It also support to be used on vehicle, Jib or Wirecam. The technology built into the DJI Ronin-MX allows a broad spectrum of cameras, of varying sizes and weights, to be stabilized during filming.    Using with the DJI SRW-60G, the Ronin-MX can rotate 360 degrees continuously while obtaining the HD video link. It can also be connected to DJI Lightbridge 2 during aerial shot for video link. The Ronin-MX is compatible with DJI Focus, too.    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 DJI’s custom  32-bit processor,  which  processes movement calculations  in milliseconds. This reduces angular vibration to less than 0.02˚ of translated movement, meaning that the camera will remain perfectly steady. The Ronin-MX can be used in different operation modes: underslung mode, upright mode, briefcase mode and so on.

Mount the Intelligent Battery Power Distributor with an Intelligent Battery here to supply power for your camera or other accessories, if needed.    Mounting the Camera The Ronin-MX uses an adjustable camera mounting plate that allows you to easily balance, install, and remove the camera. The Ronin-MX has been tested with the following types of cameras. Other cameras similar in size and weight may also be compatible.    Black Magic Cinema Camera Canon 5D MK III Nikon D800 Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera Canon 6D Panasonic GH3 Canon 1Dc Canon 7D Panasonic GH4 Canon 5D MK II Canon C100 Sony Alpha 7 RED EPIC ARRI ALEXA Mini   Camera Size Requirements The maximum depth from the center of gravity on the camera base plate is 120 mm. The maximum height, measured from the top of the camera base plate, is 130 mm. The maximum width is 160 mm.   ● Make sure the camera is powered off during installation.  ● It is recommended to use soft connection cables to avoid obstructing camera movement.
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.    How to mount the camera 1. Attach the camera mounting plate to your camera using the provided camera screws A, B, C or D. Choose  the correct screw  holes  according  to  your camera’s configuration.  Some cameras have two tripod mounting holes. If two mounting holes are available on your camera, use them both. Secure the camera as firmly as possible. 2. Install the lens support by gently pushing it up, so that it is applying light pressure to the lens. Then tighten the thumbscrew.  Note: Camera screws A and B only fit the holes of the mounting plate, while camera screws C and D only fit the slot of the mounting plate. Be sure to use the correct 1/4" or 3/8" screws.   Why do you need to use a lens support? Certain cameras have a very tight lens  securing system, and some cameras such as  the Canon 5D MKII and MKIII have very loose lens securing systems. The Ronin-MX balances the camera as one solid unit. If the mounted camera has a loose lens securing system, the lens support must be used. This is because a loose connection between the lens and the camera body may allow vibrations that travel through to the camera but not directly to the  lens,  resulting  in  the  two  masses  shaking  at  different  frequencies.  The  resulting oscillations will be transmitted to the IMU, causing the whole gimbal to shake. If the lens support fits, it's best to use it at all times.     ● The lens support can be installed facing outward or inward  to accommodate different lens types.  ● Ensure alignment of the camera base plate and then tighten the mounting screw, before tightening the lens support.  3. Mount the Camera Upper Mounting Plate to the top of the camera through the hot shoe and then tighten it.
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.    4. With the gimbal facing outward on the tuning stand, slide the mounting plate into the receiver until the safety lock engages. Adjust the vertical position of the cross bar to meet the camera upper mounting plate. 5. When the camera achieves a rough balance, tighten the camera base side clamp and the lock -knob.  Note: You can adjust the tightness of the clamp with an M3 Allen wrench.  Configuring the Handle Bar   The customizable handle bar of the Ronin-MX can be removed, if necessary. Loosen the two grip screws where the handle bar meets the gimbal then remove the grips from the handle bar. You can remove one or both sides of the handle bar. The resulting configuration is shown below.
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.    Balancing To obtain the best performance from the Ronin-MX, proper balancing is a must. Accurate balance is critical  for shots  where the  Ronin-MX will be  subjected to extreme  movements  or accelerations (running, horseback  riding,  biking, car mounts, helicopters,  etc.) Proper  balance will  also offer a longer battery runtime. There are three axes that need to be accurately balanced prior to turning on the Ronin-MX and setting up the software.   The  camera  needs  to  be  fully  configured,  with  all  accessories,  prior  to  installing  and balancing the camera on the gimbal. If the camera has a lens cap, be sure to remove it prior to balancing. Be sure that the Ronin-MX’s power is turned off while balancing the camera.    Step 1: Balancing the Vertical Tilt To  adjust the vertical balance, you will need to change the camera’s vertical position. Adjust the height of the crossbar to achieve vertical tilt balance. 1. Rotate the Tilt Axis so that the camera  lens is pointing upward, then loosen the two vertical adjustment tabs and the lock-knobs on the top cross bar.   2. Gently slide the camera mount crossbar forwards or backwards until the camera points upwards when released. 3. Tighten the tabs and lock-knobs, then manually rotate the assembly, simulating tilt, to ensure there is no binding in the tilt motor. When proper balance is achieved, you can rotate the camera to any tilt angle and it will stay in that position (while holding the roll axis in position).     Ensure that the measurement marks match up on both of the vertical bars. If they do not match up, the assembly could possibly be skewed higher or lower on one side, which would cause the tilt motor to bind.  Step 2: Balancing the Roll Axis Balancing the camera, from left to right, on the Roll Axis is also required. When the proper left/right roll balance is achieved, the camera will remain level. 1. Loosen the three lock-knobs to allow the camera and mounting plate to slide left and right.   2. Slide the camera left or right until the Roll Axis remains level. 3. Tighten the three lock-knobs to lock the camera mounting plate in position.
