The way DJI achieves that vertical stabilization is through utilizing sensors in the front and at the bottom of the Ronin 4D which measure its position in space and the distance to objects and to the ground. That means you can shoot super steady images with this, no matter how you move the camera. And that’s also its key feature – having the Z axis means that the typical vertical shake that is introduced by walking or running is completely evened out. On top of what normal 3-axis gimbals are able to do, the Ronin 4D adds a 4th axis, the Z axis, to the stabilization experience. Now this here really is a league of its own and it would definitely deserve its own name! Key feature: the Z-axis, the 4th dimensionīut now back to the Ronin 4D review – anyway, the “4D” in Ronin 4D is actually quite accurate. DJI used to call their gimbals Ronin, then they kind of dropped the Ronin and called them only RS2 and RSC2, but their Ronins never contained a camera. DJI Ronin 4D – a fitting name or not?īefore talking about the specs of this device – I can’t even just call it “camera” – let me point out that I don’t think the name does it justice.

( Here’s more information on the Zenmuse X7 including a DJI interview, and here’s a full review.)Īnd here we are, it’s 2021, and DJI engineers probably spend years in their cave to come up with the culmination of all these technologies, the Ronin 4D. With my Freefly MoVi M10 on an Easyrig in 2013, shortly after it was released. The one-hand gimbals really became the standard over the last few years, with high-quality cameras shrinking and getting lighter as well.
Turns out, that wasn’t so easy, so we saw many years of advancements in the gimbal field, with DJI and others advancing the technology further and further. When the first handheld gimbals were announced 8 years ago, it was the Freefly MoVi M10 ( here is a test that I did at the time), I asked: can we build this technology into a camera? Image credit: CineD A look back: the gimbal revolution Of course it’s not perfect, but it will shake the industry for sure. It is something completely revolutionary in my eyes – the marriage between a gimbal and a camera that was long overdue. (For our news article on this new device, click here.) But honestly speaking, I find it SO HARD not to get excited about the Ronin 4D from DJI. Yes, this is a review – so it has to be unbiased.
Anyway, we had it for a while, and I was able to test it in depth. DJI just announced the Ronin 4D – a full-frame camera with a built-in gimbal – or is it a gimbal with a built-in 6K/9K camera? With wireless video transmission capabilities and control system and ProRes RAW recording.
