DJI Ronin 2 Professional Combo

The DJI Ronin 2 is an impressive heavy duty gimbal. It is quick and easy to set up and balance. It has very powerful high torque motors which enable it to combat a surprising amount of external force if mounted on a vehicle. The high-strength motors also make the whole system a lot less temperamental as it is very rarely at the limits of its capability. It has a weight limit of 13 kg which enables it to comfortably take most cameras you’re ever likely to want to put on it. But as with everything there is a snag, and the snag is its heavy. Because of this we would recommend using a body rig to transfer the weight. (See recommended accessories)

The versatile Ronin 2 gimbal from DJI is suitable for use either handheld or mounted in a variety of ways including onto a drone, Steadicam, vehicle mount, and more. An update from the original Ronin, this motorised stabilisation system is suitable for a range of camera and lens configurations, boasting a payload capacity of 30 pounds. This means it can be used for everything from DSLRs up to cinema cameras such as the ARRI ALEXA Mini or Sony FS7.

Like its predecessor, the Ronin 2 features support for underslung, upright, and briefcase operation modes to help you achieve the best angle. However, it has been redesigned to enable easy transition between upright and underslung modes without changing the position of the camera. It also offers several other improvements, such as enhancements to the control software and physical design to simplify taking complex shots without sacrificing performance, all while making important functions more readily accessible.

Performance

Upgraded high-torque motors allow the gimbal to support a wider range of cameras, resist high winds and G-forces caused when mounted onto a car, and keep it moving smoothly in flight.

Boosted Torque

With up to eight times more powerful motors than previous iterations, Ronin 2 can withstand sustained speeds of over 75 mph with camera builds as heavy as 30 pounds. Thanks to encoded motors and enhanced precision, the Ronin maintains the same 0.02° of accuracy of its predecessors.

Versatility

Detachable Grip

A detachable grip allows the Ronin 2 to stand up on its own, and is easily separated when the lower part of the handgrip is not needed. In addition to handheld work, the Ronin 2 supports mounting on cable cams, drones, Steadicams, vehicle mounts, and more.

Simplified Operation

Easier Setup

Making fine adjustments, which is essential for proper camera balancing, is now simplified with integrated adjustment knobs and a redesigned camera mounting base.

Integrated Screen

A dedicated high-brightness touchscreen for settings and adjustments has been integrated into Ronin 2, streamlining and accelerating gimbal setup. Tactile buttons including motor pause are placed easily within reach.

Assistant App

The extensively refined, redesigned, and expanded Gimbal Assistant app helps create content with minimum effort via new features such as CamAnchor, Time-Lapse, and Panorama, providing a more intuitive and easier-to-use full control system for Ronin 2.

Intelligent

Enhanced intelligence means filmmakers can get shots with Ronin 2 that would once have needed specialist expertise or additional equipment, from total smoothness control to studio-oriented smart features. Intelligent features include Panorama, Time-Lapse, and CamAnchor modes.

Powering

Hot-Swap Batteries

Two batteries on Ronin 2, and the ability to run with only one, allows for batteries to be charged and swapped without interrupting a shoot.

Accessory Support

The Ronin power hub enables essential accessories such as DJI Focus and wireless video transmission systems to be powered by the Ronin 2 battery, as well as communicate with the gimbal controller.

Design

Integrated GPS

The built-in GPS provides Ronin 2 with essential information for gimbal acceleration and speed, which is crucial for maintaining the camera’s position and the horizon level when moving at high speeds while mounted onto a vehicle or drone.

Robust Batteries

Robust and resilient in extreme weather conditions, Ronin 2’s self-heating batteries ensure stable power output for high-performance in temperatures as low as -4°F and high-heat environments. Dual batteries capable of operating simultaneously and independently provide complete redundancy, keeping the shoot going.
