The DJI Ronin 4D 8K isn’t just another cinema camera—it’s a revolution in filmmaking technology. Blending powerful 8K imaging, advanced stabilization, intelligent autofocus, and modular design, this all-in-one system empowers creators to shoot cinematic masterpieces with unmatched agility. Whether you’re a solo operator or part of a professional crew, the Ronin 4D 8K delivers Hollywood-level production power in a portable package.

What is the DJI Ronin 4D 8K?

At its core, the DJI Ronin 4D 8K is a 4-axis cinema camera that integrates a full-frame Zenmuse X9-8K sensor, LiDAR focusing system, and modular gimbal into one sleek rig. It captures up to 8K60 video in ProRes RAW or 8K75 in ProRes 422 HQ, giving filmmakers the flexibility and quality demanded by modern cinema, VFX workflows, and high-end broadcasting.

This combo kit comes with DJI’s DL PZ 17-28mm T3.0 ASPH lens, a RAW license key, and a DJI PROSSD 1TB drive, making it ready for serious productions straight out of the box.

Advanced Image Quality with ProRes RAW and Dual Native ISO

The Ronin 4D 8K stands out with Apple ProRes RAW support up to 8K60 (17:9) and 8K75 (2.39:1), delivering cinema-grade color depth and dynamic range. With dual native ISO (320/1600 and 800/4000) and up to 14.7 stops of dynamic range, it handles low-light scenes and highlight retention with finesse.

Whether you’re shooting in ProRes RAW, ProRes 422 HQ, or H.264 10-bit, the image output is sharp, cinematic, and broadcast-ready.

Built-in 4-Axis Stabilization for Smooth Cinematic Motion

Traditional 3-axis gimbals can’t always eliminate vertical shake—especially during walking or dolly shots. That’s where DJI’s 4th Z-axis comes in. It actively compensates for vertical camera movement using a mix of downward ToF sensors, dual-vision cameras, IMU, and a barometer. The result? Butter-smooth motion, even for inexperienced gimbal operators.

LiDAR Focusing: Precision in Any Light

The LiDAR focus system offers a massive leap in autofocus reliability, using up to 43,200 ranging points across a 33-foot range. It visualizes depth in real-time, offering incredibly responsive and accurate focus pulls—even in low-light conditions.

Thanks to Automated Manual Focus (AMF) and DJI’s intuitive handgrip design, cinematographers can seamlessly switch between auto and manual control, retaining artistic control without sacrificing speed.

Modular, Flexible, and Ready for Any Setup

The Ronin 4D 8K is as comfortable in a solo operator’s hands as it is mounted to a crane or dolly. With interchangeable lens mounts (DJI DL, Sony E, Leica M, and ARRI PL), it’s compatible with a wide range of cinema glass. The included DL PZ 17-28mm lens is a lightweight, sharp, and fast T3.0 zoom that’s perfect for run-and-gun or documentary work.

Want even more flexibility? Add-ons like the 7” touchscreen monitor, wireless video transmitter, and expansion plates for SDI, XLR, and timecode make it scalable for any production.

Built for Today’s Creator

The Ronin 4D 8K includes a high-bright 5.5” touchscreen, ND filters (ND.03 to ND2.7), integrated stereo mics, and a robust power system using DJI’s TB50 batteries. It’s clear DJI designed this with creators in mind—from indie filmmakers and documentarians to commercial DPs.

Thanks to ActiveTrack Pro, autofocus remains locked on even with complex subject movement, making it ideal for sports, fashion, and dynamic narrative content.

Conclusion: The Future Is Rolling

With its unmatched stabilization, intuitive focus, raw 8K capability, and professional-grade workflow compatibility, the DJI Ronin 4D 8K isn’t just a new camera—it’s a paradigm shift for filmmakers. Whether you’re creating for the big screen or the streaming age, the Ronin 4D ensures your vision is captured with cinematic excellence.

The future of filmmaking has arrived—and it rolls on four axes.
