DUSPLAY AND OPERATION VIA USB-PTP USING EXTERNAL
ACCESSORY (LIKE GIMBALS)
Leica Q3 allows connecting an optional Gimbal like DJI Ronin RS2
via USB-PTP. The Gimbal supports blur-free recordings.
▸ Select USB-Mode in the main menu
▸ Select PTP or Select on connection
▸ Connecting the Gimbal to the camera (see Gimbal operating
instructions)
Once the PTP connection is established, the camera can also be
triggered via the shutter button on the Gimbal.
Many Gimbal models allow controlling the focus function of the
camera, provided it is in MF mode.
Note
• The camera screen will switch off for technical reasons if exter-
nal devices connected to the USB or HDMI output are operated
simultaneously.
