NX1 and 16-50S works with Ronin-SC
3

I know there's a few of us that take advantage of the NX1 for video.

I got the new Ronin SC and was able to balance it with a little hack of sliding the mount one screw back.  Works except for the part where if you tilt too high, it hits the viewfinder.  Other than that, the SC is a decent match for the NX1 and probably better for the NX500 (which I do not have).

The zhiyan crane also works with the NX1 plus 16-50mm but it's quite a heavy combination to use for any length of time. I find the best combination is the nx500 plus kit zoom as you also have the option of controlling the zoom with a smartphone if you need to.

That is impressive. I remember a few years ago i jumped through a few gimbals but non of them can balance the nx1 with S lens.

I have the Ronin S. No problem at all with NX1+S. I still recommend the S vs the SC for that setup.

I'm going to agree with you there.  But with that much extra weight and size, I think I'd be less likely to take it out and use it.  That's just me knowing myself.

Still its nice to know that I can use the NX1 + 16-50S on the SC.

Overall I'm on the fence on whether I'd keep the SC since I do consistently use other gear that does not fit well so I may end up with the Ronin S down the line or its successor.

Another reason is that I would feel more confident using a Pocket 4K/6K camera with the S than the SC. People have fit even Canon C200 there, the motors seem to be pretty powerful.

It is heavy though, and the axis do not lock, which is quite the bummer! If only they had a smaller and lighter battery at least..

Mike, do you have some footage you could share with that combo?

Hello. I also bought a DJI SC and eat it in combination with the Samsung NX1 16-50. Please tell, whether you managed to connect NX1 to a suspension bracket that beat availability provided by DJI function. Well, for example, turn on the video with the button on the suspension or use the panorama mode ... I just want to know, then I just can not connect or a problem with incompatibility.

Re: NX1 and 16-50S works with Ronin-SC

I bought a RS2 about 3 weeks ago. Balaning was verz easy and gimbal rotating works really perfect with NX1 and 16-50S.

The only thing which does not work is the usb shutter function. NX1 swithches to USB file transfer mode as soon I connect it with the RS2. Independent whether storage function or remote function is pre-selected in NX1 menu.  Any ideas?
