The original one from DJI is ridiculously expensive for what it is, so I decided to get something else: They are made of a very flexible materials and they won’t affect the balance of the camera.Īnother extra accessory that I needed was a monitor mounting bracket. So I started looking online and quickly found out that there are some specialized HDMI cables designed specifically for the gimbal set-ups. It's too stiff, and the cable is affecting the motors too much. This is something that I didn't expect – my regular HDMI cable that I use isn't working well with Ronin-M. The only thing I needed was the cable with P-TAP port on one end and BMPCC power plug on the other. In the next step I screwed the Manfrotto adapter to the Ronin's base plate: Power solutionĪ great thing about the Ronin-M is the ability to power the camera off of the Ronin's battery using the P-TAP socket in the mounting base. It's not ideal and I’m not 100% comfortable with this hack, but I didn't find any other way to make it work with this particular cage. The camera is light enough to stay in place. I took my Manfrotto plate (501PL) and screwed it in. I started looking into some other ways to make it work and I figured out that maybe I can use the Speed Booster tripod foot: I would probably need to use the extension plates for the Ronin to be able to move the base plate lower. There is no way to balance it out with this configuration. There is no way to get quick release adapters nor to replace this plate with the universal one.įor a moment, I thought that maybe I could mount the cage together with the baseplate, but I realized it's not gonna work: The cage has a custom quick release system built into it. I use Tilta cage for all my current set-ups (shoulder, slider, tripod, etc) and I wanted to use it for the Ronin-M too.Īnd here was the first problem. Right off the bat, I ran into some small problems and in this post, I would like to show you how I completed a working set-up. I got it specifically for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. A few weeks ago I finally got my DJI Ronin-M.
