Pentax k3ii Mount on DJI Ronin

ros81 · 02-18-2019, 09:27 AM

Has anyone used the Pentax K3ii with the DJI Ronin? The Mount screw doesn't go all the way into the camera. The Pentax camera is short of threads. Any suggestions?

Assuming that the DJI Ronin is some sort of camera support, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer. Your camera accepts a standard 1/4-20 thread at a depth typical for most tripod heads. If the manufacturer exceeds that depth, your options are to swap in a different screw or use an intermediate plate (e.g. Arca-Swiss or similar) or adapter.

Go to the hardware store, buy a file and file the screw down untill it tightens the camera properly.

Less work: add a 1/4-20 washer (probably about 8 cents at Home Depot!)
