The wireless thumb controller is perfectly compatible and ready to be used with both the DJI Ronin and Ronin-M. However an additional external receiver is required for use with the Ronin, while the Ronin-M’s built-in receiver allows use without any additional parts.
Simply link the Thumb Controller to your gimbal, and you are ready to go. The Thumb Controller clamps easily to the handle bars or can be placed anywhere you like, no tools required. View your current status and click through menu options by using the bright, clear OLED screen. This compact yet powerful display makes accessing the basic functions of your Ronin or Ronin-M easy. The Thumb Controller’s built-in rechargeable battery gives you up to 18 hours of power per charge, enabling you to use it all day without worry. If you prefer to control your Ronin or Ronin-M from a distance, the nearly 200 foot (60 meter) transmission range makes capturing unique shots easy. Use the Thumb Controller in tandem with the Ronin or Ronin-M’s included remote controller. You can set the priority control source by easily designating the primary device. You can now perform an Auto Tune Stability or even calibrate the gimbal without being tethered to your mobile device. Simply enter the main menu in the thumb controller and select Cali System or Auto Tune under the Gimbal menu item. A Micro-USB port on the Thumb Controller allows you to download and apply future software updates and recharge the integrated battery.
