DJI Ronin-S Overview

The Ronin-S Essentials Kit includes the Ronin-S gimbal with some key accessories. Doing away with the focus wheel and a few other accessories that come with the standard Ronin-S package, the Essentials Kit provides substantial savings while giving you everything you need to start shooting right away.

The DJI Ronin-S is more than just a miniaturized version of the larger Ronin gimbal stabilizers; it represents a scalable ecosystem for integrating DSLR and mirrorless cameras into professional-grade workflows. The single-handed form factor of the Ronin-S lends itself to lighter camera payloads up to 8 lb. Please see the most current camera and lens compatibility list on the DJI website.

Between the front trigger, the rear mode button, and the joystick, precise gimbal control lets you obtain the shots you require. The front trigger can lock the gimbal when held, re-center the gimbal when tapped twice, and engage the Selfie mode by turning 180° when tapped three times. Press the mode button to engage three customizable operation profiles, each with tunable speed and response for different shooting scenarios. If fast-moving subjects are your forte, the Sport mode delivers extra-quick response times and fast gimbal movements, up to a maximum speed of 45 mph. With this operation flexibility, the Ronin-S will fit into documentary, event, and feature film workflows, and it runs up to 12 hours on a single charge of the battery grip.

The gimbal and all included accessories can be stored inside the included case, which helps protect your equipment during storage and transport.

Automated Creative Features
Panorama
Use the Ronin-S to capture panoramic photos using precise gimbal movements.
Time-Lapse and Motion-Lapse
Using the DJI Ronin app for Android and iOS you can control your camera to take photos at specific intervals which, when combined and sequenced in post, can yield creative time-lapse movies. You can also pre-set a path for the gimbal to follow during time-lapse photography inside the app as well. Gimbal movement adds dynamic motion to your finished product without using post-production tools that can decrease resolution.
Tracking
With the Track function, you can program a repeatable gimbal movement. Having this functionality is great for when you need to block out scenes precisely and require complex camera moves to be executed without active operator input.
General Features
Offset Roll Motor
By offsetting the roll motor the Ronin-S holds the camera above the roll axis, leaving the camera's LCD screen unblocked. This design also minimizes the camera shake that occurs when transitioning from upright to underslung modes and vice versa.
SmoothTrack
Customize the response of the Ronin-S to fit your shooting style. Two response types can be saved and instantly recalled with a single click of the mode button. Go from smooth camera movement to rapid response with the flick of a switch to be ready for any kind of shooting situation.
Modular Design
The Ronin-S was built to be modular. Direct-connected and wireless accessories are supported. For example, separately available DJI control devices, such as the Master Wheels and Master Force, enhance the usability of the Ronin-S in professional scenarios. The S-Bus connection supports third-party controls compatible with that standard protocol.
Versatility
The Ronin-S can mount onto an RC buggy for low-angle shots, or even act as a stabilized remote head when mounted to a jib. The DJI Focus Command Unit can be mounted on the accessory dock, enabling creators to pull focus when operating with the standard handle. You can also attach the Ronin-S to a dual-handheld bar without compromising control of the gimbal, focus, or the camera shutter.
Multitasker
Multiple accessory mounts are allocated on the Ronin-S, providing full support for add-ons such as a microphone, LED light, or a wireless video transmitter. Compatibility with DJI control devices such as Master Force provides intuitive controls. The Master Wheels are also able to provide remote operators with precise gimbal movements.

Will this gimbal support the setup of Sony A7III with sony lens 24-105mm F.4? will this come with sony cable? Will the zoom button work with the lens 24-105mm ? Thank you
Asked by: Do
The Sony A7III and the Sony 24-105mm F4 lens are both on the compatibility list with the Ronin-S. You will be able to balance that combination of camera and lens. However this kit does not include any cables. You will need to purchase B&H # DJRONINP13CB which is the DJI Ronin-S Multi-Camera Control Cable (Sony Multi Port). However the 24-105mm is not a servo zoom lens. https://bhpho.to/2DZF5sE

Will this work with a Canon EOs 90D with battery grip attached? Also, what extra cables would I need for a 90D and 7DMII?
Asked by: Tamara
You need the DJI Ronin-S Multi-Camera Control Cable (Micro-USB Type-B) for the 90D, BH #DJCPRN001101. However there is no option for the 7D Mark II as this time.

Is there a setup/cable available that will support the following on Sony A& III: record stop/start, shutter release, aperature, shutter speed and ISO control?

There is not a cable that allows all of those things to be controlled on an A7III camera. However you can use the DJI Ronin-S Multi-Camera Control Cable (Sony Multi-Port) to control start/stop record and aperture, BH #DJRONINP13CB. https://bhpho.to/2DZF5sE

Can I use a Small HD 5 'Focus monitor and a RODE VIDEOMIC X microphone, with a Sony A7SII camera in this Ronin S? What accessories do I need to buy in order to place the monitor and the microphone in the Ronin S?
Asked by: Jose Maria
Take a look at the SmallRig Universal Wooden Side Handle. It works great with the Ronin-S and specifically allows for easy mounting of monitors/recorders with cold shoe or threaded mounts. It also has other tapped holes for additional mounting options and configurations. The Ronin-S has plenty of payload capacity for a Sony A7SII, with reasonable lens choices.
