Top Rated Gear: Used DJI Ronin-M 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer - Nanuk 940 Hard Case with Foam undefined

 Free Yourself. Capture The World  Compact, lightweight and remarkably easy to use, the Ronin-M gives you what every filmmaker dreams of - freedom.  Incredibly Compact. Unbelievably Light  Weighing just 5 pounds (2.3kg), about half the weight of the original Ronin, the slimmed down Ronin-M is small enough to fit into your backpack and take anywhere, yet strong enough to support camera setups weighing up to 8 pounds (3.6kg).  Fast Setup, Precise Balancing  Save time and start shooting professionally stabilized video in under 5 minutes. Mount your camera to the Ronin-M, quickly balance it and then tap a button. The upgraded ATS (Auto Tune Stability) technology is more precise than before and completes the tuning and balancing processes with no tools necessary. Easy and efficient.   Simple Disassembly For Unmatched Flexibility  Capture tight shots, even when you have almost no space to work and easily transport your Ronin-M. The top handle bars quickly and easily twist off, allowing you to minimize its size, achieve different shooting configurations and pack or unpack it in seconds.   New Magnesium Frame  Your Ronin-M stands up to rugged use in any filming environment. Featuring a superbly strong and rigid magnesium frame, the Ronin-M brings increased stiffness and reduced weight. Notoriously difficult to manufacture and mold, magnesium brings you a new, more exact shooting experience while maintaining easy maneuverability and increasing options on set.   Solid Support Arm  Increased rigidity is provided by a single, complete piece of fine-tooled magnesium that forms the U-shaped arm holding the camera plate. Only made possible by DJI's large manufacturing reach and expertise, this unified design eliminates imperfections that are common in systems made of multiple pieces assembled together. This arm gives you not only greater stability but also reliability, as there is no potential for separate pieces to come loose or move apart.   SmoothTrack Control  Even with only one operator, SmoothTrack technology ensures the Ronin-M translates your movements into smooth camera angle changes. Your camera intuitively faces the direction you want, all while completely stabilized, no matter how you move. SmoothTrack settings from speed to deadband to acceleration are fully customizable and 'Single Axis Follow Mode' enables you to lock two axes while SmoothTrack guides your camera along only one axis of motion.   Endless Shooting Scenarios. One Flexible Solution  Capture shots that are impossible with any other setup. Switch effortlessly between the 3 modes of operation, without adjusting any settings or needing a 2nd operator remote.   Underslung Mode  Film effortlessly and comfortably in the most common shooting mode, holding the Ronin-M directly in front of you at chest level.   Upright Mode  Shoot at or above eye-level by flipping and lifting the lightweight Ronin-M above your head. This mode is perfect for shooting out of a car's sunroof or above a crowd of people.   Briefcase Mode  Filming in narrow spaces or moving through a doorway is effortless with Briefcase mode. Turn the gimbal vertically and hold it by your side close to your legs, just like a briefcase.   Long Battery Life  Film all day, until you get every shot, with the Ronin-M's smart battery and a runtime of over 6 hours. Overcharge and over depletion protection is built in, as is individual cell charge balancing. Remaining power is shown by clear LEDs and in the Assistant mobile app.   Powerful Motors. Precision Control  Designed with high performance in mind, the Ronin-M's brushless motors are incredibly precise and powerful while maintaining low vibration and increasing torque. Industry-leading accuracy is increased even further with Digital Absolute Positioning Encoders in each axis and a much larger range of controllable motion on both the tilt (105deg. Up, 165deg. Down) and roll (+/- 110deg.) axes.   Silent Mode  When shooting indoors or in tight spaces, a new Silent Mode reduces the sound of each motor to almost inaudible levels. The Ronin-M's stabilization algorithms are instantly changed to focus on strength for minute changes and stabilization, ensuring the sound of the motors is not recorded by sensitive microphones or other recording equipment.   Second Operator For Impossible Shots  Capture anything you can imagine with a second operator controlling the camera's movements as the first operator moves around set. Achieve perfect framing and complete more complex camera movements by working together and making your camera's motions completely independent of the person holding it.   Mounts To Anything  Easily mount your Ronin-M with a quick-release system that is compatible with a wide range of universal connections. Remove the top bar assembly in seconds and put your Ronin-M on a jib, crane, tripod or anything else.   Power Your Tools  A dedicated power distribution box keeps wiring to a minimum while providing power to your key accessories. Two regulated 12V P-taps, one 500mAH full-size USB connector and a DJI Lightbridge connector enable you to connect and provide power to everything you need.   One Bluetooth App - A World Of Options  Change settings on the go with the simple DJI Assistant app that links to your Ronin-M over Bluetooth. Auto Tune, adjust your favorite settings, monitor the status of your Ronin-M and customize SmoothTrack in seconds.   Future-Proofing With Upgradable Firmware  Take advantage of new features and updates by downloading the latest firmware online and updating your Ronin-M instantly.   Compatible Thumb Controller  Gain more control over your camera's motions with a built-in receiver that is fully compatible with the optional DJI Ronin Thumb Controller. Point the camera in any direction and save preset settings for fast, easy operation.

