Your Ronin has three axis'. Roll, pitch, and yaw. Each has to be balanced individually in order for the gimbal to operate correctly. It's easy to do on a table with the feet on the bottom extended. You can start with roll or pitch. With the gimbal off, unlock the one axis you will adjust. You basically want the camera to balance when the gimbal is stationary or level. The camera should not rotate or tilt left or right when you take your hands off of it. When satisfied, use the slider to lock the axis. Now unlock pitch. You don't want the lens to tilt down or up. When satisfied lock it. Move to yaw. This is at the base right above the battery and controls. When this one is correctly balanced, the camera won't flop around when the gimbal is tilted, forward 90°. Once you watch a video you'll see what I'm talking about. The Ronin 4 is very powerful and handles up to 6.6 lb payload. Balance is important because it lets the gimbal use the least amount of power for stabilization and also keeps the motors from overheating. The motors in the Ronin 4 are very strong so they are also forgiving 😀. If I recall, you can use the gimbal three or four times before it forces you to register it. Do that and also make sure it upgrades its firmware. After that, you're pretty much ready to go. Don't make any changes to any of the settings until you've practiced a little bit. The gimbal is very intuitive. Keep an eye out so you don't trip, walk into people or a wall 😁. Let us know how it goes.
