How to mount the camera
1. Attach the camera mounting plate to your camera using the provided camera screws A,
B, C or D. Choose the correct screw holes according to your camera’s conguration.
Some cameras have two tripod mounting holes. If two mounting holes are available on
your camera, use them both. Secure the camera as rmly as possible.
2. Install the lens support by gently pushing it up, so that it is applying light pressure to
the lens. Then tighten the thumbscrew.
NOTICE
Camera screws A and B only t the holes of the mounting plate, while camera
screws C and D only t the slot of the mounting plate. Be sure to use the correct
1/4" or 3/8" screws.
The lens support can be installed facing outward or inward to accommodate
different lens types.
Ensure alignment of the camera mounting plate and then tighten the mounting
screw before tightening the lens support.
TIPS
Why do you need to use a lens support?
Certain cameras have a very tight lens securing system, and some cameras
such as the Canon 5D MK II and MK III have very loose lens securing systems.
The Ronin-MX balances the camera as one solid unit. If the mounted camera
has a loose lens securing system, the lens support must be used. This is
because a loose connection between the lens and the camera body may allow
vibrations that travel through to the camera but not directly to the lens, resulting
in the two masses shaking at different frequencies. The resulting oscillations
will be transmitted to the IMU, causing the whole gimbal to shake. If the lens
support ts, it’s best to use it at all times.
