FAQ
-
I have connected The Link to The Beast gimbal and it does not move like on the tutorial video.
-
How can I access The Link menu?
To enter The Link menu you need to hold both buttons A and B for 2 seconds. After that both diodes will blink green for 2 seconds as confirmation and will start to flash in sequence Red-Orange-Green-Orange-Red to let you know that you're now in the menu.
-
I have connected The Link to DJI Ronin and my gimbal does not respond to any movement I make with the host unit. Why?
Remember that you need to select DJI Ronin profile in The Link menu to be able to control DJI Ronin.
-
DJI Ronin pan axis bounces from left to right when any faster move.
Make sure that you set all necessary options in DJI Assistant. Also increase stiffness value for pan axis.
