I followed the advice in your completely practical and not click bait thumbnail. I sold my home, car, clothes and even my gold teeth. Now I’m ready to marry this DJI camera and spend our lives together since it’s “all I need”. Thanks so much!! 😊
Great video! Image quality is ridiculous with this camera I also love that it essentially balance is itself on a tripod setup. It is definitely the ultimate all in one package for the price point. I have had my 4d for over 2 years and I have all the possible accessories. I think my favorite things on this camera are 1. Dynamic range 2. Transmission system 3. 3 channel follow focus 4. Gps module for car mounting 5. 4d flex pan axis lock for heavier lenses 6. Dual handles 7. Pro res raw and 4444xq (6k version) 8. Lens mount options 9. Blackmagic style easy menu system. 10. The price for everything all together is cheap and does not feel cluttered with an all in one ecosystem. This camera has changed a lot of how I shoot film and I am always excited to use it and even more excited to see what comes next for this system.
BRO my DREAM camera! The Ronin 4d. Wanted it since it's dropped and they keep making new upgrades for it. God will deliver when the time is right. I don't know how it'll come but I'm going to keep praying.
I'll tell you exactly how it'll come Work for it brotherb God does not give things. He gives you opportunities to get things when you work. He delivers if you ask for strength. He doesn't give it to you.He puts you in situations where you Earn it when you ask for prosperity. He allows you the ability to meet people who could change your life.But you still have to go up and talk to them
It is definitely heavy, but I think it compares to the size/weight of a C300/C500 with V-Mount or an FX9. I always use it with an Easyrig and can operate all day without any issues (it's about 1/3 of the weight of my other camera system I am using right now, so feels like a feather in comparison - haha)
for lightweight you need like an fx3 and an rs-- without the pro on the end. That said, my RS3 Pro with komodo and 11-20 tokina cine is beefy as well. with the 4d, you have better points of contact and is easier to use with an easy rig of sorts. It's niche but the weight shouldn't deter you if you fit that market. only downside with a smaller rig is like he said, lots of cables and different batteries. Add a v mount or gold mount to eliminate this and it bulks up quick.
@@CurrenSheldon an FX9 on a shoulder will give a better shot for filming people vs an easy rig which tends to film from lower angles looking upwards. In this industry there seems to be a lot of filming being done at waist height. Just my thoughts.👍
You can use the 4d flex and have the remote head at your fingertips. Chuck the 4D 6K brain in the backpack. Cheap to buy, and no weight on your forearms. Sony Rialto KILLER! 😢
Thanks for creating this video, Curren Sheldon❤ Your video is exceptionally detailed and provides valuable information. Thanks once again! Wishing your "Documentary Cinematic Interview Course" a large subscription base.
Totally agree. If DJI ever does decide to compete more directly in the cinema camera or mirrorless space, I would be very scared if I was Canon, Sony, Nikon, and the rest. I hope they do. But, they have also carved out a very successful drone, gimbal, 4D, Osmo Pocket niche for themselves, so maybe don't have any reason to. Seems to be working for them - ha.
It’s hard to make such a big switch especially if the majority of your clients request either Sony or Red. Brand recognition goes a long way in terms of working for clients, but having ONE ecosystem is definitely ideal. I’d do this if I was a solo creator making videos for myself OR starting all over again. Great video explaining everything!
True - You have to often go with what the client desires. But it is also your job as Director of Photography to show why a certain piece of equipment will be the best tool for the job. And that's what I did for a feature doc because I really believe it IS the best tool for this particular job. I've done other films (mockumentary, gritty verite), where I would not have chosen the 4D. I do hope they make a no gimbal version that still plays well in the incredible ecosystem they've created. Thanks for watching!
The clients will have to get used to new tech. I suspect if you pitch and show up with this monster, no one will complain. Guaranteed. I am saving to get it and discard everything else.
@@CurrenSheldon when I started using Blackmagic cameras, I only needed to show the clients once and they didn't complain. This is an often overemphasized worry. This is an even easier sell to any client in my view. From design to the output.
The Ronin 4D is actually the most versatile camera on the market. It’s just ugly as sin and the Ronin brand isn’t that popular in the cinema camera world.
Thanks for your video. Great to see and well made! I'm using my 8k version for 8 months now and I'm loving it. My Canon C300iii is getting dusty...😅 I'm pairing the 4D with my DZOfilm Vespid lenses. It's right there on the limit of what the gimbal and the 4th axis can hold, but it works great. I wish they made the gimbal and 4th axis just a little bit bigger so I can use other lenses as well. And a version without gimbal for long lenses would be appreciated as well since the quality of the picture is amazing. And I agree with you on the weight. If you're used to bigger camera's the 4D's weight is really not an issue. I also do use it with an EasyRig though. Anyway, thanks again for your video. 👍🏻
My Canon C300 III got sold 😅(C70 is sticking around though!). I also LOVE the vespids. That would be a great pairing. Pretty amazing the 4D can handle them with a PL/EF mount as they're not the lightest set out there. I'd love both a more robust version for some anamorphics and a smaller, more nimble version for a good b-cam. Listening DJI?!
"And a version without gimbal for long lenses would be appreciated as well since the quality of the picture is amazing." - this can be achieved by pairing the 4D Flex Unit with Tilta's cage for that. Then you can mount even big lenses without any problem as they are supported by the rod system of the cage.
