It provides a simple, intuitive interface for controlling the gimbal’s pan, tilt, and roll motion. The pressure-sensitive stick and the easy-to-read OLED display give Ronin users more control than ever before.The Thumb Controller communicates with the Ronin-M via a preinstalled internal receiver. An external receiver is needed when the Thumb Controller is used with the Ronin.Thumb Controller[1] Power ButtonPress and hold the power button to turn on/off the Thumb Controller[2] Status IndicatorIndicates the status of the Thumb Controller[3] OLED DisplayDisplays the menu of the Thumb Controller[4] Pressure-Sensitive StickTransmits the user’s input to the force sensor[1] [2][3][4]

By default, the up/down input on the pressure-sensitive stick controls the tilt axis movement of the gimbal and the left/right input on the pressure-sensitive stick controls the pan axis movement of the gimbal. If you reassign the control input of either axis, only the most recent assignment will be valid. DirectionBy default, the “Normal” direction orientation scheme indicates that the up movement of the stick moves the tilt axis up and the down movement of the stick moves the tilt axis down, while the left movement of the stick rotates the pan axis to the left and the right movement of the stick rotates the pan axis to the right.
