Note: Assembly of the DJI M600 / M600 Pro and Ronin-MX
should be implemented according to their assembly manuals.
• Step 1: Installing the DJI UAV
• Step 2: Configuring the UAV for Communication with the
Phase One Camera System
• Step 3: Installing the iXU – DJI Communication Cable
• Step 4: Assembling the Ronin-MX Vibration Absorber
• Step 5: Assembling the Phase One Camera System in the
Ronin-MX
• Step 6: Connecting the Cables
• Step 7: Assembly Completion with Zip Tie
• Step 8: Configuring Phase One Camera to work with DJI UAV
• Step 9: Activation process
• Step 10: Calibrating the Ronin-MX
Step 1: Installing the DJI UAV
Unbox the M600/M600 PRO UAV and assemble it according
to the DJI Installation Manual.

1. Download DJI Assistant 2 from the DJI website and install
it on a PC.
2. Connect a USB cable between the PC and the UAV micro
USB port.
3. Turn ON the drone.
4. Start the Assistant 2 application.
The following screen is displayed when the UAV is connected.
5. Click the M600 icon. The following screen appears.
6. In the tree menu click 'SDK'. The following screen appears.
7. Configure the following fields:
• Select the 'Enable API Control' check box
• Select the 'Ground Station Status' check box
• Set the 'Baud Rate' to 115200
8. Exit the application.
9. Re-start the UAV in order for the changes to take eect.
Note: This procedure should be repeated if DJI UAV
Firmware was upgraded.

Step 3: Connecting the
iXU – DJI Communication Cable
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 iXU - 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 Camera System
into the Ronin-MX Gimbal
Mounting the Camera
1. Insert the four (4) x M4 screws with four (4) spring
washers and four (4) flat washers into the Phase One
Camera mount.
2. Assemble the camera mount on the camera and fasten
the screws.

3. Attach the Camera Mounting Plate (part of the DJI Gimbal
kit) with a 3.8” camera screw (part of the DJI Gimbal kit)
to the Phase One Camera mount.
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
Camera System 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 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.

Communication cable to port B of the Phase One Camera
System (see iXU-RS Installation Guide).
2. Connect the Lemo Right Angle connector of the iXU – DJI
Power cable to the power port of the Phase One Camera
System.
3. Connect the HDMI male connector of the HDMI extender
cable to the Camera
4. Connect the HDMI extender female connector to the UAV
male HDMI connector.
5. Connect the 2-pin DJI connector of the iXU – DJI Power
cable to the power socket on the Ronin-MX DJI Intelligent
Battery Power port.

Step 7: Assembly
Completion with Zip Tie
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 Camera to work with
DJI UAV
In order for Phase One Camera to work properly with DJI
UAV perform the following procedures:
1. Turn the camera on
2. Verify that the latest Firmware version is installed on
the camera. If not, install it using Phase One Firmware
Updater (see https://industrial.phaseone.com for
Firmware versions).
3. Insert a CF card to the CF 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
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 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 Camera System with Schneider
80 mm lens
• This is a suggested setup configuration for the Initial setup of
Phase One Camera with Schneider 80 mm lens:
Lower side slider at 2.4
Upper side slider at 2.5
Step 9: Activation process
Using a DJI drone and Phase One Camera combination for
the fisrt timerequires 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 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 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 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
