⚡ At a Glance
- • Image Stabilisation: 3-axis stabilisation with carbon fibre axis arms for smooth motion
- • Best for: Solo filmmakers and cinematographers using mirrorless and cinema camera kits
- • Not ideal for: Casual vloggers with only lightweight cameras who need ultra-compact kits
Supports mainstream mirrorless and cinema cameras with a 4.5kg payload. Includes LiDAR autofocus, Focus Pro Motor and Ronin Image Transmitter in the Combo.
Effortless vertical social content - With 2nd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting
Releasing the horizontal plate and securing it into the vertical position converts the rig without a full rebalance, preserving gimbal tuning and axis alignment. The mechanism is integrated into the mounting workflow for rapid orientation changes.
Flip between landscape and portrait quickly for social posts and vertical projects, cutting setup time and keeping shots consistent.
Handles heavy camera setups - With 4.5kg payload and increased motor torque
Carbon fibre axis arms plus a 20% increase in motor torque raise usable payload to 4.5kg (10lbs), allowing stabilisation of mainstream mirrorless and cinema camera plus lens combinations. Motors maintain control under heavier loads for smoother motion.
Mount anamorphic lenses, larger cinema lenses or heavier camera bodies without frequent rebalance or overload warnings, expanding creative lens choices.
Accurate solo autofocus and lens control - Thanks to LiDAR Focusing and Focus Pro Motor
LiDAR Focusing captures 76,800 ranging points within 20 metres and interfaces with the Focus Pro Motor for remote dual focus and zoom control. Joystick mode switch allows toggling between gimbal movement control and lens control.
Solo operators can achieve reliable autofocus at range and adjust focus or zoom remotely, reducing the need for dedicated focus pullers.
