Review on DJI Ronin SC Single Handed Stabilizer Mirrorless by Eric Surabhi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mixed feelings about this

Pros first: looks really cool! Very well built. The motor controls and app are fantastic. Very sensitive to your movements once you have entered your personal settings. The normal balayage motion settings are just a starting point. You need to find the right reaction moves for you. Did I mention how great the app is? Wow, great job DJI. Cons: Difficult for Canon mirrorless cameras. The Canon connectors are on the right side, so it's difficult to insert the cable properly without hitting it from the side. I had to buy two adapters to make it work. Also the Video Response button on Canon isn't that great, that's probably due to adapters again, but I don't have a choice due to bad design on Canon. Balancing is not as easy as they make it out to be. A knob to rotate would be better than manually pressing the sliders. Also, he finds it difficult to keep his balance even in a session. I often rebalance. There isn't much room for a camera-mounted microphone. I use a Rode and there is no room so I have to balance at an angle but when I shift to a flat angle the motor beeps. There is no option to add shoulder straps or carry handles. Overall I like the device and think it's good, but for Canon mirrorless camera users it can be a bit overpriced. Another trick might make more sense for Canon mirrorless camera users.
