    Hello Brandon, I can not believe DJI did not include their "3D Focus System" that works with the RS2 for you to evaluate. Your energetic shooting style would be a perfect match for their amazing step forward that enables manual focus photo lenses and cinema style manual lenses to become accurate autofocus lenses. I believe it is a massive game changer for gimbal users and the accessibility to lenses it opens up with Cinema Primes makes the purchase of a DJI RS2/ 3D Focus System a complete no brainer. I hope they get one into your hands asap so we can see it ran thru it's paces at real world energetic speeds like you shoot. The 3D Focus System is lens/camera agnostic so all us suffering Panasonic shooters have hope on the horizon. Making my Cine Style Primes and MFT Anamorphic lenses autofocus capable is worth the price of admission when coupled with such a capable gimbal like the RS2. Please call DJI back and tell them to let you evaluate the 3d Focus System with the RS2 (it does not work with the RSC2).

    There’s one really valuable feature in the Zhiyun gimbals that I would really like to see DJI add: the ability to hold the trigger down when in Pan Follow mode, and twinkle the trigger is held, you can tilt the camera. For most of my shooting, I like Pan Follow, but occasionally during a shot, I need to tilt up or down, and the joystick is just not as good as this temporary switch to Pan Tilt Follow mode. Otherwise I am very happy with my Ronin RSC 2.

    For the RSC 2, there is a hole on top of the opened handle(as seen in 9:53) where you can screw the tripod handle in upside down, to use the gimble as briefcase mode, it's a lot more stable. Also, like the RS2, you can actually use activetrack without a phone by pressing the trigger button once, but you just can't see what you're tracking. It will just track whatever subject in the middle. You still need raveneye turned on and HDMI cable connected.

I am curious about what you will choose to do personally. Will you move to a Ronin RS2, or will you continue to use the Icecam Tiny 3 Ultravision? The Icecam still seems more your style, just because of its incredibly compact size; or has DJI done enough to tempt you to switch?