This Ronin M immediately pushed my production to a new level. The versatility is awesome. I’ve found the briefcase mode to be great in small places. Brought in 3 new jobs with the ronin alone. Great investment. The case is and gadgets that came with it is a plus.

Pushed my production to a new level.

Awesome!

I give this 5 stars. Smooth shots add to the cinematic feel my clients look for.

Loving it!!!

I bought this to shoot video, but if offers so little stabilization that even after I put it through Premiere Pro's stabilization software, it was still pretty much unusable. 

Also, it can't handle anywhere near the weight it claims to. It worked ok with my Nikon D810 and 50mm 1.4 lens, but as soon as I put the battery grip on, it wasn't even strong enough to hold the camera upright. It just kept flopping down and facing the ground.

Offers virtually no stabilization

Great shipping, discounted buy and perform as it should, no complaints what so ever.

Number one place to buy

after just one month of use, one of the batteries died while on the job and wouldn't charge or come on again even until now.

works great but watch out for the batteries

Love getting to use this product while shooting weddings and BRoll. Once you read the manual and take your time using the app with it it is a great tool to have.

Great Gear to Have

I highly recommend this product. Thanks adorama.

I love my Dji Ronin.

Definitely a mist have if you are into film makimg music videos. Got mine today

Got mine today. Good product

Absolutely love this gimbal, very simple to use and set up. Great results

Ronin M is awesome

I don't actually have the product but whoever wrote and made that short film has me messed up. The cinematography was honestly beautiful and the story was enough to make me cry. I'd recommend this product. It's not as expensive as the other models but does it's job.

Why am I crying.

This is an amazing gimbal, easy to balance and delivers fantastic stabilization. It came with two original batteries 1580mAh. To wind up all this, I received a very good customer care from Adorama. By the way, shipping was super fast.

The built quality of this gimbal is awesome, performance is amazing.

Have it for a two weeks and had only a chance to try it around a house and backyard. Very nice and quality piece of equipment.
Even though it is pretty light, when combined with a DSL you feel the weight after using it for a few minutes.
I wish it was possible to put it down without using the special stands that comes with it.
Balancing and adjustment is relatively easy (after watching few YouTube videos). I have still not mastered it and see small shakes in the footage, but I am sure that is an user error.
Hopefully, after using it for a while the quality of the video will improve even more.

Very good

The gimbal is great and it's very reliable.

The best in market

Very happy with the shipment of the product. Works just fine. Was a little worried about the 2nd battery not functioning until I did a little research and found out it's a common issue but was fixable. 

Nice product

This piece of equipment is not setup easily.  The instructions supplied are difficult to follow. They don't even match the piece of equipment shipped.  The first time I tried to find a manual online it didn't exist.  Secondly, they never tell you all the extra stuff you really need in order to get a usable piece of equipment.  I had to order a bunch of stuff and it is still sitting in my lab in pieces.

Not ready for prime time.

The Ronin is noisy and takes too much time to set up for our run-and-gun production settings.  Instead, we're using a Sony A6500 on a Zhiyun Crane V2 3 Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer 3 32bit MCUs Brushless Motors with Encoders for Mirrorless Camera Sony A7 series/Panasonic LUMIX Series/Nikon J Series/Canon M Serie With Mini Tripod

Loud & Clunky. Use only if you have time to set it up for each shot

If you don't have a gimbal or stabilizer in your gear then you're missing out. The Ronin-M will free you up to shoot almost anything with little to no set up. Tripods are great for movies and commercial spots, but if you're filming the unpredictable like a wedding or something mobile, then you'll need a stabilizer for sure. The Ronin-M is around the ($) price range and you'll need additional gear to set it up with your equipment, but this is the type of gear you need to go from a few bucks on your friends project to real money at a wedding or music video.