If you’re running a pro rig, you’ll most likely be powering from a mount so knocking down the batteries isn’t that enticing. It’s a cool concept but ronin 4d mk ii will most likely be the move. But beyond that, I’m not a huge fan of the color science on it, it can be cleaned up in post but it drags out my correction process. I also don’t want a fully gardened ecosystem because I want to be part of bigger crews and need compatible gear
Are you using the 6k or 8k version? I do feel the 8k version was a pretty big leap in terms of color and IQ. But everything else makes sense - systems and gears depend on the ecosystem you want to be a part of. Ronin 4D works perfectly for me and the feature films I'm shooting, but can definitely see how it would be a weird outlier on some jobs.
I'm so sold on this camera! I know there's always cons to any system but everything on this is so well thought through. I love how they integrated operations in this camera. I'm curious how it handles vertical video? Do functions adjust? I know some people would rather crop in a vertical format so they dont flip the camera but I personally feel more intention if I shoot with the camera vertical when the end project calls for it.
@@tylervelasquez5639 I think it wouldn’t work if you tried to turn the camera vertically. Though I guess you could lock the gimbal and turn them to shoot vertically…
Got an Fx3 and Komodo. Honestly, I'm done with the Red. What you said in the beginning was spot on. It gets in the way, and slows down the workflow. This 4D always looked good, but you broke it down like a G thank you I love all my Dji stuff, may as well get their cine rig. I have their Focus pro, their RS3 Pro, The Mavic 3 the pocket 3, the mic 2s, and the action 4.... Jesus... GAS.... How much weight can the gimbal gold while still doing its job? I really like my Remus' but I heard the payload on these gimbals isn't that much and PL lenses will give you problems
I believe it's listed at 1kg, but I've seen tons of videos of people using the Atlas Mercury on it without much issues. I have used the Remus and they work great! You just need the counterweight from DJI. I have mostly been using the Cooke SP3s and those are incredible. Though, the Panasonic f1.8 prime set or any of the new lightweight f1.4s from Sony or Sigma would be a great, more affordable kit.
I have one, I want to replace my talking head camera with another, but so costly. The menu and ways you use and control this camera make everything else feel miserable. Of course the versatility is amazing as well, I have the cable, extra hand grips with my remote monitor, almost everything, it's all so easy. I wish they made a cheaper gimbal-less version to have as well.
I had to go through a Sony FX6 menu as an interview B-Cam and almost threw it out the window just trying to change some simple settings. DJI's menus are so straightforward and intuitive, it makes all the other manufacturers (except Black Magic) feel like 1997 computers. And YES, come on FX6-sized Ronin 1D with no gimbal but all the other functionality! I need a workhorse handheld/tripod/b-cam.
@@CurrenSheldon Sony finally make their control app not crap and it has a good menu for the fx6 to use. Don't even bother with the normal fx6 menu anymore.
Agreed - the first version of this camera is so solid, it will be interesting to see what they can pull off with a second version. I'd guess there would be a different (smaller, lighter) iteration to come first. But we'll see!
One thing you didn't comment on which I am always the most curious about is lens weight compatibility. The only thing that always keeps me from getting this is wanting really nice zoom lenses for quick moments that I cant recapture and don't have time for a lens change. The gimble can only handle so much weight. It can handle my nisi Athenas but I don't think it will handle my samyang 35 -150.
Yes it has a bout a 1kg limit, but has some restrictions on length as well. Not a lot of great zooms for it and DJI really needs to bring out a companion to their 17-28mm T3 with that functionality. Something like a 28-75mm T3 would be a huge boost for doc filmmaking. I shoot with primes A LOT these days, so there are plenty that work just fine and I haven't thought about it too much.
I still think this is the perfect camera short of not offering XLR inputs and WEIGHT. 10 lb may not seem like a lot, but man that's gonna wreak havoc on your back at night. Give me this package at about half that weight and I'll pick it up.
@@deansherwood I know about that. However, I have not heard glowing reviews. No one says its good and that they have probs getting in contact with DJI. The weight though is the real probl in my opinion.
I replied to another comment about weight, but my thoughts: "It is definitely heavy, but I think it compares to the size/weight of a C300/C500 with V-Mount or an FX9. I always use it with an Easyrig and can operate all day without any issues (it's about 1/3 of the weight of my other camera system I am using right now, so feels like a feather in comparison - haha)"
@@CurrenSheldon bad news for me. Good news for the people that own them 😁 Eventually the price will go down though, I have a long breath with these things 👍🏻
Thanks for this video man... Really great quality. I've been thinking about this camera for over 6 months now! Mainly because I do not have a super big budget, otherwise I would probably already have gotten it. There are some pretty sweet deals going on right now and it seems dumb not to get one now almost... The only thing I'm thinking is that there might be a new version coming out in September following some DJI leaks(?). But even if a smaller version comes out, it would probably not come near the specs of the 8K. I also kind of want to get a heavier camera, even though it's a bit scary, that you always have to carry the weight of the gimbal, cause I also love handheld shooting. My last thought is about noise... I've seen such different experiences regarding low light and noise, that I am very confused. I feel like a lot of people do not know how to properly expose on this camera(?) and end up with super noisy footage, whether it is h.264, Pro Res HQ or RAW (which is noisier anyways). Some people even said that some units have a noise problem and others don't... But can that really be the case? You see, I still have a lot of questions haha, but it was great to see your video pop up in my feed this morning! Apart from a few things it still seems like this camera fits all my needs at the moment and would spare me buying a bunch of other things. Two other questions I would have: 1. are you able to use waveforms/focus peaking in all resolutions? I heard some people say that once you hot the record button those functions are gone..? 2. How is your experience using this purely handheld? As I said not always using the gimbal is something that I want to do and I am wondering if the drawbacks with this compared to an FX6 let's say are bearable. Thanks again for your effort and great review, any input is appreciated! ~ Phill
If you love handheld, probably not the camera for you. handheld and sticks can do so much for composition and gimbals can get played out. As far as something better coming out, this camera still checks lots of boxes (and I'm talking about the 6k version). What is infront of you camera is what matters more now a days than what camera you have. These create beautiful images and do well in "low light" but you have to exposure properly and know it's limitations of course. It's a heavier camera (really not too heavy) so it should feel solid for some "handheld-ish" shots. That said, like buying a RED komodo, once you get your accessories it'll add up quick. My 6k I'm like 11k in. Same with my Komodos, accessories add up! Also DJI kind of forces you to get their SSD cards and batteries. vmount/goldmount and cfast only options would be better for the prosumer.
