DJI Ronin MX

DJI Ronin MX

The DJI Ronin-MX is designed for rapid setup and a host of different camera configurations. The Ronin-MX has been engineered to provide unique stability for a multitude of camera’s used every day on sets worldwide. SmoothTrack algorithms ensure movements are fluid in every possible configuration. A repositioned and well placed Lipo battery allows for better overall balance of the rig whilst stability is enhanced through the camera cage which locks the camera into position both top and bottom. The decreased noise from the motors prevents noise being picked up from set mic’s. The gimbal is constructed from lightweight Magnesium which brings the gimbal in at 6.11lb (2.77Kg). This reduced weight allows the Ronin-MX to be mounted and flown on the M600, even when carrying camera’s as advanced as the RED EPIC and to vehicles with a minimum impact on handling.

With increased power from the motors and improved IMU’s on the Ronin-MX, the gimbal can now resist higher G-forces which helps to maintain stability and a flat horizon when mounted on an aircraft or vehicle. When mounted to the M600 aircraft, the gimbal communicates directly with DJI’s flight controller, and when connected to other vehicles the use of an optional GPS module is used allowing to stabilize actively for a smoother shot.

The Ronix-MX can rotate a full 360 degree’s when mounted to aircraft or vehicles, allowing for more creative shots. This is further enhanced by the increased tilt axis ranging from 90 degree straight down and beyond to 135 degree. Three different modes are selectable when using the Ronin-MX and SmoothTrack is also present, giving filmakers a range of creative angles and movement.

There is also compatability with the DJI Lightbridge 2, which allows for a long range HD quality video link from air to ground for upto 3.1 miles (5Km). If used with the DJI Focus and Focus Expansion Module focus or aperture can be adjusted remotely with the twist of a wrist. Another optional remote Start/Stop add-on gives the ability to control shooting on a range of camera’s.

Using the DJI Assistant software and the dedicated Assistant app for iOs and Android enables complete customization of the Ronin-MX’s functions. If the Lightbridge 2 is used, control of how the M600 flies including Intelligent Flight Modes, remote control modes, movement of the gimbal, and a live HD video feed can be acheived.
