We developed an Exoskeleton designed to reinforce the DJI Ronin 2 Gimbal at its most vulnerable point.
Since 2017, the DJI Ronin 2 has been in the hands, vehicles and drones of XM2 film crews worldwide. Over the years, our team have gained valuable insights into this gimbals capacity.
We identified a common issue: vulnerability just above the neck of the roll axis. We’ve experienced cracks and separation in the Ronin 2’s carbon fiber structure. Heavy camera payloads, rigid mounting, and demanding setups increase the risk of premature failure and we go hard.
Our engineers at XM2 Labs used 3D scanning technology to analyze the DJI Ronin 2s core structure. And since early 2023, we've been prototyping our R2 Exoskeleton throughout the worlds toughest filming locations. We took the fall so you don't have to.
The R2 Exoskeleton is shaped from durable, 6061 Aluminum metal supports. These supports effectively bridge across the vulnerable area, providing critical support to reduce the likelihood of critical failure.
We've also incorporated the ability to attach accessories to the rear and the sides of the Exoskeleton. You might use this for video transmitters, Aero Landing Gear, counterweights and more.
Already proven on-set in the worlds harshest conditions, you can trust the original.

The R2 Exoskeleton Shelf and Exoskeleton Counterweight Set are essential accessories for optimizing the balance and functionality of the DJI Ronin 2 Gimbal. The R2 Exoskeleton Shelf mounts to the back of the R2 Exoskeleton, providing a platform for additional accessories like video transmitters and Master wheels receivers. Its through-hole slots allow for better weight distribution by using mounted accessories as counterweights, enhancing the gimbal’s performance.
The R2 Exoskeleton Counterweight Set is designed to balance heavier camera setups by adding weight to the R2 Exoskeleton’s Wings. This set includes two 1-inch counterweights, side bracket attachments, and bolts, allowing precise adjustment to maintain a level setup and support larger camera systems without compromising the Ronin 2’s performance.
The Ronin-Majig is a safety bracket designed to secure the Ronin camera cage to the pan motor using an included safety cable. We recommend it alongside the Exoskeleton because, while the Exoskeleton addresses the weakest part of the Ronin, the Ronin-Majig provides an additional layer of security by protecting against potential failures in the roll motor, the Ronin's next weakest point. This is just an added layer of safety and such a simple device makes this easy.
Inspired by XM2's Thingymajig for MoVi Pro, the Ronin-Majig offers a common attachment point for a paracord between the Ronin-Majig and your camera/payload. It does not interfere with the Ronin 2 pan axis adjustments, movements, power cables, or batteries it still allows full 360 movement of the gimbal.
