ULANZI FALCAM F38 Camera Quick Release System for Ronin-S/RS2/RSC2

In this review the ULANZI FALCAM F38 quick release system is judged as a practical accessory for gimbal users who swap cameras between tripods and a DJI Ronin-S, RS2 or RSC2. The single biggest reason to buy is the speed and stability of the F38 plate: its push-to-install, press-to-release mechanism and a three-mode anti-deflection design make repeated mounting fast and reduce camera tilt during multi-angle shooting. For users who prize workflow efficiency and a secure mechanical connection, the F38 stands out.

Key Features

• Direct compatibility: Designed specifically for DJI Ronin-S, RS2 and RSC2 so cameras mount cleanly to these gimbals without adaptors, saving setup time.
• Ultra quick release: The F38 mortise-and-tenon inspired mechanism allows a push to lock and a press to remove, speeding swaps between tripod and gimbal.
• Safe lock: The dedicated safe lock switches between Deadlock Mode and Press Mode to reduce accidental release when moving or packing gear.
• Anti-deflection plate: A three-mode quick release plate limits camera deflection in multi-angle shooting, helping keep framing steady across orientations.
• Durable materials: CNC-machined aluminum alloy and stainless steel construction provide a solid feel and support for heavier setups up to the specified vertical load.
• High load capacity: The system is built to support heavy setups with a listed max vertical load of 80kg/176lb, which covers professional cameras and lens combinations.

Who It's For

The F38 is ideal for photographers and videographers who frequently move a camera between a tripod and a DJI Ronin-S/RS2/RSC2 gimbal and need a fast, repeatable mounting method. Independent filmmakers, content creators and studio shooters who value a secure mechanical connection and an anti-deflection plate will appreciate the design.

It is less suited to someone looking for the lightest, most compact plate for travel or users who require soft, strap-friendly edges for constant sling use; a few customers noted the fit can be tight in backpack straps and the unit is heavier than slim carbon options. Also, users needing an integrated quick-connect for non-standard tripod systems should confirm compatibility first.

Pros & Cons
