DJI has unveiled a new cinema camera that arrives with an in built gimbal, LiDAR support, and can even shoot at up to 8K resolution. Its LiDAR rangefinder sensor would seek to make the camera’s focus “sharper, faster, and more reliable” even during night scenes.
The new cinema camera is the Ronin 4D, with the target audience primarily being professionals. It arrives with robust features that signifies that the Chinese company is diversifying out of just making drones. The Ronin 4D sports a camera called the Zenmuse X9 that has interchangeable lens mounts for the brand’s DL and Leica’s M systems, while also including a whopping nine built in ND filters to control your exposure in the sun.
The 6K model allows for 6K capture at 60fps and 4K at 120fps. On the other handm, the 8K model is capable of 75fps at its max 8K resolution. Notably, the X9 is capable of shooting RAW, 422HQ, or even H.264 formats as well if users are trying to keep file sizes at a minimum. While the brand is known for its drone, DJI has announced that the new X9 camera is built solely for the Ronin 4D.
According to the company, the 6K variant of the Ronin 4D will be available in December while the 8K version will launch sometime “at a later date.” Buying the Ronin 4D also has the user receiving a bunch of other accessories, including a wireless monitoring system and a focus motor that also allows users to adapt manual focus lenses to use the LiDAR system. The 6K version costs 7,199 US Dollars while the 8K version is set to launch for 11,499 US Dollars.
