DESCRIPTION
The Ronin 4D from DJI is a cutting-edge all-in-one camera/gimbal solution that is intended for use by independent creators working alone as well as dynamic professional video capture. The Z-axis (vertical) stabilization built into the X9-6K camera and the three-axis gimbal stabilization are referred to as "4D" stabilization. This system is perfect for independent content creators, indie filmmakers, and event videographers because it is made of lightweight carbon fiber and an aluminum/magnesium alloy. The 4D is well-suited as a "B" or second unit camera for larger cine-style productions thanks to its full-frame capture at rates up to 6K60 in Apple ProRes 422 HQ and Ronin's CineCore 3.0 image processing system with ACES workflow support.
All-in-One Camera Gimbal System

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 ProRes 422 HQ and H.264 video
- Industry-standard ACES workflow support provides 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 is 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 X9-6K 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
ProRes 422 HQ and H.264 Capture
- Capture up to 6K60 ProRes 422 HQ video in full-frame 2.39:1
- Capture up to 4K120 ProRes 422 HQ video in Super 35 2.39:1
- Capture up to 2K120 ProRes 422 HQ or H.264 in 17:9 full frame
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
Single User or Crew-Assisted Operation

- 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
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
- Hand grip 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
