DJI Ronin MX — Supports 10lbs! Fly Arri Alexa Mini, Red Raven/Scarlet, BlackMagic Ursa Mini Pro / Pocket 4K/6K, Sony FS5/FS7/FS700R and more!

INCLUDES
  • Extension Tubes for C100/200/300, FS5/FS7/FS700R
  • Screw-in Counterweights [set of 3]
  • 2x DJI Intelligent Ronin batteries
  • DJI Ronin MX Wireless gimbal remote controller [300' range]

OWNER NOTES

DJI Ronin MX

Supports cameras + lens combos up to 10 LBS, more if you fly your battery and HDMI monitor on handle or belt.

Comes with 2 DJI Intelligent Ronin batteries, stand, Ronin universal mounting plates, DJI Ronin MX wireless remote controller for a second operator, SmallRig clamp and 11” Pearstone articulating arm mount for HDMI monitor

The DJI Ronin MX 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer from DJI is a camera stabilization system designed to give the operator close to the freedom of unencumbered handheld shooting but without the hand-shake. Suitable for most camera types and configurations up to 8 pounds, the Ronin MX uses brushless motors that work on three axes: one for side-to-side "roll" - keeping the horizon level - one for tilt, and one for pan. The system is computer-controlled and features a tilt range of 105⁰ up / 165⁰ down plus a roll range of ±110⁰. Furthermore, the system boasts a precision of control of ±0.02°, enabling precise camera moves and stability correction against even very fine movements. In addition to handheld shooting, the gimbal can be used in vehicle mounting scenarios and other contexts where vibrations or other abrupt movements would make tripods and rigid camera support systems unsuitable.

The Ronin MX supports dual-operator shooting, much like working with a jib that has a motorized pan/tilt head. In this mode, a second operator would use the included transmitter (radio controller) to manually control camera pan and tilt independently of which way the Ronin MX itself moves. The included transmitter/receiver system operates on 2.4 GHz and is proprietary. If you prefer to use a third-party transmitter there is a D-Bus port on the Ronin MX to install your own receiver.

I rented Todd's Fancier Jib because of the advantageous rate and specs compared to other options on KitSplit. Todd was accommodating to my pickup/dropoff needs and offered detailed advice on how to get the best results from the equipment.

Todd was super easy to work with and helped us out a lot. First of all, we loved using his DIY equipment piece that was included in his kit. He explained and showed us everything in the box which was super considerate. We asked for an extension for our return time and he agreed right away, which helped us a lot. There was a mix up with our other rental and his piece was missing which we felt terrible about. Thankfully he was calm and professional, and gave us a chance to send the piece back to him. I reccomend him 100%, he is a very kind hearted and knowledgeable person.
