Control Deck Firmware

V1.4  (11th September 2024)

Download firmware file.

What's new?

  • Inspire 3
    "Tilt to 90° down" functions the same as pressing "Gimbal Down" on the DJI RC Plus controller. It's no longer a coding workaround.
    Long press the Tilt Speed knob for 0.5sec to activate.
    A short press of that knob will still "Tilt Recenter".

V1.3  (4th September 2024)

Download firmware file.

What's new? 

  • General
    Fixed voltage read out when switching from AC Power Adapter to a high voltage battery (TB50 / TB51)

  • Inspire 3
    We added a shortcut for "Tilt to 90° Down." Long press the Tilt Speed knob for 0.5sec to activate. Gimbal will tilt recenter first, then tilt down to 90°. A short press of that knob will still "Tilt Recenter"

  • RS4 Pro with or without LiDAR Hub
    In Control Deck menu, we added 'RS Motor' which let's you assign the single motor control you have via Transmission, to either 'Focus Knob' or 'Rocker' on Control Deck. If using with DJI Focus Pro Motor, then it MUST be in 'F' mode

    Note: this setting will override the Zoom/Roll Swap setting for the Rocker and Twist axes.

  • Ronin 2 with LiDAR Hub
    Unlocked the ability to adjust focus motor speed and invert motor direction via High-Bright Monitor. General Settings : Custom Hand Grips : Right Hand Grip

    In Control Deck menu, we added 'RS Motor' which let's you assign the single motor control you have via Transmission, to either 'Focus Knob' or 'Rocker' on Control Deck. If using with DJI Focus Pro Motor, then it MUST be in 'F' mode

    Note: this setting will override the Zoom/Roll Swap setting for the Rocker and Twist axes.

V1.2  (31st July 2024)

Download firmware file.

What's new? 

  • General
    Fixed roll drift when Roll was assigned to the Rocker.

  • Ronin 2
    Added function: MODE (long press on far right button) will now toggle between User Profile 2 and User Profile 1. First press of the button after powering up will be to enable User Profile 2. This is useful for heavy lift drone teams with landing gear on gimbal, set User Profile 1 to 2-axis and Recenter and User Profile 2 to 3-axis and Free on the Ronin 2 back screen. Also useful for on ground filming or vehicle where you want to jump between free and follow modes, in which case leave both set to 3-Axis and just change free/follow setting.

    Ensure your Pan, Tilt and Roll deadbands are set to 0. Back R2 screen : Remote : Pan : Deadband : 0 (then repeat for Tilt and Roll)

    If changing from 4D or i3 to R2 or RS3/4 Pro control, either power cycle your Control Deck or go to Control Deck SETUP and toggle FIZ Control Off and then On again. This is to reset the communication protocol for FIZ.

  • RS3 & RS4 Pro
    Change of Function: MODE (long press on far right button) previously toggled between PTF, PF and FPV (or portrait/360° Roll/Custom if chosen in this 3rd position where FPV is standard)
    It will now ALWAYS toggle between PTF and the 3rd position which you can set as FPV / 360° Roll / Portrait / Custom. First press of the button after powering up will be to toggle TO Position 3. 

  • Notes
    We are working on a workaround to enable quick to 90° tilt down for the Inspire 3, like the RC Plus has. This will be on the next firmware update.

    Roll Trim doesn't always recenter to exactly 0°, despite being centred on the pot. This will be most noticeable if you are moving very quickly back and forth either side of the zero point, but in most normal use cases it will not be noticeable. This is a limitation of DJI's rate based system. Always worth clicking roll recenter button on top of joystick after zeroing the Roll Trim!

V1.1  (24th July 2024)

Download firmware file.

What's new? 

  • Added Shake On Move
    ON / OFF
    On: Shake will continue on all axes, regardless of joystick input.
    Off: Shake will only be on axis that are not getting input from joystick, once input from joystick stops that axis will ease into shake again.
  • Added Shake Mode 3 — it's even more violent!
  • Refined Roll Trim to approx. +/- 3° on each platform, see more info on Roll Trim in notes below.

  • Inspire 3 / Ronin 4D
    Fixed bug of R/S not working on Control Deck when in FIZ Control - Off
    Ensure you have DJI High-Bright General Settings : Recording Device set to TX (if no microSD in High-Bright) or TX+SD (if microSD card in High-Bright)

  • Ronin 2
    When using LiDAR Hub with RS or Focus Pro motor, you will have focus control, but it is rate based so the end stops on focus knob won't be exact. (with LiDAR hub)
    We have lobbied DJI to make focus absolute via Transmission, like they have for the 4D, Inspire 3 and even the internal 2.4GHz between Focus Pro Hand Unit and Focus Pro Motors! You can join the Facebook group and comment here.

    Ronin 2 with LiDAR Hub - Invert Dial Focus Dir. (HB right grip) : Toggling this setting in the HB menu doesn't reverse it. We are working on fixing this!

  • RS3 / RS4 Pro
    With RS or Focus Pro motor, you will have focus control, but it is rate based so end stops on focus knob won't be exact (ensure dial setting on RS3/RS4 is on Focus Motor) - (with or without LiDAR Hub)

V1.0  (10th July 2024)  LAUNCH FIRMWARE

Download firmware file.

What's new?

  • R2 User Profiles (1 — 5)
    Use the rear screen of Ronin 2 to setup different profiles. Profiles can cover pan, tilt and roll limits, 2/3-axis mode setting, Follow Mode setting (free, follow, FPV, recenter), Mounting Mode (Handheld, Car, Aerial, Tripod). Easily switch between these profiles within the Control Deck menu.
  • Focus Mode (4D and i3)
    Full / Half / Third
    We added Third as this allows you to map the far 1/3 of the lens to the full range (320°) of the focus knob. On the Sony 16-35mm that means from 4' - ∞ , rather than 1' - ∞. Particularly helpful on Inspire 3 :)
  • Menu Improvements
    Updated layout and naming. The menu list now loops. Long press the "SETUP" button to quickly exit the menu.
  • Roll Trim
    Roll trim should adjust the same degrees total each way, even when roll speed is set slow, medium or fast. This has to be maths'ed out as it's all rate based on Transmission 🙃
  • Focus Knob Calibration
    Choice in menu to calibrate the knob. Only required if you feel something has changed and you're not hitting end stops on 4D or i3.
  • Axis flips (4D and i3)
    You can flip focus, iris and zoom in the "General" "3-Ch Hand Unit Settings" of the DJI High-Bright Monitor. Also works in Half or Third focus modes.
