Designed for Pros - Cinematic Imaging System
Processing Power
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 4444 XQ, ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 LT, and H.264 video. It also supports up to 8K/75fps and 4K/120fps video recording, delivering multiple options for professional-level creation.
Resolution
DCI 8K (8192 x4320)/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.
High ISO
Zenmuse X9 supports dual native ISO. X9-8K defaults to EI 320/1600. With Dynamic Range Expansion on, X9-8K can support EI 800/4000, while X9-6K supports EI 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.
Color Science
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.
Built-In 9-Stop ND Filters
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.
DL Prime Lenses
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.
DL Zoom Lens
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.
With a servo zoom motor built in, the lens delivers smooth and reliable motorized zoom without the need for mounting external focus motor or lens calibration. Gimbal re-balancing is also not required after zoom. Thanks to its precise back focus control and native system calibration, autofocus, manual focus, and automated manual focus (AMF) are all more outstandingly accurate.
Interchangeable Mounts
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.
Wireless Control
Whether you're using manual or autofocus lenses, dedicated modules mounted to X9 can achieve wireless lens control and even autofocusing.
Steady in Every Way - 4-Axis Stabilization System
4-Axis Stabilization
DJI Ronin 4D adds a Z-Axis to the traditional 3-axis gimbal, which effectively decreases vertical camera shake and offers stabilization performance on par with a dolly. The four axes work together with a downward ToF sensor, forward and downward dual-visual sensors, a built-in IMU and barometer, and an advanced new algorithm to bring the overall stabilization to a whole new level.
When this compact body combines with its powerful stabilization capabilities, complex camera movements that used to be very costly to achieve are now easily attainable.
Integrated Gimbal Camera
Ronin 4D integrates the imaging and stabilization systems while keeping only the sensor and necessary optical components in the gimbal camera. The tilt axis of the gimbal uses dual symmetric motors, whereas both the pan axis and the roll axis are designed with an additional stiffness buffer.
With a highly integrated body and robust motor force, Ronin 4D offers the best stabilizing and tracking performance of the entire Ronin Series so far at an incredibly light weight. Additionally, it can switch to Sport mode with the press of a button, allowing the gimbal to react quickly to the cinematographer's movements.
It also supports wireless gimbal control and versatile mounting configurations for varied shooting scenarios.
ActiveTrack Pro
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.
Potential Unleashed Detachable Design
Extendable Solution
The new extendable solution, Ronin 4D Flex, reduces the handheld weight down to 1.8 kg, which is only around 34% of the original weight, making it superbly useful for cinematographers who require long-duration shooting, especially in mobile scenarios like recording documentaries, interviews, or events. The lightweight Ronin 4D Flex delivers unique advantages both in terms of its portability and high performance to meet cinematic-grade needs for high-quality imagery.
The 2m gimbal camera extension cable enables unprecedented flexibility of camera positions, allowing for through-shots and movements in narrow spaces like car interiors. It also allows the X9 gimbal camera to be used as an ultra-small cinematic-grade remote head. Even in complex spaces, tracking shots can be done easily in one take, providing opportunities for more creativity.
The extension system adopts an ultra-thin coaxial cable, supporting lossless transmission of up to 8K high-speed signals captured by the camera sensor and also complete transmission of control and monitoring signals. The cable also ensures endurance and flexibility when bending in different scenarios.
Ronin 4D Flex is natively compatible with Ronin 4D's Hand Grips and the Main Monitor, and can act as a lightweight, compact-but-powerful solo operating system, providing cinematographers with a whole set of solutions, including 8K cinematic imaging, 3-axis stabilization, LiDAR focusing, and professional monitoring and control. This delivers a convenient and efficient creative experience unparalleled in the industry today. Switching between Flex and the integrated configuration on set is fast and no tools are required for this transition, providing greater versatility.
Extended Lens Compatibility
For static shots, Ronin 4D Flex can mount the standard Pan Axis Quick-Lock with accessories to push the limits of payload and carry telephoto lenses like FE 70-200 mm F2.8 GM and FE 200-600 mm F5.6-6.3 G. With certain third-party accessories and focus motors, lens options can be further expanded to include Zeiss SP, Cooke Anamorphic/i, and other cinema zoom and anamorphic lenses.
