Hello

I have the ronin balanced on Nikon d850 and nikkor 24-70mm. I have latest firmware updated, camera conected to ronin (cable type b), wheel connected (green light) camera in AF mode and lens in M/A but the focus wheel seem not work (nothing changes when i turn it). Do I need to add the focus motor or should it work?

thanks!

Hi Ainhoa, Focus Wheel should be able to work with Nikon D850 and it seems the settings are all correct, could you please double confirm that the focus mode is set to AF-S / AF-C? If the focus mode is set to AF-F, the focus cannot be followed. If there is no problem with it, please try the Focus Wheel on the other side or maybe the focus speed is set too slow which you couldn't notice the focus when turn it?

it works now!

For other users reading: to change the focus mode is set to AF-F , press the AF-mode button in front, next to the lenses  and rotate the main command dial.

where can i change the focus speed to faster? in ronin app?

Yes, the Focus Speed can be adjusted in Ronin APP--Create--Camera Settings.

May I ask your balance settings as I can’t get the pan correct as the eyepiece snags the gimbal?

D850 with 24 70mm lens

Thanks
