Building the Ultimate Photography Gimbal Setup! DJI Ronin RS4 Pro + Canon R5

Written By Long Nguyen

I’ll take you through my complete process of building a photography gimbal rig for photographing action while mounted to a car with a Flowcine Black Arm.  I used the DJI Ronin RS4 Pro paired with a Canon R5. Whether you're an automotive photographer, content creator, or just a hobbyist, this rig can allow you to capture smooth action photos while working around moving vehicles.

I have only tested this with my Canon camera and no other camera system. It is compatible with my R5 Mark I & R5 Mark II. It did not work with with my R3 in this configuration.

I hope that you can expand on this idea and improve it.
