Dimensions

Product Pro�le

DJI Ronin 4D is a ground-based cinematography system, which combines a cinema camera, four-

axes gimbal, LiDAR focusing, and wireless transmission in one. The system consists of an Zenmuse X9

gimbal and camera, LiDAR range nder, Z-axis, main body, left and right hand grips, high-bright main

monitor, top handle, and battery system.

The X9 gimbal and camera is available in both X9-8K and X9-6K. Both provide three-axis stabilization and

support internal recording of Apple ProRes RAW*, Apple ProRes 422 HQ, and H.264 video. Although the

camera comes with a standard DL mount, it can also be interchanged with other lens mounts such as the

DJI M mount and the third-party E mount. The camera can control the aperture and focus of the DL lens**

as well as both manual and auto focus on a manual lens when used with the X9 Focus Motor and LiDAR

range nder.

The LiDAR range finder uses LiDAR waveform to quickly locate focus points and allows precise focus

adjustments, making auto and manual focusing easier and providing automated manual focus that is

convenient, exible, and accurate.

Additionally, the Z-axis effectively decreases vertical shake in the camera and offers a stabilization

performance on par with a dolly. The four axes work together with the downward ToF sensors, forward and

downward dual-visual sensor, and a built-in IMU and barometer to provide overall stabilization.

The main body and the left and right hand grips provide a wide range of function buttons, making it easier

than ever for one person to control shooting, focusing, and camera settings.

Features and settings are easy to access and a wide range of shooting requirements can be fullled thanks

to the high-bright main monitor. The monitor comes with a 5.5-inch, 1,000-nit touchscreen, boasts a user

friendly UI and a variety of buttons, and can be attached to multiple positons on Ronin 4D.

Using the TB50 Intelligent Battery, Ronin 4D is able to provide an operating time of up to 150 minutes***.

In addition, Ronin 4D supports an HDMI 1080p/60fps output, internal microphone and 3.5mm stereo

audio input, and is compatible with various accessories such as the DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor,

DJI Master Wheels, and DJI Force Pro.

* DJI Ronin 4D will no longer support Apple ProRes RAW internal recording from February 16, 2022.

** Visit the o�cial DJI website https://www.dji.com/ronin-4d/lens to check compatible lenses.

*** Measured in an environment of 26° C (77° F) with a fully charged TB50 battery, the gimbal balanced, the

equipment in a level and stationary state, the Z-axis disabled, and while continuously recording in ProRes

RAW. Operating time is reduced when Ronin 4D is in motion or the Z-axis is enabled.
