Support for Ronin 2

Ronin 2 uses the same batteries as the Inspire 2.

No. The Ronin 2 is only compatible with Ronin 2 or Inspire 2 batteries and is NOT compatible with any previous Ronin series batteries.

When powering the Ronin 2 and a RED Dragon camera simultaneously, the Ronin 2 dual battery system will last up to 2.5 hours.

When using the Inspire 2 charging hub, it will take approximately 90 minutes to fully charge both batteries.

A hot-swappable battery eliminates power-related downtime to ensure maximum available power. For example, when shooting a scene with batteries at low power, hot swappable batteries allow you to change one of the batteries without turning off the camera system, gimbal, or accessories. Hot-swappable batteries thus allow you to shoot continuously and uninterrupted.

Yes. The battery system is designed with a P-TAP port that allows you to power your accessories with industry standard power cables.

Ronin 2 is compatible with a large number of cameras.
After testing, ARRI Alexa Mini, RED Dragon, ARRI Alexa XT, Blackmagic URSA Mini, Sony FS7, etc. can be mounted to the Ronin 2. For more supported cameras and lenses, visit DJI’s official website.
The biggest device we’ve tested so far is the Arri Alexa Mini with a Canon CINE-SERVO 17-120mm lens.
The maximum length between the center of the camera’s mounting base and the roll axis is 245 mm. The width of the camera cannot be wider than 180 mm while the height cannot be higher than 165 mm.

The largest lens tested on the Ronin 2 with an Alexa Mini weighed about 6.6lbs (3kg). But the largest size of lens varies based off different cameras. The maximum load weight of the Ronin 2 is 13.6 kg.

For selected cameras, you can control its settings such as ISO, frame rate, resolution or start/stop through the Ronin 2’s new camera control module.

Accessory power connections: 14.4 V x 4 Camera Cage (Combined 8A)
12.6 V x 2 Pan Axis Motor (Combined 4A)
12.6 V x 1 P-Tap (8A)
Connections: 2.4 GHz/5.8 GHz remote control, Bluetooth 4.0, and USB Type-C
The Ronin 2 can supply power to many cameras with power connections and multiple power supply ports can be extended.
The Ronin 2 supports HD-SDI port.

Yes. The new remote controller is smaller than before with a more functional joystick. It can operate at dual control frequency bands 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.

Users can now change the control speeds of the joystick directly on the remote controller by tweaking the knobs, without changing any settings in the gimbal assistant app.

Unobstructed control range is over 1 km.

The new gimbal assistant app has all the fundamental gimbal parameters such as SmoothTrack settings, motor stiffness, and gimbal operation modes. Included are new intelligent features that are studio-oriented such as Panorama, Timelapse and direct control of supported cameras.

Ronin 2’s new built-in ultra-bright touch screen provides the convenience of changing gimbal settings without using a mobile device directly on the gimbal. With the built-in screen, users are now able to change most of the settings they see on the new gimbal assistant app.

Yes.

Yes. The built-in GPS module allows the gimbal to work smoothly at high or accelerated speed.
An additional GPS module can be mounted to the Ronin 2 for diminishing the interference with the GPS signal.

1. Press the C1 button and C2 button once, then press and hold them until the remote controller beeps. When the remote controller emits “DDD, DDD, …” sounds, the calibration is enabled successfully.
Note: Do not touch the joystick before the calibration is enabled, or the calibration will fail to be enabled. If so, operate the preceding operations again.
2. Push the joystick to the endpoints in multiple directions (top, bottom, left, and right) multiple times and rotate the roll axis knob clockwise and counterclockwise to the end point, respectively.
3. Press and hold the C1 and C2 buttons at the same time to complete the calibration. When the remote controller emits “DD” sounds, the calibration is complete. If no sound is heard, the calibration fails. If so, operate the preceding steps to recalibrate the joystick.

1. On the Ronin 2’s built-in screen, tap “Setting”, enter the General screen, toggle the dial to select “Start” under Bind Device, and tap it to start linking.
2. Press and hold the power button on the remote controller to power on and the LED on the remote controller will be solid red.
3. Press the C1 button and C2 button at the same time, then press the red REC button without releasing the C1 button and C2 button to start linking. The remote controller will emit “D, D, D…” sounds. When the linking is successful, “D, DD” sounds can be heart and the LED on the remote controller will be solid green. Otherwise, link the remote controller to the Ronin 2 again.
The remote controller only needs to be connected to the Ronin 2 once in the first use. When using another remote controller with the Ronin 2, operate the preceding steps to link it to the Ronin 2.

Yes. Enter the Monitor screen, tap “Log”, and check the gimbal error logs.

Yes. When the Ronin 2 shifts during use, go to the Setting screen, and tap “General” and “Calibrate Sys” to start the calibration.

Yes, the Handheld, Car Mount, Aerial, and Tripod modes for the Ronin 2 can be switched with the built-in screen.

Yes, the Lock, SmoothTrack, FPV, and Center gimbal modes for the Ronin 2 can be switched with the built-in screen.

Yes, enter the SmoothTrack screen and set the parameters including “Speed”, “Deadband”, and “Accel”.

Yes. After the Ronin 2 is balanced and powered on, enter the Motor screen on the built-in screen and tap “Auto tune”.

Enter the Monitor screen, tap “Device”, and the connection information of the remote controller, GPS, aircraft, DJI Focus, Shutter, etc. will be shown under Device.

1) Ensure that the Bluetooth on the mobile device is turned on. Power on the Ronin 2 and launch Ronin assistant app. The app will automatically search the Ronin 2’s Bluetooth. Select the corresponding Bluetooth, and click “OK”. If it is connected for the first time, the app will ask you to name the Ronin 2 and set the password.
2) The Ronin 2 supports Auto Tune. You can calibrate the motor and other sensors based on the camera’s weight. When using Auto Tune, ensure the gimbal and camera are balanced.
3) Under the Auto Tune in the assistant app, power and three axes’ real-time attitude data are shown.

When SmoothTrack mode is enabled, you can control the gimbal pan and roll movements. Adjust the SmoothTrack settings to achieve stable shooting with different effects.

The motor stiffness adjustment allows you to fine tune the amount of power that is applied by the motors as they maintain the camera’s position. When the stiffness value is adjusted lower, you can push the camera easier. When the stiffness value is set properly, a suitable resistance will be provided by the motors to stabilize the camera when an external force is added.
If the camera vibrates, the stiffness value is set too high. Adjust the motor stiffness of each axis until the vibration disappears.
The motors’ angles can be fine-tuned.

Battery level, attitude, voltage, and temperature, etc. can be checked on the screen.
Tap “More” to check more functions.
In some demanding scenarios, the Ronin 2’s stability may be affected. The calibration system can reconfigure the Ronin 2’s built-in sensors.
When using the calibration system, place the Ronin 2 on an even ground. After the calibration is successful, restart the Ronin 2.

No.
