DJI Ronin Intensive

This day-long, intensive workshop is designed to get camera operators up to speed on the DJI Roninand Ronin-M family of brushless gimbal systems. The workshop includes discussion of the technical aspects of the system and demonstrates various shooting techniques when using the Ronin. Single operator techniques and dual operator mode will be covered. This is a very hands-on course, and students will learn to physically balance and tune the Ronin. Working in small groups, each attendee will have the chance to learn and practice operation of the system.

Who Should Attend: The school encourages experienced camera operators to attend, as well as anyone interested in stabilization camera systems. This course is designed to be accessible for those new to working with gimbals, but also provide some in-depth information that any Ronin operator would gain from.
