Introduction
The Thumb Controller is designed specifically for DJI Ronin series
handheld gimbals. It provides a simple, intuitive interface for
controlling the gimbal’s pan, tilt, and roll motion. The pressuresensitive 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.

Function
The Function tab allows you to select the SmoothTrack speed.
There are 3 possible speeds: Fast, Normal, and Slow. The value
of each speed can be adjusted in the DJI Assistant app or the PC/
MAC Assistant.
Gimbal Settings
Channel
Allows you to assign control of the pan, tilt, or roll motion of the
gimbal to the up/down input on the pressure-sensitive stick.
Allows you to assign control of the pan, tilt, or roll motion of the
gimbal to the left/right input on the pressure-sensitive stick.
Selecting ‘None’ means that the corresponding input axis from the
pressure-sensitive stick will not affect the movement of the gimbal.
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.
Direction
By 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.
14

When the “Reverse” orientation is selected, the up/down and left/
right controls are switched.
Calibration
“Cali System” should be used if there is perceptible drift on any
axis. The calibration procedure should take approximately 90
seconds to complete.
Selecting “Auto Tune” will automatically adjustment each motor’s
stiffness settings to achieve an optimal balance. This process
should take approximately 20 seconds to complete.
The gimbal cannot be controlled by the Thumb Controller or the
remote controller during calibration. Do not touch or move the
gimbal during either process.
Device Settings
