Can't find anything online and nothing from DJI tells you how to update the actual unit

Just download the new Assistant in thew Ronins download section. (V 1.8)

http://www.dji.com/product/ronin/download

Turn on the Ronin THEN connect the usb cable, go to the update section and update both the IMU and the GCU firmware after each other (does not matter in what order) and then make sure you follow these instructions after the update:

Be sure to click Default after the firmware upgrade, otherwise the Ronin may not function properly.
● Be sure to restart and then calibrate your Ronin after the firmware upgrade to prevent it from drifting. Click Calibrate System to begin the calibration, and restart
the Ronin again after the calibration is complete. (During the calibration, it is normal for the motors to power off, and you must not touch the Ronin.)
● It is normal for your Ronin to shake momentarily when the Auto Tune Stability function is configuring the stiffness settings.
● The motors will exhibit more stiffness for the same stiffness values after the firmware update. Adjust the stiffness values if necessary. It is recommended that you
increase the tilt axis stiffness value if the Auto Tune Stability function configures a value below 30.
● The zero value of the SmoothTrack deadband has be adjusted so that it now represents absolute zero, improving the control accuracy of the Ronin when handheld
stationary. With the new scale, it is highly recommended to set the SmoothTrack deadband of each axis to 5 or above during any kind of movement to achieve the
optimal performance.
● It is highly recommended that you adjust the stiffness settings by hand if you are in Silent Mode.

Hi. I'm trying to upgrade my Ronin Firmware. I've downloaded the zip file to my Mac and have the asssistant app on my phone but there doesn't seem to be any way to access the app on my Mac in order to actually upgrade.... it just shows up as an app on my phone... which has no option within the software to upgrade the firmware.. it just tells me that there is new firmware available when I connect to the Ronin.
