Researching gimbals - Ronin MX or Letus Helix Jr. ?

[CraigM]

In the market for a gimbal. Will want to fly both our 1DC and C100 MKII on it. Budget is just under $2K. I was very excited about the new DJI Ronin MX announced at NAB and am willing to pre-order and wait, not in a big hurry. I know I can still get the "M", but seems the MX would be worth the wait for the upgraded features it seems to offer. Meanwhile I started researching the Letus Helix Jr. aluminum. They both have their pros and cons regarding weight, handling and load, they are priced similarly. Not too many videos online for the Helix Jr. and there seems to be some concern that it reveals walking up/down more than other gimbals. Only previous gimbal experience is with a DJI Osmo.

As John Quiñones would ask, what would you do?

Thank you.

Well the Ronin M has a well established track record. And DJI built your OSMO... Certainly puts confidence in the DJI choice.

I've only used the Helix. But I didn't tune it. I just operated it. It worked perfectly.

Probably 6 of one.....