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.       When adjusting the roll balance position of the camera, only loosen the two lock-knobs a few turns to allow the camera base to slide. Do not loosen the lock-knobs excessively. Step 3: Balancing the Tilt Axis  1. Loosen the camera base's side clamp and the lock-knob on the cross bar to allow the camera and mounting plate to slide forwards and backwards.   2. Slide  the  camera  forwards  or  backwards  until  the  tilt  axis  remains  level.  Only  very  small adjustments are required to achieve the proper balance. 3. Tighten the side clamp to lock the camera and mounting plate in position.  When the proper fore and aft tilt balance is achieved, the camera will stay level when  you  remove  your  hand (while holding the roll axis in position).    Step 4: Balancing the Pan Axis To achieve the pan axis balance, you must adjust the pan axis slide. 1. Open the clamp [1] on the pan axis and turn the knob [2] to slide the assembly. Identify if the Ronin-MX is front heavy or rear heavy. Rotate the Ronin-MX on the stand so one side is higher than the other, if the front end rotates from the higher position to the lower position and that means the Ronin-MX is currently front heavy, then you will need to slide the gimbal backward, otherwise you need to slide the gimbal forward. 2. Tighten the clamp after balancing is completed. While the Ronin-MX is resting on the tuning stand, try rotating the Ronin-MX. If the camera does not swing, the pan axis is properly balanced.

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.   Tuning and Operation for Handheld Usage   DJI Ronin-MX Assistant App Tuning   After balancing the mechanism, you can fine tune the balance by adjusting software parameters in the DJI Assistant app, and configure your Ronin-MX.   Download and Install   1. Download the DJI Assistant app.   For the iOS version, search “DJI Assistant” in the App Store, then follow the installation instructions.   Search “DJI Ronin” in Google Play, then follow the installation instructions for the Android version. 2. Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and orient the camera in the standard operating position (facing forwards). Turn on your Ronin-MX, then launch the DJI Assistant App. 3. When using the DJI Assistant app for the first time, you will be prompted to register using a valid e-mail address.   4.  Connect  your  device  to  the  Ronin-MX  by  following  the  step-by-step  instructions  in  the  DJI
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.    Assistant app. After connecting to the gimbal’s main control, you will see the Wizard menu. When the  indicator  at  the  top  of  the  screen  displays  solid  green  and  the  blue  light  is  blinking,  the connection is complete. The green LED on the Ronin-MX will also light up.   5. Activation is required when use the Ronin-MX for the first time, otherwise the gimbal will not work. To activate your Ronin-MX, connect your mobile device to Internet, then enter the ‘More’ page in the DJI Assistant app and tap the ‘Activate’ button.     ●  After  enabling  Bluetooth  on  your  mobile  device,  return  to  the  DJI  Assistant  app  to connect  to  the  Ronin-MX.  The  Ronin-MX  will  not  appear  in  the  mobile  device’s Bluetooth device list. It can only be connected via the DJI Assistant app.  ● The iOS version and Android version of the DJI Assistant app functions are the same. Assistant pages shown in this manual are from the iOS version. Basic Settings The functions accessible in the Wizard are the most basic functions you may want to adjust upon receiving your Ronin-MX. These options are also the most frequently used functions during standard operation. You can adjust all of these settings in the Wizard menu.    1. Calibrate Auto Tune Stability provides an easy one-touch button for automatic configuration of each axis. The trajectory,  speed,  power,  and  stiffness  of  motors  are  automatically  tuned  for  the  camera configuration  that  is  mounted.  Auto  Tune  Stability  should  be  tapped  whenever  a  new  camera configuration is mounted or whenever the lens or accessories are changed. This will ensure stability and provide ideal calibration settings. 2. Live Data This data represents the feedback from each motor axis. If a particular motor axis indicates a power reading  greater  than  10,  this  often  means  the  mechanical  balance  of  the  camera  hasn’t  been properly adjusted. A properly balanced camera rig will display readings close to 0 power on each axis,  but these values  may vary.  The  angle  reading  indicates the  current angle  of each axis  is in relation to center.
