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.

Adding a Third-Party Transmitter/Receiver
The Ronin-M supports 3rd party transmitters/receivers, such as D-Bus. Connect the transmitter through
the integrated port (refer to the Ronin-M Diagram for the location of the D-Bus port).
Operation Modes
There are three operation modes for the Ronin-M: Underslung Mode, Upright Mode and Briefcase
Mode.
Underslung Mode
Underslung Mode is the standard, default mode. The Ronin-M can be used in this mode without any
adjustments.
Operation Modes
Upright Mode
Flip the gimbal forward 180 degrees and it will automatically change to Upright Mode. Alternatively,
you can change the gimbal into upright mode before turning it on. Upright Mode is ideal for car
mounts or other top down perspective camera positions, as it allows you to shoot higher and/or at eye
