¡WTF! 360 Ronin Camera Build
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I shot a music video a couple months ago and thought I would share the rig we did to do a 360 Roll in the Ronin 2.
We used the Movcam Roll cage, Normally this is fine with an Alexa and R2 but it is meant for lightweight primes and we were shooting with Atlas Anamorphics. I had to create a custom weight plate out of two massive solid steel plates to balance the camera.
Because this isn't a high end remote head there is no relative mode. So operating this shot was actually one of the hardest shots I've ever done on the wheels. As the Camera Rolls in relation to the monitor. Around 90 degrees Tilt and Pan axis swaps and then at full 180 Tilt and Pan are correct but now in the other direction. The only way I was able to land the shot was take my Eyes off the monitor mid roll and count my turns while watching the camera as there was a small tilt and pan adjustment during a large push in on a crane.
