Introduction / Package & Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The DJI Ronin is the culmination of years of stabilization experience built into our most advanced
camera stabilization platform to date. The technology built into the DJI Ronin allows a broad spectrum
of cameras varying in size and weight to be mounted for class leading stabilization. We’ve put years of
passion and excitement into the Ronin, bringing world-class movement translation and stability to the
professional cinematographer’s market.
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
our custom 32-bit processor, which processes movement calculations in milliseconds. This equates
to control and stability accuracy down to 0.02 degrees of translated movement, meaning your images
are going to be perfectly still in all three axes of movement. There are three operation modes in the
Ronin: underslung mode, upright mode and briefcase mode.
Below is the layout of the items inside the case. Not every item in this sheet is provided by DJI. There
are pre-cut slots for some additional accessories. For more information regarding what's included,
please refer to the "In the box" section of this manual.
Package & Instruction Sheet
Air pressure may be built up during air transportation or
during extreme barometric pressure changes. Loosen
the pressure valve knob on the side of the case prior
to transportation in these circumstances to prevent
pressure build up.

Intelligent Battery Installation
1. Loosen the thumb screws on either side of the battery. Slide the battery directly into the gimbal and
then slide down. Be sure the battery’s thumb screws go down into their locating slots making full
contact with the gimbal’s electrical leads.
2. Tighten the thumb screws on the battery to lock it in place.
Make sure the battery is powered off during the installation.
An incorrectly installed battery may lead to (1) Poor battery connection, or (2) Unavailable
battery information.
Mounting the Camera
The Ronin uses an adjustable camera mounting plate to allow you to easily balance, install and
remove your camera. The Ronin has been tested with the following types of cameras. Other cameras
similar in size and weight may also work.
Black Magic Cinema Camera Canon 6D Nikon D800
Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera Canon 7D Panasonic GH3
Canon 1Dc Canon C100 Panasonic GH4
Canon 5DMKII Canon C300 RED Epic/Scarlet
Canon 5DMKIII Canon C500 Sony NEX7
Camera Size Requirements: the maximum depth
from the center of gravity on the camera base
plate is 140mm; the maximum height measured
from the top of the camera base plate is
225mm; and the maximum width is 195mm.As
shown in the picture on the right.
To avoid obstructing camera movement, the use
of soft connection cables is recommended.
1. Attach the camera mounting plate to your camera using the provided screws. Choose the correct
1/4" or 3/8" screws. Some cameras have two tripod mounting holes. It’s best to secure the camera
as tightly as possible. If two mounting holes are available on your camera, then use both mounting
holes. Choose the right screw holes according to your camera’s conguration.
2. Install the extension rod holder and lens support. Gently push up to apply a little pressure to the
lens, then tighten the thumbscrew.

Ronin
User Manual
Why do you need to use a lens support?
Certain cameras have a very tight lens securing system, and some cameras like the Canon
5D MKII and MKIII have very loose lens securing systems. The Ronin balances the camera as
one solid unit. If the mounted camera has a loose camera securing system, the lens support
must be used. This is because if a loose connection between the lens and the camera body
is apparent, vibrations could travel through to the camera but not directly to the lens, resulting
in the two masses shaking at different frequencies. The resulting oscillation will translate to the
IMU, causing the whole gimbal to shake. If the lens support ts, it's best to use it at all times.
The lens support can be installed either facing outward or inward to accommodate different
lens types.
Ensure alignment of the camera plate and then tighten the screw prior to tightening the lens
support.
3. If using follow focus or other accessories, insert the extension rod into the extension rod holder and
tighten. Congure the length of the rods needs to accommodate for the length of the lens used.
4. With the gimbal on the tuning stand facing outward, insert the camera until the safety lock is
engaged. Make sure the gimbal is not turned on when balancing the camera.
5. Tighten the camera base side clamp. You can adjust the tightness of the side clamp with the M3
allen wrench.

Handle Bar Adjustment
The customizable handle bar of the Ronin can be removed by following the steps below, if required.
1. Loosen screw on either grip.
2. Remove the grip from the handle bar. Loosen the two screws and then the top bar can be removed.
3. The resulting setup is shown below.
Balancing
To achieve the best performance from the Ronin, proper balancing is necessary and a must. Accurate
balance is critical in shots where the Ronin 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 3 axes that need to be accurately balanced prior to powering the Ronin on
and setting up the software.
The camera needs to be fully setup with all accessories prior to installing and balancing the
camera on the gimbal. If you are balancing the camera with a lens cap on, be sure to remove
the lens cap prior to balancing. Be sure whenever balancing the camera that the Ronin’s
power is turned off.
Balancing

Ronin
User Manual
Step 1: Balancing the Tilt Axis
First, we need to balance the camera fore and aft on the Tilt Axis. When the proper fore and aft tilt
balance is achieved, the camera will stay level when you remove your hands.
1. Loosen the camera base's side clamp 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. It takes very small
adjustments to get the balance right.
3. 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 2: Balancing the Roll Axis
Balancing the camera left-to-right on the Roll Axis is also required. When the proper left/right roll
balance is achieved, the camera will stay level.
1. Loosen the 2 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 2 lock-knobs to lock the camera mounting plate in position.
Step 3: Balancing the Vertical Tilt
To adjust the vertical balance, you will need to change the camera’s vertical position. When proper balance
is achieved, you can rotate the camera to any tilt angle, and it will stay in that position.
Adjust the height of the crossbar to achieve vertical tilt balance.
1. Rotate the Tilt Axis so that the camera lens is pointing skyward as much as your lens setup will allow
and loosen the two vertical adjustment tabs.
2. Gently slide the camera mount crossbar forward or backward until the camera remains pointing
skyward when released.
When adjusting the roll balancing position of the camera, only loosen the 2 lock-knobs a few
turns to allow the camera base to slide. Do not loosen the lock-knobs excessively.

