After update to 8.6 RS 2 camera control is not working.

PostFri Mar 29, 2024 5:36 pm

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this? RS 2 record button and focus wheel not working when tethered to BMPCC 4K. Everything worked fine before the update.

Try do downgrade and see if come back to work.
If work is a beta firmware bug, if continue to not work, there is another reason

Thanks Carlo. I downgraded to 8.5.1 and as you may have suspected, my RS 2 now has full functionality with the Pocket 4. So for now, I will leave the 4K with the 8.5.1 version and keep the two 6K's with the newer version since I use the RS2 almost exclusively with the 4K.

Excellent, I’m happy for you.
Sent a report to Dji, Blackmagic Design change protocols with newer firmware, they should collaborate to come back in compatibility

Thanks Carlo. And thanks for reporting the issue to DJI and BMD. I’m sure they will fix it as it comes out of beta.

I also just updated my Pocket Cinema 6K Pro with the Blackmagic Camera 8.6 Public Beta update. Now like you all the camera controls won't work with the DJI RS2 transmitted via the Raven eye to my iPad. I really like the new features, but I use the iPads to control my cameras and gimbals. I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing it. Hopefully they will find a fix soon.

I'm about to buy the RS2. I would also like to see this fixed when it comes out of Beta.

That said, one of the new features in the Beta is camera control options. I wonder if this will eventually fall on DJI to resolve.