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.     3. Briefcase Mode When Briefcase Mode is switched on, the Ronin-MX will be able to seamlessly transform into this operation mode. With Briefcase Mode turned off, the Ronin-MX will allow the camera to roll when the Ronin-MX is tilted past the standard roll axis parameters.  4. SmoothTrack Mode When SmoothTrack Mode is enabled, the Ronin-MX will can be "steered," on the selected axis, by the camera’s operator. The steering/translation speed can be adjusted for each axis independently. When the Ronin-MX's top bar is rotated left or right, the camera will move, smoothly following the user’s input, and stop at the appropriate angle. In the SmoothTrack options menu, the settings for the pan axis, roll axis and the tilt axis can be independently adjusted.    The speed will determine how fast the camera will travel while translating a pan/roll/tilt movement. Deadband will determine  how  much  movement  the  gimbal  will  tolerate  prior  to  translating  the camera’s pan/roll/tilt.  The  Acceleration  determines  how  closely  the  camera  will  follow  the  translated  pan/tilt/roll movement.  When  mounting  a  heavy  camera  (such  as  RED)  on  the  Ronin-MX,  the  Acceleration  should  be adjusted properly. If the acceleration is too large, the camera could not stop steady due to the inertia. If  the  acceleration  is  too  small,  the  SmoothTrack  speed  of  the  gimbal  could  not  reach  at  the maximum speed.   The SmoothTrack pan, roll, and tilt speed can be tested. Ensure there is no obstruction of the camera before tapping the test button.  5. Control Speed Adjustment The remote control speed can be adjusted here. This setting represents the maximum speed in the pan and tilt axis when the remote control sticks are pushed all the way in any given direction.
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.    Advanced Settings There are more advanced functions you can adjust through the Assistant to meet your requirements. Gimbal Menu          1. Motor Adjustment    It is highly recommended to choose the Camera Type (SLR Camera or RED Camera) to obtain best Stiffness, Strength, Outfilter and Control value.  The Auto Tune Stability button allows for automatic adjustment of each motor’s stiffness (as relayed from the sensors and interpreted by the Ronin-MX) to accomplish an optimized setting. Besides the stiffness, there are other electronic settings being tuned.
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.    The motor stiffness adjustment allows the user to fine tune the amount of power that is applied by the motors as they react and balance the weight on each axis. The higher you adjust the stiffness settings, without causing any vibrations or oscillations to the gimbal, the better your experience will be.    There will be default settings for Strength, Outfilter and Control value, it is not recommended to adjust these values by yourself. Increase the Strength will reduce the error of the gimbal attitude. If the gimbal appears high frequency vibration, increase the Outfilter value. Increase the Control value will compensate the angular vibration.    2. SmoothTrack Mode Refer to the Basic Settings section for details relating to SmoothTrack Mode.  3. Angle Adjustment Enable Manual Adjustment to allow the pan and tilt axes to be adjusted by hand when the Ronin-MX is turned on. The trim adjustment controls the amount of trim that is applied to each off-center axis. The default setting of 0˚ represents center.    Control Menu  1. Deadband The thumb controller and the remote operator control can have independently adjusted pan and tilt deadband settings. The larger the deadband, the more stick movement will be required to translate into actual movement of the gimbal.  2. Maximum Speed Maximum Speed is a function that prevents the control stick response from being a linear response, which is also known as an increasing response curve. This means the amount that the gimbal moves on the pan or tilt axis is not directly proportional to control stick manipulation.
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.    Control stick response can be adjusted to be milder below the first half of control stick travel and increased to a higher speed towards the last half of control stick travel. The preset exponential curve is calibrated based on maximum speed input.   The maximum speeds of the thumb controller and the remote control sticks can be set independent of each other.  3. Smoothing   When the control stick input is released, the translated movement will be smoother and slower than if the smoothing is increased. If smoothing is set to 0, the slowdown will be translated as an abrupt stop. The thumb controller and remote operator control sticks can be set independently. Pan and tilt smoothing can also be independently adjusted.  4. Remote Control Endpoints Adjustment Pan axis endpoint settings determine the farthest points to which the gimbal will rotate left or right during  controller  input.  Pan  axis  endpoints  can  be  adjusted  independently,  for  left  and  right movement, when used with a remote control or the thumb controller.    Tilt axis endpoint settings control the maximum points to which the gimbal can rotate up or down. Tilt axis endpoints can be adjusted independently for up and down movement when used with a remote control or the thumb controller.    The pan and tilt endpoints can be tested. Ensure the camera is unobstructed before tapping the test buttons.  The default endpoint settings for pan axis are set to 0, that means there is no endpoint for pan axis so that it can rotate 360° continuously, the pan axis will not move when the "Test Pan Endpoint" button is pressed.  5. Channels The channel indicator provides feedback during remote operator configuration. Pan, tilt, and roll can be re-assigned to either of the remote control sticks. Each axis can also be reversed.  6. Settings Controller Priority: If both input devices simultaneously send control signals to the gimbal, the input
©2016 DJI. All Rights Reserved.    from the selected controller will take priority and will control the device at that given time.  Pan/Tilt Remote Speed Adjustment: Click to choose combined or independent settings.  Speed Toggle Presets: These presets will allow you to change the SmoothTrack speed remotely. If the remote control is turned on, the Speed Toggle Presets for SmoothTrack will take precedence over the Assistant settings. Once the remote control is turned off, the SmoothTrack settings in the Assistant will take over.    Viewer Menu   The viewer provides all the essential live data for monitoring the gimbal’s electronics, as well as feedback from the motors. Power is indicated for each axis. The current angle of each axis is also indicated. The voltage of the battery, temperature of the main electronics, and also current uptime can also be monitored via this menu.