Ronin
User Manual
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. Loosen the two tabs on the pan axis knuckle and turn the knobs to slide the assembly.
2. Identify if the Ronin is front heavy or rear heavy. Turn the knobs and reposition them by pulling
outwards to slide the pan slider forwards or backwards.
3. While the Ronin is resting on the tuning stand, try rotating the Ronin along the pan axis by lifting one
side of the handle bar. If the camera does not swing, the pan axis is properly balanced. Ensure you
tighten the two tabs after balancing is completed.
3. Tighten the tabs and be sure the measurement marks match up on either side 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. Once the tab is tightened, manually rotate the assembly
simulating tilt to ensure there is no binding in the tilt motor. Sometimes you may need to go back
and balance the fore and aft tilt axis balance if the vertical balance required a signicant change.
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.

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," on the selected axis, by the
camera’s operator. The steering/translation speed can be adjusted for each axis independently. When
the Ronin'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 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.
The roll axis speed will determine how fast the camera will travel while translating a roll movement. Roll
deadband will determine how much movement the gimbal will tolerate prior to translating the camera’s roll.
The 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 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
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
User Manual
1. Gimbal 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 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 conguration 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 ne 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. Gimbal SmoothTrack Mode
Refer to the Basic Settings section for details relating to SmoothTrack Mode (P18).
Control Menu
1. Controller Deadband
Thumb Controller and the remote operator controller can have independent pan and tilt deadbands of
movement. The larger the deadband, the more deadband there is in the stick movement prior to the
input being translated to actual movement of the gimbal.
2. Controller 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 rst 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 thumb controller and the remote operator control sticks can have maximum speeds set
independently from each other.

3. Controller 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 thumb 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 thumb controller. Pan Axis endpoints setting means during controller input, the
maximum point in which the gimbal will rotate left or right.
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.
Tilt Axis endpoints can be adjusted independently for up and down movement when used with a
remote control or the thumb controller. Tilt Axis endpoints setting means during controller input, the
maximum point in which the gimbal will rotate up or down.
The Pan and Tilt endpoints can be tested. Ensure there is no obstruction of the camera when tapping
the Test buttons.
5. Channels
This is a channel indicator to provide feedback during remote operator conguration. Pan, Tilt, and
Roll can be re-assigned to either of the remote control sticks. The controlled axis can also be reversed.
6. Controller 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-congured to be selectable on the 2nd operator remote
control. 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 remote
control. These presets will allow you to change the SmoothTrack speed remotely. If the remote control

Briefcase Mode
When Briefcase Mode is switched on, the Ronin will be able to seamlessly transform into this
operational mode. With Briefcase Mode turned off, the Ronin will continue to allow the Roll axis to
follow.
Motor Kill
When activated, the Ronin 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.
Roll Control
When the Roll Remote Control is off, the roll axis movement cannot be controlled by a remote control
or the thumb controller.
Silent Mode
Enable Silent Mode to reduce the level of noise that is created by the motors in environments such as a
quiet room. By enabling silent mode, larger and sudden gimbal movements may not be as accurately
stabilized during use in situations such as running when silent mode wouldn’t really be needed. Use
silent mode in quiet conditions where light motor noise may be an issue during audio recording.
Otherwise, it is recommended to leave silent mode off.
Calibrate Center
If the Ronin’s Pan axis is off center, you can recalibrate the true center of the Ronin 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 conrm. 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 on the tuning stand and make sure it is completely steady. Then tap the Calibrate
System button and let the process nish before picking up the Ronin.
Restore Default Settings
This will restore all the factory settings that are congurable through the app.

User Manual
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 in a slim profile close to your body. To enter briefcase
mode, rotate the handle bar 90 degrees so that it is perpendicular to the ground. You may turn briefcase
mode off in the gimbal app, in which case the Ronin will never automatically transform into briefcase
mode. In briefcase mode, the remote control does not have pan or roll control of the Ronin.
Maintenance
The figure to the right shows the proper way to
transport the Ronin with the stand. Using the hook-
and-loop straps, lock the Ronin gimbal in place as
shown. Be sure to undo the straps prior to turning
the Ronin on!
The Ronin is a precise machine and it is not water
resistant. Keep it away from sand and dust during
usage. After use, it is recommended to wipe the
Ronin down with a soft dry cloth. Never spray any
cleaning liquids onto the Ronin.

Troubleshooting
NO. The Problem What to Do
1 Motors appear to be weak After camera balancing, launch the Assistant App or the PC
Assistant and start the Auto Tune Stability. Wait for the process
to complete and the stiffness settings will be populated on the
screen.
2 If 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.
3 Pan axis seems off center Go into the Assistant App or PC Assistant, tap/click the
Calibrate Center and follow the on-screen instructions.
4 Ronin seems to be drifting Place the Ronin on the tuning stand and in the Assistant App
or the PC Assistant, tap/click the Calibrate System button. Let
the process complete before picking up the Ronin.
5 SmoothTrack 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
Assistant software.
(3) The SmoothTrack Deadband is turned up too high.
Reduce the Deadband size in the SmoothTrack Menu.
6 Motors 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.
7 Gimbal shuts off and
doesn’t come back on
Power cycle the gimbal. This is a motor protection algorithm
that’s built into the Ronin 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 will shut off power to the motors and will not come back
to life unless power cycled.
8 Forgot the Bluetooth
password
Connect Ronin to the PC Assistant and click the "Reset
Password" button to reset your password.
9 Footage 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.
