I had basically given up hope on my Ronin - had everything balanced but just couldn't stop it drifting upwards - had basically lost the will to go on - found your video by chance and I went through your video and changed the settings through the app and BINGO ! So thank you for this video appreciated. REALLY APPRECIATED !
Aloha Excellent Intro - I specially appreciated your including something that no on else seems to do. You show the correct way to set up very clearly - but you also intentionally set some things wrong and show the consequences. This showing the effect of improper/wrong setting is INVALUABLE for a newbie like me. I don't have to blindly follow the correct procedure because you demonstrate what to expect if set improperly. ALSO - your explanation of DEADBAND is the clearest and most accurate description ever recorded, Clear, concise, accurate (with error demos) EXCELLENT Mahalo !
The Gimbal with the RED on is a Ronin. The big one for cinema cameras and the one with the canon on is the smaller one. You have to buy the big Ronin for using RED's or cameras like that because of the weight.
Is it possible to tighten the clamp where you attach the mounting plate on to the center of the rig? The silver lack that folds, mines has come loose 🤔
Great Tutorial! Can you suggest a "how to link" on upgrading the firmware? I've to the DJI assistant on my mac desktop, now. I'm experience the tilt/horizon drift and hoping the new firmware will solve this problem. Thank you!
I finally Updated the firmware from the original firmware that shipped. and its actually seemed to have solved the horizon issue. I took it out yesterday and shot a little film and no problems.
I would love to try this bad boy out! Is it possible for the ronin to track me (pan in/out etc.) while I am in front of the camera (no camera man conducting from behind)? aka can I get great footage with this via hands free methods? Thanks in advance.
just got mine today 3/21/2017 i don't have the high adjustment as well what can we do? this thing took like 15 days to deliver and dji customer service the worst
I bought mine from a local DJI store here in Virginia last week and I don't have the extension stand either. I was told the RONIN MX has this stand in the video. smh
Question, according to DJI balance video, they say the back axis (back axis above battery) is suppose to stay forward center and backwards center and not line up with the handles? Can you help me on this confusion ?
I hope you can HELP, It doesn't look like Aerial Media Pros answer comments here, so this is for any of you who may know. I want a dedicated tablet for the Ronin M, what compatible tablet to YOU recommend? I don't want to use a cell phone and want to put the DJI Assistant app on a tablet that has the right bluetooth and OS capabilities. Thank you in advance.
Do you think the box containing the Ronin M can be carried in a case in a plane (in the hold) ? I'm taking a 10hrs flight soon, I have to keep all my fragile stuff on me (video gear, hard drives & co) but unfortunately I can't take everything in the cabin… I didn't get the Ronin yet but the case looks solid with the polystirene. But I'm still affraid, I already got 2 broken ND filtes plastic boxes that were well protected…
Does this work with a Camera like the Nikon D4. I have everything set up,.. but when it comes to balancing, the Nikon D4 just Rests on the back of the main Unit preventing it from Balancing,.. Help!
is it possible to make a video on resetting the password on the assistant app because i bought mines from someone im no longer in contact with and i cant connect my app to the ronin
I've purchased s Ronin-M but the supplier has sent me the original Ronin body (the tuning stand and frame) with Ronin-M batteries, handles bars etc (everything else Ronin-M), will this still be compatible and be able to work together or should I swap the original Ronin body for the M body?
question: in balancing my ronin-m, particularly on the tilt and roll axis, it won't find a point where it's "neutral". it comes back to even from both sides instead of staying in place, on both axis. what should i do?
Eric Schwantes It usually has to do with the vertical position of the tilt adjustment. Start with adjusting the tilt axis as shown with the camera on its back, and balance so the camera will be tilting around its center of gravity. Then take a look at roll and adjust little by little to reach center.
