With the Gimbal on, software open, select the 'UPGRADE' button next to the latest firmware at the top of the list. My Ronin-S gimbal needed multiple upgrades! It was running 1.5.0.40 when I received it, and it took about 5 minutes to update the firmware to 1.7.0.60.

If you have multiple upgrades available, selecting the latest version will get you all of the latest firmware updates. You don't have to install each of them individually - just install the latest version and you're good to go!

Now if you need to upgrade, downgrade or for some reason refresh your Ronin-S firmware in the future - it will be a breeze!
