DJI Announces the Ronin 4D 6K and 8K Cinema Gimbal Cameras; Live Event with More Info at B&H
DJI adds the Ronin 4D 8K and 6K Cinema Cameras to expand its pro camera line
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- B&H is excited to announce the Ronin 4D, the newest line of professional cameras for the next generation of cinema production from DJI, featuring two all-in-one 4-axis gimbal cameras―the Ronin 4D 8K Cinema Camera and the Ronin 4D 6K Cinema Camera. The Ronin 4D's modular design is made up of a core processing unit and a gimbal camera featuring DJI's flagship Zenmuse X9 sensor and the new DJI CineCore 3.0 image processing system with DCCS (DJI Cinema Color System). The core cameras can be built out with a variety of mix-and-match accessories, depending on one's production needs in the studio or on location.
The compact camera features a built-in gimbal that installs on the arm of the main unit, and it adds a fourth Z-axis to the traditional 3-axis design for additional stability in motion, particularly during dolly movement, to prevent vertical shake. The gimbal provides multiple visual sensors, an IMU (inertia/force sensor), and a barometer to keep the camera rock steady. Its AMF (Automated Manual Focus) technology provides accurate autofocus while also allowing the camera operator to control focus at any time during the automated process.
