DESCRIPTION
The Ronin 4D from DJI is a cutting-edge all-in-one camera/gimbal solution that is intended for use by independent creators working alone as well as dynamic professional video capture. The "4D" designation refers to the three-axis gimbal stabilization as well as the Z-axis (vertical) stabilization built into the X9-8K camera. This system is perfect for independent content creators, indie filmmakers, and event videographers because it is made of lightweight carbon fiber and an aluminum/magnesium alloy. The 4D is well suited for use as a "B" or second unit camera for larger cine-style productions thanks to its full-frame capture at rates up to 8K30 in ProRes HQ and Ronin's CineCore 3.0 image processing system with ACES workflow support.
The main Zenmuse X9-8K full-frame video camera is included in this package, along with a 3-axis gimbal and a variety of modular monitor, focusing, and control elements. A DL lens mount, a LiDAR rangefinder, a ProSSD 1TB drive, a TB50 battery, a charging hub, and left and right control handgrips are among the kit's included items.
Note: A wireless video transmitter is not included in this combo kit.
All-in-One Camera Gimbal System
- his 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
- Included modular components:
- Left and right control handgrips
- ProSSD 1TB media drive
- LiDAR range finder
- Top Handle
- Baseplate
- Separately available components:
- 7" high-bright, touchscreen monitor
- Wireless video transmitter

Firmware Update at Launch
- Internal Apple ProRes Raw will not be supported as initially planned
- A Mirror Control Mode will enable the High-Bright Remote Monitor to view and control the main camera monitor
- The Remote Monitor Expansion Plate will now offer a clean video output for viewing by the director/video village
- Select third-party lenses will be supported by the LiDAR focus system
- Apple ProRes 4444 XQ will be available via a firmware update later in 2022
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 ProRes 422 HQ and H.264 video
- Industry-standard ACES workflow support provide easy compatibility with other cinema cameras
Advanced 4-Axis Stabilization
- 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
- Built-in IMU (inertial measurement unit) and barometer
- New and improved stabilization algorithm
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
ProRes 422 HQ and H.264 Capture
- Capture up to 8K30 ProRes 422 HQ video in 17:9 full frame
- Capture up to DCI 4K60 ProRes 422 HQ or H.264 in 17:9 full-frame or Super35
Dual Native ISO
- 800/5000 dual native ISO
- EI 200 to 12800
- 14+ stops of dynamic range produce nuanced imaging under a range of lighting conditions
In-Camera ND Filters
- Built-in ND.03 to ND2.7 filters let you easily adjust to quickly changing lighting conditions
- Especially handy for outdoor shoots with changing cloud cover
- Motorized filter system
- Carry in "built" mode for easy company moves
LiDAR Focus Control

- 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
Autofocus Features
- 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
ActiveTrack Pro
- DJI's ActiveTrack Pro features combine continuous autofocusing with composition adjustment for professional-looking tracking shots out of the gate
- ActiveTrack Pro is based on computer vision, deep learning technology, and the computing power of DJI's CineCore 3.0 imaging system
Dual Focus, Iris, and Control Grips
- Right-hand grip has a focus wheel that doubles as a control for main camera adjustments (menus, exposure, etc.)
- Left-hand grip has a full-range joystick to control pan/tilt; useful when adjusting headroom and more during follow mode
Single User or Crew-Assisted Operation
- Top-notch stabilization in a lightweight form
- Ideal for both solo operators as well as assistant-accompanied shoots
- Designed to counter footsteps from inexperienced gimbal shooters
- Works equally well with a single grip, dual grips, shoulder supported, or tripod-mounted
