DJI Ronin 4D: The Future, All in One

Welcome to a new era of cinematography. DJI Ronin 4D is our most groundbreaking all-in-one filmmaking solution, integrating the industry’s most advanced technologies into a single system. With its unified yet modular design, Ronin 4D empowers solo creators while offering limitless flexibility for multi-operator productions.

Crafted from carbon fiber and aluminum-magnesium alloy, the durable body of Ronin 4D combines imaging, stabilization, focusing, wireless transmission, and control into one seamless platform. This eliminates complex rigging and lengthy setup time, allowing you to start shooting faster. For the first time, a fully integrated 8K cinema camera system is now within reach, redefining what cinematic excellence means.

1. Cinema-Grade Imaging System: Power and Performance

Ronin 4D is equipped with the Zenmuse X9, DJI’s flagship full-frame cinema camera, powered by the newest image processing platform, CineCore 3.0.

CineCore 3.0 Processing Platform

This proprietary chipset delivers an advanced processing architecture with extremely high computational performance. CineCore 3.0 enables internal recording in Apple ProRes RAW, ProRes 4444 XQ, ProRes 422 HQ, and H.264.

8K/75fps Resolution

The Zenmuse X9-8K supports full-frame recording up to 8K/75fps and 4K/120fps. Shooting in 8K opens up entirely new creative possibilities, including flexible reframing, cropping, and post-stabilization.

Dual-Native ISO

Zenmuse X9 supports dual-native ISO for exceptional low-light performance:

• X9-8K: Native EI 320/1600. With Dynamic Range Expansion enabled, EI 800/4000 is supported.

• X9-6K: Native EI 800/5000.
  This allows clean, detailed footage even in low-light environments such as night cityscapes or candlelit scenes.

14+ Stops of Dynamic Range

Zenmuse X9 preserves natural highlight and shadow roll-off in complex lighting conditions such as backlight or direct sunlight.

DJI Cinema Color Science (DCCS)

DCCS provides rich, cinematic color reproduction and broad creative flexibility. X9 also supports the industry-standard ACES workflow for seamless color matching with other cinema cameras.

Built-In 9-Stop Physical ND

X9 features an integrated 9-stop motorized ND filter system (ND 2 to ND 512, or ND 0.3 to ND 2.7) designed to match Ronin 4D’s color science and allow rapid exposure transitions.

Interchangeable Lens Mounts

X9 supports DJI’s proprietary DL mount, as well as third-party mounts including Leica L, Leica M, Sony E, and ARRI PL.

2. 4-Axis Stabilization: Beyond Smooth

DJI Ronin 4D introduces a Z-axis to traditional 3-axis gimbals, delivering dolly-level stabilization in a handheld system.

Active Z-Axis

The Z-axis effectively eliminates vertical shake, making it ideal for running shots, stairs, or low-angle tracking.

Advanced Sensor System

The 4-axis platform works with downward ToF sensors, dual forward/downward visual sensors, an IMU, and a barometer, powered by a next-generation stabilization algorithm.

ActiveTrack Pro

Powered by proprietary computer vision, deep learning, and CineCore 3.0 processing, ActiveTrack Pro enables cinematic subject tracking in a single take, with long-range tracking and continuous autofocus with framing control.

3. Ronin 4D Flex: Creative Freedom Unlocked

Ronin 4D Flex is an innovative expansion system that unlocks new levels of mobility and flexibility.

Significant Weight Reduction

This solution allows the X9 gimbal-camera to detach from the main body, reducing handheld weight to just 1.8 kg (around 34% of the full system). Ideal for long handheld shoots, documentaries, interviews, and tight environments.

2-Meter Extension Cable

A 2-meter ultra-thin coaxial cable supports high-speed 8K signal transmission with zero loss, enabling camera placement in extremely confined spaces such as car interiors or use as a compact remote head.

Full Compatibility

Ronin 4D Flex works seamlessly with the original hand grips and main monitor, enabling a lightweight yet fully capable solo-operator rig.

4. LiDAR Focusing System: Precision Like Never Before

Ronin 4D revolutionizes manual focusing, even on non-AF lenses.

LiDAR Waveform

This intuitive focusing assistant visualizes distance points in a top-down layout on both the main and remote monitors, making focus transitions fast and accurate.

43,200-Point LiDAR Range Finder

The LiDAR unit generates up to 43,200 ranging points within a 10-meter detection range. It focuses faster without relying on texture or light contrast — ideal for low-light environments.

Autofocus on Manual Lenses

With the LiDAR system and focus motor, Ronin 4D enables true autofocus operation on manual cinema lenses.

AMF (Auto-Manual Focus)

AMF delivers the precision of manual focus with the convenience of autofocus. The focus wheel rotates in sync with focus changes, but the operator can override at any time. The right-hand grip features an electromagnetic damping wheel with tactile feedback for real focus control.

5. Wireless Transmission & Control: Beyond Expectations

Ronin 4D features the all-new DJI O3 Pro transmission system, offering a range of up to 20,000 ft (approx. 6 km).

1080p/60fps Transmission

In addition to 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz, it supports DFS bands and AES 256-bit encryption, delivering ultra-low latency 1080p/60fps feeds to multiple remote monitors simultaneously.

Integrated Design

The 4D Video Transmitter mounts directly onto Ronin 4D. The 7-inch 1,500-nit High-Bright Remote Monitor includes a built-in receiver.

Multi-User Production Modes

• Broadcast Mode: Unlimited receivers for large crews

• Control Mode: Dual-monitor coordinated operation

• Mirror Control Mode: Full camera and gimbal control UI on the remote monitor, including playback and settings
