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 X9-6K camera and the three-axis gimbal stabilization. Constructed from lightweight carbon fiber and an aluminum/magnesium alloy, this system is ideal for independent content creators, indie filmmakers, and event videographers.

The full-frame capture at rates up to 6K60 in both ProRes HQ and 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.

This combo includes the main Zenmuse X9-6K full-frame video camera and a 3-axis gimbal, plus an array of modular monitor, focusing, and control components. Kit items include a DL lens mount, a LiDAR range finder, one TB50 battery, a charging hub, and left and right control handgrips.

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

• 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

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
