Using the Ronin RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4, RS 4 Pro Gimbals as a Remote Head
Whenever most of us pick up a gimbal we think nice smooth handheld stabilised video, and why not, it is good at it. However, I also use mine a remote camera, mainly when shooting video, but I have used it to get a remote photograph too.
So the challenges are keeping it powered and also controlling it. Also make sure you secure it. I do use safety cables to be on the safe side if it is out of the way or mounted somewhere. They are cheap and have a link below to some I have used.
I also mention how I am powering my camera using a V-lock battery, these are great, lots of battery life and so versatile. Here is a link to a video I made all about that. • Powering Canon EOS R5 C with v-lock batter...
Here is what I used to create this setup and what I am using in this video.
