About this deal

Gimbals typically rely on a companion smartphone app for additional settings and adjustments as there’s not a whole lot of space for controls on the handle. The RSC 2 does, however, have a 1-inch OLED screen and a menu control wheel for accessing many of the settings directly. On one outing, when the light went too low in a rush, I didn’t balance the camera correctly. Not enough for it to not work on slow, considered motion, but push the speed and. The demands on the motors and the shake in the balance started to show. 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. 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 RSC 2, as I said earlier, feels refined, it’s what you want, and nothing shows this more than the position of the rear arm. DJI has designed this to drop below the base of the screen when used in the standard position.

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 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? 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). 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.

As for the new OLED screen, it’s a simple but transformative addition. Where the Ronin-SC’s trio of LED indicators required you to remember how you’d programmed each mode, the RSC 2 uses its 1-inch OLED to display which mode you’re in, what that mode does, the panning speed and the available battery life. The readout strikes an ideal balance, serving up just enough info to add clarity, without cluttering the interface. And it doesn’t try to be too smart: if you want to adjust settings, you’ll need to dive into the Ronin app. DJI RSC 2 smart connectivity and presets 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.

The slightest mistake as you take a corner and the RSC 2 is far more likely to whip as it hits the limits of its rotations. It’s not that the gimbal itself is not doing the job; it’s more that it’s far less forgiving than the bigger model. Double-tapping the mode button switches the gimbal to portrait mode. There’s no active axis control in this setting; instead, the camera is held dead steady and pointing straight ahead, allowing you to shoot smooth content in the ideal orientation for social media. The compact Sony 24-70mm is relatively compact, and while there is a little weight shift as you zoom the lens, it’s not too great, and the RSC manages to handle the difference without issue. The RSC 2 also requires a little more skill to use, but at the same time I like the simplicity. As ever, the gimbal is only part of the story, and while good on it’s own, this film making tool only becomes complete once you add the Follow Focus. 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.

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) DJI RSC 2 este stabilizatorul compact care îți va oferi rezultate demne de cele mai înalte standarde profesionale. Creat pentru aparate mirrorless și DSLR-uri de dimensiuni reduse, DJI RSC 2 se pliază ușor și are caracteristici intuitive pentru a da energia necesară creației, fie că este vorba de videografi sau vloggeri. Setting up the RS 2, there was a small battle with each arm adjustment to find that perfect balance. Herewith the RSC 2, there’s still a little resistance, but it’s far easier. 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. 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.Using the DJI RSC for gentle hallway glides provides little that raises any concerns. The motors correct my wobble and some careful footwork on my behalf manages to smooth out any bob as I walk. My original Ronin-S, now a few years old and well worn, has finally succumbed to easy adjustment, or at least I’ve become so used to it that it all seems to slot into position perfectly. \ 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 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. 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.

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 DJI RSC 2 gimbal is a good choice for first-time DSLR and mirrorless movie makers, but it has professional potential too

It may be the little sibling to the excellent RSC 2 but I prefer it by a mile. The full metal construction might not be as stunning or sleek as the carbon fibre of the RS 2 but it is far more functional. It sounds like common sense, but so many gimbals cover the screen in this position, here it’s clear and easy to see. Especially if you’re using a Sony Alpha with that ridiculous tilt-only screen 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
