Ronin-M User Manual
1. Loosen the camera base's side clamp to allow the camera and mounting plate to slide forwards
and backwards. Slide the camera forwards or backwards until the Tilt Axis remains level. It takes
very small adjustments to get the balance right.
2. Tighten the side clamp to lock the camera and mounting plate in position. If properly balanced, the
camera should be able to remain steady in any given tilt angle.
Step 4: Balancing the Pan Axis
The entire mass below the pan motor must be balanced on the central axis line of the pan motor. To
achieve this balance, you must slide the pan axis slider.
1. Open the clamp [1] on the pan axis and turn the knob [2] to slide the assembly. Identify if the
Ronin-M is front heavy or rear heavy.
2. While the Ronin-M is resting on the tuning stand, try rotating the Ronin-M along the pan axis by
lifting one side of the handle bar. If the camera does not swing, the pan axis is properly balanced.
Tighten the clamp after balancing is completed.

Advanced Roll Adjustment
If additional roll adjustment is needed in cases where the camera itself is too light in comparison to the
tilt motor assembly, advanced roll adjustment can be achieved by loosening the indicated screws and
pushing the assembly to the right or left.

1. Calibrate
Auto Tune Stability provides an easy one-touch button for automatic configuration of each axis. Trajectory,
speed, power and stiffness of motors are automatically tuned for the camera configuration that’s mounted.
© 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.
17
Ronin-M User Manual
Auto Tune Stability should be tapped whenever there is a new camera configuration mounted such as a
lens change or accessories change. This will offer the best stability and the most optimal settings.
2. Live Data
This monitors the feedback from each motor axis. If a particular motor axis indicates a power greater than
10, this often means the mechanical balancing of the camera hasn’t been properly adjusted. A properly
balanced camera rig will have each axis indicating close to 0 power. Don’t worry if these settings are not
always 0. The Angle indicates the current angle at which each axis is in relation to center.
3. Briefcase Mode
When Briefcase Mode is switched on, the Ronin will be able to seamlessly transform into this operation
mode. With Briefcase Mode turned off, the Ronin will allow the Roll axis to follow if the Ronin is tilted
past the standard roll axis travel.
4. SmoothTrack Mode
When SmoothTrack Mode is enabled, the Ronin will can be "steered" by the camera operator’s movements
in the Pan and Tilt axis. This steering/translation speed can be adjusted for each axis independently. When
the Ronin's top bar is rotated left or right, the camera will smoothly pan and slow down to a stop. Under the
SmoothTrack options, the Pan Axis and the Tilt Axis can be independently adjusted.
Pan Axis speed will determine how fast the camera will travel while translating a pan movement. Pan
deadband will determine how much movement the gimbal will tolerate prior to translating the camera’s pan.
Tilt Axis speed will determine how fast the camera will travel while translating a tilt movement. Tilt deadband
will determine how much movement the gimbal will tolerate prior to translating the camera’s tilt.
The Pan and Tilt SmoothTrack speed can be tested. Ensure there is no obstruction of the camera
when tapping these Test buttons.
5. Control Speed Adjustment
Remote control speed can be adjusted here. The adjustment represents the maximum speed of
gimbal control in the Pan and Tilt axis when the control sticks are pushed to their endpoints.
Advanced Settings
There are more advanced functions you can adjust through the Assistant to meet your requirement.

Ronin-M User Manual
1. Motor Adjustment
The Auto Tune Stability button allows for automatic adjustment of each motor’s stiffness settings (as relayed
from the sensors and how the Ronin-M sees each axis’s interaction) to accomplish an optimized setting.
Besides tuning stiffness, there are other electronic settings being tuned. It is highly recommended that the
Auto Tune Stability button be tapped whenever there is a new camera configuration mounted, including a
lens change or accessories change. This will offer the best stability and the most optimal settings.
Each axis has its own stiffness and trim adjustment. The motor stiffness adjustment allows fine tuning of the
amount of power applied to the motors as they react to the balancing of weight on each axis. The higher
you can adjust the stiffness settings without having any vibrations or oscillations from the gimbal, the better.
A majority of the time, the Auto Tuned settings will be suitable.
The Trim adjustment controls the preset amount of trim applied to each axis off center. The default setting of
0 degrees represents center.
2. SmoothTrack Mode
Refer to the Basic Settings for the details of SmoothTrack Mode.
Control Menu
1. Deadband
Onboard controller and the remote operator controller can have independent pan and tilt deadbands
of movement. The larger the deadband, the more stick movement required prior to the input being
translated to actual movement of the gimbal.

