Connecting the Ronin S to Canon 90d

The Canon 90D is now compatible with the DJI Ronin S for follow focus and starting and stopping recording. Tim runs through connecting the camera to the gimbal with the MCC-B micro USB cable. Unfortunately, DJI doesn't provide all the information you need in one place, so I've pieced it all together from the Ronin S manual, the compatibility list (June 2020), a DJI 'How to' video and other YouTube videos for other camera systems. Hope it helps!

I tested the gimbal with the Canon 24-105mm f4 IS II which is on the compatibility list. I then found that the Canon 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM and Canon 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS STM lenses also worked, even though they aren't on the list.

Unfortunately, when shooting this video, the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, Canon 35mm f2 and Canon 50mm f1.8 lenses wouldn't work with the follow focus wheel. But you can still use them and the start / stop function on the Ronin S still works.

Most of the video was shot on a Canon 750D (Rebel T6i) with a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, as I was using the 90d for demonstration purposes.
