The Ronin-SC is just meant for a whole different category of cameras. Same goes with other bigger cameras like the Canon 1DX. A viable workaround covered here suggests using some weights on the shorter side of the gimbal to balance it out, even though it may not be the best solution in the long run. The BMPCC 4K, on the other hand, tends to be hard to balance on most gimbals, and the Ronin-SC is no exception. For example, a Sony A7RIII paired with a Sony FE G Master 135mm seem to be perfectly fine on the Ronin-SC, whereas the same setup with the 70-200mm turned out to be too heavy. DJI states that Ronin-SC payload is 4.4lbs, quite a jump from the 7.9lbs of the Ronin-S, almost a cut in half.Ī couple of tests made with different combos of lenses and cameras covered in the video show results that were more or less expected. Naturally, with the smaller size comes a payload reduction. The main lock under the baseplate is also upgraded, there is now one single-clicking screw to hold on everything. An upgrade feature you’ll instantly notice while setting up the Ronin-SC is that it comes with locks on each axis which makes balancing much easier and quicker. NOW.Īt first look, the two siblings seem quite similar, the SC looks like a shrunk version of the Ronin-S. So, let’s take a look at this comparison made by MAKE. Besides size and some minor details, however, the two counterparts have a lot in common. In essence, DJI Ronin-SC is a smaller gimbal aimed to lighter mirrorless cameras having a smaller footprint and payload compared to the bigger brother, the Ronin-S. Moza, Zhiyun and an endless list of cheap Chinese knock-offs have made choosing a gimbal a tough choice, despite the fact that filmmakers now have more options than ever.

Leading gimbal maker DJI recently introduced the Ronin-SC, their latest offering in a market segment full of raging competitors. There’s a new kid on the block ready to rock the boat.