@@buddyfx7026 thanks so much for your reply! I agree with what you are saying and that’s why the 8k deal is pretty good right now. I am actually a big gimbal fan, doing lots of moving shots, action etc. which is one of the reasons I am interested in this camera but obviously you don’t want every shot to look like it was done on a gimbal, so I’m just looking for ways to make both work. Still seems like the pros outweigh the cons here…
@@PhillGraaf Lots of great points by @buddyfx7026 and I'll echo a couple. Definitely not a camera for the handheld look. Get a C300 III for that. With that said, I've seen a lot of people use the DJI Flex with a cage and still have the great functionality and usability of the Ronin 4D. Noise - I think most of the complaints have been on people not quite understanding a raw workflow. There is NO noise reduction in ProRes Raw at all, so you have to apply it in post. I have mostly used ProRes 422HQ and always shoot at the native ISO of 320 or 1600 and have had zero issues with noise. Focus peaking always stays on for me, but there may be a couple of settings I haven't shot yet. But I have done most of them (8k HQ, ProRes Raw, 4k HQ, 4k 120, 4k 60). The waveform also sticks around when you're recording.
I wouldn't necessarily say "It's all you need". Many factors in filmmaking to consider. I operate Steadicam Aero 30 with a Canon R5C for Anamorphic projects, Ronin 4D shoots spherical Full frame 17:9, no options for Anamorphic at all depsite being released back in 2021. But it does help for tight spaces where the Steadicam is too big of a rig. Some codecs are still limited in the 8K sensor as well, with weight limitations on certain zoom lenses. It's still a beast, but I'm sticking with my current gear until DJI bring some more firmware updates to the sensor and more lens compatibility.
Yes, the lack of anamorphic aspect ratios is a bummer, though the only lenses it could take right now are 1.5x anamorphics anyway. Which isn't too, too bad on a 16:9 sensor, in terms of image needed to crop.
Awesome video - love your content! As an Oscar-nominated documentary maker, have you thought about using your clout to stop your government from its plans to unfairly sanction Chinese companies like DJI?
I'm going to make a controversial commente here... the small segment you showed of your doc King Coal, is the best looking image of all this video... What's the story with the C70? For sure and underated camera...
Not controversial at all - I have used the C70 for three years and it's an incredible camera. I think it may be the most underrated camera ever released - not sure why exactly, but it is definitely leaps and bounds better in image quality and usability than other cameras that seem to sell wayyyy better (FX3 and FX6 specifically). But it came out at a time when all everyone wanted was FULL FRAME!, so that probably hurt it - along with not having any good Super35 RF lenses to go with it.
@@CurrenSheldon Makes sense.. also the hype and marketing that Sony is known for... anyhow, will have to watch that King Coal, just saw the trailer and the footage looks beautiful. Congratulations.
@@brunoshoes864 True - Sony is the best in the business when it comes to pushing their products. And thank you! I have the link to the film in the description so feel free to check it out on Amazon or Apple - it just broadcast on POV/PBS and is now available for VOD.
sir l have one more qn sir in utube or in other apps when we scroll then sir is their not actual movement of images because I learned sir that there is no movement as screen is refreshing and generating frame with time
Thanks but why is the lens system on these cameras so rarely discussed? It looks like a fixed lens system (which is a bit off putting tbh) but are there other lens mount options? I'd like to know more.
Yep you can change the lens mount, so you have a pretty wide selection: E-Mount, L-Mount, DL-Mount, PL-Mount, and then can adapt EF Mount to any of the mirrorless mounts. When I rented it before I used the Panasonic f1.8 prime series and those were PERFECT. But I think the Sony f1.4 series would be great, the Sigma f2 and f1.4 primes, or even quite a few cinema lenses (I am using the Cooke SP3s with it for the feature doc I am shooting - 🤩). It's definitely a prime-lens system at this point, thought the DJI 17-28 is T3 lens is pretty great - I just never shoot that wide. DJI really does need to get a 28-75mm T3 lens out that is the same size, weight, and functionality as the wide angle.
Maybe the next iteration will be up to spec but this camera is not ready to be on set. It's bells and whistles would be cool if the camera would actually camera.
The camera actually cameras trust me. It’s also been on plenty of sets. Most recently civil war and F1 movie. Bells and whistles aside the image is stellar. Take it from me when I saw this camera I just dismissed it as it looks ridiculous but once this sales guy put in my hands I felt like a kid playing a video game for the first time. Pure magic and easy to learn if you got the money for it. I have had mine for 2 years and I use it almost every day.
Really nice review and incredible piece of equipment, thank you. Do you know if the Ronin 4D would be suitable for occasional virtual production setup?
Thanks for watching! And that's a good question - I would assume it would work just fine and you can basically have a remote head with the 7" monitor so that could be handy.
