I'm Sony all the way when it comes to my mirrorless.
@@PhillipSkraba Hi Phil, Thanks for the quick reply. I took the plunge, fingers crossed, that an RS 2 would work with a FujiFilm X-T3. I can report that it all works as expected. The only issue that I ran into was an error message from the X-T3 stating that 4k was incompatible with the connected device--RavenEye. But this was resolved when I changed the HDMI output from the X-T3 to the RavenEye to 1080P. Don Barar
@@donaldbarar6877 That's great Don! The RS 2 is an excellent choice of gimbal, good to know it's working well for you. I can't wait for the 3D focus module, that will really turn it into a beast!
Hi, thank you for your review ! But it still not working in my side, everything is connected but I'm not able to see any image. Did you face this problem ?
Check if you have CTRL for HDMI turned on and make sure you're using the Sony Multi cable. It should work if you have CTRL with smartphone turned OFF and USB turned to remote. Let me know if you get it working.
Why my camera screen turned black 😭 I did everything you said.
That sounds like the wrong cable, or you're not in video mode.

Appreciate the video, I am still having issues. In usb connection I only get the option for mass storage, and mtb? Hopefully updates would be coming soon.
That's impossible, on the Sony A7III? What camera are you using? There are no other options?? Let me know, it's really odd.

How To Set Up DJI RAVENEYE on the RS2 for the Sony A7C ? pls tell me , ths idol
It should be pretty similar, all Sony cameras use the same cable, you can check in the description I have a link to the compatibility list, it will define what you need.
@@PhillipSkraba Thanks idol , i see list but not have a7c , so i want to ask u if u had checked
@@PLGBSS No, I'm afraid not, I don't own it, though would love it in my kit!

The way I’ve shown in this video is the way you do it. You’ll be set up to take photos and videos.
thanks for the vid how about connect reven eye with gimble little screen?
Doing this process that I've shown here you have also connected it to the small gimbal screen, just pull down on the screen and there should be the live feed. If there is a person on the screen, tap on them and active track will turn green.

@@gfamily7089 Anytime!
New subscriber your video was helpful, my question is about the focus motor that comes with the raveneye. I cannot set the hard stops for my lens and it pulls the lens physically up when it reaches the end of the range for the lens. Is there a calibration option to set the hard stops that I am missing?
Hi Joe. So, I have the same problem, and I wanted to do a video on how to setup your follow focus, but not being able to calibrate the front wheel is a pain as like you said it just pulls the lens physically and tries to destroy my camera. Hopefully they'll update this, it's super annoying. With the focus wheel, so that silly contraption that was on the Ronin S, you CAN calibrate a mechanical lens with hard stops, and not only that, you can set A and B stops! With the front wheel this is what DJI write - "The motor does not require calibrating when the front dial is used to control the focus motor." So that's odd, hopefully something we'll see fixed when the 3D focus is finally on sale. If you get to the bottom of this, let me know, if not, I'll drop a video as soon as I get this working. I really appreciate the sub!
@@PhillipSkraba thanks for the reply, hopefully the issue will be resolved soon I look forward to to an update from DJI
Hey Phil, thanks for this video. Good info on the Raveneye!
I have a question: Are you able to control the focus with the front wheel on the A7M3? I have the problem with an external monitor on HDMI and Sony multi cable on USB, that the HDMI turns black when using both at the same time. The Raven Eye could be the way to go (despite the fact, that I would rather chose an external HDMI monitor over a smartphone).
Thank You! Yes, I can control the focus, you need to set what the wheel does on the gimbal screen and it should pull focus. I am working on a video all about the focus and focus motor for this. You need to be running the Sony Multi, yes, and the screen will go black when you press Rec. This is a downside to the a7III. The monitor should work though, do both the monitor and Sony go black?
