Thank you man!! To be honest, going full time on TH-cam was the best thing for my creativity. My imagination was getting so restless and bottled up with taking on so much client work. I would be on amazing jobs but would be day dreaming of working on TH-cam content. And not just for TH-cam.. but to let myself and my creativity run. TH-cam allows me to do that. I’m just getting started.
I’ve seen this camera in action during a party the image was broadcasted on a big screen the image was amazing the tracking was crazy good!!! The videographer put the camera on the ground and captured some amazing angles !! Image was crazy!!
DJI is absolutely killing it! Can't wait to see what they bring to the market over the next few years. Would LOVE a prosumer gimbal camera between the Ronin 4D and the Pocket 3.
Have had this on my dream list since they first released the 6k version. Like how DJI has integrated so much and made it fairly straight forward to use. Maybe one day. In the market for the black magic camera first.
Honestly, the 4D looks like it's a lot of fun to use. People underestimate sometimes how much of a factor that can be when trying to get creative. I want one now lol.
Well even more so on top of that, how easy it is to use. Multiple times now we have put it into trusted hands who have never used it and they immediately get insane shots
@@kilikdudley Interesting! I've been thinking about that a lot lately... How do you approach clients/productions or bring the 4D into the conversation when you talk to people? I feel like the industry is still so much focussed on Arri/RED etc.
DJI always makes interesting tradition shattering designs. This stuff is only going to trickle down if successful. I had the original OSMO back in the day and now have the OSMO Pocket 3 and it’s 1/5 the size, bigger sensor, and better in every way. Cant wait to see what they do with future Ronin designs.
I'm hoping DJI gives us a mirrorless body with one of these sensors either the eight or the 6K. Combine that with lidar focus in a mirrorless body and I think they got a real winner.
Got the 6k one 2 months ago, rip to my wallet. I hope it will now get the credit it deserves because I played with the idea of buying it since it was first announced and should have done so right away. Cant see myself switching back to any "normal" camera anytime soon.
Yes 14 and 12 bit is only in Pro res raw, sorry I didn’t go into more detail on that! Haha this camera has a lot of details to it, was hard to keep up while shooting and directing and driving and dealing with my dog 😂😂😂😂. I kept wanting to go into more details but figured other people would have video in them. Glad Gerald did a release for it!
@@cammackey Awesome video nonetheless. Shout if ever you want to collaborate on something. We're heavy on the Davinci Resolve content at the moment but are branching into more production related topics in the new year.
If you strip down ronin 4d to bare minimum weight are you able to use on rs4pro for the track function for waypoints on the ronin app? If not why doesn’t ronin 4d have this function and rs4pro does and is there anyway to track for repeatable shots?
How would you compare the image quality between the Ronin 4D and the S5IIX? I own an Ursa G2 and I'd like to invest in a camera for gimbal shots. I wish I could rent these cameras to test them myself, but unfortunately, where I live, that’s not an option, so I have to rely on TH-cam reviews 😅 Btw I love your videos, keep up the great work!
Seems like this camera has found a market. My biggest concern when the original came out was, is this thing too different to be accepted and will support die. Now with the flex unit, 8k camera upgrade it's a very interesting option.
Cam! A few more dumb questions for you: 1. How do you even approach cleaning the 4D with that level of dust and dirt?! 2. In your opinion, can you safely store the 4D with a lightweight lens such as Sirui Saturn on it while in case? I realize this is ultra noob, but I can’t find anything about it 😂🫡
Hey Cam, thanks a lot and once more for your incredible content, always a joy to watch! :D Now I'm torn between upgrading my Komodo OG to X or investing into this... wow..
I don't get the price though, it's 12k, but you can get the 6k version for around 6k euro's. So if you can buy the sensor unit for 4k, it's still a lot cheaper than the complete version.
@@cammackey mainly the costly extra lens. Right now it's cheaper to buy the 6k version and just add the 8k sensor. You will have less of a package though. I would love to see an entry 8k package, 12k is a lot to pay in one time. Around 8k would be more doable, and you can just add the other stuff later on.
Hey buddy as usual awesome awesome video, can you please maybe share how you would color grade this in Davinci Resolve? since Resolve does not support proresRAW, how would you convert it so we can color grade in Resolve? Thank you
Awesome video. For the type of work I do, shooting hotel and resorts, this camera would make a lot of sense. We do so much gimbal work that we always have one camera rigged ready to go on the gimbal. The price is the only thing that puts me off as it’s getting up there with the Komodo x. Something I’d love to test out though
I haven’t used that camera in a while so not sure. But Prbly similar if not better. It’s full frame vs s35. Faster readout. The internal BRAW is pretty amazing tho
Check the link ;) I leave those details out usually cause I never know what’s official till it be official haha. $3599 for the head if you jsut want to upgrade your 6K and $12,838 for the full combo build out.
