This innovative kit enables users to supply power to 24V camera systems directly from the Ronin 2’s batteries, eliminating the need to send in the stabilizer for modifications.

The Need for Integrated Power Solutions

Operating a camera on a gimbal demands careful consideration of weight and space. Typically, utilizing the gimbal’s own battery to power the camera is preferred over adding an external power source, which can be bulky and heavy. This method is straightforward for 12V camera systems but poses challenges for 24V systems, such as those used in ARRI film cameras and high-end digital cameras like the ALEXA 35 or V-RAPTOR XL.

Advancements with Version 2

Previously, 1A Tools offered a solution that allowed for the powering of 24V cameras using the Ronin 2’s TB50 batteries, but it required sending the gimbal to California for modification. With the release of Version 2, users no longer have to send their equipment away, thanks to the new DIY upgrade kit.

Key Features and Installation Process

The Version 2 upgrade kit includes several components: a red tilt stage cover, a circuit board, a spacer, thermal pads, thermal paste, screws (M2x10 and M2x14), and a flexible power cable compatible with the ARRI ALEXA 35. Installation is user-friendly, requiring only basic tools such as a Phillips screwdriver, a T6x50 Torx key, a 1.5mm Allen wrench key, a heat gun or hair dryer, and tweezers. No soldering is needed, offering flexibility to add or remove the upgrade as desired without permanent changes to the Ronin 2.