I rented it a couple times for some smaller commercial gigs, but bought it for a feature doc that is going to shoot for 50-60 days, so can pay it off over time. I MIGHT get a backup 8k head to have on hand, just in case - but so far haven't had any issues. Maybe it would be more worthwhile to get a backup body, since that 4th axis is probably the only part that could cause issues. Though I haven't heard a single report of that breaking.
@@CurrenSheldon Wow. I admit: I watched a bunch of your video here, but not all of it. Do you say that your. bought the thing? That's really compelling.
As incredible as this system is (and it is really impressive), my biggest issue and concern in proprietary systems. I'm always worried about something failing unexpectedly, forgetting something or something simply breaking. Having a system that honestly isn't really that readily available if you need something is something I can't really get on board with.
That's a solid point and something I've thought about. Obviously, things breaking or not working happens with every brand (I've had both Black Magic and Red cameras brick on me at bad times), but there are definitely quite a few more points of failure on a system like this. If anyone but DJI made it, I would be wary. But their products (many of them complicated flying machines) have always been rock solid for me.
From what I've seen, the L-Mount works much better than the E-Mount for AF and general reliability, so I'd go with some Panasonic or Sigma lenses. Panasonics f1.8 prime series (18, 24, 35, 50, and 85mm) are all the exact same size and weight, so are a perfect match for a gimbal device like the Ronin 4D. They also have a 28-200mm that is around the same size I'd LOVE to try on this camera - as well as a 100mm f2.8 macro that is the same size/weight as well. If you wanted something faster, all of the Sigma f1.4 primes are within the weight limit (20, 24, 35, 50, and 85mm). Or the Sigma Contemporary F2 lenses, which I LOVE the look and feel of.
I did get the XLR + Timecode + SDI module to solve the second issue. But yes, not really a camera for long lenses, but I shoot mostly on primes between 24mm - 100mm, so fits into that workflow pretty easily.
Maybe it’s been asked, but what are we doing for ND on this rig? Are people using matte boxes, or screw on adapters, or what? I didn’t notice any internal
It has NINE stops of internal ND. How they managed that in such a small/tight space, I have no idea, but it is pretty incredible. By comparison, the electronic variable ND of something like the Sony FX6 only has 7 stops, which I find is often not enough. Canon has a bit more with 10-stops, but 9 stops seems to be plenty in most cases. Maaaaaybe in a very bright day with a f1.4 lens you would need a stop or two more, but can't complain in this package.
It would be nice to have the V-Mount option, but I usually only like V-Mounts to use D-Taps to power all of my accessories. But the battery does that here (monitor, follow focus, transmission), so I don't mind use the DJI battery. Plus the TB55 lasts for a LONG time and their 4-bay charger is WAY smaller than a 4-bay V-Mount charger.
@@CurrenSheldon I totally agree! If you have an inspire 3 it would be a great fit and just havin the ronin 4d. However I would love to add this to my gear and V MOUNTS are industry standard so it’s already in my gear bag. Also when traveling a TB55 is not possible with 176 wh.
I woudl wait untill dji comes out with an actual MIRRORLESS CAMERA ,(which they will announce soon) i dont need all the gimbally stuff , just give me a tripod
@@CurrenSheldon the rumor mill is that certain RUclipsrs already have this mirrorless body DJI camera but can't speak on it due to embargo reasons, but they've managed to create an actual mirrorless body camera just without the gimbal, It seems like DJI was already planning to do this especially when they acquired hasselblad
Just wanted to focus on the usability aspect of the camera and how DJI's ecosystem greatly simplifies your life, but the IQ of the 8k is truly incredible. Probably my favorite I've used - I'd love to do some side-by-side tests against the Alexa Mini, C70, and some mirrorless cams. Let me know what you'd like to see and I'll see what I can do.
I know this shouldn't matter but I can't get over how rediculously stupid it looks. It's kind of like the Segway. Incredibily fun to ride but good luck geting a date.
@@CurrenSheldon sir l have one more qn sir in utube or in other apps when we scroll then sir is their not actual movement of images because I learned sir that there is no movement as screen is refreshing and generating frame with time
Good question - I'd have to look it up or ask DJI directly. I've only ever used it with one feed, but I know systems like the Hollyland Pyro can send to quite a few, so would be strange if the DJI couldn't do the same.
I KNOW. I WANT. As of right now the only anamorphic lenses that are small enough to use on the 4D are 1.5x lenses, which work decently enough with a 16/17:9 sensor. It would have to be a much stronger gimbal to get 2x lenses on there to even make use of a 3:2 or 4:3 sensor.
Did they market/tout this as a lightweight solution? I didn't go into it thinking it needed to be or was going to be lightweight - it's taking the place of a cinema cameara + gimbal + 4th axis arm and vest - comparatively WAY lighter. but I always knew I was going to need an easyrig to operate for extended periods.
@@CurrenSheldon I can see you current reasoning, however at the end of the day, I believe most would want the lightest weight possible, set up These sets ups are way to cumbersome
I've shot quite a few no/low budget docs and films, so definitely different tools for those. Though, I use the gear rentals for paid gigs to buy what I'd love to use for my other low-budget projects.
If you watch the video, it's actually the opposite - I'm a minimalist at heart and the Ronin 4D allows you to eliminate many want-to-buy items. But, if it's not for you, no worries at all!

We have the 6k and love it….buying the 8k in a week.
I went to the DJI store the other day to check it out, and I can tell you this is an incredibly heavy camera for handheld shooting.
