Ronin 2 FAQ

1. What are the main differences between Ronin and Ronin 2?

Like the Ronin, the Ronin 2 was designed for handheld camera applications but is now more versatile with aerial,

car mounting, cable and Steadicam capabilities. Higher torque motors give the Ronin 2 a larger payload and

new GPS algorithms allow it to perform smoothly in high-stress environments. Along with many other

improvements, the Ronin 2 brings a whole new level of stabilization to Ronin users.

2. What is the Ronin 2’s maximum payload?

The Ronin 2’s maximum payload is approximately 30lbs (13.6kg). Through our own extensive testing, the

Ronin 2 can handle an Arri Alexa Mini with a Canon CINE-SERVO 17-120mm lens comfortably.

3. How much does the Ronin 2 weigh?

The Ronin 2 weighs roughly 9lbs (4.2kg).

4. Overall, is stabilization on the Ronin 2 higher-performing and more accurate than the Ronin/Ronin-M/Ronin-

MX?

Yes. The Ronin 2 was created with stronger axis motors and its SmoothTrack algorithm has been enhanced for

a smoother performance. A new GPS module enables it to perform exceptionally in high G-force situations.

5. Are all three previous modes of operation still available on the Ronin 2?

Yes. All three previous modes of operation — upright, underslung, and briefcase — are available with the Ronin

2. What’s new is that users can now transition between upright and underslung modes without changing the

position of the camera. Users can now lock the yaw motor for 2-axis mode while using the Ronin 2 with a

Steadicam. Now you can lock each axis for an easier setup, better balancing, and safer transportation.

6. How does the new yaw axis quick release differ from previous Ronins? The new yaw axis quick release mount in Ronin 2 means a faster set up in different scenarios, enabling an easier transition from handheld to car and aerial applications. 7. Does the Ronin 2 come with a dedicated stand? No. However, the Ronin 2’s new hand and ring grip design come with retractable feet so that the whole gimbal system can stand upright on a flat surface.

12. What is a hot-swappable battery? A hot-swappable battery eliminates power-related downtime to ensure maximum available power. For example, when shooting a video with batteries at low power, hot swappable batteries allow you to change one of the batteries without turning off the camera system, gimbal, or accessories. Hot-swappable batteries thus allow you to shoot continuously and uninterrupted. 13. Can I use the Ronin 2 battery with third party products like monitors? Yes.

18. What are the main differences between this and previous remote controllers? Users can now change the speeds of the joystick directly on the remote controller by tweaking the knobs, without changing any settings in the gimbal assistant app. 19. What is the control range of Ronin 2? Unobstructed control range is about 1 km. 20.
