Accessory News

by Francesco AndreolaJune 26^th, 2023

Tilta has just introduced a 24V Power Distribution Module for the DJI Ronin 2 that is specifically designed to power high-voltage camera systems – such as the ARRI ALEXA 35, ALEXA Mini and Mini LF – when mounted on the gimbal. It retails for $135.

First unveiled at NAB 2017, the DJI Ronin 2 is still the company’s most advanced gimbal and many cinematographers’ favorite choice for stabilizing heavy camera packages. However, its 4-pin power port can only output at 14.4V, which can be limiting when flying 24V camera systems like the ALEXA 35 or the RED V-RAPTOR XL.

Some companies have already developed solutions for powering 24V cameras directly from the Ronin 2. For example, we recently reported on the DJI Ronin 2 Tilt Stage Upgrade from 1A Tools. Now, let’s take a closer look at what Tilta has to offer!

Tilta 24V Power Distribution Module for Ronin 2 – features

The Tilta 24V Power Distribution Module is a tiny box that measures 83x54x12mm in size, weighs only 125g, and has durable aluminum construction. According to the manufacturer, the accessory easily screws to the bottom of the gimbal and can provide a constant 24V output (96W/4A) to power-hungry camera systems and accessories.

There’s a downside, however. Indeed, as Tilta points out, when using a 24V camera system with the Ronin 2’s 4-pin power port, it is advisable to connect extra accessories like wireless video and follow focus systems to an alternative power source due to its maximum limit of 100W/8A.

The module has an 11-17V power input on one side and a 24V output on the opposite. The former connects to the Power Hub of the Ronin 2 via an included 30cm 4-Pin Right Angle Male to 4-pin Female Power Cable, while a 4-Pin Male to 8-Pin Female Coiled Power Cable enables connection between the module and ARRI cameras.

The connectors are claimed to have a rigid and durable design that should protect the module against overload and reversed polarity. Additionally, since the accessory may become hot during operation, its design integrates a metal grid for heat dissipation.

Price and availability

The new Tilta 24V Power Distribution Module for DJI Ronin 2 is now available to pre-order from the manufacturer’s website. The official retail price is set at $135.
