Introduction
DJI RSC 2 is a professional single-handed 3-axis gimbal specifically designed for
DSLR and mirrorless cameras. It is compatible with a wide range of camera setups and
supports a tested payload of up to 3 kg. DJI RSC 2 boasts enhanced gimbal performance
thanks to its updated Titan Stabilization Algorithm.
With a foldable design, DJI RSC 2 can be used in Briefcase mode without the need for
other accessories and is easy to store. Locks on each axis arm enables faster and more
convenient balancing as well as more secure storage. Users can calibrate the gimbal
and set parameters on the screen and use the onboard buttons to control the gimbal and
switch proles and working modes. With the NATO ports, accessories such as the Twist
Grip Dual Handle can be used. When used with the provided camera control cables, DJI
RSC 2 can also control the camera focus, shutter, and recording. The grip has a built-in
battery with a capacity of 3400 mAh, providing a maximum runtime of up to 14 hours*.
After connecting to the Ronin app, it is easy to control gimbal movement and parameter
settings with intelligent functions such as Panorama, Timelapse, and Track. With the DJI
Ronin RavenEye Image Transmission System mounted, users can access the camera
view and shoot smooth footage while automatically tracking a subject with ActiveTrack 3.0.
* The runtime was tested with DJI RSC 2 well-balanced and without any accessories or camera control
cables attached. The maximum runtime is for reference only.

Balancing
To obtain the best performance from DJI RSC 2, proper balancing is essential. Proper
balance is critical for shots with DJI RSC 2 where fast motion or acceleration is required
and also offers longer battery runtimes. There are three axes that need to be properly
balanced before powering on DJI RSC 2 and setting up the software.
Before Balancing
1. The camera needs to be fully congured, with all accessories and cables connected,
before installing and balancing the camera on the gimbal. If the camera has a lens
cap, make sure to remove it before balancing.
2. Before balancing, make sure to power on the camera if using an optical zoom lens and
to select the focal length if using a varifocal lens. Make sure DJI RSC 2 is powered off
or in sleep mode before balancing.
Balancing Steps
1. Balancing the Vertical Tilt
1
a. Unlock the tilt axis and loosen the mounting plate knob
.
b. Rotate the tilt axis so that the camera lens is pointing upward. Check to make sure
the camera is not top or bottom-heavy. If top-heavy, move the camera backward
If bottom-heavy, move the camera forward
2
.
2
c. Tighten the mounting plate knob while holding the camera upward. The vertical tilt
is balanced when the camera is steady while pointing upward.