I bought a Ronin M, powered it on, wasn't a full charge but the battery light turned red, and my phone is shy device for that matter couldn't connect at all. Any help would be appreciated. Mine also has the smaller battery so I'm curious if thats the issue. The gimbal doesn't move at all when powered on.
Hi all, I've unboxed my Ronin M, only to discover my iPad 2 isn't compatible with the assistant App. What is a cheap device to begin using the App on? Many thanks
ive owned the ronin-m now for a few months, it's a great tool but no matter how much I balance ( and im pretty damn good at balancing it ) I noticed as of late the roll axis starting to shift. This never happened before and my setup hasn't changed. have you guys ran into this? I've just been using controller to fine tune but we shouldn't have to do that esp since we have the app. any idea whats going on?
Shirley Fulkord We would recommend checking the settings on your gimbal... in particular, the stiffness. Checking out our other RONIN video my be helpful: th-cam.com/video/U8jgQqk0Uho/w-d-xo.html
Alex Mcarthur I've seen this on other peoples video, whats going on? I think it has something to do with the roll axis motor because it's not an isolated incident.
was playing with my setting and it work better for me [pan axis-speed 15 deadband 1 acce 100] and [tilt axis-speed 33 deadband 8 accel o] roll axis-speed 0 deadband 0 accel o ]Shirley Fulkord
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME I am trying to balance my Ronin MX and I have followed the tutorial exactly. I am flying a 7D with a 16--35mm L lens. When I roll my camera over and change the tilt axis it stays there fine but the moment I move it my camera keeps pointing towards the floor (as if the tilt axis was set wrong) but it hasn't been. This is so frustrating wow.
So when I am using it the camera is perfect for the first 5 seconds of use but if I tilt up or down it will stay up or down and not come back to the centre.
Reviews on the M seem pretty far from good. I was looking forward to getting one, but the reviews have thrown me off. Seems there are more complaints than likes so far. Also Customer Service seems to be even worse..? Any thoughts now that you have had this a little more time..?
ekphotography Dont listen to anyone that doesn't like it. They have no idea how to use one. There is nothing better. I use mine for tv production and have been in production for 20 years. Any gimbal has to be practised to be of any use.
Manually balancing this overpriced gadget is a nightmare.. Even this guy had problems trying to get it stable. If they added an automatic balancing feature where you don't have to balance yourself it would be worth it. If you buy this you have to spend 1 hour each time you want to balance your camera....
If U are going to do video Use a REAL Video Camera JMHO If they made a Parfocal at a decent price for DSLR's then maybe I'll use my XA-30 Till then. Get Great Video and it is never out of focus. Zoom to infinity adjust focus set focus to Manual and every thing is in focus right down to 10'. Short depth of field SUCKs for the type of video I do. R/C Model Planes.
Freddy Acosta There are plenty of alternatives that you can get and some of them do run around 500 to 600 dollars (DYS Eagle Eye with 8 Bit AlexMos) however I do believe you are jumping the gun here because a DIY system will require some major know how. 1) You need carbon fibre tubing (too heavy otherwise) 2) you need a 32Bit Alexmos processor or Simple BGC (both require some major programming to balance ) 3) you will need 3 5203 Motors and a make shift casing for them if you want to use this gimbal outside and ensure it wont fall over from a drop of rain. You will need to do some clever wiring to put everything out of the way and ensure it doesnt affect the free movement of the motors .. what I am trying to say is .. yes the materials will probably run you $500-600. Your time spent however is going to really make this a bargain at $1400
Freddy Acosta You win. The biggest idiot on the planet. Go ahead and make one out of tubes then. Make i tout of paper mâché if you like. It will be cheaper.
You didn't actually balance the unit! That's not helpful when we are listening to you for guidance and you don't actually follow through with balancing it and what it takes.
I had basically given up hope on my Ronin - had everything balanced but just couldn't stop it drifting upwards - had basically lost the will to go on - found your video by chance and I went through your video and changed the settings through the app and BINGO !