@@PhillipSkraba only the HDMI goes black. That's very frustrating, when operating on a gimbal with external monitor with False Color, Waveform, and stuff. It wouldn't bother me, when the Sony monitor turned off. I'm hoping for a A7m3 firmware update.
Hey Philip!
I'm using the RS2 and RavenEye with the Bmpcc6k.
Took me a while to realize which cable goes where (only power and hdmi, because I don't think I can control my bmpcc6k with the gimbal),
But more surprisingly, when trying to connect the RavenEye, the app actually tells you it's gonna disconnect the gimbal from the app, and leaves you only with the screen. Not that it's a problem, but I don't reallt get it and feels like i'm missing something.
Also, they recommend disabling the Cellular Data and Bluetooth to avoid interruptions.
What do you think?
Hi Tal! So you have the cables in the right places, I like I showed in this video, right? Camera control is over rated haha, ignore it till they get it working correctly. So, you connect to RavenEye and you have no image? Have you set your hdmi out to auto on the BM?
@@PhillipSkraba
I have an image! I just don't get this message that says it's disconnecting the gimbal in order to connect to raven eye.
Also, I was very disappointed hearing from DJI we can't change the direction of the focus pulling with the built-in dial, but only with the additional focus wheel.
The whole point is how nice it is to pull focus for yourself right where the built in dial is.
Well, you don't have these troubles with the Sony AF I guess..
That is odd then. Sony AF is out of this world, but I also have a huge collection of vintage lenses, so I'm waiting for the 3D focus module, and I hope they drop an update so we can change the direction of the wheel!
This is why with a7c and a7riv and even a7siii people have issues and on a7c there is no multi connector anymore but only usb-c. However some people found some work around and the latest update from dji prevent having to switch cable from 2nd to thir connector on the gimbal.. A guy with a7siii also had black screen and simply changed the output hdmi to 1080p instead of 4k. Some people on a7c have found some work around, by disconecting the usb-c changing parameters and reconnecting the cable..it is not clear..but it is has to be reapplied to each time you start the camera and gimbal. but the question is why the usb-c protocol interfere with the output of the hdmi on all sony cameras a7sIII, a7riv, a7c, a7III, Maybe a futur update of both Sony and dji will fix this issue. Doubtful. I have a7c but don’t have the rsc2 with raven eye, so i cannot test.
That sounds very frustrating! DJI updated the Ronin S this way, it was first the Sony multi cable then it was the usb-c cable, so let's hope they do something for all the usb-c only Sony cameras out there!
Hey Phillip !
1. Thanks for this tutorial :) , I have nearly the exact same setup,
2. I am not able to get the raveneye to broadcast wifi, the raveneye stays red, do you have any troubleshooting advice ?
I followed the Power on sequence and double checked my cables (tried other replacements too). I see the "Connecting USB" message pop up on the A73 but I do not see the raveneye turn blue, and I am unable to connect to the raveneye.
Thanks !
I figured it out !
Goto Menu>Briefcase>Setup3(pg3/7)>HDMI Settings>CTRL FOR HDMI>On
Oh yea, that needs to be turned on!! Good thing you got to the bottom of if, have fun Jordan!
Hi Phillip, great video! Followed all the steps you mentioned, yet I'm still having issues with the raveneye: when I connect the raveneye to the app, it disconnects the gimbal and I can't use the force control, joystick or tracking. The app tells me that it will disconnect the gimbal when connecting to the raveneye.
I'm using the Sony A7III (with the settings that you've mentioned in the video), all the correct cables are connected properly and I am getting a video transmission on the app.
Does anyone know how ti fix this?
I'm using the RSC2 btw, don't know if that makes a difference
That is odd! Is everything updated including the A7III?
That could possibly make a difference! I don't have the RSC 2, so not 100% sure!
Hi I am using sony a7riii i connected all the connection properly while i on the camera my camera display gone black and in mobile preview is also not working... please anyone help me .... i used sony multi cable and mini hdmi to hdmi i connected all perfect. my camrera version 3.10. If anyone there please help
That is an odd one, try to turn off proxies and see if filming in 1080p turns it on, just for an experiment.
