6 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. IntroductionDeveloped for the filmmaking professional, the DJI Ronin-M marks a generational leap in camera stabilization technology. The technology built into the DJI Ronin-M allows a broad spectrum of cameras varying in size and weight to be mounted for class leading stabilization. Based on the successful design of DJI Ronin Hand-held Gimbal, Ronin-M is lighter, smaller and more convenience to shooting. A brushless gimbal stabilization system is not simply three brushless motors moving on three axes. The motors work with position feedback and the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to communicate with our custom 32-bit processor, which processes movement calculations in milliseconds. This equates to control and angular vibration range down to 0.02 degrees of translated movement, meaning your images are going to be perfectly still in all three axes of movement. There are three operation modes in the Ronin-M: underslung mode, upright mode and briefcase mode.In the BoxGimbal×1The gimbal includes built-in DJI motor drive modules, an independent IMU module, a 32-bit DSP processor, power supply module, Bluetooth, transmitter/receiver module, camera shelf, and power breakout box.Handle Bar ×1Customizable handle platform for the gimbal.Remote Control- 2.4 GHz ×1Controls the movements of the gimbal, switches the work modes, and selects gimbal speed.Tuning Stand ×1For suspending or storing the gimbal.

The following steps show how to use the tuning stand. 1. Put the stand in the upright position as shown in the picture below:2. Press button [1] and pull the lower legs outward away from the stand, and then pull downward. Then press button [2] and pull the upper arms outward and upward. Press the button [3] and slide it up to release the stand as shown. 3. The upper half of this tuning stand can be removed by loosening the knob [4]. You can use it with any C-stand style stud  that ts the hole [5]. When mounting on to a C-stand, be sure to check the balance of the stand so as to not have the Ronin-M with a camera tilt over. When setting on a table, make sure the table is a at and even surface. [3][1][2][1][2][5][4][3]

Adjust the grips to the desired position and tighten the screws to secure their position.2. Place the handle bar in the position as shown below, then slide the handle bar into the gimbal, tighten the lock-knob.3. With your hands on the handles, be sure the gimbal is not obstructed during a 360 degree pan. Installation is complete.Intelligent Battery Installation1. Loosen the thumb screws on either side of the battery. Slide the battery directly into the gimbal and then slide down. Be sure the battery’s thumb screws go down into their locating slots making full contact with the gimbal’s electrical leads.2. Tighten the thumb screws on the battery to lock it in place.
Ronin-M User Manual12 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. Make sure the battery is powered off during the installation. An incorrectly installed battery may lead to (1) Poor battery connection, or (2) Unavailable battery information.Mounting the CameraThe Ronin-M uses an adjustable camera mounting plate to allow you to easily balance, install and remove your camera. The Ronin-M has been tested with the following types of cameras. Other cameras similar in size and weight may also work: Black Magic Cinema Camera Canon 5DMKIII Nikon D800Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera Canon 6D Panasonic GH3Canon 1Dc Canon 7D Panasonic GH4Canon 5DMKII Canon C100 Sony NEX7 Camera Size Requirements: the maximum depth from the center of gravity on the camera base plate is 120mm; the maximum height measured from the top of the camera base plate is 195mm; and the maximum width is 160mm. As shown in the picture to the right. To avoid obstructing camera movement, the use of soft connection cables is recommended.1. Attach the camera mounting plate to your camera using the provided screws. Choose the correct 1/4" or 3/8" screws. Some cameras have two tripod mounting holes. It’s best to secure the camera as tightly as possible. If two mounting holes are available on your camera, then use both mounting holes. Choose the right screw holes according to your camera’s conguration.2. Install the lens support. Gently push up to apply a little pressure to the lens, then tighten the thumbscrew.195mm160mm140mm120mm
