RED V-Raptor X on DJI Ronin RS4 Pro: Will it Balance?

- This video is at the request of a viewer, and it's VERY quick and dirty. My apologies for the hectic and unplanned footage. Also, technically this video shows the RS3 Pro, but the max payload is the same on both models, and actually the new RS4 Pro actually has stiffer motors, so the positive result holds for both gimbals. Cheers everybody!

I can feel the pain in your back through this video :)
My back is fine! But my arms definitely get tired on longer takes with this setup.
Totally looks like it’s gonna brake any seconds
@@mattiapalombi1597 what do you mean? Everything is sturdy and reliable in practice.
Wow that was fast! Thank you for doing that! That’s very helpful. I need to do more research on the DJI stuff I guess. But the U-shaped handle… is that part of the RS3? Before I’ve just seen the single stick handle grip that people have. I foresee using a gimbal in some tight spaces in a small room so I’m hope to minimalist the gimbal rig. Thanks again for the video!
I mentioned it in the video. That is the Tilta advanced gimbal ring. I like using just the bottom half as shown. You will usually see it in photos with the complete ring that goes over the top as well.
I love the gear setup in your great video!
I defenetly whould think about how to put away the weights from hands to body and legs.
I’ve tried several. Easyrig, Stradicam, and Readyrig types of systems. At the end of the day I don’t like any of them when I’m the one operating. If I want support, I’ll put it on a jib. Otherwise for shorter takes, I prefer to hold this setup.
Hi Nick, thanks for sharing all of your setup ideas, I love it! Can I ask you what is the block on the back of the battery you have on the camera?
Wireless Backpack, see my previous video :-)
@@nick_salazar Ok found it! Wow you're pretty good at 3D printing and design. I like that solution!
So how does one power the ring without the top half. I see you have a battery mounted to the ring and the power accessory mount but no cables between the two. If you have a battery on the camera, can that battery power the ring via a D-tap cable from the camera battery? Or do you need to directly mount a battery to the ring via a the tilta battery mount? Also curious what adapter you got there that you have the 15mm rod clamped to for the red monitor. Thanks for the help Nick!
The battery mount on the ring is wired directly into the gimbal inside the bottom half of the ring. There are wires inside. The top ring is wired as well and contacts via the pogo pins, but would be used as power OUT to accessories, and is not necessary for power in. I don’t have any external wires powering the gimbal. It’s the battery on the lower half of the ring.
I’m wondering if there is a quick release plate, adapter or option that would make switching back-and-forth between a tripod and the gimbal super easy? I have the red quick release plate, so I’m not sure if there is an adapter for easy switching between that and the Ronan gimbal 🤔
Yes. The plates that work for Ronin gimbals are manfrotto sized dovetails. There is a small difference on the plate bottom such that the retention features aren’t identical. But they will clamp on any plate with Manfrotto standards.
Love the content. Just earned a subscriber. Can you speak to easy rig set up with this set up you have? Can it be done?
Thanks! If I were putting this on an Easyrig I’d either use a crossbar and grip the two sides, or replace the top half of the ring and grip the top. I don’t presently have an easyrig though so I can’t show you.
Do you have the Enhanced Highlight mode enabled on your few sample footage shots ?
Nope! That’s all standard mode so far.
Hey Nick. I tried a bunch of gimbal solutions, even the tilta float but decided on the half tilta ring like you have. Having the grips level with the camera is so key to have center of gravity at grip level rather than right a top-heavy rig. In any case I have one question, what slick looking mounting plate did you put on top of the ring for your 15mm rod for the monitor. I need that and then I think I will have my setup finally together. Minus the lidar focus which is still coming.
It's a custom job, I made a video about it a while back: czcams.com/video/p5b56PK4aUU/video.html - happy watching 🙂
@@nick_salazar sorry I mean the monitor attachment on the top left of the ring itself. It looks like you have something on the top of the ring post itself (immediately above the left handle grip on the ring) that is a plate or something that holds your 15mm rod that your SmallHD monitor attached to?
That’s just a NATO rail with rod clamp. Smallrig makes them. The ring has a nato clamp which grips the rail, then the rail grips the rod, and the monitor mounts to the rod using my custom Plastic Fantastic clamp which you can see at www.fzerocamera.com/plastic
@@nick_salazarit looks like you also have a cap that screws onto the top of the title ring above the grip?
@@RepaireroftheBreach that's included with the gimbal ring.
This is really cool . Why did you choose the V raptor instad an Alexa Mini LF ?
Great question. Several reasons. More compact rigging, integrated monitor (fewer dangling cables), lighter overall setup, compatibility with all my RF lenses, compatibility with my existing CFExpress B media, compatibility with my existing batteries, and finally, the financing RED offered at the time. The total cost for this setup is about 60% less than what the comparable Alexa Mini LF setup would have been.
Yes, thank you. i was waiting for someone to try this i like seeing if a new product can work well with another new product. Now i know red v raptor x can balance on dji rs4 i need to start saving! Lol 😂
The original V-Raptor is every bit as good, and it seems like everyone is starting to offload them in favor of the new model (like I did … guilty). So maybe you’ll be able to pick one up at a good price if you look long enough :-)
How comes you use a mount with the Nisi lens ?
Those are the PL versions of the lenses. So to use them on RF bodies requires an adapter.
how come Nisi wide ones work with breakthrough mount?
Because ... math! Athenas need 25mm of clearance. The Breakthrough DFM provides 27.
This is for the RS3PRO NOT THE RS4PRO there to completely different cameras my friend.
They're not cameras at all. They're gimbals. And if something fits on the RS3 Pro then it will ALSO fit on the RS4 pro, as mentioned in the video description. Most people are searching about this question in relation to the RS4 Pro, which is why it's in the title. But the video is applicable to both gimbals.
