Tom Otte Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Hey ? I need your help, does anybody have tried to use an ARRICAM on a Ronin? Is it technically possible or would you need a bigger remote head? Thank you very much! Best Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Uli Meyer Posted November 13, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted November 13, 2023 I've had my LT on Steadicam many times but have never seen one on a Ronin 2. Not sure if it would fit ( the steadicam mag is 27cm tall). I dare say if someone had managed, there'd be a google-able photo of it somewhere. Let us know if you do and post a picture.

Dave Kovacs Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The weight capacity is not a problem. The Arricam LT body is 12lbs. The 400ft mag is 6lbs. The Ronin 2 working payload is 30lbs. Have a look at the CineMilled Upper Tilt Arms Extension for DJI Ronin 2 (STAGE 2). It allows the Ronin 2 height to be increased by 4 inches. There is also an adjustment to change the depth. Put a shoulder magazine on a ARRICAM LT and measure the dimensions, do the same for the Ronin 2 and add 4 inches to the top and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Otte Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 I didn't take a proper picture but the Movi XL was the way to go, surprisingly simple to set up even without getting rid of the Viewfinder, no steadi mags etc. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Otte Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 It's a picture but it's more proof of concept than anything else, I might ask the key grip if he has one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Kalaidjiev Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I recently did a project and needed a steadicam for an LT for a few days but no one was available. So we thought of trying out as Tom a Movi XL but the twist was that we wanted to hand carry the Movi because it was uneven terrain where we wanted to shoot. Here are some pictures and yes it is as ridiculous as it looks. It turned out that the whole thing was way to heavy and also a bit risky because of the high center of gravity. Anyway I'm putting out a few photos so if anyone is in a similar situation they would think twice before doing this 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 No, don't do that again. Looks like a €100k accident waiting to happen and an insurance company saying, "You did WHAT?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Kalaidjiev Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Haha yeah! We brought in 4 very strong stunt guys, actually they looked more like bodybuilders than anything else and they also said it was too heavy to carry and walk around. The rental company was also very suspicious but at then end let us do the test. Lesson learned, wont be doing that again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
