Yo! Here are some free downloadable sample footage of 6k ProRes Raw vs Prores 422HQ. Then you guys can see for yourself if not having ProRes Raw is a deal breaker for you. makeartnow.sellfy.store/p/free-dji-ronin-4d-sample-footage-pro-res-vs-prores-raw/
Hey, not sure if you're aware of this, but one of the files is missing on that URL.
👏👏👏😊😊😊🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
Josh! Do you think there will be any possibility that they can develop a LiDAR that makes the autofocus work for long range..? I know they use LiDAR on drones as well and... well the distances are huge.
It blows my mind that you can fill 23 minutes 12 seconds with amazing looking footage. That's absolutely so impressive.
Ikr… I didn’t even notice it’s 23minutes until you pointed it out 😂
You're obviously simple-minded...
Finally someone who actually talks about usage, options for lenses and shows usability of this setup. While ago when DJI sent these to cameratubers it was mostly hype. Peoole such as Potato, corridor and MacKinnon. They just praised and hyped how awesome this is. This video was what people wanted.
In their defense, this camera is a LOT to unpack. It's a camera + gimbal + monitor + wireless transmitter. It took me 6 months to get this video made because it is very dense. Too much to cover in detail in one video, ya know? Plus when those guys got it, they probably had a bunch of issues with the camera as all the units have had significant updates for all the little bugs.
Watch the video made by Parker Walbeck. He says everything about the 4D
The amount of production you put in this video is insane. I’m sure not a lot people realize it!! This is one of the far the best youtube channel that I ever subscribed! Amazing Job!!!!!
DJI just again made this video industry much more exciting. Imagine the technology anybody hasn't really thought of and executed, DJI keeps rolling the ball and produce engaging technologies time to time. What an immense effort coming the DJI team and their respective testers/clients. DJI fanboy since Phantom 2 days and man, they never disappointed me.
JOSH So good to see you back, great footage, informative and comical all at the same time. Nice review, I'm sure they did choose you to try and break it.
The 4d looks amazing. I think the biggest hurdle DJI will have is convincing people that this is a better option over "traditional" cinema cameras. In my experience, a lot of DPs/directors will frequently plan around a traditional cinema camera which corners a lot of productions into using traditional equipment. I think educating the right people on how this camera can simplify production, or allow for shots that aren't immediately obvious. As someone that uses cinema cameras, I even question myself on what I would purchase next if I had about $10,000 to invest in another cinema camera. Do I go with something like this to get unique takes and simplifies some production? Or do I go with an c300 or fx6/9 to match other camera's in our arsenal. I think it's easy to choose something familiar, but this device looks just rewarding enough that people like me might be convinced to take that risk.
I think this is more for the crash cam, B cam that matches the A cam. BUT..... when the other shoe drops later this year, that may change. Big things coming.
for me I think the biggest let down is the lack of raw - the fact that for a fraction of that you have blackmagics doing RAW - but that being said, this has some features that blow that out the water (built in gimbal and wireless system)
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL You can't leave us on a cliffhanger like that, at least a hint!
I think DJI is going for the much wider content creator play here over trying to restock production houses that are already filled up with Alexas etc. I think there are a ton of people making content on a budget that looks and feels every bit as good as what you're seeing on streaming services and in theaters, and that's who DJI is really going after. But then again, we've also seen a lot of productions adopt things like the Inspire 2 in just a few short years of existence, so I could definitely see huge budget productions pulling these out for certain scenes.
@@xanderross366 i've been shooting blackmagic for a couple years now and I personally prores 422 is enough for any situation
Love love love your videos. I made a prediction to my video buddies about 4 years ago that DJI would soon release a lens line (and they would become a 1 stop shop for film gear), I couldn't have predicted that they would go this far. The 4D is definitely the most interesting camera system of 2022. Wonderfull video btw.
A well made and entertaining video my dude. Had me hooked the entire time and got me excited for the future of filmmaking.
Thanks for keeping us plebs updated about the newest toys we get to play with in 2-5 years :)
Hi Josh,
If DJI is looking for Ronin 4D 8K feedback, could you please forward these? Thanks.