brother is the red epic at 16:06 also on the DJI Ronin M? If so is there any additional stuff needed for RED EPIC camera to be mounted on it? Thanks
The Gimbal with the RED on is a Ronin. The big one for cinema cameras and the one with the canon on is the smaller one. You have to buy the big Ronin for using RED's or cameras like that because of the weight.
Great tutorial will the gimbal in spin mode will it go 360 for that spinning look in a video i want to do that spin visual .
Nice overview of the basics!
Best video for a in-depth look on balancing and app how to.
Is it possible to tighten the clamp where you attach the mounting plate on to the center of the rig? The silver lack that folds, mines has come loose 🤔

Have you solved this? Apparently with the Ronin Downgrading firmware fixes the problem.. Having roll drift issues..
I finally Updated the firmware from the original firmware that shipped. and its actually seemed to have solved the horizon issue. I took it out yesterday and shot a little film and no problems.

This video literally is saving my life. I just go my rental today and it did not come with instructions. Thank you for making this.
What company do you rent from?
Nice video I would love to see another video just balancing the gimbal.
9:15 Balancing
what hdmi cables are you using to connect cam to monitor? the ones that came with the gimbal catch and are too big.
i just bought a ronin and right off the bat my stand looks different. it doesnt have the high adjustment.
6th Element Imaging I think that was an older model. I think you have the newer model. Because mine is different as well
just got mine today 3/21/2017 i don't have the high adjustment as well what can we do? this thing took like 15 days to deliver and dji customer service the worst
I bought mine from a local DJI store here in Virginia last week and I don't have the extension stand either. I was told the RONIN MX has this stand in the video. smh
i dont have either and my stand is different too
Question, according to DJI balance video, they say the back axis (back axis above battery) is suppose to stay forward center and backwards center and not line up with the handles? Can you help me on this confusion ?
Do you need to use the lens support? It just obstructs my focus/zoom ring.
Thank you for this video i just unbox my RONIN and followed your every step, one question, what are the extra screws for.
Did u have trouble balancing it
info on the deadband was essential, thank you
Hey! Why my camera does not return to the center?
Balanced perfectly! Thanx!
Nice work. It was very efficient and we got this thing set up in an hour.
Thank you very much for posting this video. It helped me out to set up my ronin M!! Cheers from Chicago!!!
Glad we could help out! Cheers
Is it for both Nikon and Canon or its only for Canon DSLRs? I am trying to have it for D800.
Waseem Akbar The RONIN-M will work with most Canons and Nikons. It will work with most camera/lens setups under 8 lbs.
Can a canon 80D with a 18-135mm lens sit on this?? When I slid it on with the plate it drops strait down
Is it possible to set pre sets? Or do I have to re balance it every time I change lenses?
KeVideo You're going to have to rebalance since the lens is totally different
I hope you can HELP, It doesn't look like Aerial Media Pros answer comments here, so this is for any of you who may know. I want a dedicated tablet for the Ronin M, what compatible tablet to YOU recommend? I don't want to use a cell phone and want to put the DJI Assistant app on a tablet that has the right bluetooth and OS capabilities. Thank you in advance.

No it won't fit

same problem
@@joseordonez6618 no longer have this but turned out to be a bad battery.
Do you need wifi or data to use bluetooth on the app?
K Le You only need a device that supports the DJI Assistant App and has Bluetooth capability, no data or wifi required.
Thank you for replying.
Google it bruh bruh bruh bruh
Wait are you Kenon from Mornings With Fousey?
No
How do I download the latest firmware?
is it compatible with a Canon eos 7d mark ii ?
Is it safe to keep my battery grip on while using the stabilizer? The extra battery life is always helpful.
BRLYN BEY
No. You are placing g the centre of gravity too high. Take the battery grip off. The ronin battery will last at least 4 hours FYI.
Please how to activate the roll mode ???

Is the Ronin-M able to carry a Red+Lense?
Stripped down yes
Great tutorial! Thanks!
How long does the battery last??
Hi,
Will a Canon XF205 fit the Ronin M? as I can't get any info anywhere.
Kevin
Veterans Voice Media Due to the length of that camcorder, it would not likely fit on the RONIN-M.
what about battery life? how many mins? is that come with one or two batteries?
two
I've been messing up for over a year now🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Thank you!!
Good explaining man good job
Awesome bro.u deserve a thumbs up and a sub.bless 🙏🙏🙏
I have Panasonic GH4 with Sigma 18-35mm lens. and it won't balance. Please help!
Brad White were you able to figure it out?
Thank you so much, i was getting stressed out already haha!
How so i remove the error, When I turn the gimbal horizontally it makes a stop and then moves again from the position when the gimbal is not in use
My tuning stand will not lock in place for full extension. Can anyone help?
HELP!! I’m trying to do auto tune but it says I need to turn the motor switch off when it already is off
Fantastic video, thanks.
Really great tutorial, thanks for sharing.

Will it be affected it the screw on the camera is more towards one side or can you still balance it?
LOL TRASH KID
Oh god... thats why you balance the camera. are you all idiots? Why are you getting gear like this if you dont know the basics?
