DJI Ronin 4D Ronin 4D 4-Axis Cinema
The integrated Zenmuse X9-6K full-frame sensor and 4-axis stabilization system capture 6K60 ProRes 422 HQ footage with a unique Z-axis arm that actively eliminates vertical bounce. Its lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum-magnesium alloy modular design packs LiDAR focusing and a 1000-nit monitor into a 1450g body suited for solo operation. This camera is best for independent filmmakers and event videographers who need a ready-to-shoot, stabilized cinema rig without a complex build-out.
