New Ways to Capture Smooth Videos with DJI’s First One-Handed Gimbal
November 21, 2018 – DJI, the world’s leading camera manufacturer, has unveiled nine accessories for the Ronin-S, a one-handed stabilizer for mirrorless camera systems.
Now Ronin-S users can capture their creative ideas in a whole new way, with an external focus motor to manually control lens focus, and a remote control for quick access to settings.
The DJI Ronin-S focus motor allows manual control of lenses that do not have this feature. Operators can place the focus motor on the stick, zoom, or focus ring to quickly change the value of the settings as needed. An error of only 0.02 degrees allows you to achieve perfectly precise camera control. The two main elements of a focus motor are a rod mount that mounts on the motor and a toothed ring belt used for lenses. The Ronin-S focus motor gives professional photographers even more creative freedom, allowing them to use a wide range of lenses.
A compact, bright screen located on the side of the remote control provides quick access to the Ronin-S, useful for operators planning to shoot fast-moving subjects. With the help of the remote control, you can adjust important settings such as remote control, operating modes, etc. without using a mobile device.
The Ronin-S BG37 handle was designed specifically for professional cameramen who work with the camera for a long time. It powers the Ronin-S with a built-in 2400mAh battery for up to 12 hours of shooting.
The hot shoe mount allows you to securely mount the camera on the Ronin-S when shooting from a vehicle while racing or shooting fast moving subjects. The cold shoe mount allows you to mount external accessories while you work, as well as an additional mount for the Ronin-S Focus Rod mount.
The Ronin-S Lens Stand is designed for use with standard and large size cameras. It securely mounts the camera on the Ronin-S and provides better shooting conditions when it is necessary to position the camera closer to the subject.
The Ronin-S universal mount allows you to mount the gimbal on a car, crane, gimbal camera or other objects. The Ronin-S can be connected to the TB50 Dual Battery Mount via two DC-IN ports. High efficiency battery system sold separately or any 12-17V power supply.
The external GPS module makes the camera even more stable during acceleration and deceleration when shooting Ronin-S, allowing you to get smoother videos and keep the horizon line level. The GPS signal provides a higher sensitivity of the stabilizer and improves its response to sudden movements.