It is definitely heavy, but I think it compares to the size/weight of a C300/C500 with V-Mount or an FX9. I always use it with an Easyrig and can operate all day without any issues (it's about 1/3 of the weight of my other camera system I am using right now, so feels like a feather in comparison - haha)
I wish I had a DJI store near me,
for lightweight you need like an fx3 and an rs-- without the pro on the end. That said, my RS3 Pro with komodo and 11-20 tokina cine is beefy as well. with the 4d, you have better points of contact and is easier to use with an easy rig of sorts. It's niche but the weight shouldn't deter you if you fit that market. only downside with a smaller rig is like he said, lots of cables and different batteries. Add a v mount or gold mount to eliminate this and it bulks up quick.

@@CurrenSheldon when I started using Blackmagic cameras, I only needed to show the clients once and they didn't complain. This is an often overemphasized worry. This is an even easier sell to any client in my view. From design to the output.
The Ronin 4D is actually the most versatile camera on the market. It’s just ugly as sin and the Ronin brand isn’t that popular in the cinema camera world.
Haha it’s not the coolest looking camera once the head pops up. Otherwise I think it’s pretty sleek.
“Grab a couple of mics.” Hilarious. I taught he is talking about cinematography. How can we take people like that seriously???
Yeah I totally agree how much this camera and the DJI ecosystem simplifies your hardware setup. Great Review from a Pro, thank you very much!
Thanks for your video. Great to see and well made!
I'm using my 8k version for 8 months now and I'm loving it. My Canon C300iii is getting dusty...😅
I'm pairing the 4D with my DZOfilm Vespid lenses. It's right there on the limit of what the gimbal and the 4th axis can hold, but it works great.
I wish they made the gimbal and 4th axis just a little bit bigger so I can use other lenses as well. And a version without gimbal for long lenses would be appreciated as well since the quality of the picture is amazing.
And I agree with you on the weight. If you're used to bigger camera's the 4D's weight is really not an issue. I also do use it with an EasyRig though.
Anyway, thanks again for your video. 👍🏻
My Canon C300 III got sold 😅(C70 is sticking around though!). I also LOVE the vespids. That would be a great pairing. Pretty amazing the 4D can handle them with a PL/EF mount as they're not the lightest set out there. I'd love both a more robust version for some anamorphics and a smaller, more nimble version for a good b-cam. Listening DJI?!
"And a version without gimbal for long lenses would be appreciated as well since the quality of the picture is amazing." - this can be achieved by pairing the 4D Flex Unit with Tilta's cage for that. Then you can mount even big lenses without any problem as they are supported by the rod system of the cage.
This actually nice option for Steady Cam replacement.
Exactly - compared to that it's crazy lightweight and easy to use.
It's great for ANY replacement. Handheld, crane, steadicam, dolly, shoulder cam, anything.
@@raredreamfootage wait, crane? this isn't going to get you crane shots... unless you're talking about detaching and attaching to a drone?
If you’re running a pro rig, you’ll most likely be powering from a mount so knocking down the batteries isn’t that enticing. It’s a cool concept but ronin 4d mk ii will most likely be the move. But beyond that, I’m not a huge fan of the color science on it, it can be cleaned up in post but it drags out my correction process. I also don’t want a fully gardened ecosystem because I want to be part of bigger crews and need compatible gear
Are you using the 6k or 8k version? I do feel the 8k version was a pretty big leap in terms of color and IQ. But everything else makes sense - systems and gears depend on the ecosystem you want to be a part of. Ronin 4D works perfectly for me and the feature films I'm shooting, but can definitely see how it would be a weird outlier on some jobs.
Def on my "some day" list! Love this camera
It's a great camera, but it's the ecosystem I love even more.
@@CurrenSheldon Totally agree! The ecosystem holds significant importance for Documentary Cinematic Interviews.
I have only ever used a fx6, but really looking at the Ronin now.
how is this a free video on RUclips 🤯Thanks Curren for your insight!
I'm so sold on this camera! I know there's always cons to any system but everything on this is so well thought through. I love how they integrated operations in this camera. I'm curious how it handles vertical video? Do functions adjust? I know some people would rather crop in a vertical format so they dont flip the camera but I personally feel more intention if I shoot with the camera vertical when the end project calls for it.
@@tylervelasquez5639 I think it wouldn’t work if you tried to turn the camera vertically. Though I guess you could lock the gimbal and turn them to shoot vertically…
Got an Fx3 and Komodo. Honestly, I'm done with the Red. What you said in the beginning was spot on. It gets in the way, and slows down the workflow. This 4D always looked good, but you broke it down like a G
thank you
I love all my Dji stuff, may as well get their cine rig. I have their Focus pro, their RS3 Pro, The Mavic 3 the pocket 3, the mic 2s, and the action 4....
Jesus... GAS....
How much weight can the gimbal gold while still doing its job? I really like my Remus' but I heard the payload on these gimbals isn't that much and PL lenses will give you problems
I believe it's listed at 1kg, but I've seen tons of videos of people using the Atlas Mercury on it without much issues. I have used the Remus and they work great! You just need the counterweight from DJI. I have mostly been using the Cooke SP3s and those are incredible. Though, the Panasonic f1.8 prime set or any of the new lightweight f1.4s from Sony or Sigma would be a great, more affordable kit.
This is my dream Camera indeed! Great video sir.
Thanks for watching! And yes, it's a great system and camera.
Finally. This is the future. So sick of depreciating camera gear and 20 minute battery life
Once I got it I never looked back ❤
I might be the same way...
I have one, I want to replace my talking head camera with another, but so costly. The menu and ways you use and control this camera make everything else feel miserable. Of course the versatility is amazing as well, I have the cable, extra hand grips with my remote monitor, almost everything, it's all so easy. I wish they made a cheaper gimbal-less version to have as well.
