Hey everyone! I just picked up a DJI Ronin, but I’m struggling to rig it up for longer shoots. I definitely need advice on reliable monitor mounts and maybe a dual-handle grip for better stability. What are the absolute must-have accessories you’d recommend to make the setup more ergonomic without adding too much weight?

yo, i feel u, those long shoots are a killer on the arms. basically, you dont need to spend a fortune to rig it right. i've been using these budget options for a while:

* SmallRig Monitor Mount with Cold Shoe 2905 (~$25)
* SmallRig Dual Handgrip for DJI RS 2 / RSC 2 / RS 3 / RS 3 Pro 3027 (~$60)

it honestly saves ur back and feels way more stable. gl

sooo i remember my first all-day shoot... my arms literally turned to jelly lol. i'm still kinda learning the best ways to rig things up but i've found some budget stuff that works well:

- SmallRig Gimbal Shoulder Strap 2466 (~$22): basically a lifesaver for the weight.
- Neewer Field Monitor Mount with Cold Shoe (~$16): works well and saves cash.
- UURig R015 Monitor Mount (~$19): another solid budget pick.

getting that weight off your wrists is the real secret tbh!!

In my experience, you dont gotta spend big to save your back. Here's what I recommend:

1. Get a basic side handle from SmallRig. It makes a HUGE difference for stability and ur arms wont die as fast.
2. Grab a cheap counterweight kit from Neewer. Actually helps balance front-heavy lenses so your motors dont overheat.
3. Look into a generic V-mount plate for power.

Budget gear is usually fine tbh. Good luck!!
