Hi,
I am thinking of buying one decent gimbal for Red cameras. Which one do you recommend? Tilta gravity 3axis, Ronin 2 or Movi pro or something else? Thanks in advance.
 
'best' depends on your specific requirements. The gravity has a super high payload but without any support will break your back. Movi Pro look amazing and Freefly have great customer service but is twice the price. Ronin 2 looks great for the money but you have to deal with DJI if you have an issue.
 
Yeah, I'm sure it's something like an iteration of the M 2, or MX 2, or something of that flavor....
 
One of the things I needed this year was a new Gimbal to replace my Original Ronin. I spent a lot of time going back and fourth between the Freefly booth and DJI's booth. In the end, I purchased a Movi Pro. So many things about the Ronin just didn't do it for me.
Weight- The Ronin2 is really heavy. No way you will be shooting anything longer than a few seconds with that thing without support.
Battery placement - The batteries on the Ronin2 are in the most inconvenient place, right in front of your face. As I held it, I found them to be in the way and distracting.
Quick Release - I found the Quick release on the Ronin2 to be really loose and wiggly, and that was on a few units on the NAB floor.
I do like the micro adjustments on the Ronin2, but I imagine that is also adding to the weight of the unit.
The Movi pro didn't feel cumbersome to hold and operate. It has strong integration with RED and the mimic is really slick. But, as mentioned, the movi is pricey. I bet the Ronin2 will be around $3500.
Tilta is playing catch up in the gimbal world, so I didn't even consider them.
In the end, these are all incredible gimbals that will make your footage buttery smooth :) All the points listed above is just splitting hairs after owning a ronin for a while.
Just my 2 cents.
 
Ronin 2.. duh lol,

I will say though that the movi pro looks cool though

Seems like I have to choose from Movi Pro, Movi m15 or Tilta Gravity .
 
Call me crazy but I've been using the ACR Beast for 2 1/2 years and love it. It's got some great features that Movi and R2 are just now integrating into their units. On board tuning and inverted mode in order to get the camera to eye level to name two. It's lightweight and much less expensive then the Movi. Worth a look.
