I just received my Ronin-S yesterday.  I have tried several Ronin-s approved Nikon lens and while the record button on the Ronin activates focus and start/stop record, the focus wheel does not change focus.  I have tried Manual, Aperture priority, continues and single autofocus.  Nothing seems to be doing the trick.  I appreciate any feedback from the community.

Hi SeaReid75, sorry for the difficulties on pulling focus, have you updated Ronin-S to the latest version? To pull focus with Ronin-S, please set the lens focus mode to M/A, and make sure the camera focus mode is set to AF.

I want to buy D850 also, is it really not works ? Maybe I need to sell my Ronis S before purchase D850 ? DJI what do say ?

I have problem too with pull focus on D850. Ronin and camera updated to the latest firmware. Led on focus wheel is steady green ( before firmware update it was blinking red) but the camera doesn't react at all on focus wheel. Shutter button and autofocuc works, but wheel is dead. Tried with 2 different supported lenses. Any suggestions?

Hi there, may I verify if you have set the lens focus mode to M/A and make sure the camera focus mode is set to AF?

I am also Having problems getting the focus wheel to work. Are tamron lenses not compatible with the Ronin S ? if not then i have just wasted nearly £700. Surely the Ronin only needs to be compatible with the camera and not the lens as the camera have its own auto focus motor.

fit you ever figure out this issue? I have the same camera and lens and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. DJI says check with Nikon. Nikon says check with DJI

Hi DJI i have a D850 with a Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 on my ronin s connected with the cord and recording works just fine but the focus wheel does not
I have tried all different possibilities with camera and lens being on M and AF,  the green light is on the focus wheel but still no response.

Can you help with this at all?