Slight Learning Curve, But A Must Have For Any Professional

This thing is amazing and I'm sooooooo happy I got it. Worth the investment!

In Love

It performs exactly as I had hoped. I did have a small internal issue with one of the batteries but DJI sent me a working replacement. 

It delivers as expected.

Best Ever

The DJI Ronin M is the perfect size and function combination for the work that I do.

Definitely get the thumb controller if you work alone, I have honestly no use for the remote control that comes with this system.

I've worked with Steadicam systems for years and this Ronin M lets me get my cameras lower and more stable than I've ever been able to accomplish in the past. 

I use an iPad Mini II for the DJI Assistant App. That is perfect since I also us the same pad for my DJI Phantom Quads. Keeping it simple. Bluetooth connection is perfect.

I spent 30 minutes setting up and balancing while on the "tuning stand" That stage is where you want to spend most of your time initially. Get serious and tweak every tiny movement until all three Axis are balanced in any position, this eliminates motor noise and saves you lots of battery power. 

I use the shipping velcro straps to snug it down to the tuning stand and put it in the suv assembled and ready to go. I considered buying a specialized case, but I don't want clients to be waiting on my to setup. Also to save time, I dedicated one camera body and lens to the Ronin, so it's ready to go. You get one camera mounting plate.

The work I do is a combination of video and still photography, so I need to be able to grab ronin and get going.

PROBLEMS: Initially, the app showed that the batteries were not DJI Smart Batteries and displayed a yellow warning triangle. After removing and re-seating the batteries a couple of times, that warning went away and the app displayed appropriate battery parameters.

I also purchased the monitor quick release clamp and attached a 7" iKan monitor. With the battery, that added quite bit of weight to the rig. I recommend getting the lightest and smallest monitor you can work with, as I only use the monitor to get my framing correct, not so much for focus acquisition.

The monitor and quick release bracket are both available here on Adorama.

I have absolutely no reservations about recommending this Gimbal Stabilizer for those who want to spend less time using Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro and need to get those action sequences with minimal camera movement. 

Glad I waited for the Ronin M... just my size!

Light Weight Well Built MUST have

I'm fortunate to have a direct relationship with DJI marketing and fly their drones and have assisted in some of their web development.  For the past 2.5 years, I have been employing their "standard" Ronin ... I received one of the first 100 off the line.  It revolutionized my business.  I decided to procure the Ronin-M at about half the weight of the Ronin.  It may not seem like much, but it really makes a huge difference on long shoots.  The Ronin M is a dream to use! ... and I'll keep the standard Ronin as a "spare."

Replacing My Standard DJI Ronin

Great gimbal solution. Build is fantastic. Holds a fairly heavy DSLR with no issues. Very pleased with the Ronin M. 

Nice buy.

I've only used it once and have another shoot today, but so far it's been great!

So Far Awesome!

The ronin is an essential tool to anyone serious about making great videos. I've had it for a week and my videos have improved tenfold.

Excellent

I love this thing! Best thing I've ever purchased for videography. I used to waste footage due to shaky images but I no longer have that issue. I only wish the stand was taller or more easily collapsible. Other than that, it's great. I guess it would be nicer if you didn't have to haul a stand around and some sort of stand was built into the design of the stabilizer. Lastly, if you want to hook up a hot shoe mic or external monitor, the ronin adapter is insanely expensive so I rigged two up with the GoPro handlebar mount. Works perfect!

Best videography purchase to date

This is a Solid System. I am even Flying a Black Magic Production 4K with a  Rokinon 35mm Cini lense. Took a little fine tuning to Balance but Flys like a dream.

Works like a Dream

Worked as advertised

The Ronin M may well immediately become the most powerful tool in your filmmaking arsenal. Never before has there been a device under $1,500 that will allow you to take smooth, Hollywood-style footage like the M. Fire your 1st AC and mount a camera with phase detection auto focus like a Canon 70D or a Sony A7Sii and you're a one man Hollywood "crew."

What you can pull off with this thing is incredible. The first 40 seconds of this video, I shot myself on a 70D with the M. 

Buy with confidence and have fun.