1. Implement ProRes RAW HQ and BRAW options.
2. Implement Focus Breathing Compensation.
3. Implement Wide Angle Distortion Correction for non DJI DL Mount Lenses.
4. Design to allow for heavy lenses with MattBox. Position Lidar so it’s not blocked(?)
5. Implement (better) Eye autofocus on moving subjects. Does it do animal eye autofocus(?).
6. Implement Lidar functionality in dark/ close spaces and over 30ft.
7. Implement AI based Through-the-Lens Focus to complement Lidar.
8. At low ISO, it should favor Highlights. Converse at high ISO.
9. Fix Excessive Rolling Shutter/ Implement Global Shutter.
10. In Dynamic Range Expansion, implement at least 8K 60fps.
11. Implement writing of all formats (including RAW) to CFAST express B cards.
12. Implement Continuous, Auto, Electronic, Internal ND.
13. Accept V-Mount Batteries.
14. Implement attachment of Camera/ Sensor directly to Brains (without Gimbal) so Heavy Lenses can be used traditionally.
15. Implement Open Gate.
16. High-Bright Remote Monitor should have HDMI-Out for Director’s Monitor feed.
17. Lighten the package weight.
BRAW on this camera would be amazing. Honestly, BMD could make a ton of money if they licensed it out. It's just such a GREAT codec to work with in editing software.
I wonder why they don't. I guess they just want to secure their market.
@@kamenwaticlients It feels like it's becoming available over external recording more and more but yeah, maybe it's something they're looking into doing.
@@FrameVoyager maybe the situation with ProRes Raw which already leads camera manufacturers to develop B-Raw and N-Raw will also leads DJI to develop their own raw codec if DJI can't use B-Raw or N-Raw.
Don't even want to think what DJI will think of 5 years from now. Ronin 4D is just next level!
5 year plan, flying cars my guy.
YOU are better than you think. I love your honest and wide reviews. 🙌
This was so incredibly thorough and informative in all the right places. Love how your having fun with these too Josh.
The lidar depth data looks really great. It's good to see even simple data visual monitoring tools come up.
Most interesting use of this camera I’ve seen so far. Class act, Josh.
I was lucky to use this camera quite a bit, and I was really impressed with the image, I would dare to say skin colors are the closest thing to arri alexa, while low light is - in my opinion - better than the A7siii. Because there’s no noise reduction, and that the noise look more organic, so more bearable.
Now it’s their first cinema camera, it’s not quite perfect, but the sensor and the lidr is really promising for the future !
Man the colors and clarity coming out of this camera are just superb
Love your channel. Just wondering, did someone different than usual edit this video?
Ive been binge watching your videos lately.
My dad who go me into filming passed away, and I am going to push myself to become as good as you!
Please keep inspiring me to do better. I am going to try and make some extra cash to buy the Vazen anamorphic lenses.
The Sirui 1.6x is a good intermediate lens, about half the cost. The colors are a little wonky but the stretch is good!
But this changes everything. Big budget studio quality, formerly only possible via Hollywood studio system, now in the hands of citizen production artists. Incredible shots.
Now this is what you call a camera review. I completely wrote this camera off, then you showed me how good the lidar is and the property work... thats exactly what I need for my day to day work!
Still to-date.. you deliver a review like no other.. NOT all just geek tech talk but actual practical use in the field with terminology the avg Joe understands.. Thank you for taking the time to put this review together..
Another awesome well edited and produced video! Love your content. The 4D looks juicy!
I've been on the fence for months of when to pull the trigger on this bad boy. After watching this I'm a little more convinced it's time. Great video with plenty of informative content as always.
Well done. I love long term reviews that really dig deep. The part with the 135 walking across the street has some weird compression going on tho in the trees.
Surprised no one else commented on that.
It is so clear how you process and think about the video making process. This is a review, but it feels like a short film. I love the way you, Gerald, Caleb, and so many others, think about this art, and how the way you think influences the way you all create.
Dude I don't know squat about video and filming. Stumbled on this channel for a few pointers on my channel on my other page several months ago and am hooked! 👍🏽
Wow Josh, this video review/analysis of Ronin 4D is just INSANE! I loved how much you tested the 4D 💪 Now you inspired me to do better with my videos and my tutorials 👍 Keep going my man 🚀
Thank you for using this and the tilta rig!
