love the smallrig strap. I will defently get one. Thanks Peter.

love that you addressed a very specific thing here with the smallrig/F38 AS working together, thanks so much. Have found out the hard way that SmallRig AreaSwiss on their cages doesn't actually fit *all ArcaSwiss mounts - apparently not all AS-mounts are not created equally 😤 love that these two pieces are interchangable. been sleeping on the F38 system for a while, but this now will integrate perfectly with my near-perfect interchangable system. sidenote: actually bought that side handle per your recc but in real world use didn't love it. was a little close to gimbal, and made for awkard grip/CG overall. def really well made, bit heavy, but just not for me. always appreciate the vids m8!

Fantastic video! For a beginner would you recommend the side handle first, over the back handle? Thank you!

Single point rifle slings are AWESOME.

Hi Peter! Thanks a lot for your help with the Falcam plates the last time! :). I have now bought Falcam plates and have a Q about what tripods to use with weBill S. I have also bought an extension pole so I figure I need 2 tripods to switch fast between pole and no pole as seen in video above. What tripods do you recommend? I have a Zhinyun but that screw is too long and goes through the falcam plate. Need 2 sturdy gimbals tripods, Thankful for help.l Best regards Petter

Nice one, The only problem with the other base plates for the Ronin, Is I do not think they have the holes to attach the lens support and the follow focus gears on them so you won't be able to attach the follow focus motor nor the lens support. I use the Focus Motor to control my zoom lens on the Gimbal and it is the best thing I have ever done. I can zoom in and or via the thumb controller from the Ronin while on the fly... And for tricky VND shots it can control the Variable ND in the lens as well if you are shooting from indoors and going outdoors and need a sloth ND transition...

Thanks Peter for the fantastic videos! I have used that Gimbal Arm originally on my Webil S and now my RS3- It's a good piece of kit but have found it impossible to stop it rotating in the screw hole, even with the Falcam F38 plate attached as you suggest. I suppose it's the fault of the RS3 that it does not have multiple holes or securing pins in the base to stop the handle from moving around? I have now had to move to a Nato mounted side handle which of course stays rigid and at right angles to the gimbal, with zero movement. Thank you!

Can I use the small rig base plate for the RS3 mini as well or its only for the RS3.

Thank you for this really practical tips! One question: is the Smallrig Strap also compatible with the Zhiyun Weebill? Or which strip do you recommend for this Stabilizer?

I already had the Rifle Sling, but the SmallRig look interesting with the QD sockets at the baseplate. I also use the Rode VideoMic Go II at the Top of Camera on the Gimbal, But the Sound Quality is Just Okay. ( The Ambient Sound Still be heard. ) So I tend to use the Bigger Shotgun Mic at the Top of the Side Handle Grip, But It's not always point at the Same direction of the Camera.) So... In Post-Production Process I Only use the Wireless Mic's Audio. And the Camera's Audio just for back-up.

Yes the SmallRig sling with the baseplate is great. Thanks for sharing how you do audio. 👊

btw, does the new SmallRig sling strap require ungranding the primary handle? think the one that comes with Ronin does not have screw mounts in it, hrmm ...

Does the side handle fit the DJI RS3 Mini also?

Thanks for showing how you add a microphone.

This video was sponsored by “Small Rig.” Lol, I’m joking. But seriously, this was 100% one of the best “10 Tips blah blah blah” videos I’ve ever seen. It was actually informative, and straight to the point. Love it.

I see your Nisi filter does not have the little pin to turn it? Did you lose it or did it break? My broke and it is the only bummer about this filter. That little pin is flimsy and does not screw in tight.. Mine kept coming out and finally the threads just failed and no longer stays in.. But the filter is the best I have ever used...

On your strap, is there any advantage using the small rig vs the magpul gen4 sling?

@PeterMakholm

I defently like the magpul better, because it is black, but the advantage with the smallrig is the baseplate you get with it for the gimbal. it is brilliant.

I can't test it for you because I do not have the RSC2 any more, but I am pretty sure that the bottom of the grip is the same size. If you order it form amazon you can test if it fits and if not just send it back.

HiPeter! Thanks a lot for your superb tips, helped me alot, love your work! :) I have a Q. When you go to a ordinary tripod from the gimball, what kind of tripod heads do you use? I have like 3 manfrotto heads and are bound to manfrotto,-plates. So have you seen a conversion from your Falcam-plate to Manfrotto plate? Would like to test Falcam plates, but i dont want to get rid of my Manfrotto tripods. Thanks again man! :) (the weebill S has as you know, has a manfrotto plate so i can put it on my manfrotto head, but i have to release the whole plate for that)

@PeterMakholm

are you talking about a big tripod or just a small vlogging tripod? But as i said in the video I have it on all my gear.... I simply add it on top of my 504pl baseplates for my large tripods and for my small vlogging tripod I have the Ulanzi carbon tripod with a joby 3k ballhead where i have attached an f38 plate instead of their plate. So I have simply streamlined all of my gear to fit with f38 plates. I have also invested in a bunch of them. I think i have about 10 of them. The same goes for my Weebill S. I do not use the quick release the have within the baseplate, I use the baseplate from ulanzi with the F38 plate on.

For the weebill 2 you have to buy zhiyun's side handle, because the ulanzi handle will interfere with the screen.

8:10 You're using the dji combo handle incorrectly. It does lock in to place before tightening.

Sounds way too complicated running a gimbal. I think I'm fine hand-held

You put the DJI adjustable handle on wrong bro... I use the DJI version nearly every month for wedding and it does have the safety lock on the bottom. You need to flip it around.... you are using the DJI version wrong..
