Introduction
The Thumb Controller is designed specically for DJI Ronin series
handheld gimbals. It provides a simple, intuitive interface for
controlling the gimbal’s pan, tilt, and roll motion. The pressuresensitive stick and the easy-to-read OLED display give Ronin users
more control than ever before.
The Thumb Controller communicates with the Ronin-M via a
preinstalled internal receiver. An external receiver is needed when
the Thumb Controller is used with the Ronin.
