Nailed it on the last take. Active track did a great job but it goes to show that manual experience really stands out. When you have an operator like him (and a few takes) you really get the best shot.

[@of1300]

I hope the 4d will be accepted more and more. This thing is ringing in a new era.

[@demonhogo]

Don’t wait, just use it. No need to ask for permission

[@PhillGraaf]

This is awesome. I felt the focus on her face was always a bit off in the dolly shot though... Why was that you reckon?

[@eyespyeyespyeyespy]

most impressed with shane's athleticism

[@andyvan5692]

at 6:47, a correction!, you are not completely taking the electrics out, the 'manual focus' is technically a fly-by-wire system, the manual part is just an encoder which takes your motion and gives electrical commands to the motors on the lens elements.

[@Designguidetv]

always a joy and inspiration to watch the Hurlbuts in action (and team)

[@eprohoda]

Filmmakers,like,splendid , godspeed. 😮

[@speedbird737]

Here in the UK I took delivery of the 8K Ronin 4D combo which includes pror-res raw and the native 17-28mm DJI zoom lens - looking forward to trying some shots you demo'd here with mine! thanks for the video! What backback did you use with the Flex?

[@NickRios]

Love this Ronin 4D series! Thank you guys for doing this.

[@johnvanduren4806]

Another great video, I've learned so much form your channel. Look forward to every new clip. As it is said, "1,2,3, ACTION! Thank You. Big fan in Vegas.

[@JayTheShooter]

Dope video ‼️ Learned a ton

[@DanielScottFilms]

I could have used some butyl tape yesterday for the same purpose ;) Thanks for this knowledge nugget!

[@mikeag]

I was about to to order one to evaluate for production outfit until I found that they require $800/TB proprietary low quality SSD to record raw and will refuse to record to 3rd party SSDs.

[@nebukadnezzar3578]

Sorry, non-native english speaker here. What's the transparent sticky stuff called, Shane uses to put the filter on? "Budal"?

[@filmmakers_academy]

"Butyl" www.hollywoodexpendables.com/product/clear-butyl-65/

[@nebukadnezzar3578]

@@filmmakers_academy Awesome, thanks! :)

[@ezequielgavio7890]

Can I use this ronin 4D to use as a TV studio camera to transmit live and direct or to transmit live and direct as an outdoor cameraman for TV programs?

[@roismartin]

nice ad

[@AkilWari]

Great video and it is an amazing platform and definitely the future. Using the Sony and Sigma lenses with the 4D also adds allot to the look of the 4D. keep up the great content and some video with the tilta hydra and car mounts will also be great.

[@JulesFredericNerestant]

Thumbs up for daughters helping their fathers 👍🏾❤

[@scottievee7467]

Really cool except for that 4D focus. It is rough. Even when dribbling the DOF wasn't shallow and it was off. Slow stuff the image is nice. How often do you need a gimbal camera for slow stuff though. Kinda the point.

[@waimea_danny]

On my 4D screen there is no Shutter Angle option. I've updated all the newest firmware. How did you guys get Shutter Angle on your 4D?

[@andyvan5692]

why put gel on a lens, just use a filter thread adaptor, and something like a Lee filter holder system.

[@mathu_stans]

is it Netflix Approved?

[@malikhaddad9259]

who's changed your display "screen" ?if you only neeed 2person on set "cam op"

[@ClassicCyclingCC]

The DJI Ronin 4D is a technological marvel. I am very impressed. However, I can’t help but wonder; how practical is it really for a solo amateur filmmaker like myself. It seems rather complicated and time consuming to set up (this ain’t no run and gun camera). It looks heavy, bulky and fragile. The accessories are all expensive and add quite a bit to the already high level of complexity of the camera. It seems like it is better suited for filmmakers with some level assistance and not really for someone who has to do everything himself. The day DJI produces a similarly specced camera, but smaller and lighter, as well as easier to use, I probably will buy it. For the time being, I shall pass.

[@MANZANOADRIAN]

buddle?

[@demonhogo]

I don’t think the flex is necessary for this and 99% of other shots. Great video

[@giancarlodambrosio230]

using a velcro as security for the camera, ishhh

[@08breezy08]

man he know how to handle the Rock