I had to go through a Sony FX6 menu as an interview B-Cam and almost threw it out the window just trying to change some simple settings. DJI's menus are so straightforward and intuitive, it makes all the other manufacturers (except Black Magic) feel like 1997 computers. And YES, come on FX6-sized Ronin 1D with no gimbal but all the other functionality! I need a workhorse handheld/tripod/b-cam.
@@CurrenSheldon Sony finally make their control app not crap and it has a good menu for the fx6 to use. Don't even bother with the normal fx6 menu anymore.
Great Video! But, I can't find the 4 Bay battery charger online or anywhere (not even a mention of it). PLEASE, LET ME KOW WHERE!
I think you might need to buy it used. I found mine at Adorama for like $50
Mine charges 2 of the 4 at a time, then the other 2
I'm looking forward to the 2nd generation of this camera & its accompanying accessories with great expectation
Agreed - the first version of this camera is so solid, it will be interesting to see what they can pull off with a second version. I'd guess there would be a different (smaller, lighter) iteration to come first. But we'll see!
One thing you didn't comment on which I am always the most curious about is lens weight compatibility. The only thing that always keeps me from getting this is wanting really nice zoom lenses for quick moments that I cant recapture and don't have time for a lens change. The gimble can only handle so much weight. It can handle my nisi Athenas but I don't think it will handle my samyang 35 -150.
Yes it has a bout a 1kg limit, but has some restrictions on length as well. Not a lot of great zooms for it and DJI really needs to bring out a companion to their 17-28mm T3 with that functionality. Something like a 28-75mm T3 would be a huge boost for doc filmmaking. I shoot with primes A LOT these days, so there are plenty that work just fine and I haven't thought about it too much.
That tripod move at the start of the video was cool, could i ask what tripod that was please?
That was the Flowtech! It’s amazing. A cheaper option is the YC Onion Pineta Peak tripod.
I still think this is the perfect camera short of not offering XLR inputs and WEIGHT. 10 lb may not seem like a lot, but man that's gonna wreak havoc on your back at night. Give me this package at about half that weight and I'll pick it up.
There is an XLR add on
@@deansherwood I know about that. However, I have not heard glowing reviews. No one says its good and that they have probs getting in contact with DJI. The weight though is the real probl in my opinion.
I replied to another comment about weight, but my thoughts: "It is definitely heavy, but I think it compares to the size/weight of a C300/C500 with V-Mount or an FX9. I always use it with an Easyrig and can operate all day without any issues (it's about 1/3 of the weight of my other camera system I am using right now, so feels like a feather in comparison - haha)"
Definitely a dream setup. Can't wait for a generational upgrade so the price drops on second hand units 🤭
True! Even the 6k version seems to be holding its value really well.
@@CurrenSheldon bad news for me. Good news for the people that own them 😁 Eventually the price will go down though, I have a long breath with these things 👍🏻
Thanks for this video man... Really great quality.
I've been thinking about this camera for over 6 months now! Mainly because I do not have a super big budget, otherwise I would probably already have gotten it.
There are some pretty sweet deals going on right now and it seems dumb not to get one now almost... The only thing I'm thinking is that there might be a new version coming out in September following some DJI leaks(?). But even if a smaller version comes out, it would probably not come near the specs of the 8K. I also kind of want to get a heavier camera, even though it's a bit scary, that you always have to carry the weight of the gimbal, cause I also love handheld shooting.
My last thought is about noise... I've seen such different experiences regarding low light and noise, that I am very confused. I feel like a lot of people do not know how to properly expose on this camera(?) and end up with super noisy footage, whether it is h.264, Pro Res HQ or RAW (which is noisier anyways). Some people even said that some units have a noise problem and others don't... But can that really be the case?
You see, I still have a lot of questions haha, but it was great to see your video pop up in my feed this morning! Apart from a few things it still seems like this camera fits all my needs at the moment and would spare me buying a bunch of other things.
Two other questions I would have:
1. are you able to use waveforms/focus peaking in all resolutions? I heard some people say that once you hot the record button those functions are gone..?
2. How is your experience using this purely handheld? As I said not always using the gimbal is something that I want to do and I am wondering if the drawbacks with this compared to an FX6 let's say are bearable.
Thanks again for your effort and great review, any input is appreciated!

If you love handheld, probably not the camera for you. handheld and sticks can do so much for composition and gimbals can get played out. As far as something better coming out, this camera still checks lots of boxes (and I'm talking about the 6k version). What is infront of you camera is what matters more now a days than what camera you have. These create beautiful images and do well in "low light" but you have to exposure properly and know it's limitations of course. It's a heavier camera (really not too heavy) so it should feel solid for some "handheld-ish" shots. That said, like buying a RED komodo, once you get your accessories it'll add up quick. My 6k I'm like 11k in. Same with my Komodos, accessories add up! Also DJI kind of forces you to get their SSD cards and batteries. vmount/goldmount and cfast only options would be better for the prosumer.
@@buddyfx7026 thanks so much for your reply! I agree with what you are saying and that’s why the 8k deal is pretty good right now.
I am actually a big gimbal fan, doing lots of moving shots, action etc. which is one of the reasons I am interested in this camera but obviously you don’t want every shot to look like it was done on a gimbal, so I’m just looking for ways to make both work. Still seems like the pros outweigh the cons here…
@@PhillGraaf Lots of great points by @buddyfx7026 and I'll echo a couple. Definitely not a camera for the handheld look. Get a C300 III for that. With that said, I've seen a lot of people use the DJI Flex with a cage and still have the great functionality and usability of the Ronin 4D.
