Description
All-in-One Camera Gimbal System
This 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
X9 focus motor
Leica M lens mount
3-channel FIZ lens control unit
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 Apple ProRes Raw, 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
Please see the current lens compatibility list here
Captures Raw, 4:22 HQ, and H.264
Captures 8K full-frame raw at rates up to 75 fps in full-frame 2.39:1
Captures up to 5.5K raw at rates up to 60 fps in Super 35 17:9
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
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
Designed to counter footsteps from inexperienced gimbal shooters
Works equally well with a single grip, dual grips, shoulder supported, or tripod-mounted
Sport mode is available with the touch of a button, accommodating faster-paced action
Use in standard, underslung, jib, and crane setups
