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. [1] [2] 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. 16 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. DJI Ronin-M Assistant App Tuning After finishing the balancing, you can adjust software parameters through the DJI Assistant App. Download and Install 1. Download the DJI Assistant App: Search “DJI Assistant” on the App Store then follow instructions for the iOS version. Search “DJI Ronin” on the Google Play then follow instructions for the Android version. 2. Be sure Bluetooth is switched to the on position on your mobile device. Position the camera in the standard operating position. Power on your Ronin-M and then open the app to connect to the Ronin-M via Bluetooth. 3. Register your e-mail address when you use the app for the first time. 4. Connect to your Ronin-M according to the tips in the app. After connecting to the main controller of the gimbal, you will see the Wizard menu. When the green light at the top in the app is steady and the blue light is blinking, the connection is complete. The green LED light on the Ronin-M will light up. After switching on Bluetooth on your mobile device, go back to the Assistant App to connect to the Ronin-M. The Ronin-M will not show up in the settings menu of your mobile device. It can only be connected to via the app. There are two device types, choose " Ronin" to enter the gimbal assistant page. Choosing "A2" will enter the DJI flight controller assistant page. The function of the iOS and Android app are the same, below is taking the iOS version for example. Basic Settings The functionality in the Wizard are the most basic functions you may want to adjust upon receiving your Ronin-M. These options are also the most used functions during standard operation of the Ronin-M. You can complete all these settings in the Wizard menu.

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.

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.

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. © 2015 DJI.

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 20 © 2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. Ronin-M User Manual controller is turned on, the Speed Toggle Presets for SmoothTrack will take precedence over the App settings.
