BIG Field Test: Ronin S2 vs. HandHeld

Every project demands a particular style of capture. Handheld, Steadicam, dolly, or gimbal each creates a different feeling. At Big Media Creative, we have used them all and decided to do this Ronin S2 vs handheld comparison. When we plan a new production, the story always comes first. We carefully consider the emotion we want the audience to feel. Are you going for action or a sense of tension? Try handheld. Looking for a calm or prestigious look? Consider some form of stabilization. A gimbal like the Ronin S2 delivers smooth, controlled movement. Want the audience to really study the frame? Use a locked-off camera.

This Ronin S2 vs handheld comparison shows how each choice shapes the footage. The right camera movement can make a big difference in the final result. We love telling stories through thoughtful camera work. Let’s work together to tell yours.
