Designed for both solo use by independent creators and dynamic pro video capture, the DJI Ronin 4D X9-8K w/ RAW License is an innovative, all-in-one camera/gimbal solution. Key features include:
Zenmuse X9-8K camera gimbal combo
Built-in ND.03 to ND2.7 filters
Z-Axis Camera/3-Axis gimbal stabilizing
Right focus/control, left pan/tilt grips
What’s Changed? The DJI Ronin 4D X9-8K w/ RAW License provides all of the same capabilities as the DJI Ronin 4D X9-6K w/ RAW License, just with the ability to record in 8K.
4D Stabilization. While a typical gimbal offers 3 degrees of stabilization- pan, tilt, and roll- the DJI Ronin 4D 4-Axis Cinema Camera 6K Combo Kit adds Z-axis vertical stabilization to its built-in camera, ensuring steady footage without the need for any extra stabilizers. Its lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum/magnesium alloy build is ideal for the solo filmmaker/event photographer looking to have as much control as possible in a single package.
Zenmuse X9-6K Camera. The Zenmuse X9 is a full-frame camera that captures 8K footage up to 60 fps in full-frame 2.39:1. It can also record up to 120 fps in 4K Super 35, features 800/5000 dual native ISO with 14 stops of dynamic range, built-in ND.03 to ND2.7 filters, and a LiDAR system that uses up to 43,200 ranging points within a 33’ range.
Apple ProRes 4444 XQ Capable. This Ronin 4D will be shipping with RAW capabilities, but it can also record Apple ProRes 4444 XQ to DJI PROSSDs.
Focus. Speaking of LiDAR, it offers excellent focusing performance in low-light environments and its built-in depth meter allows focus pulling to be viewed graphically. The X9’s autofocus can keep your subject sharp even when motion blur is produced, and ActiveTrack Pro provides continuous autofocus and composition adjustment. Automated Manual Focus (AMF) combines the accuracy of manual focus with the ease of autofocus, and the focus wheel included in the right handgrip allows users to manually focus whenever necessary. When used with manual lenses, you’ll need the Zenmuse X9 Focus Motor.
Control. The aforementioned right handgrip uses its focus wheel to navigate camera menus, adjust exposure, and more, without having to move your hand, while the left handgrip features a joystick for controlling the gimbal’s pan/tilt axes.
Monitor. The built-in 5.5" 1920 × 1080 touchscreen monitor can reach a brightness of 1000 cd/m², so you won’t need a separate system adding more bulk to your setup.
DL Lens Mount. The familiar DL lenses used by other popular DJI products are compatible with the Zenmuse X9 as well, including the carbon fiber 16, 24, 35, and 50mm lenses, all of which, except for the 16mm, are full-frame compatible. The X9 supports interchangeable lens mounts for Sony E and Leica M lenses (not included), making the Ronin 4D compatible with ultra-wide, f/0.95 large-aperture, electronic zoom, macro, and anamorphic cine lenses.
Audio, Storage, and Power. The Ronin 4D features integrated stereo microphones capable of capturing 24-bit audio, but the included 3.5mm and XLR audio inputs support external microphones. The entire Ronin 4D system can be powered by DJI TB50 intelligent batteries, which provides up to 2.5 hours of capture while only taking 1.5 hours to charge, so you can quickly swap to a fresh battery without long breaks. The Ronin 4D-6K does not support RAW recording and records to CFexpress Type B cards. Please note that when using a CFexpress Type B card, you will only be able to record up to 4K. We recommend grabbing the DJI PROSSD 1TB and the DJI PROSSD Mount if you plan to record past 4K.
