What’s Different
The thing that caught my eye immediately is the design that puts the payload (your camera) above the roll axis, which makes your camera’s built-in display free of obstruction. This is a huge deal for those who use cameras that don’t have an articulating lcd screen.
DJI Ronin-S Design
DJI claims this unique design also frees the gimbal from unwanted shake as you shift from underslung to normal upright in one smooth motion.
DJI Ronin-S Detachable Modules
The Ronin-S also features a detachable design which allows for mounting to an RC buggy for low-angle shots, or even act as a stabilized remote head when mounted to a jib or crane. What DJI calls the DJI Focus Command Unit appears to be following suit from the Zhiyun Crane 2 with the ability to pull focus while operating with the standard handle (not mounted to a jib or buggy). These compact handheld gimbals featuring the ability to pull focus without some form of external follow focus equipment is a huge deal to me by giving creative control with minimal gear.
The DJI Ronin-S isn’t available for purchase yet, but there is a sign up to be notified form on their website, so you can be notified when it becomes available.
