Ronin-M User Manual Adding a Third-Party Transmitter/Receiver The Ronin-M supports 3rd party transmitters/receivers, such as D-Bus. Connect the transmitter through the integrated port (refer to the Ronin-M Diagram for the location of the D-Bus port). Operation Modes There are three operation modes for the Ronin-M: Underslung Mode, Upright Mode and Briefcase Mode. Underslung Mode Underslung Mode is the standard, default mode. The Ronin-M can be used in this mode without any adjustments. Operation Modes Upright Mode Flip the gimbal forward 180 degrees and it will automatically change to Upright Mode. Alternatively, you can change the gimbal into upright mode before turning it on. Upright Mode is ideal for car mounts or other top down perspective camera positions, as it allows you to shoot higher and/or at eye  { ^  * ! + !
