DJI Ronin-MX 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Cinematic film making demands rapid setup & a host of camera configurations. The Ronin-MX has been designed to carry many of the cameras used every day on sets worldwide, & Smooth Track™ algorithms ensure movements are smooth in every configuration. A repositioned battery improves balance while stability is enhanced by a camera cage that locks mounted cameras in place at the top & at the bottom. Silent motors prevent on set mics picking up motor noise. Designed to resist high G-forces using powerful motors & IMUs, the Ronin-MX is engineered to maintain stability & hold horizon when mounted to an aircraft or a vehicle. When mounted to the M600 aerial system, it communicates directly with DJI’s flight controller & when attached to vehicles, it connects to an optional GPS module allowing it to stabilize actively for a smoother shot. A slip ring allows the Ronin-MX to rotate 360° continuously when mounted to aircraft or vehicles, opening up more creative options. This is further enhanced by an increase in tilt axis range from 90° straight down & beyond to 135°. Popular features of the Ronin series such as the three modes of operation & Smooth Track are also present, giving film makers a range of creative angles & movements. The Ronin-MX is compatible with Lightbridge 2, providing long-range HD video transmission from the air to the ground from up to 3.1miles (5km) away. If combined with the optional DJI Focus & Focus Expansion Module, focus or aperture can also be pulled remotely with a twist of the wrist. An optional Remote Start/ Stop add-on provides the ability to control shooting on a range of airborne cameras. Using DJI Assistant & the dedicated Assistant app for i OS & Android allows complete customization of the Ronin-MX & its behavior. If connected to Lightbridge 2, the DJI GO app can be used to control how the M600 flies including Intelligent Flight Modes, remote control modes, move the gimbal & see an HD live feed from the camera. A redesigned structure moves the Ronin-MX battery from the back to the front. This centers the weight of the camera, minimizing instability when flying directly forwards. It also dramatically increases the Ronin’s agility & ability to handle rapid movements or high-G situations. Built extensively of lightweight magnesium, the Ronin-MX weighs just 6.11lb (2.77kg). This lightness allows it to be mounted to the M600 even when equipped with cameras as advanced as the RED EPIC, & to vehicles with a minimum impact on vehicle handling. A combination of stronger motors & ESCs makes the Ronin-MX 50% more powerful than the Ronin-M. This additional stiffness & power allows the system to better withstand wind resistance when mounted to moving vehicles & aircraft, as well as more rapid movements. Cameras such as the RED EPIC need an external battery for power. A dedicated position designed for an optional battery plate provides an easy, cable free mounting point for a 2nd DJI Intelligent Battery. This provides two 12V P-tap power sources for powering cameras & accessories. Intelligent Ronin-MX batteries are compact, light & offer a long battery life of 3 hours. Multiple batteries can be easily brought to set for a full day of filming. Over-charge & over-depletion protection is built in, as is individual cell charge balancing. Remaining power is shown by clear LEDs & in the DJI GO app.
