One of the most useful and often overlooked add-ons for our cable cam systems is the Gimbal Control Connection Cable.
In simple terms, this cable allows you to control DJI gimbals, including models like the RS2 Pro, RS3 Pro, and RS4 Pro, directly through Noxon’s Control System. That means:
-
No need to worry about Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signal drops between your phone or tablet and the gimbal.
-
Full real-time control from a single command station.
-
Gimbal and Cablecam control from the same remote, using our intuitive interface.
This setup provides a more streamlined, reliable, and stress-free operating experience. For operators working in dynamic environments, it reduces the need for multiple devices or extra operators, which can translate into significant cost savings.
It’s important to note: this functionality does not support pre-programmed gimbal moves. Instead, you operate the gimbal manually, using your hands to move the camera while navigating the cablecam with the foot pedals included in our kits. This setup gives you total creative control while keeping your workflow light and flexible.
How to Connect the Cable
Using the cable is simple, but positioning matters. Here’s how to get started:
Find your DJI Cable in your package
Identify the SBUS connector in your Gimbal
In some Ronin models, there is a connector on each side. In this case, we’re using the RS2 Pro, and we should install it on the connector located on the opposite side of the battery lock.
Connect the SBUS connector into the correct port on your DJI gimbal. This cable:
This way:
Make sure it’s installed in the orientation shown in the picture, with the cable running parallel to the Ronin’s battery. Keep in mind that in other versions of the Ronin, the position might vary, so try different orientations if you’re experiencing issues.
Connect the 4-pin connector to the designated port on the Portable Wirecam:
Like this:
Or connect the 4-pin connector to the designated port on the High-Speed Cablecam
Like this:
Please note that it is really important to connect the 4-pin cable in the right direction, with the secure in the right position.
By doing this, you will be able to work like this:
Important:
The location of the SBUS port varies between Ronin models:
-
Sometimes it’s on the right side
-
Other times on the left
-
In some cases, the orientation of the plug is also specific
