thx for the clear-cut recommendation for regular consumers. Most people who watch videos like these are new to film like me, so giving a recommendation with that in mind is always super helpful.

What a great video! I have bought RSC2 and It's litteraly my daily driver gimbal. I use additional handle instead of folding it, because its only like 25 USD and way easier for me to use. RavenEye system works amazing as well. Thanks to this system I don't have to bring any monitor on set and just relie on my smartphone. And at the end advice for all people buying Ronin RS2 or RSC2. Remember to buy the COMBO kit. It's 100% worth it :)

After watching this amazing video, I think that for the most part, the RS2 is much better because it will let you replace the battery if for "x" reason it start to give you issues after the warranty expires. The omission of a swappable battery system is a deal break for me, so I will be buying the RS2.

I wish it as easier to play with them before deciding. I'd rather get the one with all the bells and whistles... but the idea of convenience and portability is huge.

Great video, thanks! I still can’t decide whether the folding arm on the RSC makes it a better companion? If money is not an object and neither is payload, which is best - the RSC for the arm and easy briefcase mode or the RS for the ability to use it off the handle without phone!?

I can't believe that DJI did this to customers... RSC 2 battery can't be replaced. Already hit the return button... It would have been nice to inform people about this nasty move to sell you a product with a condemned battery inside... Yeah because they want you to keep on buying stuff every 1 to 2 years. I'm sick and tired of that. I'm going back to Glidecam setup. Still have my vest.

Thanks for great review. Always enjoy watching your videos.

[koalamusik]

you can't use the additional focus wheel on the RSC2, even though it's working on the RS2, the Ronin S and even the Ronin SC. So, in that point, you are downgrading when choosing the newer RSC2 instead of the Ronin SC.

Perfect unbiased review , liked your work very much here ! Coz i watched over 20 videos which left me with no clue for which one I should go with. From here I got very clear in the very starting that i should go for rsc2
Thanks man 🤞😇

[revmatchtv]

Excellent review! Are they both equally easy to use?

[ronborkowski]

Thanks the video looks great. I will throw out there be careful with the active track and going to quickly to under slung as mine freaked out. My camera ended up upside down. Also watch the phone size on the RS2 as it was hitting my 11 pro max in the provided holder.

What you didn't mention is creative mode where on rs2 you can set automated movements on your liking but not sure if you can set same on rsc2

[VLEET]

Great vid, would have been nice to get a side by side view for size comparison etc.

[dhfpgwb]

I got a a7iii with battery grip and a heavy lens+raveneye to work great on the rsc2. The funny thing is that i think the rs2 is more portable then the rsc2, the folding looks nice but the shape of it isn’t practical for any type of bag imo

[venom]

I don't need any of them but every time I go into Best Buy I play with the RSC2 and I just love the thing. When it gets down to say $300 or less I think I might buy one anyway. LOL

[Woodydrone]

Loved the video! I'm probably going to buy the RSC2 but I was wondering - which combo would you recommend as better value for money?

[felm.]

If you are a beginner, should you invest in the RSC2 Pro Bundle or will I just be ok with the RSC2? Thank you and great video

[thebrandfinger]

Best review on this 2 gimbal models, I only have a M50 Canon camera with 5 different lenses and I'm planning to buy better cameras in the near future and more lenses so do you think in that case I should buy the RS2 because I will get more gears very soon or just get the RSC2? Let me know and thanks so much!!

[sidestoryhero]

Why are you comparing the base RSC2’s price of $500 to the RS2’s combo package of $1000? If anything, you should be comparing the base RSC2’s price to the base RS2’s price of $850.

[myweddingfilmcreator]

do you think the RSC2 can handle the S1 and 24-105 lens, thanks in advance
