Scott, your gimbal still hasn't arrived?
BTW, maybe my issues are about to arrive but I have to say so far my 1DX2 being tethered hasn't been a problem. About the weight and fatigue, I rely on my belt to take the weight off my arm by letting the feet sink down into my shirt. Of course this isn't ideal if you're walking and shooting.

Hi Jack,
Yes I have the Ronin S. Not much to report really, it will balance with the 1DX MkII and 11-24 but it has restricted movement. Currently there is no Canon shutter release for the 1DX MkII so my hopes of moving time lapses will need a work around. It works very well with the 35 f2 IS and 1DX MkII with no movement restrictions.
I wouldn't sell one to get the other unless there was an overwhelming feature a particular person needed, basic performance is just too close and they both have frustrating restrictions at this point.
Unrestricted view of the screen is very nice and means you can lightly touch the screen to 'pull focus' with the 1DX MkII, so far that and the ergonomics, the grip is very nice, are the only real advantages of the Ronin over the Zhiyun though I wouldn't consider me a power user of gimbals yet...
