Introduction The Thumb Controller is designed specifically for DJI Ronin series handheld gimbals. It provides a simple, intuitive interface for controlling the gimbal’s pan, tilt, and roll motion. The pressuresensitive stick and the easy-to-read OLED display give Ronin users more control than ever before. The Thumb Controller communicates with the Ronin-M via a preinstalled internal receiver. An external receiver is needed when the Thumb Controller is used with the Ronin.
