DJI Ronin 4D

The pinnacle of professional cinematography.

Cinematic Imaging

The Ronin 4D is equipped with advanced imaging hardware designed to deliver an out of this world imaging experience for professional cinematographers.

4-Axis Gimbal

The Ronin 4D utilizes a highly advanced 4-Axis gimbals stabilization system, improving image quality and diversifying the use cases of the Ronin 4D.

Detachable Design

The X9 camera module can be detached from the Ronin 4D for capturing tight shots.

8K Ready

Pair the Ronin 4D body with the all-might DJI Zenmuse X9-8K camera to capture next world imagery.

Integrated Design

Crafted with carbon fiber and aluminum magnesium, DJI Ronin 4D features a distinctive design. Its solid body seamlessly integrates imaging, stabilization, focusing systems, wireless transmission, and control. This streamlines setup and enhances shooting speed.

Designed for Professionals

In every aspect from construction to UI, the Ronin 4D is designed for pro cinematographers.

High 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 an 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.

High Dynamic Range

With 14+ stops of dynamic range, Zenmuse X9 delivers natural transitions of highlights and shadows in challenging lighting conditions like backlit scenes and direct sunlight. These traditionally tough scenes are now easily captured with confidence.

DJI Cinema Color Science (DCCS) 

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 ND Filters

X9 features 9-stop high-quality ND filters (ND 2 to ND 512, or ND 0.3 to ND 2.7) integrated with an internal motorized system for swift switching. These filters are crafted to enhance the color science of Ronin 4D.

4-Axis Gimbal

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.

Integrated Gimbal Camera

The imaging and stabilization systems are integrated in Ronin 4D while only keeping the sensor and necessary optical components in the gimbal camera. The tilt axis uses dual symmetric motors, and both the pan and roll axis have an additional stiffness buffer.

Super Versatile Filming

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.

ActiveTrack Pro

DJI’s cutting-edge computer vision, deep learning tech, and robust CineCore 3.0 in ActiveTrack Pro deliver cinema-grade tracking shots in one take. It tracks subjects from longer distances and adjusts composition with continuous autofocusing.

Detachable Design

Expand your shooting options with the extremely versatile and modular camera body.

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.

LiDAR Focusing System

DJI Ronin 4D simplifies manual focusing. The focus assistance tech shows ranging points on both monitors, using a LiDAR Waveform for quick focus adjustments with precision. Novices can master manual focusing fast.

Integrated Construction

The 4D Video Transmitter can be directly mounted onto Ronin 4D and powered by the battery of the main body. With a built-in wireless video receiver, the High-Bright Remote Monitor has a 7-inch, 1,500-nit high-bright, wide colour gamut touchscreen display that can output both HDMI and SDI signals through the expansion module. Its compact and lightweight body provides optimum portability and efficient setup so users can start shooting immediately.

Storage

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.
