movements have no denition.
Right Stick: Horizontal
movements on the right stick
control the Pan axis.
Right Stick:Vertical movements
on the right stick control the Tilt
axis.
These stick settings can be customized in the DJI Ronin-M Assistant App or PC Assistant.

Operation Modes
There are three operation modes in the Ronin-M: underslung mode, upright mode and briefcase
mode.
Underslung Mode
Underslung mode is the standard, default mode. It can be used without any user input.
Upright Mode
Flip the gimbal forward 180 degrees and it will automatically change to upright mode. Alternatively,
you can set the gimbal into upright mode before turning it on. Upright mode is ideal for car mounts
or other high camera positions, as it allows you to shoot higher and/or at eye level. Upright mode can
be used without any user input. Do not ip the gimbal over sideways going left or right to convert to 
upright mode.

Briefcase Mode
Briefcase mode allows you to hold the Ronin-M in a slim prole close to your body. To enter briefcase 
mode, tilt the gimbal on the roll axis 90 degrees to the left or right. You may turn briefcase mode off in
the gimbal app, in which case the Ronin-M will never automatically transform into briefcase mode. In
briefcase mode, the remote control does not have pan, tilt, or roll control of the Ronin-M.
Maintenance
The gure to the right shows the proper way to transport the Ronin-M with the stand. Using the hook-
and-loop straps, lock the Ronin-M gimbal in place as shown. Be sure to undo the straps prior to turning
the Ronin-M on!

Troubleshooting
NO. The Problem What to Do
1Motors appear to be weak After camera balancing, launch the Assistant App or the PC/
MAC Assistant and start the Auto Tune Stability. Wait for
the process to complete and the stiffness settings will be
populated on the screen.
2If after tapping the Auto
Tune Stability button and
the gimbal is still vibrating
(1) Check to make sure all knobs are very tight. Including the
pan motor knob.
(2) Check to make sure the camera securing screw is tight.
Push on the camera plate to make sure it is not loose and
sliding in the camera mount.
(3) Try decreasing the stiffness of the each axis. You should
be able to tell if there is one particular axis being affected
by looking at the "power" of the axes.
3Pan axis seems off center Go into the Assistant App or PC/MAC Assistant, tap/click the
Calibrate Center and follow the on-screen instructions.
4Ronin seems to be drifting Place the Ronin-M on the tuning stand and in the Assistant App
or the PC/MAC Assistant, tap/click the Calibrate System button.
Let the process complete before picking up the Ronin-M.
5SmoothTrack doesn’t work (1) Turn on the Remote control and be sure the MODE switch
is not at Position 1 (the uppermost position).
(2) SmoothTrack is turned off in the Assistant App or the PC/
MAC Assistant software.
(3) The SmoothTrack Deadband is turned up too high.
Reduce the Deadband size in the SmoothTrack Menu.
6Motors seem to shutoff
automatically
Check your camera balance. If the power indicated in the
Gimbal Motors Menu indicates 10 or more on any of the 3
axes, please rebalance your camera.
7Gimbal shuts off and
doesn’t come back on
Power cycle the gimbal. This is a motor protection algorithm
that’s built into the Ronin-M to save its own electronic
components. If any particular motor goes into a self-protection
mode (motor shuts off) 6 times within a 1 minute period, the
Ronin-M will shut off power to the motors and will not come
back to life unless power cycled.
8Forgot the Bluetooth
password
Connect Ronin-M to the PC/MAC Assistant and click the
"Reset Password" button to reset your password.
9Footage appears to
wobble side to side or up
and down
SmoothTrack speed is too high or SmoothTrack deadband
is too low. Decrease the SmoothTrack speed or increase the
deadband.
