Viltrox Raze AF Raze AF f/1.8 Full-Frame 6 Review

A full set of six f/1.8 primes for the DJI Ronin 4D. It's a convenient but risky package. Optical performance is mediocre, build quality is a concern, and it's useless on any other camera. Only for desperate Ronin 4D users.

The Viltrox Raze AF 6-Lens Set is a big swing. It's a bundle of six fast f/1.8 primes, from 16mm to 85mm, designed specifically for the DJI Ronin 4D camera. The pitch is simple: get a whole cine lens kit in one box, with electronic autofocus and a lightweight design, all for less than buying six high-end primes individually.

But here's the thing. Our data shows this set is a niche product with some serious compromises. It's locked to the Ronin 4D's DL mount, the optical quality scores are just okay, and that single customer review screams quality control problems. It's a tempting package on paper, but you need to know what you're getting into.

Performance is a mixed bag. The f/1.8 aperture across the board is the star, landing in the 75th percentile. That means you get good light gathering and background blur potential. But the optical quality score sits in the 35th percentile, which is below average. The autofocus is middle-of-the-road at the 45th percentile, and there's no stabilization. For a set aimed at video, the lack of stabilization and just-okay optics are real trade-offs for that fast aperture.

At $3,699, the value proposition hinges entirely on your needs. If you're a Ronin 4D shooter who desperately needs a full set of fast primes right now and can't afford to piece together six better lenses, this kit gets you shooting. But for that price, the below-average optical scores, lack of stabilization, and scary quality control report make it a hard sell. You're paying for convenience and coverage, not top-tier performance.

This set exists in its own weird little world. It's not competing with single lenses like the Meike 55mm or Nikon Z 35mm f/1.8 S; those are sharper, better-built options for hybrid shooters. It's also not a true cine lens set like from DZOFilm or Sirui. Its real competition is the cost and hassle of building your own Ronin 4D lens kit. Compared to that, it's a shortcut, but one that might lead to frustration if our data and that user review are any indication.

Skip this if you own any camera other than a DJI Ronin 4D. Also skip it if you need sharp, clinically perfect optics, or if you can't afford the downtime of dealing with a defective lens. For hybrid shooters who value versatility, a good 24-70mm zoom is a far smarter buy.

Only buy this if you are a dedicated DJI Ronin 4D filmmaker who needs a complete set of lightweight, autofocus primes immediately and is willing to accept potential quality control risks and optical compromises. For everyone else—especially hybrid shooters, people who need stabilization, or anyone who values proven reliability—this is an easy skip.
