Launch the Ronin app, tap User Profile, and you can set gimbal parameters and choose different follow modes. In Full Follow mode, the pan and tilt axes will follow your movements, while in Pan Follow mode, only the pan axis will follow your movements. In FPV mode, the pan, tilt, and roll axes will follow your movements. In 3D Roll 360 mode, the gimbal will automatically enter Flashlight mode, allowing you to rotate it 360°.

ActiveTrack 3.0 is an automatic tracking function that incorporates DJI’s optimized deep learning algorithms. After launching the Ronin app and selecting ActiveTrack 3.0, the gimbal will automatically recognize human subjects and track objects. You can also manually choose an object for the gimbal to follow, which is perfect for filming in more difficult to control environments.

ActiveTrack 3.0 stabilizes your composition during tracking while also allowing you to re-frame with the gimbal joystick. In addition, when focusing on the head and shoulders of a human subject, ActiveTrack 3.0 achieves a higher success rate of tracking.

Attach your phone to the top of the camera’s hot shoe. Select Create in the Ronin app and then enable ActiveTrack 3.0. Afterward, choose a target and tap the Trigger to start tracking.

Currently, ActiveTrack 3.0 is only available on certain mobile devices. You can check the ActiveTrack 3.0 Phone Compatibility List to learn about compatible mobile devices.

By enabling Force Mobile, you can use your smartphone to control gimbal movements with the phone's built-in accelerometers. For an updated list of compatible devices, refer to the Force Mobile Supported Mobile Phone List.
