POWRIG DJI Ronin 2 to ARRI ALEXA Mini / Mini LF / AMIRA Power Cable
The POWRIG RS2-ARRI MINI is a dedicated power cable that connects the DJI Ronin 2 professional cinema gimbal's 14.4V accessory power output (6-pin) to the DC power input of ARRI ALEXA Mini, ALEXA Mini LF, and AMIRA cameras via a right-angle 8-pin LEMO connector.
This cable enables the Ronin 2's TB50 battery system to power the ARRI camera body directly, eliminating the need for a separate on-camera battery plate and reducing total rig weight on gimbal, Steadicam, car mount, and remote head setups.
At just 30 cm (12"), the cable is designed for compact, cage-mounted power routing where the Ronin 2 and ARRI camera are mounted in close proximity on the same rig.
Key Features
- DJI Ronin 2 Power Source (6-Pin Male) — Connects to the Ronin 2 gimbal's accessory power output port, which draws from the Ronin 2's dual TB50 battery system (14.4V nominal output). This provides a regulated, gimbal-integrated power source for the ARRI camera.
- ARRI 8-Pin LEMO Camera Connector (Right-Angle Female) — The right-angle 8-pin LEMO female connector mates with the ARRI ALEXA Mini, Mini LF, and AMIRA DC power input. The right-angle design routes the cable flush against the camera body, preventing cable protrusion inside tight camera cages and reducing strain on the LEMO port.
- 14.4V Compatible with ARRI DC Input — The Ronin 2's 14.4V output falls within the ARRI ALEXA Mini / Mini LF / AMIRA DC input voltage range (11V–34V via the LEMO 8-pin input, per ARRI specifications). Always verify your specific camera firmware and power settings before connecting external power.
- 30 cm (12") Compact Length — Ideal for cage-mounted setups where the Ronin 2 and ARRI camera are adjacent on the same rig plate. The short length eliminates excess cable management and keeps the power run clean inside the camera cage.
- Heavy-Gauge Shielded Conductors — Sized to handle the ARRI ALEXA Mini's power draw (approximately 35–55W depending on sensor mode, accessories, and media) without voltage drop or cable heating. Shielding prevents EMI interference from nearby wireless video transmitters and radio microphones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 14.4V from the Ronin 2 safe for ARRI ALEXA Mini and Mini LF?
Yes. The ARRI ALEXA Mini and Mini LF accept a DC input voltage range of 11V to 34V via the 8-pin LEMO power input (per ARRI's official specifications). The Ronin 2's 14.4V TB50 battery output falls well within this safe operating range. However, always verify your specific camera's power menu settings and consult ARRI's documentation before connecting any external power source.
Will this cable work with the DJI RS2 or RS3?
No. This cable is designed for the DJI Ronin 2 professional cinema gimbal, which has a 6-pin accessory power output port. The DJI RS2, RS3, RS3 Pro, and RS4 use different connectors and do not have the same 6-pin power output interface. This cable is not compatible with RS-series gimbals.
Why is the camera connector right-angle instead of straight?
The right-angle 8-pin LEMO connector routes the cable flush against the ARRI camera body, which is essential when the camera is mounted inside a cage or on a gimbal where space is limited. A straight connector would protrude 3–4 cm from the camera body, potentially interfering with cage plates, rod supports, and gimbal arm clearance. The right-angle design also reduces mechanical strain on the LEMO port during movement.
Can I power both the gimbal and the ARRI camera from the same TB50 batteries?
Yes. The Ronin 2's accessory power output draws from the same TB50 battery system that powers the gimbal motors. However, this reduces total runtime because both the gimbal and camera are drawing from the same battery capacity. For long shoots, carry spare TB50 batteries and use the Ronin 2's hot-swap capability (dual-bay configuration) to change batteries without powering down the camera.
Will this cable work with the ARRI ALEXA 35?
The ARRI ALEXA 35 uses a different battery adapter system (ARRI BAB-BT battery adapter) and may have a different external power input configuration than the ALEXA Mini / Mini LF / AMIRA. Compatibility with the ALEXA 35 has not been confirmed. Verify the ALEXA 35's 8-pin LEMO input pin configuration with ARRI or your rental house before ordering.
Does the 30 cm cable reach if the Ronin 2 and camera are on separate mounting points?
30 cm (12") is designed for setups where the Ronin 2 gimbal and ARRI camera are mounted in close proximity on the same rig plate or cage. If your Ronin 2 and camera are on separate mounting points (e.g., gimbal on a separate arm from the camera body), 30 cm may be too short. In that case, contact us at info@powrig.com to inquire about custom cable lengths.
Is the cable shielded against interference from wireless video and radio mics?
Yes. The cable uses shielded heavy-gauge conductors to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) from wireless video transmitters (Teradek Bolt, Hollyland Mars), radio microphones (Lectrosonic, Sennheiser EW-DP), and LED light drivers commonly present on ARRI camera rigs.