2. Maximum Speed
Maximum Speed is a function that allows the controlled stick response from being a linear response
to what is known as an increasing response curve. This means the amount of gimbal travel in the Pan
or Tilt is not directly proportional to control stick travel. Control response can be adjusted to be milder
below the initial first half of control stick travel and be increased to a higher speed towards the last
half of control stick travel. This preset exponential curve is selected based off the input of maximum
speed. The onboard controller and the remote operator control sticks can have maximum speeds set
independently from each other.

3. Smoothing
When the control stick input is released, the smoothing of the translated movement will come to a
smooth slow down if the smoothing is increased. If the smoothing is 0, the slowdown will appear as an
abrupt stop. The onboard controller and remote operator control sticks can be set independently. Pan
and tilt smoothing can also be set independently.
4. Controller Endpoints Adjustment
Pan Axis endpoints can be adjusted independently for left and right movement when used with a
remote control or the onboard controller. Pan Axis endpoints setting means during controller input, the
maximum point in which the gimbal will rotate left or right.
Tilt Axis endpoints can be adjusted independently for up and down movement when used with a
remote control or the onboard controller. Tilt Axis endpoints settings control the maximum point at
which the gimbal can rotate up or down.
The Pan and Tilt endpoints can be tested. Ensure the camera is unobstructed when tapping the Test
buttons.
If the requirement to rotate 360 degrees on the Pan axis is needed, simply adjust the endpoints for pan to 0.
If endpoints are set to 0 for 360 degree Pan ability, then "Test Pan Endpoint" will not move the pan axis.
5. Channels
This is a channel indicator to provide feedback during remote operator configuration. Pan, Tilt, and
Roll can be re-assigned to either of the remote control sticks. The controlled axis can also be reversed.
6. Settings
Controller Priority: If both input devices send control signals to the gimbal, the selected controller
priority will be the only device to send a signal at that given time.
Pan/Tilt remote speed adjustments can be pre-configured to be selectable on the 2nd operator remote
controller. The control speed settings for pan and tilt can be set independently from each other.
Setting Speed Toggle Presets, you are setting the Function switch (left switch) on the Ronin-M remote
controller. These presets will allow you to change the SmoothTrack speed remotely. If the remote

controller is turned on, the Speed Toggle Presets for SmoothTrack will take precedence over the App
settings. Once the remote controller is turned off, the SmoothTrack settings in the App will take over.

Briefcase Mode
When Briefcase Mode is switched on, the Ronin-M will be able to seamlessly transform into this
operational mode. With Briefcase Mode turned off, the Ronin-M will allow the Roll axis to follow.
Motor Kill Switch
when activated, the Ronin-M is still powered on, but the motors will be powered off. This will allow an
adjustment to the gimbal or camera without having to turn off the gimbal. Prior to turning off the kill
switch, make sure the gimbal is positioned in the standard operating position. The motor kill switch can
also be used in case the gimbal operator runs into an issue, or you need to make a quick mechanical
adjustment to the gimbal or camera setup.
Calibrate Center
If the Ronin-M’s Pan Axis is off center, you can recalibrate the true center of the Ronin-M using this
switch. Using a remote control, position the pan axis at dead center, then tap the Calibrate Center. Tap
“Center” again in the pop-up to confirm. Power cycle after calibrating center.
Calibrate System
Calibrate System is only used if you notice any kind of drift in any of the axes. To calibrate the system,
place the Ronin-M on the tuning stand and make sure it is completely steady. Then tap the Calibrate
System button and let the process finish before picking up the Ronin-M.
Restore Default Settings
This will restore all of the factory settings that are configurable through the app.
Device List
To force the App to find the Ronin-M, select "Device List" to force the App to search for Bluetooth
devices it recognizes.
