Introduction
Employing industry-leading communication technologies and control algorithms,
the DJI Force Pro is a camera movement control system that allows operators to
control gimbals remotely with high accuracy. By precisely synchronizing
operator movement with camera movement, the Force Pro allows operators to
masterfully capture complicated shots more intuitively than ever.
Used with the DJI wireless receiver, Force Pro’s dual-frequency 2.4 GHz and
5.8 GHz wireless transmission system delivers a control distance of up to 3 km
(unobstructed and free of interference). It also supports a wired connection,
which eliminates interference with other equipment on a film set.
The screen and dedicated buttons make it easy to set up parameters on the
Force Pro and gimbal. Featuring a 4730 mAh battery that offers up to 5 hours
of continuous operation, the Force Pro has enough power for an entire shoot.
The Force Pro is currently compatible with RONINTM 2 and Ronin-S, with support
for more devices coming soon. It can be mounted on a tripod or used handheld
with the adapter.

Main UI Settings
Force Pro Settings
Basic
The Deadband, Smoothing, and Endpoints settings for the pan, roll, and tilt
axes can be independently adjusted. The default endpoint settings for pan axis
are set to 180°, which means there is no endpoint for the pan axis, allowing
it to rotate 360° continuously.

Ronin 2 Pause, and Control mode options.
Control Mode: Includes Speed and Position Control modes.
In Speed mode, turn the Speed Control knob to adjust the movement ratio
between the gimbal and Force Pro. Increase the Smoothing to make the gimbal’s
translated movement smoother and slower. Adjust the Deadband to adjust the
gimbal’s response sensitivity.
In Position mode, the movement ratio between the gimbal and Force Pro remains 1:1. Turn the Speed Control knob to adjust the gimbal’s response sensitivity. In Position mode, the Speed Control knob is the only factor that will affect the gimbal movement.
