1. With the UAV standing the right way up, start the installation by removing the top cover
from the UAV.
2. Turn the UAV on its side, and remove the bottom cover.
3. Insert the iX Camera - DJI Communication cable through the M600/M600 PRO body so
that the DJI 4-pin connector is routed through the available thread holes of the body of
the UAV (from the bottom up).
4. Once the cable is in place, connect the DJI 4-pin connector to the SDK Port in the A3
Flight Controller, and place the top cover back in its place.
5. Underneath the UAV, secure the small Communication box with an M3 screw, a spring
washer and a flat washer next to the UAV USB port.
6. Place the UAV bottom cover back in its place.
7. Connect the power cable of the retractable module to the XT30 power cable at the
bottom of the DJI UAV

Step 4: Assembling the Ronin-MX Vibration Absorber
Position the UAV on its back and connect the Ronin-MX Vibration Absorber to the UAV
according to the Ronin-MX user manual.
Step 5: Assembling the Phase One iX Camera into the
Ronin-MX Gimbal
Mounting the Camera
1. Insert the four M4 screws with four spring washers and four flat washers into the Phase
One Camera mount.

Upper Mounting Plate
4. Attach the Camera Upper Mounting Plate (part of the DJI Gimbal kit) to the DJI mount top
section using the 2 small screws under the flash hot shoe cover.
5. Facing outward on the tuning stand, slide the Phase One iX Camera into the receiver
of the Ronin MX, until the safety-locks engage. Adjust the vertical position of the crossbar
to meet the Camera Upper Mounting Plate. When the Phase One Camera System in place,
tighten the camera base side clamp and lock-knobs.

Note: The camera should be placed upside-down so the pitch-axis can rotate to -135 degrees.
The Ronin-MX Gimbal (including Phase One iX Camera) should be connected to the DJI UAV
according to the UAV and Ronin-MX assembly instructions. Make sure the Ronin-MX safety lock
is secured.

Step 7: Assembly Completion with ZipTie
Secure the appropriate cables with a zip tie to ensure free movement with Ronin-MX rotation
angles.
Note: Make sure all cables are secured.
Step 8: Configuring Phase One iX Camera to work with DJI UAV
In order for Phase One iX Camera to work properly with DJI UAV perform the following
procedures:
iXU Camera
1. Turn the camera on
2. Verify that the latest firmware version is installed on the camera. If not, install it with
Phase One Firmware Updater (see firmware versions).
3. Insert a CF card into the card slot (any size, brand or model is applicable) and make sure
it is identified by the camera
4. Press ‘Menu’ tab
5. Press ‘Serial Link’ tab
6. Press ‘DJI Link (Data Terminal B)’
7. Re-start the camera
iXM Camera
1. Connect the iXM to iX Capture software
2. Verify that the latest firmware version is installed on the camera. If not, install it with
Phase One Firmware Updater (see firmware versions).
3. Insert a XQD card into the card slot (any size, brand or model is applicable), format the
card under service tab and make sure it is identified by the camera
4. Press ‘Link’ tab
5. Set right terminal to “DJI Link”
6. Re-start the camera
7. Connect the camera to the M600
After re-start, the camera is able to communicate with DJI UAV.
Note: if the camera is used for any other purpose, repeat the above procedure except step 4
where the ‘O’ should be chosen.

Step 9: Activation process
Using a DJI drone and Phase One iX Camera combination for the fisrt time requires an initial
activatation. The activation is done via an internet connection and a Remote Control unit
connected to a mobile device running DJI GO.
To link Phase One iX Camera with DJI UAV perform the following procedures:
1. Using a USB cable, connect the Remote Control unit to a mobile device with an Internet
access (iOS or Android)
2. Configure the Remote Control unit to Intelligent Flight mode by toggling the Flight Mode
Switch to F-mode.
3. Activate the DJI Go App on the mobile device
4. Power On the DJI UAV
5. Turn on the Phase One iX Camera
6. Wait for 15 seconds and exit DJI Go App.
7. Run the iX Capture Mobile (while mobile device has an Internet connection) and verify
connection
If linking has failed, Phase One iX Camera will issue an error message
Note: This procedure must be done once for any new DJI UAV or after each time the DJI UAV is
Firmware upgraded
Step 10: Calibrating the Ronin-MX
•Use the Ronin-MX manual instructions to calibrate and balance the Gimbal.
Use ‘DJI Go’ application (it can be downloaded from Apple store) in order to test the
balancing and stabilizing of the system.
Setup Example of Phase One iX Camera:
This is a suggested setup configuration for the Initial setup of Phase One iX Camera:
Lower side slider at 2.4
Top slider at 0.5 Bottom slider at 3
Upper side slider at 2.5
