There are at least three threads discussing issues getting the Nikon Z cameras; Atomos Ninja V; and the Ronin-S to work together.  I have put together a video to show how I got all three of these products to work effectivlely.  I am using the Nikon Z7 (firmware version 2.01) on the Ronin-S (firmware version 1.7.0.70)  and recording 10-bit N-log out to the Atomos Ninja V.  The three problems I saw reported on this forum were the inability to:  (a) pull manual focus from the Ronin-S; (b) utilize the Ronin-S record button; and (c) record to an external recorder (i.e. Ninja V) in 10-bit N-log - all at the same time.


Here is the video showing all these features working:

Cool video!

Cool video!

The new Ronin-S firmware v 1.9.0.80 was release this morning.  I applied the update and everything is working as in the video, which was v 1.7.0.70.

Good to hear!

Thanks for sharing

Cool video

Hello and good day NikMar. Thank you for sharing this informative video you have created. Great work and thank you for your support.

I just got the Ronin S to use with my Nikon Z7 and Atomos Nija V setup.  I've balanced the Ronin S and gotall 3 "excellent" on the App, then I hooked up the Atomos Ninja V with the Ronin S turned off.  When I turned the Atomos on and the Camera on, those 2 worked fine. Then I turned on the Ronin S and tried to start recording.  The Ninja V went back to a start screen and disengaged connection to the Z7.  The Ronin S and the  Z7 worked together at that point, but minus the Ninja V.  How do I get all 3 to work together?  I'm hoping I've just missed a setting somewhere.   I waited until I got the monitor mount to even try all 3 together. The Ronin S worked fine (movements, focus control, etc) before I attached the Ninja V, so I'm not sure what I need to do.

Hi NikMar,  I have the same setup and am having problems getting the Ninja V to record when using the Ronin S.  I’ve just added the Ronin S, I’ve previously used the Z7 and Ninja V together with no problems.  Here’s a link to what’s happening.  https://youtu.be/nEnRVt-07EY  Any advice you can give would be appreciated..

Update-  I just updated the firmware on all 3 devices and it seems to work now.  I get to test it out in the morning.

Sorry for the delay - I've been away from the computer for a few days and just now catching up.  Glad to see everything is working.  Keeping up with firmware on multiple devices is a challenge, but good to hear you are up and running....
