Wrapped Welcome to Chippendales after months of shooting. The final scene was a full one-er across two floors — combining a 45’ MovieBird crane, Ronin 2, DJI Master Wheels, and the Custom Easy Raptor Magnet for quick detach/reattach moves. Huge shoutout to @_samomelia and @johnlovellvideo for carrying a 40lb rig and nailing every transition. A challenging shot with tons of variables, but the team absolutely crushed it.
Thank you @markemerymoore for sharing this.

Had a sick time ripping around with the @dronedudes and @_samomelia of @lagimbals on a DTLA rooftop for the homie @adamnewportberra! @hawkanamorphic V-Lites on the new @arri Alexa35 Xtreme supplied by our friends at @keslowcamera. @trevcoe @jeruizh Robyn Buchanan & @adrianjebef rounding out the department 🏎️

Another round with @reidmurphy of @lagimbals, this time out in Charlotte, NC for some action at the PGA Championship. @sonycine Venice 2 paired with some @leitzcine Hugo primes built into a @dji_ronin 2.
A few months ago DJI asked @dave.anglin and I to sit down and talk about our experiences using the Ronin gimbal system over the years on Yellowstone and other projects. Amazing its been 6 years since the Ronin 2 was released and it's still a workhorse!
