Thinking it through though, it all makes sense. None of these methods will ever fully mitigate bounce along the direction of travel.Īll in all I’m not surprised at the results, though I would have expected the SmallRig Universal Wood Side Handle to be better than the Ronin-S’s built-in grip. The Ronin-S’s built-in grip falls somewhere in between.Īll of the options suffer from z-axis bounce but that is to be expected. The least smooth is with the Universal Wooden Side Handle. The smoothest performance is with the Switch Grip Dual Handle. This is a bottom mounted grip which adds one handle to the gimbal.

A number of manufacturers offer this type of accessory and they often double as a mounting point to hold a monitor, free of the gimbal’s gyrations.īelow are two tests of the Ronin-S gimbal, each with three variations: To move a double-handle gimbal will require a good deal more movement (think of the circumference, the distance traveled to make the move.) The latter is easier to control than the former.Īnother option for one-handle gimbals is a second grip added to the bottom of the gimbal. To pan a single-handle gimbal 5 degrees to the left will require very little movement. A wider stance represents a bigger circle of movement to control the gimbal. In terms of geometry, it’s pretty simple. The point of each is to add more control over the gimbal by having the operator’s arms further apart.

You see this with the Freely MOVI Pro and with DJI’s larger gimbals, as well as the Feyiu Ring-Style Grip Handle for the Feiyu AK2000 and AK4000 gimbals.
Traditionally, handheld gimbals are designed with a bar across the top and the gimbal hangs below, or as seen in newer designs, the gimbal is encircled within a ring. While that works, it leaves the question open as to whether one would be better off with an accessory handle for the Ronin-S.
Most people operate the Ronin-S with one hand up above, near the controls, and one hand down below holding the retracted stand.
The stand can be collapsed together and used in combination with the grip to steady and control the gimbal. Included with the kit is a small three-point stand, seen above. By design the Ronin-S is a single-handle gimbal with access to its controls just above the gimbal’s grip.
