Hello All:
 

I recognize that the Fujifilm X-H2S is not on compatable list for Ronin RS2.  However, has anyone tried this combination using micro HDMI female to male HDMI?  Besides stabalization what works?  Most important to me are starting/stopping video recording and being able to adjust focus with the focus motor.

Thank you in advance.

Don

Hello All:

For those of you that are interested, I purchased an X-H2S and connected it with my RS2.  The only changes from using an X-T3 was that I used the included (with the RS2 Pro) mini HDMI to Full HDMI cable and set Connections on the X-H2S to Select Connection Setting/Selection 3: USB Tether Shooting Auto.

With the above I was able to connect the RavenEye to my iPad and see what was in the field of view of the camera.  I was also able to start/stop video record and alter aperture, shutter speed and ISO.  I also  successful used film profiles of Flog and HLG.

It appears for these items, that the FujiFilm SDK for the X-T3 is similar to that what might be used for the X-H2S.

Well not so fast.  X-H2S firmware 1.03 everything worked fine for my needs.  Then FujiFiim updated the firmware to version 2.0.  Now, with USB Tether/Auto the record does not stay latched in.  However, there is a workaround.  Instead of USB Tether/Auto use USB Tether Fixed.  When you do this the first attempt at record will not latch.  However, a successive attempt will start movie recording.  So, if you want to use the X-H2S with the RS2 make sure you do not upgrade to FujiFilm firmware version 2.0 unless you want to use the workaround.

I spoke with FujiFilm Technical Support.  There is no way to roll back the firmware.  This seems to be the case with Sony as well.  I believe this to be dumb engineering.  If they break something with a firmware update you are screwed until the manufacturer issues a new firmware.

So three, big cheers for DJI.  At least you can roll back the firmware.

Judging the lack on interest in this thread, I must be the only idiot in the world that is attempting to make this work!

Thank you for the suggestion about DP Review.

I am able to get by with the work around.  A little more patience on my part perhaps and it works similarly with the X-H2s set to USB Tether Auto and have to since returned to this setting.  Just a PITA as I have to hit record twice.

BTW.  Not any real interest on the DJI RS2 User Forum either.

Hi!

I have the newest firmware on both - rs2: v01.05.00.20, and fujifilm: 3.01 - and have the same issue 😕 You have to start it twice, to works once 😕 I can't imagine, why is it hard to put the x-h2s into the rs2, if all the rs3s can handle x-h2s. The Rs2 wasn't cheap, don't leave all the owners alone! Please dji, make an upgrate! Your last was more than a year!

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for writing.

X-H2S firmware 2.1 was the best.  It did not require two selections of record to get the camera to record for more than a few moments--one selection was enough.  Version 3.00 and 3.01 has broken this and now requires selecting record twice as did firmware version 2.0.

Be careful what you wish for on DJI upgrading the firmware so that it allows of the X-H2S on the RS2.  In looking at DJI’s compatibility chart of the X-H2S with RS3 it does not do very much except start/stop record.  At least with the RS2’s current firmware, from the Ronin App I can also adjust the X-H2S' shutter speed, aperture, an ISO through RavenEye.

Hi Don,
You are not the only one in the world, now there are 2 or 3 of us 😃
Could you tell me how you also got the ss control on the raven eye? I can get the image, have remote control of registration, iso and aperture but not the shutter (showing N/A). Lastly the active track works very badly, if I put it in portrait a disaster, in landscape mode a little better.

HI Serghios,

Wow.  We are numbers are growing by leaps and bounds.  Doubling or tripleing our user base in just under a year.

I am only using the RS2/X-H2S (firmware 5.01) for video through RavenEye on my iOS device operating under version 16.x.  I have no issue getting the X-H2S to start recording.  Though, I may have to push record more than once before the record mode stay latched in.

Are you attempting to take photographs?  Are you using Android or iOS?

Don

      By mapoett · Posted

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      By JovialLich · Posted

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
