Operation Modes
There are three operation modes in the Ronin-M: underslung mode, upright mode and briefcase
mode.
Underslung Mode
Underslung mode is the standard, default mode. It can be used without any user input.
Upright Mode
Flip the gimbal forward 180 degrees and it will automatically change to upright mode. Alternatively,
you can set the gimbal into upright mode before turning it on. Upright mode is ideal for car mounts
or other high camera positions, as it allows you to shoot higher and/or at eye level. Upright mode can
be used without any user input. Do not ip the gimbal over sideways going left or right to convert to
upright mode.
