  • In this video, I take a look at the DJI Ronin 4D Flex and how it has completely transformed my filmmaking workflow. Full transparency, DJI sent me this unit and allowed me to keep it, but instead of doing a formal review, I wanted to do something more casual and get input from my cinematographer and director friends.

    So as an owner/operator, I love the camera. What I was hoping for with this setup, is the ability to use telephoto lenses easier. That doesn't seem to be the case really because the gimbal must come with the detachment. I really wish they would make something to make telephoto lenses as easy as the short lenses!

    I want one of these. But assuming your getting a 'whole kit' with all the accessories and a reasonable set of lens, your still looking at $50K. Still GREAT value. Its a beast of a camera. But its not a 'starter camera' for new video/cinematographers. This is a great tool for those that can put it to work on the regular. I still want one!

    • @sergiosanchez2012

      $50k?... Why?... The camera with transmiter and all accessories Will cost You around $12k.

    • @chrisklugh
      @chrisklugh Год назад

      @@sergiosanchez2012 $50K was a ball park illustration number. It could easily be more or less.
      What I am referring too is the investment into an 'ecosystem'. Most people look at the price of a camera, and throw most of their budget into that body. But we all know with a bit of experience how many accessories it takes to support a camera to do the jobs we need it to do well.
      Over my years of observing this, I reckon this ecosystem costs approximately 10x the camera body. Lens, lights, memory cards, etc that fill well withing that 'budget class'.
      Example:
      $1K body is going to end up costing about $10K in things in the end.
      $10K body will end up costing about 100K in things in the end.
      The reason being is you don't invest 10's of thousands behind a cheap camera to support it, and you don't cheaply support an expensive camera. There is a sort of ratio that we line up with.
      So when someone says they have $5K and want to buy their first camera, I will suggest they get a decent used camera for around 1K so they have 4K to invest into all the thing they don't know they need. In due time, even they will break their $5K budget with that cheaper camera.

    For commercial work it seems like a value sell for clients where you can charge less, but still not have rent or have in hand all this gear which is low on the billable side, and still charge enough because the quality is there.

    I feel like everyone is trying so hard to sell this product and honestly it’s such a niche product today tomorrow it’s gone don’t think it’s going to be here for long my honest opinion! Don’t get me wrong Dji is so innovative and trust me if it wasn’t for them creating affordable products I would not be so successful in my journey but I really think they should rethink that concept

      All cameras are gone after a couple of years and replaced by something else. If You want something yo last forever a 35mm camera is the only sound investment but is very very Niche and aimed a the very top end.

      Sony copies the system from Arri, and Arri from SI2K. And from the three the Silicón imaging is the Best.
      Problem with Sony is that the rialto cable cost almost twice as much than the complete Ronin4D camera.
