1. Camera Type
It is highly recommended to choose the Camera Type (DSLR Camera, Mirrorless or RED
Camera) to obtain the best Stiffness, Strength, Outlter and Control value.
2. Live Data
This data represents the feedback from each motor axis. If a particular motor axis
indicates a power reading greater than 10, this often means the mechanical balance of
the camera hasn’t been properly adjusted. A properly balanced camera rig will display
readings close to 0 power on each axis, but these values may vary. The angle reading
indicates the current angle of each axis in relation to the center.
3. Briefcase Mode
When Briefcase Mode is switched on, the Ronin-MX seamlessly transforms into a slim
prole that can be held close to your body. With Briefcase Mode turned off, the Ronin-
MX will allow the camera to roll when the Ronin-MX is tilted beyond the standard roll axis
parameters.
4. SmoothTrack Mode
When SmoothTrack Mode is enabled, the Ronin-MX can be “steered”, on the selected
axis, by the camera’s operator. The steering/translation speed can be adjusted for each
axis independently. When the Ronin-MX’s top bar is rotated left or right, the camera
will move, smoothly following the user’s input, and stop at the appropriate angle. In the
SmoothTrack options menu, the settings for the pan axis, roll axis and the tilt axis can be
independently adjusted.
The Speed will determine how fast the camera will travel while translating a pan/roll/
tilt movement. The Deadband setting determines how much movement the gimbal will
tolerate prior to translating the camera’s pan/roll/tilt. The Acceleration setting determines
how closely the camera will follow the translated pan/tilt/roll movement.
TIPS
When mounting a heavy camera (such as a RED camera) on the Ronin-MX,
the Acceleration setting should be adjusted properly. If there is too much
acceleration, the camera might shake. If there is too little acceleration, the
SmoothTrack speed of the gimbal might not reach maximum speed.
The SmoothTrack pan, roll, and tilt speed can be tested by tapping the Test button. To
avoid damaging the camera, make sure nothing is obstructing the camera before testing.
5. Control Speed Adjustment
The Remote Controller speed can be adjusted here. This setting represents the maximum
speed in the pan and tilt axis when the Remote Controller sticks are pushed all the way in
any given direction.
