DJI RS 2 User Manual
Track
Track is designed to capture video with up to 10 waypoints. Users need to select the
waypoint manually by moving the gimbal or using the virtual joystick. The duration
parameter below the grid map indicates how much time it will take for the gimbal to
travel from one waypoint to the next. The stay time indicates how long the gimbal will
remain steady at the waypoint before moving to the next waypoint.
DO NOT press the shutter button of the camera while using Track.

DJI RS 2 User Manual
Gaming Controller
PS4 DualShock and Xbox controllers can be used to control the gimbal and camera.
After connecting the controller to the mobile device and gimbal, users can control
gimbal movements, focus and zoom, and can record videos, recenter gimbal, capture
photos, and switch profiles.
The speed and smoothness of the control sticks can be adjusted. Set the focus value
within 10 on the camera settings for optimal performance. iOS 13 or higher, Android 9.0
or higher, and Ronin app v1.4.0 or higher are required.
Tap How to Use to learn more about the gaming controller.
Balance Adjustment
Tap the Begin Test button and DJI RS 2 will check the balance status and provide
a score for each axis. Make sure the gimbal is not obstructed in any way before
performing the balance test and follow the onscreen instructions.

DJI RS 2 User Manual
Motor Parameters
Auto Tune: The stiffness value is determined by the payload of the gimbal. Use Auto
Tune to obtain the stiffness value automatically after balancing.
Tap Auto Tune and DJI RS 2 automatically calculates the result based on the weight of
the gimbal setup. Alternatively, press and hold the M button and trigger simultaneously
for four seconds to start Auto Tune without using the app.
The Auto Tune process takes approximately 15 to 30 seconds. After Auto Tune,
you can see detailed motor diagnostics at the bottom of the screen. If the gimbal
is properly balanced, the power value of the motors should be in the range of ±5. If
power consumption on a particular axis constantly goes beyond that range, check the
mechanical balance of DJI RS 2.
Stiffness: The motor stiffness adjustment allows you to fine-tune the power that is
applied by the motors as they react and balance the weight on each axis. Make sure
you leave an extra margin to ensure stability at all times. If the stiffness value is too
high the gimbal may shake and if the value is too low the gimbal performance will be
affected.
When using Auto Tune, make sure the three axes are unlocked, and that DJI
RS 2 is placed on a steady surface in Upright or Underslung mode.
Make sure the gimbal is balanced and the stiffness values are tuned properly
every time you change the camera or lens.

DJI RS 2 User Manual
User Profile
Three user profiles can be set and save.
Follow Mode: Choose from Pan and Tilt Follow, FPV, Customized, and 3D Roll 360.
Speed: Determines how fast the camera travels while translating a pan, tilt, or roll
movement.
Deadband: The deadband determines how much movement the gimbal tolerates prior
to translating the pan, tilt, and roll movement of the camera.
Push: After enabling Push, the gimbal axis can be manually pushed to the desired position.
Control Settings
Channels
The channel indicator provides feedback when configuring remote operation. Pan, tilt,
and roll channels can be reassigned and each axis can also be inverted. Normal means
the direction of movement is the same as the joystick. Inverted means the direction of
movement is the opposite of the joystick.
When using the joystick, you can only control CH1 and CH3, which is mapped to tilt
and pan axes by default. You can customize channel mapping by tapping on the name
of the axis on the right of the screen.
Motion
You can set the joystick control by adjusting deadband, max speed, smoothing, and
endpoints for each axis. There are three default profiles for each settings.
Deadband: when the deadband value increases, more stick movement will be required
to translate into the actual movement of the gimbal.
Max Speed: allows the remote-controlled rotational speed to be adjusted.
Smoothing: allows you to control the sensitivity of the gimbal. The lower the smoothing
value, the more sensitive the movement of the gimbal.
28
DJI RS 2 User Manual
Endpoint: limits the rotational range of the gimbal by setting the endpoints. The pan axis has
a slip-ring, enabling DJI RS 2 to rotate continuously when the endpoints are set to 180°.
On the tilt axis, you can set up the endpoints according to your requirements. Some longer
lenses may hit the gimbal frame. Set the endpoint angle to prevent such cases.

Operation Modes
There are four operation modes for the DJI RS 2: Upright mode, Underslung mode, and
Flashlight mode.
Upright Mode
Underslung Mode
Flashlight Mode
3D Roll 360 is available when using DJI RS 2 in Flashlight mode. The slip-ring on the
pan axis enables DJI RS 2 to perform a continuous roll rotation. 3D Roll 360 can be
used with the grip at any orientation.
To use 3D Roll 360, press the M button three times to enter or exit 3D Roll 360, or go
to the User Profile page of Ronin app to enable 3D Roll 360. Push the joystick to the
left or right to begin 3D Roll 360. Push the joystick to the left or right twice in quick
succession to trigger auto rotation.
During auto rotation: when the grip is horizontal, press the trigger twice and the camera
will stop in an upright position. Press the trigger three times and the camera will stop
in an upside-down position. When the grip is vertical, press the trigger twice and the
camera will stop at a pan axis angle of 0° with the lens pointing upward. Press the
trigger three times and the camera will stop at a pan axis angle of 180° degree with
lens pointing upward.