Noise - I think most of the complaints have been on people not quite understanding a raw workflow. There is NO noise reduction in ProRes Raw at all, so you have to apply it in post. I have mostly used ProRes 422HQ and always shoot at the native ISO of 320 or 1600 and have had zero issues with noise.
Focus peaking always stays on for me, but there may be a couple of settings I haven't shot yet. But I have done most of them (8k HQ, ProRes Raw, 4k HQ, 4k 120, 4k 60). The waveform also sticks around when you're recording.
@@CurrenSheldon Very much appreciate your reply Curren, thanks so much. Big help right there and gives me more clarity as well.
Hell naw...Remember those picture tube TVs combined with VCRs? Its kinda like that. If something breaks, it leaves you with one working piece.
Haha - I guess if any camera breaks, you're in trouble. DJI has been solid for me for years, so not too concerned. Time will tell.
I wouldn't necessarily say "It's all you need". Many factors in filmmaking to consider. I operate Steadicam Aero 30 with a Canon R5C for Anamorphic projects, Ronin 4D shoots spherical Full frame 17:9, no options for Anamorphic at all depsite being released back in 2021. But it does help for tight spaces where the Steadicam is too big of a rig. Some codecs are still limited in the 8K sensor as well, with weight limitations on certain zoom lenses. It's still a beast, but I'm sticking with my current gear until DJI bring some more firmware updates to the sensor and more lens compatibility.
Yes, the lack of anamorphic aspect ratios is a bummer, though the only lenses it could take right now are 1.5x anamorphics anyway. Which isn't too, too bad on a 16:9 sensor, in terms of image needed to crop.
I need one
Wow, you’ve saved me some money in the future. Thank you for this indepth dive of the camera.
@@henrysrandomadventures you got it! Thanks for watching
wonderful video, what about workflow when you shoot in Log ? Thanks for your answer.

Great video!! Would love to shoot on one soon!
Thanks for watching! Once you shoot with one, you may never go back... beware.
@@CurrenSheldon that’s the only thing holding me back from shooting on it! Haha
Awesome video - love your content! As an Oscar-nominated documentary maker, have you thought about using your clout to stop your government from its plans to unfairly sanction Chinese companies like DJI?
I'm going to make a controversial commente here... the small segment you showed of your doc King Coal, is the best looking image of all this video... What's the story with the C70? For sure and underated camera...
Not controversial at all - I have used the C70 for three years and it's an incredible camera. I think it may be the most underrated camera ever released - not sure why exactly, but it is definitely leaps and bounds better in image quality and usability than other cameras that seem to sell wayyyy better (FX3 and FX6 specifically). But it came out at a time when all everyone wanted was FULL FRAME!, so that probably hurt it - along with not having any good Super35 RF lenses to go with it.
@@CurrenSheldon Makes sense.. also the hype and marketing that Sony is known for... anyhow, will have to watch that King Coal, just saw the trailer and the footage looks beautiful. Congratulations.
@@brunoshoes864 True - Sony is the best in the business when it comes to pushing their products. And thank you! I have the link to the film in the description so feel free to check it out on Amazon or Apple - it just broadcast on POV/PBS and is now available for VOD.
sir l have one more qn sir in utube or in other apps when we scroll then sir is their not actual movement of images because I learned sir that there is no movement as screen is refreshing and generating frame with time
Great information 🙌🙏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Could also use built in wireless microphone receivers.
I actually haven't tried if it can directly connect to the DJI Mic 2 (I have the Rode). Do you know if it is possible?
@@CurrenSheldon you can, yes
can you hot swap the Ronin 4D?
Thanks but why is the lens system on these cameras so rarely discussed? It looks like a fixed lens system (which is a bit off putting tbh) but are there other lens mount options? I'd like to know more.
Yep you can change the lens mount, so you have a pretty wide selection: E-Mount, L-Mount, DL-Mount, PL-Mount, and then can adapt EF Mount to any of the mirrorless mounts. When I rented it before I used the Panasonic f1.8 prime series and those were PERFECT. But I think the Sony f1.4 series would be great, the Sigma f2 and f1.4 primes, or even quite a few cinema lenses (I am using the Cooke SP3s with it for the feature doc I am shooting - 🤩). It's definitely a prime-lens system at this point, thought the DJI 17-28 is T3 lens is pretty great - I just never shoot that wide. DJI really does need to get a 28-75mm T3 lens out that is the same size, weight, and functionality as the wide angle.
@@CurrenSheldon Good info. Thanks! 🙂
1:37 they actually used most of it for the handheld sequences - about 67% the rest was Venice 2.
Not sure the exact breakdown, but what's most important is that nobody can tell when the film switches from Venice 2 to the Ronin 4D.
You need XLR mic inputs.
I have the XLR and timecode module, so I do have two XLRs!
Maybe the next iteration will be up to spec but this camera is not ready to be on set. It's bells and whistles would be cool if the camera would actually camera.
The camera actually cameras trust me. It’s also been on plenty of sets. Most recently civil war and F1 movie. Bells and whistles aside the image is stellar. Take it from me when I saw this camera I just dismissed it as it looks ridiculous but once this sales guy put in my hands I felt like a kid playing a video game for the first time. Pure magic and easy to learn if you got the money for it. I have had mine for 2 years and I use it almost every day.
Really nice review and incredible piece of equipment, thank you. Do you know if the Ronin 4D would be suitable for occasional virtual production setup?
Thanks for watching! And that's a good question - I would assume it would work just fine and you can basically have a remote head with the 7" monitor so that could be handy.
