Cable(s) needed to connect a Sony A6300 to a DJI Ronin (4/3/2) stabilizing gimbal


I connected my DJI Ronin 4 to my Sony A6300 camera using a “generic” USB-C to micro-usb cable.  [This is equivalent to the DJI “Multi-Camera Control Cable (Micro-USB)” cable.]

The generic cable allowed the Ronin to start/stop video recording, and adjust the shutter speed and aperture (BUT NOT trigger the shutter to take photographs, such as in the auto-panoramic mode…)

To control the shutter, I had to use the specialized DJI Sony “Multi” cable (labeled for the Ronin 2, but it worked fine for the Ronin 4). This cable allows you to start/stop video recording, trigger the shutter to take a photo, but NOT control the shutter speed or Aperture. So depending on what is important to you, you may need to buy both cables to use a Sony A6300 with a DJI Ronin.

You can compare and contrast the differences between the two cables here:
