DJI Ronin 4D integrates cinematic imaging, a 4-axis gimbal, LiDAR focusing, and wireless video transmission and control, making it incredibly convenient for you to start shooting quickly. Its modular design supports expansion accessories, offering more creative possibilities.
Ronin 4D is equipped with Zenmuse X9, DJI’s flagship full-frame camera. It also features DJI’s latest image processing system, CineCore 3.0. This system uses DJI’s proprietary chip to provide advanced processor architecture, offering extremely high-performance computing power in a compact cinema camera. CineCore 3.0 allows Ronin 4D to support internal recording of Apple ProRes RAW, ProRes 422 HQ, and H.264 video. It also supports up to 8K/75fps and 4K/120fps video recording, delivering multiple options for professional-level creation.
The full-frame X9 gimbal camera can internally record in ProRes 422 HQ, and supports 14+ stops of dynamic range, dual native ISO, built-in 9-stop ND filters, and interchangeable lens mounts to put cinematic imagery within your reach.
Autofocus is fast, accurate, and reliable even in low-lit environments, and is now available on manual lenses. LiDAR Waveform makes manual focusing more intuitive and convenient. Automated Manual Focus delivers an unrivaled focusing experience.
DCI 8K (8192×4320)/60fps video retains every little detail, from rich foliage to inspiring architecture, skin texture to strands of hair, all with flawless quality. For those who need to output in 4K, recording in 8K offers unprecedented creative options with more flexibility for cropping, re-composing, and stabilizing videos in post.
Zenmuse X9 supports dual native ISO (X9-8K: 800/4000; X9-6K: 800/5000), which records images with exquisite detail and minimal noise, even when filming an evening cityscape or beach, or a scene lit by dim candlelight.
With 14+ stops of dynamic range, Zenmuse X9 delivers natural transitions of highlights and shadows in complex lighting conditions such as backlit scenes and direct sunlight. These traditionally difficult scenes can now be captured easily and with confidence.
DJI Cinema Color Science (DCCS) is a comprehensive system comprising the CineCore image processing platform, the DCCS color engine, D-Gamut color space, and D-Log curve, all culminating from years of imaging experience by DJI. It's designed to unlock the full potential of professional aerial and ground imaging equipment, offering creators more room for creativity and vividly recreating the kaleidoscopic colors seen by the human eye. In addition, X9 supports the industry-standard ACES workflow for effortless compatibility with the color systems of other cinema cameras.
X9 has 9-stop built-in high-quality ND filters (ND 2 to ND 512, or ND 0.3 to ND 2.7) that can be quickly and easily switched thanks to an internal motorized system. These filters were also designed to match and compliment the color science of Ronin 4D.
X9’s standard DL mount supports a set of compact full-frame prime lenses. The housings are made of lightweight, monocoque carbon fiber, so each lens weighs just 180 g.
In addition to prime lenses, X9 is compatible with DJI’s first cinema zoom lens DL PZ 17-28 mm T3.0 ASPH, which covers ultra-wide to wide-angle focal lengths with a minimum object distance of 0.19 m, [delivering ultra-high resolution from center to edge. The lens body is made of magnesium aluminum alloy and weighs only approximately 520 g, making it a perfect match for the X9 gimbal camera from size to weight.
X9 supports interchangeable lens mounts, including DJI’s proprietary DL mount as well as third-party mounts like Leica L, Leica M, Sony E, and ARRI PL (E-mount and PL-mount units are provided by third parties). Ultra-wide, f/0.95 large-aperture, power zoom, macro, and anamorphic lenses that are compatible with traditional cinema cameras also work on X9, providing flexible lens options.
Whether you’re using manual or autofocus lenses, dedicated modules mounted to X9 can achieve wireless lens control and even autofocusing.
O3 Pro Video Transmission Technology adds DFS frequency bands and enables 1080p/60fps video transmission. It supports one transmitter with multiple receivers and can remotely control gimbal, focusing, and camera settings.
The Z-Axis effectively eliminates vertical camera shake and works with visual sensors and ActiveTrack Pro to let you create smooth, stable footage effortlessly.
DJI’s proprietary computer vision, deep learning technology, and the robust computing power of CineCore 3.0 combine in ActiveTrack Pro, which enables cinema-standard tracking shots, even in just one take. This technology also allows subjects to be tracked from longer distances and features composition adjustment with continuous autofocusing to keep subjects in focus during tracking shots.
DJI Ronin 4D makes manual focusing easier than ever. The visualized focus assistance technology displays the ranging points on the main and remote monitors in a simplified top-down view. This provides an innovative and intuitive LiDAR Waveform to locate focus points quickly and allow focus adjustments with extreme precision. Even operators with little or no experience can become adept at manual focusing quickly.
Mirror Control Mode gives the High-Bright Remote Monitor an identical control interface as the main monitor, including all advanced features such as source clip playback, and camera and gimbal settings, which can now be remotely adjusted even when Ronin 4D is mounted to expansion platforms such as a jib, cable cam, or vehicle mount.
Ronin 4D has a built-in CFexpress Type-B slot along with a USB 3.1 Type-C expansion port for recording directly to an external media disk. It also offers internal recording of the highest-specification videos with DJI PROSSD 1TB, which can be directly connected to a computer via USB-C cable to access media without a traditional SSD reader. These storage choices provide solutions for high cost-effectiveness and to those who want an unrivaled combination of performance and stability.
Ronin 4D is equipped with built-in microphones that support dual-channel 24-bit audio recording. It also provides 3.5mm jacks and XLR microphone ports for more audio input solutions.
Just like Ronin 2 and Inspire 2, DJI Ronin 4D uses TB50 Intelligent Batteries, which offer up to 2.5 hours of shooting time and can be fully charged in just 1.5 hours. Auto-heating is also supported to enable reliable functionality in severely cold conditions.
Ronin 4D uses the all-new DJI O3 Pro Video Transmission technology, which offers a 20,000-foot transmission range that would be unimaginable on traditional solutions. In addition to 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, it supports the DFS frequency band and an AES 256-bit encryption algorithm that can output a 1080p/60fps FHD feed to multiple remote monitors simultaneously with significantly enhanced security, stability, and anti-interference capability.
