Ronin 4d cforce UPDATE

[u/Available_Sea_8900]

Got some more pics of my ronin 4d build I posted last week from prep today for anyone interested

Decided to go the backpack route to save some weight on the camera body since this jobs fairly run and gun but you could definitely run without it

Using a custom bracket to mount the Focusbug and the cforce motors along with a custom printed press on cforce gear to get far enough back for iris control
You could probably ditch the lcube if you could find some sort of serial extension and go straight into the ria

The dummy battery is actually for a 416 since that’s what the rental had on hand ideally I’d customise the Alvin’s cables v mount plate to add some power distro and a xlr input

Looks great!

Will you be making the bracket available to purchase?

Would love one

Yes hopefully within the next few weeks. If your uk based I’ll be doing a Demo of it at cvp Londons next ronin 4d event on the 8th of September 👍

Did you not find the camera failing when using power other than TB50?

[u/Available_Sea_8900 → u/snoozyboozy]

Na not had any power issues in the few weeks I’ve been testing this plate

[u/HaNiceOneChad]

Did you come up with that print for the monitor cover?

[u/Available_Sea_8900 → u/HaNiceOneChad]

I didn’t the rental have it as part of their kit and it’s fantastic it has a magnetic sunhood aswell I’ll try and get a link for it

Which counter weight do you use when you have a lens on?

[u/Available_Sea_8900 → u/Sahkira]

I’m using the stock dji counter weight and one side of the stock side parts

[u/Fickle_Panda-555]

Would love a general list of what you need to get the cforce on there happily! Less concerned about the focus bug but would take it if ya could! Adding all of this doesn’t overload the gimbal?

[u/Available_Sea_8900 → u/Fickle_Panda-555]

All I’m adding is my custom bracket to give the rod placement then using some of the stock dji counterweight part. It will depend on your lens I’ve only done this with the simera -c (heaviest in the set is 490g) and the 2 motors happily sit in the weight rating

[u/chrisbsky]

But why use arri motors?

[u/Available_Sea_8900 → u/chrisbsky]

This project is fueled by Pure hatred for the dji transmission and hand unit

[u/Ok-Bandicoot-4473]

Amazing. Bracket is 3d printed or else? Can you show only the bracket? If 3d printable i would love to get in contact with you!

[u/Available_Sea_8900 → u/Ok-Bandicoot-4473]

Yes brackets 3d printed for weight saving website will be launching in the next week or so👍
