6300 on DJI Ronin SC / Cable Connection failed

[Bjørn]

Hello together,

I am the new one 😉

Well, generally I am really satisfied with my 6300. I often use it for filming on my DJI Ronin SC Gimbal.

I use it „press record on camera“, either without or with external focus motor, where I do sometimes connections between the gimbal and the Motor, but I never connected the Camera to the gimbal.

Recently I read about doing  panorama fotos with Cameras (not with an handy) on a gimbal with overlapping fotos and merging them together.

ok, the ronin sc supports this feature and should release the camera trigger after taking a position in the panorama shot. It is, based on specs, compatible with th 6300.

the alpha can be triggert via rss-cable over that micro usb connection as far as I know. I buyed a seperate ucb-c / micro usb rss multi cable for sony cams.
When it comes to shooting I open the ronin app and want to setup a panorama shot. But then, the app always tells me, that there is no cable connection to the camera. But there is one. I see it. And it‘s correct to my opinion
Furthermore I generally can‘t shoot or record via the record burton of the gimbal to start the 6300 external over the cable. This seems to be a general problem in this case.

Does someone have an idea or an idea where to search? This is a really annoying fact.

 

cheers

To be honest, if you are taking photos that you want to stitch into a panorama, then it is much easier and simpler to do it handheld in my opinion. It is really easy with Sony cameras as they have a good level view as well as rule of thirds lines to arrange your shots. Make sure you use manual focus, manual white balance and manual exposure to get the best results.

I agree with Richard A IF you are using a shortish lens (which makes sense for panoramas). I love my gimbal for birds, but for panoramas it's usually overkill. Easy does it, and keep your manual settings even.

A lot of great panoramas are made with long lenses and the camera in portrait mode. It allows you to zoom in on your subject, stitch a half-dozen shots together and maintain detail. Very effective method.

I always use portrait mode for taking panorama shots.
