Introduction

DJI Ronin 2 is a professional 3-axis handheld gimbal that is highly compatible with cable

cams, drones, cranes, Steadicams, and more. Its customizable mounting modes such

as Handheld, Car Mount, Aerial, and Tripod mode help the Ronin 2 work accurately in

different shooting scenarios. Also, its new Pan Lock mode has been specially designed

for work with Steadicams.

Features Highlights

• Its carbon fiber structure makes the Ronin 2 lightweight, strong, and functional.

Upgraded high-torque motors support payloads of 30 lbs.

• A new mechanical design makes camera mounting and balancing easier while

optimizing accuracy. New axis locks improve usability, and its extendable roll axis

allows the Ronin 2 to support more cameras.

• Angular vibration is within ±0.02°, and the built-in GPS module improves the gimbal

accuracy, making it extremely stabile even while shooting at high speeds.

• Adjusting settings is easier with the built-in touch panel, and it also displays the Ronin 2’s

working status.

• A dual battery system and support for hot swapping allows for continuous operation

when replacing batteries. With fully charged TB50 Intelligent Batteries, the Ronin 2 can

power a camera and the whole system for 2.5 hours.

• Power and video signal are transmitted through the built-in slip ring. The Ronin 2 comes

with several accessory ports and supports the DJI Focus system, lens hoods, wireless

video downlinks, and monitors.

• Transmits signal at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz to improve transmission stability.

• The brand new Ronin 2 app can adjust settings and also activate multiple intelligent

features such as Track and CamAnchor.
