Matthew Marshall Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Basically thoughts and possible difficulties of this? Cinemilled offers an adapter which forgoes the need for a sled, just DJI Ronin with its stabilization straight to the armpost adapter.Pictures and video from the Cinemilled Site.http://vimeo.com/105086034 From: Cinemilled It seems to have lowmode ability as well. Looks like a good idea to me. For the more advanced operators. Would this work with a cheaper vest and armpost setup something offbrand. Any manufacturing deficiencies or precision due to not being Tiffen Steadicam should easily be compensated by the DJI Ronin itself I would think. *edit - nevermind that, they have recommended weight restrictions either way the X-10 looks to be the best bet. Looking to use this instead of a typical steadicam rig for more versatility. Thanks in advance! ---Alternately to save money I can get different weight springs. Thoughts on taking out existing springs from the merlin steadicam arm and vest and putting new ones in for heavier weight. --- Edited September 13, 2014 by Matthew Marshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Ryan Brooks Posted September 14, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Can you tilt down or up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Marshall Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I believe with the DJI ronin you can.At least one way based off whats on the site is stabilized pan and tilt using the supplied 2nd controller. So a second operator can control it using the brushless motors.Yes I read further down the page. Smooth Track tuning allows you to pan and tilt so in theory yes. Let me check cinemilled.I dont see anything about it. Upon further inspection it may not since its attached directly to the arm. Great input, ill email them and make certain. Thanks exactly the questions I was looking for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Delbanco Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 You can tilt the camera stage up and down, and tilt left and right. All that is done by another operator with a remote control of some sort. It can also be controlled by a joystick on the gimbal itself, though it is common for there to simply be another operator.

Matthew Marshall Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yes well as of right now im a one man show.Regardless im attempting to get this setup. I'll write a laymans review for everyone of all of it put together.DJI Ronin + Steadicam Merlin arm and vest (looking into this. if anyone has suggestions for a cheap well put together heavy duty more than 20 lb arm and vest post let me know)Will add sled at a later date, something like that XD.

Premium Members Stew Cantrell Posted September 27, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Does this only work with the Ronin, or would it also work with other gimbals like the movi? I have a friend who owns a movi and wants me to buy an adaptor to put it on my arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Marshall Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 As far as I can tell her its made for the ronin only. Fits right on its connector to the top bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
