Balancing
To obtain the best performance from Ronin-SC, proper balancing is essential. Proper balance is critical for shots 
with Ronin-SC where fast motion or acceleration is required and also offers longer battery runtimes. There are 
three axes that need to be properly balanced before powering on Ronin-SC and setting up the software.
Before Balancing
1. The camera needs to be fully congured, with all accessories and cables connected, before installing 
and balancing the camera on the gimbal. If the camera has a lens cap, make sure to remove it before 
balancing.
2.  Before balancing, make sure to power on the camera if using an optical zoom lens and to select the focal 
length if using a varifocal lens. Make sure Ronin-SC is powered off or in sleep mode before balancing.
3. If  using accessories such as the  phone  holder  or focus motor, make sure  to  mount  all accessories 
before balancing. Refer to the manual documents of the accessories for more information.
4. Unless  there are additional instructions,  the  balancing process is the  same  with or without a  phone 
holder and mobile phone mounted.
1. Balancing Depth for the Tilt Axis
a.  Toggle the tilt axis lock to the unlocked position, then lower the camera by loosening the tilt axis knob   . 
b. Rotate the tilt axis so that the camera lens is pointing forward. Check to make sure the camera is not front 
or back-heavy. If front-heavy, move the camera backward. If back-heavy, move the camera forward.
c.  Loosen the knob under the camera mounting plate 
 and adjust the camera balance   until the camera 
is steady.
d. Tighten the tilt axis knob.