Wish I could have worked on it more, but already spent a good amount of my own money on it. Trying to learn when to walk away and call a project finish when it comes to TH-cam. Cause if I don’t I’ll go till broke haha
$3500 but the biggest difference for me is; we can get a faster readout with better dynamic range, or can get even more dynamic range with slower readout, better color overall especially skin tones, and better slow mo quality with Downsampled 8K
@@injectionAI hahaha I mean the 6k still looks great for most things. But if you do anything that involves intense color grading or skin tones… I think it’s worth it. For people who don’t really push the color grades and don’t shoot fast pace stuff.. 6K is Gucci
Nice vid! You're always the first and you got the best footage. Like it. I just wish that beautiful voice over's volume was higher. The SFX / music is too loud compared to it. I tried it on phone, tablet and pc, same results.
Thank you!! I actually wish the VO was lower haha. I spent days on the sound design and it was epic. But I couldn’t resist the writing the voice over haha. I might have to show a version without it one day
I actually own a bronco, and I think it’s really funny that you guys chose to create a bronco commercial. Coughing Because of their popularity they’ve never had to create a bronco commercial or at least I’ve never seen one aired on television, or on TH-cam on any other social media media platform. What you created looks great btw.
Oh bro there was a huge campaign for the bronco release. The trailer for it is Prbly my top 3 ads ever. They did like a bunch of short stories around it too
Interesting. It feels like they have a limited write speed to the meida that is restricting 8K/60 in 422. PRRaw is compressed and will fit within the spec.
@@cammackey The quick test would be to record prores at its max resolution and framerate for 60 seconds and then switch to proresraw at the identical settings and see the difference in file sizes.
It's too bad that the Batteries for the Ronin 4D 8K and the Inspire 3 are not interchangeable even though they look nearly identical and the DJI PROSSD 1TB SSD Drive is so slow, It will take an hour just to offload the footage
Good stuff. Interesting times. The complaints about the AF on this camera made me lose interest. That was early on. I'm sure it's gotten better. I see you put fender deletes on the Bronco. They look great. Did that shoot beat up the paint?
I mean it relies on the lidar, even for AF lenses. Compared to other cinema camera, it’s one of the best AF you can get for sure. Specially with manual cinema lenses. And yeah I love the fender deletes! Make it feel a little more classic. No damage to paint! Granted I didn’t check haha. I wanna try to get a wrap soon
Hahahah hey bro I don’t have time to properly learn rn. I haven’t flown that thing in like 7 months. I got the new goggles tho and it makes the setup way easier. But yeah.. I did crash it 😂
@@cammackey Haha, yeah that’s a common dilemma for those getting into fpv via the Avata. The motion controller makes you feel like a pro fpv pilot while crashing due to overconfidence. Using the remote controller and flying manual makes you feel like a noob just getting of the ground let alone landing😂 So I get the steep learning curve. Easier is to learn acro/manual with a tinywhoop. Cheap, small, light and super durable. You can get your first 100 crashes under your belt with little to no costs for repairs, flying in the house.
@@dronemagicnl4986 at that point that’s when I jsut hire people out haha. This was just a fun day with the homies, no FPV in the gang haha. But yeah I just always crash it cause I get too damn low
Just make sure you get a gimbal, wireless monitor and transmitter, wireless focus system, some sort of internal ND, a few more drops of dynamic range, a Tilta float for the z axis stabilization, LiDAR setup for tracking and focusing with cinema lenses, and figure out a way to get them all to seamlessly work together. And then you pretty much have the same thing
@@cammackey hahahaha the gimbal is enough for me, with a powerbank attached with 3M command strips and an variable nd filter, but yes all of that could be useful depending on your workflow! Great video as always!
@@moorememoriesvideo7070 haha gracias! I think that’s the main thing people forget about the 4D is it’s an entire eco system built into one that all works together. It’s like getting a Mac that is designed under roof vs a PC having to be pieced together and figuring out how to get it to all work as one

Great review! I love the ending result of the video, it really look nice and sharp , question,does the blazar lenses fit on the 6k gimbal too?
