I have news for you all. Follow focus, autofocus and record-start work with the 1DX Mii! I simply constructed a USB 3  to USB C female adapter and used the existing cable. It isn't pretty, but the functionality is there.

So DJI - when are we getting the proper cable?!?

You can use the Micro USB cable now. It just plugs in to the bottom half of the port on the camera.

The supplied USB cable does work as mentioned, no need to build one.  All due to new firmware v1.4 introduced yesterday, just upgraded and follow focus working finally.

There is no supplied USB 3.0 cable for micro B, which the 1DX Mii has. That's why I had to stack adapters and use the USB C cable supplied.
Is it possible to order the cable at DJI? Anybody find a link?

BTW, I tested for the functionality BEFORE updating to 1.4. It was already accessible.

If you take the USB-C and plug it into the bottom half of the USB slot on the 1DX2, it works. Just enable the  Camera Control in the app (select Canon).

I get focus wheel and record functions. Works like a charm!

This may seem like a silly question, but where in the app is camera control enabled. I've looked for this option and can't seem to locate it! As it is, when I connect my 1DX II to the Ronin-S using the DJI supplied micro USB cable, the red light on the gimbal focus wheel flashes, and the camera and gimbal don't seem to be talking to each other at all. Thanks!

I have the same issue. How do we fix this?

Hi, I also got Canon 1dx Mark III and I can not start shooting video from the gimbail control. I have connected USB-C cable to the RSS and actualli button on the stick does not work and even camera does not work if I try to start shooting with button on the camera. It is just a warning BUSY on the screen, so it obviously has some signal from the Ronin S bit I have no idea what to do. Firmware is the latest available.

Please help

Currently 1Dx iii is not supported. I did ask on another thread. Hope they will add support soon.
