For more information, please refer to the User Manual.
Mounting the Camera on the Ronin-M
Insert the camera until the safety lock engages. Make sure the camera first achieves a rough balance
by sliding the camera platform forward and back. The camera should not tilt forward (lens heavy) or
tilt backward. When you have arrived at a rough balance, tighten the side clamp.
A. With the Ronin-M on the tuning stand and a properly balanced camera, tap the Auto Tune Stability
button.
B. Switch on/off the Briefcase Mode as needed.
C. Switch on/off the SmoothTrack
Mode as needed. In the
SmoothTrack options menu,
the settings for the pan axis,
tilt axis and the roll axis can
be independently adjusted.
D. Adjust the control speed.
E. If the Ronin-M starts to vibrate,
go into the “Motor” page and
reduce stiffness settings.
●
The camera needs to be fully setup with all accessories prior to installing and balancing on the gimbal.

Make sure the battery is powered off during the installation process.
