1A Tools has recently launched a DIY edition of their DJI Ronin 2 Tilt Stage upgrade kit. Version 2 still allows you to power 24V camera systems directly from the Ronin 2, but no longer requires users to send in their camera stabilizer for modification. When you’re flying a camera on a gimbal, every ounce and every inch counts. As a result, in most situations, it’s preferable to rely on the gimbal’s own battery system to power the camera, rather than adding an extra bulky, heavy power brick. However, while this is a fairly common solution with 12V systems, it’s not always easily applicable to the more power-hungry 24V cameras – such as ARRI film cameras or modern, high-end digital tools like the ALEXA 35 (our Lab Test here) or V-RAPTOR XL. Almost one year ago, we reported about an interesting solution from American company 1A Tools. Indeed, their original Tilt Stage upgrade consisted of a modification that allowed you to power 24V cameras directly via the Ronin 2’s TB50 batteries. The biggest drawback, however, was that you were required to ship your gimbal to California to have it modified. But with Version 2, that’s no longer the case.