Hi all !. I'm struggling with my new RSC-2, Raveneye and my NikonZ6 camera. I connected all the cables based on this video and others. The problem I have is that in the shutter parameter of the Ronin app I can only select 'cache'. No way to select shoot nor shoot+cache. And then I found a message saying the 'camera control cable is disconnected' .. which seems to explain why I cannot select the shoot option of the shutter. But the cable is connected ! What I found out is that when I turn the RSC-2 on, I can immediately see the shoot options available and no error message about control cable disconnected. But after 15 seconds, the shoot options become grey and I have the message back about camera control cable disconnected. And this is repeatable. I checked all the cables and the ports where they are connected. All is OK. I also checked the camera parameters about USB parameters ... but did not really find anytthing helpful. Could that be an hardware or software bug between the RSC-2 and my Nikon Z6 ?
Anyone having experience with connecting the RSC-2 to a Nikon Z6 and having no problem with the control càble ? Thanks for any help ! Looking forward to getting any advice !
So, you're using the USB-C cable, that's the one you need for the Nikon Z6, and you also need to have live view enabled all the time for this to work. Apart from that it's close to impossible for me to help you as I switched to Sony a couple of years ago. I was a Nikon fan boy for about 20 years, the A7III stole me away. I hope you get to the bottom of this, if you do, let me know so I'll be able to forward this to anyone with a similar problem.
@@PhillipSkraba thanks ! I'll let you know what I will find out ! And maybe I'll move to Sony as well !
@@06baou Sony was a good move for me, I'm very happy with that decision. Nikon was in a different place back then, I was trying to film with the D850, that was a nightmare. I've heard the Z6 and Z7 are great, but I'm pretty happy where I am right now in regards to gear. The Sony a7III series cameras really do an incredible job.
how do i make it work on my canon 70d?
I’m afraid I don’t own any Canon cameras so I won’t be any help with that. Sorry about that.
Hey Phillip, which cage are you using? Also, do you know how to use the scroll wheel for electronic manual focus with rs2 and a7iii or no?
Hi! I'm using the 8Sinn cage, it's a hottie 🔥 Sure, set your lens to AF, change the function on the RS2 to focus pull and you're away. I'll be dropping a video on this subject very soon.
Ok cool! Thank you!
@@KarsonsChannel No problem!
Hi, reveneye only works when gimbal is in sleep mode... ronin rsc2.. can anyone help me ? Please.
That is very odd, have you plugged in all the correct cables in the correct places?
@@PhillipSkraba Probably yes. But it seems that the Sony a6400 is not compatible :/ I have to take out the cable that allows me to control the camera via mobile (shutter release etc..) In that case I have to switch on the shutter release on the camera..
Can I use this on A7ii
You'd have to check out the compatibility chart, but I'm guessing so.
I purchased the RSC 2 pro kit last week. I hunted thru all the cables and it seems there's one missing to complete a Raveneye setup using the z7. I need a USB C to USB C, a longer one. The short one with the angled connection is already used to get to power to the Raveneye. Have other z7/z6 users encountered this?
Oh no way, what a shame! I hope they send you one over free of charge!
@@PhillipSkraba I'm not holding my breath on that, but thanks for the sentiment!
@@scottweaverphotovideo I guess fastest way is to go to the computer shop and pick one up. Who knows, they might be nice enough to send you one.
Hey Phillip, is there a lock mode on the RS2 like the zhiyun crane 2? For keeping it straight when walking down long hallways?
Sure, you have the custom mode where you can choose which motors to lock. You can set that to custom mode and you'll have the pan locked, you can lock any motors you wish to keep it straight.
@@PhillipSkraba Thank you!
@@KarsonsChannel Anytime!
Does active track also handle autofocus?
Yes it does.
