Frequently Asked Questions - RoninSC Focus Motor DJI

How to install the Focus motor on the Ronin-SC?

Attach the 12 mm rod to the rod bracket, then attach the bracket to the camera riser. Connect the control cable to the RSS splitter and secure it to the bracket. Attach the motor to the rod. Make sure it is firmly in place.

How to calibrate the Focus motor?

For lenses with mechanical limit, press the multifunction button on the Focus Wheel twice for automatic calibration. For others, press once and manually stop the motor at the start and end points.

What to do if the motor does not respond?

Check that the motor is properly connected and that the Ronin-SC is powered on. If the LED flashes red, the motor may have stalled. Restart and recalibrate.

How to set points A and B on the Focus Wheel?

Turn the motor to the desired point A and press the multifunction button to confirm. Do the same for point B. Press again to delete the points.

How to reverse the rotation direction of the Focus motor?

Press and hold the multifunction button on the Focus Wheel to reverse the rotation direction.

How to update the firmware of the Focus motor?

The motor firmware is included in that of the Ronin-SC. Connect the motor to the Ronin-SC and update via the DJI app.

What does the flashing red LED on the motor mean?

Two red flashes indicate an error, requiring a firmware update. Slow flashing means the motor is disconnected, and fast flashing means it has stalled.

What is the operating temperature range?

The Focus motor operates between -20 °C and 45 °C.

Is the Focus motor compatible with all lenses?

It requires a focus or zoom ring with a gear belt. For lenses without mechanical limit, manual calibration is needed.

How to adjust the gear belt?

Make sure the teeth of the belt face outward, align it on the ring and tighten. To loosen, push the belt outward while holding the fastener. Do not pull too hard.

Usage

Control the focus motor by using the focus wheel after powering on Ronin-SC.

Calibration

The focus motor can be used before calibration, but the range that the focus wheel can rotate the motor will be limited. After calibration, the focus wheel will be able to fully rotate the motor.

Calibration Procedure

1. For lenses with a mechanical limit, calibration can be done automatically. Press the focus wheel multifunction button twice to calibrate the focus motor.

Focus Wheel Multifunction Button

1. For lenses without a mechanical limit, calibration must be done manually. Press the focus wheel multifunction button twice to start the calibration.

a. When the motor rotates to the start point, stop the motor manually. The motor will continue to rotate and stop the motor manually again when it reaches the start point. b. Repeat the step above to confirm the end point.

Set Focus Motor Range

The range of the focus motor can be set by confirming Points A and B on the focus wheel.

Rotate the motor to the desired Point A and press the focus wheel multifunction button to confirm. After Point A is confirmed, repeat the step to confirm Point B. Press the focus wheel multifunction button again to delete Points A and B.

Press and hold the focus wheel multifunction button to reverse the rotational direction of the focus motor.

The focus motor must be calibrated every time it is powered on. DO NOT touch the gear of the focus motor when it is rotating.

The status indicator of the focus wheel indicates the calibration status.

Introduction

• The focus motor can be installed on either side of the camera. Make sure it is securely attached.

5. If the camera is not equipped with a focus ring with 0.8 mm gear pitch, attach the included gear ring solution to the camera lens to use the focus motor.

a. Make sure the gear teeth of the gear ring are aligned with the gear teeth on the focus ring. Align the teeth on the focus ring with the teeth on the lens and press it on. b. Insert the gear ring solution into the belt holder, firmly holding it. Make sure the belt is securely attached to the gear ring holder.

To install the gear ring belt, pull it tight, firmly holding the belt holder. Do not use excessive force when installing the gear ring belt. This may cause damage. - Adjust the gear ring belt, leaving enough slack for adjustment (if necessary).

1. After installing the camera mounting plate and the lens holder on the camera, connect the camera to the Ronin-SC. Connect the camera, Ronin-SC, and focus motor as shown in the figure.

1. If the motor is not mechanically limited, it can be calibrated automatically. Press the multi-function button of the focus ring to calibrate the motor.

Multi-function button of the focus ring

1. If the lens is not mechanically limited, calibration must be performed manually. Press the multi-function button of the focus ring three times to start calibration.

a. When the motor returns to the initial position, stop it manually. The motor will continue to rotate. c. Stop it again when it reaches the initial position. b. Repeat the previous action to confirm the final position.

Setting the motor range of the focus ring

To set the motor range of the focus ring, confirm points A and B on the focus ring.

Move the motor to the selected point A and press the multi-function button of the focus ring to confirm. After confirming point A, repeat this action to confirm point B. To delete points A and B, press the multi-function button of the focus ring again.

Press and hold the multi-function button of the focus ring to change the rotation direction of the focus ring motor.

The focus ring motor must be calibrated each time it is turned on. Do not touch the gear housing of the focus ring motor while it is rotating.
