The DJI RSC 2 doesn’t reinvent the gimbal. Broadly speaking, it’s a sculpted grip topped by a three-axis array of motorized arms. But look more closely and you’ll spot several significant changes compared to the Ronin-SC. Otherwise, like the other Ronin’s and the larger RS 2, the RSC 2 is designed to stabilise your footage, and that it does with incredible effect, as long as you don’t try to push its limits. Build and Handling The DJI RSC 2 seemed to find the correct level well, and any fears that the slightly ruff ground would start the gimbal off slightly was dismissed. The rubber elements on the handle are also subtler than those found on the Ronin-SC, with a smoother texture that’s neatly integrated yet offers a good amount of grip.
Deși mai pliabil decât versiunea anterioară, ai mai multe moduri în care poți filma. DJI RSC 2 este atât de versatil încât îți oferă 6 configurații posibile de filmare. Pliat, stabilizatorul încape într-un spațiu cu latura de aproximativ 19cm. Specificații A deep breath, rebalance, and all was fine, at least with the stabilisation, the sun, however, had gone, and the runner and I decided to call it a day. The conditions were generally good, and finding a dry patch of level ground; it was easy enough to set up the camera and get the gimbal balanced. I liked the carbon fibre look of the RSC 2, but as I was reviewing the two gimbals, it became apparent that metal, at least, in this case, was the better material.With the RSC 2, set[-up is relatively easy, and the arm adjustment and camera balance were all straightforward enough. With the DJI RSC 2 you are less reliant on the DJI mobile app for settings changes, as it comes with a 1-inch OLED display and controls for menu navigation. (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World) Of course, when it comes to using a gimbal, you have to consider that there are all sorts of situations and locations where they will be used.
Once completed with the usual progressive balance of one arm before moving on to the next, the DJI RSC 2 was ready to fire up. Performance For straight forward gimbal tasks, the RSC proves that it has what it takes to be a decent gimbal, and while my movements in the first test are relatively slow it gives me time to get a feel for the layout and control. A gimbal is only as good as its operator in the end, but with DJI’s new Titan image stabilisation system, the DJI RSC 2 can produce super-smooth footage even in the hands of amateurs, with only a hint of wobble with run and gun filming (you need to perfect that special gimbal ‘crouch’ as you walk).As the smaller of the two new Ronin releases, the DJI RSC 2 is my prefered option. OK, it doesn’t have the big payload, and you do need to be a little more precise with the balancing, but ultimately, it’s a very accomplished gimbal. The reason it wins over the larger RS 2? Well, that’s solely down to the ease of balancing. I found balancing the RS2 often painful due to the carbon, whereas here with the RSC 2, that adjustment was smooth and easy; what a difference. What is the DJI RSC 2? As with the Ronin-SC, the Ronin app is a comprehensive partner to the RSC 2. It allows you to configure the function of the three available mode slots on the RSC 2, enabling or disabling individual axis motors and customizing parameters such as follow speed. The 3kg payload means that it should take most small DSLR and Mirrorless cameras; however, it’s worth allowing a bit of a weight buffer unless you’re highly skilled at balance. There are two features that, for me, really boost the RSC above most other gimbals on the market at present, the first is the wheel positioned by your index finger. This can be linked into the optional follow focus accessory and enables full manual control. Its position is spot on, and this feature alone makes me like this gimbal.
But then is a beginner going to be trying those more advanced shots with the gimbal? Probably not. DJI RSC 2 Review Final thoughts The DJI RSC 2 builds on the Ronin-SC in all the right ways. Steady shots and smooth controls were pretty much a given, but it’s the subtle design changes that make the RSC 2 a much improved stabilizing option for vloggers and videographers. The RSC 2 comes with camera connectors so that you can stop and start recording with a button on the gimbal handle. Not all cameras are supported, however, and Olympus fans get a raw deal with only the E-M1 II supported. (Image credit: Rod Lawton/Digital Camera World) It’s small, light and has two stands out features in the focus wheel (Follow Focus accessory required) and the hinge. However, while it’s pitched at the more entry-level user, you actually need a great level of skill to use this than the larger model as it’s far less forgiving.
The result of this additional versatility is, unsurprisingly, that the RSC 2 is even more capable when it comes to delivering a stable platform for your camera. According to DJI, there’s a newly optimized Titan algorithm which ‘smooths out the fine details’– and that certainly bears out in practice.
