Overview

• Date: 2018.11.19
• Firmware: v1.6.0.50
• Ronin App iOS: v1.1.6
• Ronin App Android: v1.1.6
• DJI Pro Assistant for Ronin (PC): v2.0.0

What's New?

• Added option to set zoom speed for Sony cameras (requires Ronin app v1.1.6 or later).
• Added 3D Roll 360 feature. Enable 3D Roll 360 in the control settings of the Ronin app. The gimbal can switch between upright and flashlight modes by pressing double tapping the trigger. Rotate the gimbal roll axis using the joystick. Note: only motor parameters, system calibration, and pan axis control settings can be set in 3D Roll 360.
• Added Auto Roll 360 feature. When the gimbal is in Flashlight mode, assign roll axis control to channel 3, and push the joystick quickly left or right twice to enable Auto Roll 360. The gimbal rotates continuously without needing to hold the joystick. Double tap the trigger to stop Auto Roll 360. Note: Auto Roll 360 only works when 3D Roll 360 is disabled.
• Added camera parameter settings for Panasonic GH5 and GH5S cameras (requires Ronin app v1.1.6 or later).
• Added photo capture, video recording, autofocus, and focus pull support for Nikon Z7 cameras with supported lenses. To use autofocus on the Nikon Z7, press halfway down on the gimbal’s camera control button.
• Added photo capture, video recording, autofocus, and focus pull support for EOS-1D X Mark II cameras with supported EF lenses. To use autofocus on the EOS-1D X Mark II, press halfway down on the gimbal’s camera control button.
• Added option to disable the selfie mode that is activated when the trigger is pressed three times (requires Ronin app v1.1.6 or later).
• Added auto-focus function (half-press REC button) for Panasonic GH3 and GH4 (requires RSS-P cable).
• Fixed the occasional issue when using shutter control for Canon 5D Mark IV cameras where the camera froze.
• Fixed the occasional issue when using shutter control with an HDMI monitor for Panasonic GH5 and GH5S cameras where the gimbal stopped working.
• Fixed other minor bugs.
  

Notes:

• Ensure that the Ronin App is the latest version when updating the firmware.
• Leave the Ronin-S turned off and update the firmware through the DJI Pro Assistant for Ronin by connecting the USB-C port on the Ronin-S to your computer. Then proceed with the firmware update. Do not disconnect the gimbal from the computer while updating.
• After the update is complete, unplug the USB-C cable from the Ronin-S and proceed to turn on the gimbal.
•   If the Ronin-S has a camera attached and is turned on while updating the firmware, make sure to protect the camera and lens as the motors will shut off during the update.
• If the firmware update fails, restart the Ronin-S and retry.
  

Where do we get more info about 3D Roll 360 and Auto Roll 360?

At long, long last.

Usual case of 'suck it and see' seems to apply again.

Probably as the user manual version is the same (so I didnt download it to check)

Auto Roll I get it. But 3D 360? Why the 3D? I think its because we can walk as it rolls but the same could be done with Auto Roll and it doesnt have the 3D name on it. Maybe Both cases becoming a standard feature as opposed to us setting it up to achive it, as it should be from the begining so just a convenience and not a real new feature?
Dont know. Would like to know more.App is not available yet so I cant test it. Even tough, I'd have to figure it out how it should work?

NO NIKON D800 Support.........WTF????? Looks like im going for a refund

Z7!!! Yesss!
Tomorrow some test after update!

No Nikon D-810, bunch of knuckle heads

Dnorton, sorry that Nikon D800 can still only be physically and stabilized on the Ronin-S, we are developing USB shutter control, please note the future update.

Yes, cheers, please let us know if you have any issue during the test.

Still not available to download for droids.

I did some tests yesterday and it seems that everything works perfectly. And with the new Nikkor S lenses the focus is extremely quiet and fluid.
Today I also try the APP improvements.

This update is good for me!

for some funny reason, I've only seen FW 1.06.00.48 and not .50 as indicated above.. any ideas? Ronin App still can't read gimbal FW to confirm..

Hi there, I see Natalia has replied in this thread https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=172748 that it is recommended to try to scan the QR, may I know if it works for you?

Great, please let us know if there is any further issue.

Hi Famagusta, I understand your expectation of the Fuji camera, but it is a cooperation business of two manufacturers, we do not have any news if they could be compatible, your request has been forwarded to our engineers, please note our website about the future update, thank you.

When can we expect manual focus support for Sony? Is that in the planning for the near future?

I would like to know this as well. Or at least a sit rep on the development.

I would be satisfied if I knew it will be here someday at least.

Yes, the cable provided with the Ronin-S.

When will the Nikon Z6 be added to the compatibility list?

Update has caused more issues than before I updated..

Still produces error 70, record button no longer works nor does the focus wheel.

Canon 5d mk4
Canon 24-70 2.8

please add the blackmagic pocket 4k !!!!

Thank you for your hard work DJI Devs! The FW update was smooth and painless - and the new features works good for me!

Just for the sake of beating on a dead horse haha - I hope this freed up some resources for you to develop support OR a work-around for that pesky Sony focus pull feature

FFS please release an update for the Canon EOS R and M50!

FFS please release an update for the Canon EOS R and M50!

Any update about IR Shutter Control for Nikon D5500?

No longer works with my Canon 5D4!!  Please fix ASAP!  It does now work with my EosR though.

Mindy, I almost hate to ask, but I don't see any fix listed for the well documented Ronin-S and GH5 problem.  (i.e. motors dying or the gimbal beating up our GH5 when connected via USB).

Any idea if this has been fixed?

No worries, if you have any concern, you can contact us any time. The external monitor issue has been fixed per the release notes. Please check below.

• Fixed the occasional issue when using shutter control with an HDMI monitor for Panasonic GH5 and GH5S cameras where the gimbal stopped working.

Hi Stebsy, sorry for the troubles, do you mean there is no follow focus with Canon 5D MK IV after the firmware upgrade?
