Cathy hello,
so here is the feedback to my attempts to make my ronin a working machine. I followed all the steps from 1-3 that you suggested. (1. Make sure GCU is V1.0, IMU is V3.0
2. Be sure to click Default after the firmware upgrade, otherwise the Ronin may not function properly.
3. Be sure to restart and then calibrate your Ronin after the firmware upgrade to prevent it from drifting. Click Calibrate System to begin the calibration, and restart the Ronin again after the calibration is complete. (During the calibration, it is normal for the motors to power off, and you must not touch the Ronin).
And here is what happened
1. First thing that is very strange is that during the calibration process the ronin shuts completely power of and just hangs loose (the tilt axis lens down all the way so it hits the stand) and doesn't come back into its original center position. This his never happened to me with my previous firmware. In my previous firmware it just tilted 90 degrees down and got himself up. This sudden tilt down and lens hitting the ronin stand doesn't make any sense and can cause serious damage to a pricey lens.
2. When I restart the ronin after that. It starts drifting after 2-3 minutes. This is absolutely non acceptable since it is impossible to go on a professional set with a ronin that doesn't work properly.
3. Downgrading to dii assistant 1.4 like you suggested in your number 4 in the previous post, doesn't seem like a solution since I am expecting the thumb controller any day now, and to my knowledge without a firmware 3.0 it is not possible to configure and use the thumb controller.
My GCU is V1.0, IMU is V3.0, which means they are both up to date. Please let me know what can be done to prevent the drifting and what can be done on the subject of non controlled camera calibration. I really wouldn't want to see my lens damaged, Thanks very much |
