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.
