- After the update is complete, unplug the USB-C cable from Ronin-S and proceed to power on the gimbal.
- If Ronin-S has a camera attached and is turned on while updating the firmware, make sure to protect the camera and lens as the motors will shut off during the update.
- If the firmware update fails, restart the Ronin-S and retry.
