The DJI Ronin-SC Gimbal Stabilizer
brings many improvements over its predecessor, the Ronin-S, with this
smaller and lighter stabilized, three-axis single-handle gimbal,
designed for small mirrorless cameras under 4.4 lb. Though the Ronin-SC
is smaller, it packs an abundance of features, design enhancements, and
technology inside its compact form. The gimbal features stabilization,
pan, tilt, and roll control, as well as 360° continuous panning to
create steady 3D/360° motion shots.
On its own, the gimbal weighs only 2.4 lb, so it is ultra-portable and
makes it easier to hold the gimbal with a mounted camera for longer
periods. It features two locking modes for balancing your camera
and for storage. The sliding quick-release camera plate makes it easy
to rebalance your camera after you've moved to a new location—balance
your camera in the balancing lock position, unmount your camera with the
plate, put the gimbal in storage mode and travel, take the gimbal out
and remount your camera, unlock and turn the gimbal on and voilà, your
camera will still be balanced.
The Ronin-SC features a record button and a joystick for precise gimbal
control, as well as a re-center front trigger button to bring the gimbal
back to its default position. There is also an M button that you can
press and hold to enter Sport Mode, which provides a fast-tracking
response when recording action sequences. Using the Android or iOS app
over Bluetooth 5.0, Active Track 3.0 has been updated to help users
track a subject with the gimbal without having to use any controls at
all. Another handy function is DJI's Force Mobile, which allows you to
control your gimbal's motion when it's mounted on a rig or tripod using
the gyroscope of your smartphone, allowing you to perform more precise
gimbal movements using your natural motion. Other built-in features
include time-lapse and motion-lapse modes.
The Ronin-SC is powered by a 2450mAh rechargeable 18650 LiPo battery
built into its handle, which lasts up to 11 hours on a single charge. It
is charged via a USB Type-C port and can also provide camera control
such as run/stop or focus pulling using one of the included multiport
USB cables connected to a compatible camera. There are also 1/4"-20 and
3/8"-16 mounting threads on the handle to add accessories such as the
included smartphone holder.
Also included with the Ronin-SC are an extended grip/tripod, camera
riser, lens support, port cover, Allen wrench, quick release plate with
1/4"-20 camera mounting screw, an M4 screw, a multicamera USB control
cable, a multicamera USB Type-C control cable, a USB Type-C charging
cable, a USB Type-C to micro-USB adapter, and a storage case.
