DJI Ronin 2 is a professional 3-axis handheld gimbal that is highly compatible with cable cams, drones, cranes, Steadicams, and more. Its customisable mounting modes such as handheld, Car Mount, Aerial, and Tripod mode help the Ronin 2 work accurately in different shooting scenerios. Also, it new Pan Lock mode has been specifically designed for work with Steadicam.

The DJI Ronin 2 is the sucessor to the DJI Ronin. It is the prefect camera stabilization to meet all your needs whether they be handheld or mounted on a vehicle, cable system, Steadicam or drone. The DJI Ronin 2 supports upto 30lbs in payload capacity making it easy for you to use a variety of cameras and lens. So if one day you need to use your DSLR and the next your Sony FS7 you’re set to go with this versatile gimbal.

Like Ronin, Ronin 2 was designed for handheld camera applications. Now, Ronin 2 is more versatile with aerial, car-mounting, cablecam, and Steadicam capabilities. It is also compatible with a large number of professional cinema cameras and accessories like sunshades and filters.

Higher-torque motors allow Ronin 2 to support an increased payload of approximately 30 lbs (13.6 kg), while new stabilization algorithms combine data from multiple sensors to perform smoothly in high-stress environments.

For more reliability and convenience, new features include a dual-battery system, built-in screen, adjusting knob, GPS algorithm, camera control system, and power system. These provide Ronin users with unmatched stability, power, and reliability.

What are the main differences between Ronin and Ronin 2?

Like the original Ronin, Ronin 2 was designed for handheld camera applications but is now more versatile with aerial, car mounting, cablecam and Steadicam capabilities. Higher torque motors give Ronin 2 a larger payload and new GPS algorithms allow it to perform smoothly in high-stress environments. Along with many other improvements, Ronin 2 brings a whole new level of stabilization to Ronin users.

What is Ronin 2’s maximum payload?

Ronin 2’s maximum payload is approximately 30lbs (13.6kg). Through DJIs own extensive testing, Ronin 2 can handle an Arri Alexa Mini with a Canon CINE-SERVO 17-120mm lens comfortably.

Overall, is stabilization on Ronin 2 higher-performing and more accurate than Ronin/Ronin-M/Ronin-MX?

Yes. Ronin 2 was created with stronger motors and its SmoothTrack algorithm has been enhanced for smoother performance. A new GPS module enables it to perform much better in high G-force situations.

Are all three previous modes of operation still available on Ronin 2?

Yes. All three previous modes of operation — upright, underslung, and briefcase — are available with Ronin 2. What’s new is that users can now transition between upright and underslung modes without changing the orientation of the camera. Users can now lock the yaw motor for 2-axis mode while using Ronin 2 with a Steadicam. Now you can lock each axis for an easier setup, better balancing, and safer transportation.

How does the new yaw axis quick release differ from previous Ronins?

The new yaw axis quick release mount in Ronin 2 means a faster set up in different scenarios, enabling an easier transition from handheld to car and aerial applications.

Does Ronin 2 come with a dedicated stand?

No. However, Ronin 2’s new hand and ring grip design come with retractable feet so that the whole gimbal system can stand upright on a flat surface. The grip is detachable and can be separated when standing is not required for shooting or transportation.

What kind of batteries does Ronin 2 use?

Ronin 2 uses the same batteries as the Inspire 2.

Are Ronin series batteries compatible with the Ronin 2?

No. The Ronin 2 is only compatible with Ronin 2 or Inspire 2 batteries and is NOT compatible with any previous Ronin series batteries.

How long is the battery life of Ronin 2?

When powering the Ronin 2 and a RED Dragon camera simultaneously, the Ronin 2 dual battery system will last up to 2.5 hours.

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

When using the Inspire 2 charging hub, it will take approximately 90 minutes to fully charge both batteries.

What is a hot-swappable battery?

A hot-swappable battery eliminates power-related downtime to ensure maximum available power. For example, when shooting a scene with batteries at low power, hot swappable batteries allow you to change one of the batteries without turning off the camera system, gimbal, or accessories. Hot-swappable batteries thus allow you to shoot continuously and uninterrupted.

Can I use the Ronin 2 battery with third party products like monitors?

Yes. The battery system is designed with a P-TAP port that allows you to power your accessories with industry standard power cables.

What cameras are compatible with Ronin 2?

Ronin 2 is compatible with a large number of cameras. The biggest that DJI tested so far is the Arri Alexa Mini with a Canon CINE-SERVO 17-120mm lens.

Do I have full control on the cameras mounted on Ronin 2?

For selected cameras, user can control its settings such as ISO, frame rate, resolution or start/stop through our new camera control module.

What is the largest lens I can mount on Ronin 2?

The largest lens tested on Ronin 2 with an Alexa Mini weighed about 6.6lbs (3kg). But the largest size of lens varies based off different cameras.

Does Ronin 2 come with a remote controller?

Yes. The new remote controller is smaller than before with a more functional joystick. It also has dual control frequency bands 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.

What are the main differences between this and previous remote controllers?
