DJI Ronin 4D 4-Axis Cinema Camera 8K Combo

The technical details behind this cinema camera

DJI Ronin 4D 4-Axis Cinema Camera 8K Combo offers exceptional performance and physical design. It is constructed from lightweight carbon fiber and an aluminum/magnesium alloy, this system is perfect for independent content creators, indie filmmakers, and event videographers. The full-frame capture at rates up to 8K30 in ProRes HQ and 8K75 in ProRes Raw and Ronin's CineCore 3.0 image processing system with ACES workflow support also suits the 4D as a "B" or 2nd unit camera for larger cine-style productions. It is designed for both solo use by independent creators and dynamic pro video capture, the Ronin 4D from DJI is an innovative all-in-one camera/gimbal solution. The "4D" designation refers to the Z-axis (vertical) stabilization built into the X9-8K camera and the three-axis gimbal stabilization.

CineCore 3.0 Imaging Processing System

The Zenmuse X9, DJI's full-frame camera, uses a proprietary chip for advanced processing and high-performance computing. The Ronin 4D uses the CineCore 3.0 system to support internal recording of Apple ProRes Raw, ProRes 422 HQ, and H.264 video. Industry-standard ACES workflow support provides easy compatibility with other cinema cameras.

All-in-One Camera Gimbal System

This innovative camera gimbal combines imaging, stabilization, and focusing in one lightweight, carbon fiber, and aluminum/magnesium alloy rig. Combination design reduces your setup time at the start of the day and in between setups and locations.

Advanced 4-Axis Stabilization

The selectable Z-axis stabilization reduces unwanted vertical camera movement, especially during dollying moves. Z-axis stabilization built into the camera, 3-axis stabilization in the gimbal. Tilt stabilization uses dual, symmetrical motors. Pan and X (roll) axes with additional stiffness buffering. Downward ToF (time of flight) sensor. Forward and downward-facing dual-vision sensors. New and improved stabilization algorithm. It also offers Built-in IMU (inertial measurement unit) and barometer.

Captures Raw, 4:22 HQ, and H.264

Captures 8K full-frame raw at rates up to 75 fps in full-frame 2.39:1, Captures up to 5.5K raw at rates up to 60 fps in Super 35 17:9, Capture up to 8K30 ProRes 422 HQ video in 17:9 full-frame, and Capture up to DCI 4K60 ProRes 422 HQ or H.264 in 17:9 full-frame or Super35.

Zenmuse X9-8K Camera with DL Lens Mount

The D4's DL lens mount supports DJI's current selection of lightweight, carbon fiber 16, 24, 35, and 50mm lenses. Full-frame capture with all but the 16mm DL lens. Interchangeable lens mounts available for use with Sony E-mount or Leica M-mount lenses. Supports ultra-wide, f/0.95 large-aperture, electronic zoom, macro, and anamorphic cine lenses.

Autofocus Features

It maintains focus, even when motion blur is produced by fast-moving subjects. Separately available focus motor for use with manual lenses. Continuous autofocus is compatible with ActiveTrack Pro, a boon for solo operators.

Automated Manual Focus

The AMF function (Automated Manual Focus) combines the accuracy of manual focus with the ease of autofocus. Operators can grab the focus wheel of the right handgrip at any time to manually focus. Handgrip focus wheel uses dynamic damping to provide a physical feel for focus changes.

LiDAR Focus Control

LiDAR (light detection and ranging) system uses up to 43,200 ranging points within a 33' range. Excellent focusing performance even in low-light environments. Focus pulling can be viewed graphically, thanks to a built-in depth meter. Intuitive and highly accurate focusing system. Modular LiDAR focusing module attached to the front of the D4 rig.
