Wow. Have watched every single clip I can find on this camera while trying to decide whether to purchase and I can safely say that outside of just one or two of the technical specs videos, this one is all I would've needed. Thank you for all your time and effort in putting this together!
I also have watched every single clip I can find on this camera and I am also not buying it. Though I simply cant afford it at all, lol. And I also dont even know how to shoot.
@@naneri haha! Well I’m actually leaning the other way but I also film stuff professionally - but it’s amazing how some technology is just so interesting that people want to know more!
I really admire how you emphasize the importance of the tools making more production goals possible for smaller crews with tighter budgets. Your cable work is very inspiring, I would love to have you work on a project or two here in the USA so I could see you in action on a narrative film or sports documentary. I think your approach would add positive value to a production.
Not gonna lie. This channel and Caleb's channel (DSLR video shooter) are the only sources that make cameras exciting now. The tests, possibilities being explored, ideas for improving and updating; you guys really show off new filmmaking tech. Other channels feel like cut and paste announcements and honestly, it's getting annoying when I get 10 notifications from 10 RUclipsrs about the same camera and all saying the same thing or showing up in each others' videos. Thanks for truly standing out.
You know the mark of a professional when you see that crew member caring for the preservation of the equipment on set - ie : Covering the entire rig & Cam with a sleeve in bad weather for a car shoot segment. So, so many YT channels I’ve seen go onto salt lakes, rain @ night, dirt roads, snow .. .you name it all rigged to the vehicle & NO cover, stones, debris on the road - all these things can hit the camera & lens & cause damage to gear. I see it all the time & yours is the first instance where I’ve seen someone actually cover the entire rig. 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏼💪🏼🎥🎥 Professional 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏻
Wow .. seriously, I’ve seen almost all the Ronin 4 D breakdown from the RUclips big shots, to help my debate on getting this, and seriously, your breakdown is hands down the best and most thorough. It definitely helped me make my conclusion. In return, I subscribed. Thank you
I'm not willing to buy Ronin 4D or can afford it ;). Already seen reviews you recommended, but yours is on a different level, cause it shows practical use of this camera. You should have already 2.25m subscribers ... the best review of this camera. I cannot imagine better one.
Really liked this video. The D4 is my first cinema grade camera and Ive been shocked at how easy it is to use. I have a s5ii and with these two I feel I have so many options. Looking forward to more videos.
Sorry if im repeating any previous comments.... Tilta have just released a tactical top handle for this with multiple mounting options. This will allow you to mount things like the easyrig eye screw and Tilta hydra kit etc.They have also released a swivel universal baseplate to attach to the Tilta Float arm.
With the big lens it looks kinda silly but you've actually shown me it's feasible to use this as intended but so much more. Phillip Blooms video was great but this video shows its more capable than I first thought! Great video 👍🏾👍🏾
absolutely great video! And the shots you took along with the locations are perfect for what you were trying to explain. Really glad i have found your channel.
Incredbile overview of the 4d system. Worth every minute of my time. I appreciate you for doing this and I have subscribed and will continue to watch what comes next.
It's a very unique system. And I am sure that just by offering a product, DJI will force your favourite camera manufacturer to put out a competing product, so it's a win-win. But I also feel that a lot of people who probably don't need the features will buy it, not have a reference to compare against, and then feel disappointed with DJI.
I have used the Ronin 4D now for a couple of shoots. It is a brilliant system, especially with the flex tool. There are some drawbacks concerning certain issues with frame rate vs. specs and monitoring modes, but overall it is the way of the future. I am looking forward to an improved updated version in the near future hopefully. As far as I hear from my rentals, the thing takes up momentum and gets hired more and more. Once DPs of features have realized, that they can save a hell of a lot of time and money and get much more flexibiltiy, I guess ARRI and RED will be history.
DJI should now focus on making the same focus breathing compensation software than sony and creating some fake virtual bokeh to enhance the high aperture of their own tiny lenses for the ronin 4d that are very practical but suffer from lack of background depth blur.
one point, to use a big lens on this system, you need to get the "flex" kit, to split the gimble and the brain, so you can mount just the gimble to the lens, and use it that way, makes mounting the big lens easy, esp. for Steadicam use, as the brain can act as a battery mount to counterweight the system.
I'm watching this video and I see that you bought the Thanos Pro X rig for your set up. Awesome! I just got my Thanos Pro X and I also noticed you put a glidecam head on the bottom to counter balance it easier like on your DIY version. My Crane 3s rolls to the side when I let go so this would actually solve that!
This is indeed a fantastic tool, however, there is a reason why I will probably never get one for myself: upgradeability, or rather lack of thereof. In 3 years I want to upgrade my sensor, say for an upcoming SPAD sensor, what do I do?
@@BestboyAdam I like it as well, it is a fantastic tool. I just wish they would solve this one flaw, by making sensor and maybe processing engine modular. Although I see how that would be a challange, it would also allow DJI to sell new modules when they come out
finally i got my Ronin 4D based on your video thank you kindly, now for the most important question ? which cine LENS to buy now , i got the an EF and E sony adapters just in case , however ever i could not make out the lens you used in your kit. i like a few lenses but i not certain about the payload . can you point in to a link where you have the lenses you used on the your Ronin4d or perhaps tell me the maximum payload DJI says 1.1 - 1.72 lbs on the SIRUI anamorphic , please advise im really in a sump
Thank you I really appreciate the video I know this video is old but could you please list the products you used like then size and name of the bottom plate, length of the rods and all the parts to use to hold longer lenses. I have a few shoots over the week and would like to use a similar setup thanks
Hey Adam, Thanks for all of the insight. I'm loving my 4D, and as I look to get more dynamic shots I'm realizing that it's the perfect camera for, like you said, pushing the limits. When it comes to the handle, what nato rail clamps do you use? The two square ones that are graphite colored. I can't seem to find them anywhere. Thanks again!

