Introduction
DJI RONINTM RavenEye Image Transmission System is used to transmit a wireless video signal so that users can
access the camera view remotely. When used with DJI RS 2 or DJI RSC 2, users can also track subjects with
ActiveTrack 3.0 and use remote control features. RavenEye also supports Ronin-S and Ronin-SC and can be used
separately with the camera only.
