Amid the wares DJI introduced at NAB 2018 this week are a pair of professional gimbal control tools designed for `every level of filmmaker and scenario.` Called the Master Wheels and Force Pro, these two DJI products are built to control the company`s Ronin 2 and Ronin-S gimbals, offering high precision control and hoping to simplify the shooting of complex and/or fast-moving scenes.
DJI Master Wheels
Master Wheels is a control device that adjusts gimbal movements using a trio of weighted wheels. These wheels control roll, pan, and tilt in part using ultra-high-res optical encoders capable of detecting `the subtlest` adjustments, DJI explains. Each wheel`s angle can be adjusted, and the wheels can also be detached.
Master Wheels supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless transmission and has an operating distance of more than 1.9 miles / 3km. Latency is as low as 10ms, and users have the option of detaching the wireless transmitter to remotely mount it with a 5m / 16ft cord, providing a stronger signal.
Other features include dials to control dampening, speed, and smoothness, support for 1/4` and 3/8` accessories, and a dedicated Mitchell mount on the main console`s base.
DJI Force Pro
The other product announced at NAB 2018, Force Pro, enables users to remotely control gimbals via a 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless transmission system and DJI`s remote control tech. Force Pro also offers latency as low as 10ms, plus a CANBUS cable physical tether with a 200Hz signal for avoiding interference issues.
The control tool also features a built-in Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and compass that work together to prevent gimbal drifting and improve movement precision. Force Pro features up to 5 hours of battery life and supports recharging using the CANBUS port, USB-C, and a DC-in port ...