I think you can now include your video in the echelon with Caleb and Phillip.

The best review about Ronin 4d I've seen. Very interesting to see your modification of Falcon.
НА ПУТИ В ГОЛЛИВУД thank you 💪
Thank you for this video. After many DJI 4D videos this has been such a refreshing and interesting video. Thank you!
Best video overall on the DJI Ronin 4D.
The shots at the stadium are mind blowing.
There's a lot of the same old thing on RUclips. You are very different and it's great. Good work bud!!
thank you Scottie, happy to hear that 💪
So many possibilities, DJI should hire you to shoot an advert with this cam. Great work!
Good to see you back Adam! Those adorable kids of yours are growing up fast! Also, 8:46 - you are slowly becoming Batman haha
Anther, is exactly as you say :) the kids are growing and I'm transforming into the Batman. 😀
Adam, you have some of the best film/video production related videos on RUclips.
Really liked this video. The D4 is my first cinema grade camera and Ive been shocked at how easy it is to use. I have a s5ii and with these two I feel I have so many options. Looking forward to more videos.
Hi, great video. Would you be able to share where you got your long lens support from? Thanks for your time. Glenn
Unbelievable value and quality! The Footage at 14:20 is just incredible btw. Subbed and can't wait for more videos from you!

We’ll done! Really appreciate the time you took to make such an informative, honest and entertaining video!!! 👌🏼😉
thank you Enrique 💪
I am so incredibly excited about this camera. Thank you for the review.
Beautifully designed camera, to operate this I have to go to school to operate it. Keep up the good work.
DJI should've sponsored this video, this was awesome!

💪so nice to hear that Steve !!
Wow...another brilliant video again...Hats off
thank you Hafiz
Valuable content. My only hesitation is matching footage with Red cameras. Definitely need to do more test with that. Always educational, thank you.
It has internal ProRes RAW. Matching should be possible.
I'm definitely planning on it. Thank you Dillon 💪
Also, I’d love it if DJI came out with a mini version of the 4D, perhaps using the Mavic 3 camera.
Another masterpiece, and it include everything that we want to know. thanks
My pleasure DigitalFoto💪
BBA you always do the best work. To make me want to buy things!
Thank you Douglas, I would never recommend something that isn't worth it 💪

Always extremely interesting.
Thank you for making these!
thank you Gregor !!
yes yes perfect summary from professional pov, i agree wholly. it should be go to broadcast/low to mid budget doc camera from now on...
exactly Patrick
I love this camera. Hoping to get it next year
💪
Czsec! Great video and thanks for creating it. Would love to see more alternative lens options and how they look on the camera.
Peter, I'll try to make a few more💪

Once again, great content.
Very good video. Amazing attention to detail and quality.
This must have taken forever to shoot and edit together. Amazing job !
Amazing video, thank you for all your insight. What bag are you using here to store the fully-assembled Ronin 4d? At around 7:15 ?
Excellent! 👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
amazing stuffff! thanks for the video!

Have you tried mounting Ziess CP3 lenses with EF mounts?
I just ordered the pl mount for my 4D so I can use my Cp3s. I’m excited to see the results
Actually, when I first saw this camera, I thought about you (because of all the interesting mods you use to show on your channel).
Amazing video man... I'm so in love with this camera lately.
What is your experience with the rolling shutter?
This is indeed a fantastic tool, however, there is a reason why I will probably never get one for myself: upgradeability, or rather lack of thereof. In 3 years I want to upgrade my sensor, say for an upcoming SPAD sensor, what do I do?
You are right, but on the other hand you have so many things in one single tool so I am sure there will be many people who will like it

Can't wait to see this system in a free fall and see if it can focus on the subject at that velocity
