Thoughts on the Ronin?

MrDrone27 · Oct 9, 2014

Hey, ya'll.

I am currently looking in to getting a DJI Ronin and had a few questions.

What are your thoughts on the Ronin?
Does anyone else already own one?
Any issues with cameras that I should be aware of?
Best dealer to buy the Ronin from?

For what I have seen around , the Ronin is the most cost effective solution. Cheaper and as good as movi and co, and apparently reliable for the price. I feel a bit old to run with it, but if not, I would be really tempted...
I play this video in loop...!

That was awesome! Believe me, I'm also very tempted... Also trying to determine where I should purchase it from.

Yeah we've got one here too. The pipe dolly has been given the flick and the Ronin has been used many times on videos we have made.

Very impressive bit of kit when used correctly

They look, AWESOME.

Definitely the next step in film work.

Well, my decision for where to purchase just got a lot easier. Someone just posted that Dronefly.com is offering free $200 Visa gift cards if you spend more than $2,500. Looks like today is the day I buy the Ronin! Hopefully the wife doesn't mind

Hey, man. I went ahead and got it from Dronefly.
I have spoken with them multiple times, and have had them pick up the phone every time. You should check them out also! I'm extremely pleased with their service. :mrgreen:
