How to set-up the DJI Ronin-S 360 mode

How to setup and balance the DJI Ronin-S

The Ronin-S is so much more than a single-handed gimbal, with built-in features and app support that vastly extend its usability.

One of the most direct options the Ronin-S offers is 360 mode. In itself this isn’t a direct creative mode like those accessed through the app, rather it needs to be configured and saved as a user mode.

 

Essentially 360 mode is a configuration that enables the pan to rotate around through 360º while the roll is locked.

The effect when the Ronin-S is used in flashlight mode, horizontal to the ground, is that the camera literally spins through 360º at the command of the joystick.

The effect on the footage is a spiralling motion that’s instantly disorientating and captivating at the same time.

Before you dive in and start adjusting settings through the app, it’s worth switching the user mode to the second user by tapping the M on the grip or selecting user 2 on the app.

This way you can switch between standard and 360 mode quickly, without having to dip back into the settings.