Interesting. So did you buy the 4D or rent it? If rent, about how much per week, and did they have backups available? thanks!
I rented it a couple times for some smaller commercial gigs, but bought it for a feature doc that is going to shoot for 50-60 days, so can pay it off over time. I MIGHT get a backup 8k head to have on hand, just in case - but so far haven't had any issues. Maybe it would be more worthwhile to get a backup body, since that 4th axis is probably the only part that could cause issues. Though I haven't heard a single report of that breaking.
@@CurrenSheldon Wow. I admit: I watched a bunch of your video here, but not all of it. Do you say that your. bought the thing? That's really compelling.
@@CurrenSheldon isn't it smarter to get 2 6ks, they are almost the price of 1 8k, and its not like 8k format is really even viewed by most end users?
As incredible as this system is (and it is really impressive), my biggest issue and concern in proprietary systems. I'm always worried about something failing unexpectedly, forgetting something or something simply breaking. Having a system that honestly isn't really that readily available if you need something is something I can't really get on board with.
That's a solid point and something I've thought about. Obviously, things breaking or not working happens with every brand (I've had both Black Magic and Red cameras brick on me at bad times), but there are definitely quite a few more points of failure on a system like this. If anyone but DJI made it, I would be wary. But their products (many of them complicated flying machines) have always been rock solid for me.
What would you recommend for lenses with auto-focus for this camera?
From what I've seen, the L-Mount works much better than the E-Mount for AF and general reliability, so I'd go with some Panasonic or Sigma lenses. Panasonics f1.8 prime series (18, 24, 35, 50, and 85mm) are all the exact same size and weight, so are a perfect match for a gimbal device like the Ronin 4D. They also have a 28-200mm that is around the same size I'd LOVE to try on this camera - as well as a 100mm f2.8 macro that is the same size/weight as well. If you wanted something faster, all of the Sigma f1.4 primes are within the weight limit (20, 24, 35, 50, and 85mm). Or the Sigma Contemporary F2 lenses, which I LOVE the look and feel of.
I use long lenses so no, the gimbal is a moving part, meaning its inherently more fragile than most cameras. Also no XLR inputs.,
I did get the XLR + Timecode + SDI module to solve the second issue. But yes, not really a camera for long lenses, but I shoot mostly on primes between 24mm - 100mm, so fits into that workflow pretty easily.
Maybe it’s been asked, but what are we doing for ND on this rig? Are people using matte boxes, or screw on adapters, or what? I didn’t notice any internal
It has NINE stops of internal ND. How they managed that in such a small/tight space, I have no idea, but it is pretty incredible. By comparison, the electronic variable ND of something like the Sony FX6 only has 7 stops, which I find is often not enough. Canon has a bit more with 10-stops, but 9 stops seems to be plenty in most cases. Maaaaaybe in a very bright day with a f1.4 lens you would need a stop or two more, but can't complain in this package.
@@CurrenSheldon Wow! That really makes this a great system, definitely worth considering. Thanks for the reply
I need built in ND filters and 24-600mm lens.
THE DREAM. That lens better be f2 throughout the range and weigh 500 grams.
21st century camera
Totally.
Wished they made an adapter to mount V mounts. then i would consider adding this to my gear.
It would be nice to have the V-Mount option, but I usually only like V-Mounts to use D-Taps to power all of my accessories. But the battery does that here (monitor, follow focus, transmission), so I don't mind use the DJI battery. Plus the TB55 lasts for a LONG time and their 4-bay charger is WAY smaller than a 4-bay V-Mount charger.
@@CurrenSheldon I totally agree! If you have an inspire 3 it would be a great fit and just havin the ronin 4d. However I would love to add this to my gear and V MOUNTS are industry standard so it’s already in my gear bag. Also when traveling a TB55 is not possible with 176 wh.

anything about image quality?
Just wanted to focus on the usability aspect of the camera and how DJI's ecosystem greatly simplifies your life, but the IQ of the 8k is truly incredible. Probably my favorite I've used - I'd love to do some side-by-side tests against the Alexa Mini, C70, and some mirrorless cams. Let me know what you'd like to see and I'll see what I can do.
Yes please do side by side, is it similar to a RED komodo image or more like an fx3 or an Alexa?

What about audio?
I have the XLR + Timecode module that attaches to the back. Really nice add-on.
Nice! Dude, I’m sold. Are you gonna make another video with audio in focus?
7:45 how many feeds can you have with the module?
Good question - I'd have to look it up or ask DJI directly. I've only ever used it with one feed, but I know systems like the Hollyland Pyro can send to quite a few, so would be strange if the DJI couldn't do the same.
The ronin4d is missing anamorphic support, though. Shame.
I KNOW. I WANT. As of right now the only anamorphic lenses that are small enough to use on the 4D are 1.5x lenses, which work decently enough with a 16/17:9 sensor. It would have to be a much stronger gimbal to get 2x lenses on there to even make use of a 3:2 or 4:3 sensor.
@@CurrenSheldon right. They need to make another gimbal rig. Wonder if the 8k has open gate.
It's too heavy defeating the lightweight purpose
Did they market/tout this as a lightweight solution? I didn't go into it thinking it needed to be or was going to be lightweight - it's taking the place of a cinema cameara + gimbal + 4th axis arm and vest - comparatively WAY lighter. but I always knew I was going to need an easyrig to operate for extended periods.
@@CurrenSheldon I can see you current reasoning, however at the end of the day, I believe most would want the lightest weight possible, set up
These sets ups are way to cumbersome
7000$? Say again ? Someone has again forgotten the nano/no budget filmmakers (indie short movies with 0 return on the costs).
