Thing seems to be really good but the gimbal motors don't work well with a light camera after balancing. Balancing is really difficult and the DJI Ronin app instructions are terrible. Youtube is your friend when it comes to this. Ronin SC is a cool toy but I had to return it because it is not compatible with my outdated Sony A5100 firmware; However, please note that this is not the reason for my rating the review. I bought it on sale and decided to give it a try. With the A5100 I was able to get it working with the remote shutter release using the Sony Imaging Edge app, but this kills both the phone and camera battery. Again, this is my problem, which is not related to the product. Even without a proper interface, movements were choppy and the gimbals seemed to struggle with my ultra-lightweight A5100/SEL35F18 combo. If you wish to use it with a similar case as the A6000 series, please note that you will need to attach a mounting plate adapter plate which requires a flat head screwdriver to install/remove. Even if it worked with my camera, I would return it for that reason alone. I don't like having to use a screwdriver to switch between my tripod mounting plate and that awful gimbal. I also don't like the fact that every time I change lenses it requires realignment. I highly recommend this stabilizer if you are serious about blogging and have a custom body/lens set up to stay on the stabilizer all the time. even then, an additional gimbal battery is required. This is a cool toy, but I would strongly advise against it if you're a fan of casual games.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel

Difficult to setup, heavy to lift and maneuver in one hand.
