How to Connect Your Sony Camera to a Ronin SC2 Gimbal

Are you struggling to connect your Sony camera to a Ronin SC2 gimbal? Don't worry, in this article we'll walk you through the process step by step so you can start recording smooth, stabilized footage with ease.

First, you'll need the appropriate cable. The SC2 comes with several cables, but for the Sony A7S III and A1, you'll want to use the Type-C to Micro USB cable. Plug one end into the RSS/Camera icon on the gimbal and the other into your camera's micro USB port.

But here's the catch: the record button might not work right away. The issue is likely in your camera's menus, specifically the PC Remote Function. To enable it, follow these steps:

For the A7S III:

1. Go to the green "World" menu
2. Select "Transfer and Remote"
3. Scroll down to "PC Remote Function"
4. Turn it on

For the A1:

1. Go to the "Transfer and Remote" menu
2. Select "PC Remote"
3. Turn it on

Enabling PC Remote Function allows the record button on the gimbal to work with your Sony camera. Make sure your gimbal's firmware is up to date as well.

And that's it! Now you can connect your Sony camera to your Ronin SC2 gimbal and start capturing smooth, stabilized footage. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below. Happy shooting!
