    nice video for sure! though i will never ever understand - why they didnt make the hand grip have a rosette attachment - why they didn't use lemo cables - why they don't let us adjust the position of motor rod clamp - why they didnt just put a screw hole into the lidar so ppl can easily use noga arms like everyone has been doing for years with cinetapes etc like they are just barely missing out on a much larger client base

    Hello great video. Unfortunately I have a problem. I have my setup as follows: dji RS4 Pro, Lidar Pro, focus motor pro on a Fuji xh2s with an Irix Cine lens on a cage I have calibrated the focus motor. In manual mode the lights on the lidar and motor are permanently red and I can focus with the gimbal wheel. However, when I switch to automatic mode, the lidar lights up green and the motor yellow. Although I have already calibrated. What could be the problem? I look forward to your feedback. Also from the community BR Tim from Germany

    • @chrisherr
      @chrisherr 20 днів тому

      With the force pro on a fluid head I keep the strength up, if I'm hand holding it I'll drop it down a bit just because it can pick up too many of the little micro jitters. But if you want those jitters then keep the strength up. It sort of acts like smoothing when you lower strength.

    I rented a ronin 2 earlier this month for the first time and it was so much more difficult to use than the RS series gimbals. Changing the settings were so different and not having a joystick on the gimbal was strange. It was however nice to be able to balance a heavy setup with no counter weights and no struggle from the motors

    • @chrisherr

      Eh, vega, mantis and ronin is about $15,000 brand new. Steadicam with a volt is going to be $40,000 +. And with the Ronin 2 you also get a remote head, the ability to hand it off during a shot, dolly mounting, dual operated hand held etc etc.

      This is true, we'll be doing more comparisons soon. But the Mantis does give you other benefits outside of just stabilizing the Z axis. Larger boom range, easier adjustments of tension, ability to mount to a variety of rigs, easy rig, speedrail, ready rig etc.
