Proving once again it’s a tech company that just happens to be a world leader in drones, DJI today released its professional-grade DJI Ronin 4D cinema camera, featuring (among a slew of other things) a full-frame Zenmuse X9 gimbal camera, 4-axis stabilization system, and LiDAR focusing system.
Make no mistake about it: This Ronin 4D camera was created with the needs of cinema pros and the hardest of hard-core amateur film makers in mind. The Zenmuse X9 gimbal camera – available in 8K and 6K version – is intended to deliver top-drawer quality footage, supporting up to 6K/60fps and 4K/120fps respectively. The system includes the commonly used H.264 codec, along with Apple ProRes and ProRes RAW alternatives to provide greater flexibility in editing. The Ronin is equipped with an interchangeable lens mount allowing connection to DJI, Leica M, and other gear for greater flexibility in shooting with lenses of differing tech and era specs.
