    They discounted it for a reason and they didn’t notice anyone who bought it why … I’m thinking we may have a lawsuit on our hands if we can gather everyone who’s been fucked over

      I’m not the most knowledgeable but if they realized all there ronin ms are having the same issue and they discounted them why didn’t they issue a recall and help out anyone who purchased an M .. besides the batteries there’s a firmware/ wiring issue

    My Ronin sat in its case for 2 years. I bought it in December 2018, worked great. Turned it on the other day, batteries dead. Everything you mentioned in the video, happened to me.

    DJI is focused on making money not excelent products. I had exactly the same call on my end with DJI. They even said "oh yeah then you have to buy a DJI RS2 or get the successor the Ronin 2. I am still owning the Original Ronin 1 who can stabilize 7kg payloads which none of the DJI RS3's or RS2's can. And I am not willing to use counterweights all the time to just balance my Red camera. I'm working on a V-Mount / P-Tap / D-Tap solution on my own.

    Crazy cuz I bought a new battery, used it from time to time but left it at storage charge for around 3 months. Went to use it and it displayed 2.5 / 4 ‘bars’ of battery but then it wouldn’t power on? Plugged it into charger and it killed itself off. 🤦🏼‍♂️

  • @eliasnolte4355

    Have a mx now for one and a half year and the batteries are still good. A school I went to had a ronin M that was in use 24/7 in quite a rough environment with bad user condition. But the M was still going strong. Only time it broke down was one year before me when the students fried the motor after a lot of careless usage with them not calibrating it. Got fixed and belive it is still going strong. I live in Norway (EU) and wondering what region you are located in if you're experiencing that the batteries sucks? Can it be a regional production problem?

    Glad I paid only 100$ for the entire Ronin-M setup earlier this year. A classic "proprietary battery sucks and patent prevents third party intervention" scenario, I see. Whenever it dies, it dies. I ain't buying a new gimbal, I don't use it enough to justify spending more than 200$ on one. Also, the older gimbals are pretty much left to die when it comes to software support, the newer app won't even recognize them and you have to download an .apk from DJI website just to run the app, and then it's only a matter of luck to get the bluetooth to pair. Cable connection to a computer also kinda sucks.