Finally broke down a bought one, figured for real estate work this will be clutch. Super niche but worth it
Looks like a great camera, it's, just the build and looks of it' on the other hand the quality of the footage looks amazing, if joshes b roll footage is not played on a big screen at my funeral I'm not going... LOVED IT DUDE..
Love you Keith. ;)
Agreed. This is an almost pure run and gun camera. If you do a lot of stationary/studio work this camera will be wasted on you. But if you're doing a lot of action, walk throughs, follow cams, this camera is actually pretty amazing.
This is one of the most beautiful reviews that I have ever seen!
I know little about filming making but the dream is still in the back of my head. Great video.
Incredible video man. Did they take your feedback on with the screws being thicker? Wondering if they've made that section of the camera a little more secure would hate that to happen after spending so much money for the thing.
Yeah they 100% did. That unit was a prototype about 3-4 months before they launched the production version.
Since then I've put my 4D unit thru the ringer the last 2 years and have not had anything close to that happening again. And put some serious heavy lenses on there too. It's solid.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Oh perfect, thanks for the reply man looks like I'll be picking up a Ronin 4D thanks to your video :)
Is there a good spot to mount a shotgun mic on this thing? I haven't seen anyone put a mic on it.
Yeah as someone who HAS the whole DSLR + gimbal + monitor etc rig that is an awful lot of work to setup and balance every time and i often find myself just shooting on my DJI pocket 2 a lot of the time since its easy to just whip out. Clearly DJI just took the same concept and blew it up into a pro cinema camera and thats a fantastic idea.
You are no. one dude! The most creative vlogger on the planet. Thanks for the review.
Ronin 4D mounted on DJI own drone is mindblowing. I wish DJI could collaborate with Sony on electronic VND, PDAF enabled lenses, efficient codec, etc.
There’s a reason why DJI has you on their team. Your videos are always 🤌🏻 Well done man. You made me forget why I was even watching the video and just had me so entranced
Holy shit man, amazing work. Keep it up. I also noticed the shot on the 710 freeway with the police chase, I live near there. This is good quality content, all 23 mins of it.
All your clips have excellent color and I like how they lean blue
The detaching of the body is until now for a osmo like gimbal grip with a cable. you get a belt where you can attach the ronin 4d body on your back and have a cable to the gimbal grip... so fullframe osmo is coming !
Bingo.
Great video as always, got my 4d yesterday and found this seriously informative
Loved the trick/tip you mentioned regarding lock then side turn
Thanks again
1:30 The same feeling for me. Whenever I pull off such a foil it's the moment when I finally realize it's definitely MINE. 😁😎
There truly is nobody creating content on your level buddy. Stoked to have you living 2 hours away at the end of the month! We're gonna have a blast filming together again.
Aye thanks buddy
This video was both highly informative and awe inspiring. A seriously amazing production. Thank you as I am now hyped to press in and level up.
super review - always a pleasure watching your stuff :)
Your Videos are always like a short Film / Dokumentary in a way .. Very appreciated 🙂👌
22:35 YES WHY DID NOBODY ELSE ASK THIS QUESTION WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT?! That was the NUMBER ONE thing my head went to when I saw everybody's initial videos on the 4D. I'd love to see a heavier-duty version in the future that's capable of taking on lenses like the Tamron 35-150 f/2.8 or even Sony's 100-400mm G Master. Would make for a very interesting 360-degree setup if you want to have four or five of them around a set for PoV shots.
The one shot in the city with the Laowa 9mm. It looked so overwhelming. Amazing.
Your review is AMAZING, thank you so much for this (the 9mm shots are insane hahahaha)
Josh, you glossed over the best part! How did you get in touch with Wally? That had to be great! Is Nolan next???
Great work as always!
That's a video itself.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Hope you share the story someday!
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL What was he shooting with the 4D? Do you have a link to this video?
OH MY GOD IT FEELS LIKE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR AGES FOR THIS LONG TERM REVIEW FROM MAKEARTNOW
This was so informative on so many levels. I can’t wait to rent this for future projects
honestly this was the best and most infomative review i have ever seen. thank you, for the effort and all the information.
That running shot with 9mm Laowa is sick! Wow, i would never imagine this is not shot from crane or drone
I loved this, like all your vids, keep up the great work bro. (Also, I saw that little moment at 7:17 with the screwdriver going the wrong direction lol)
Great and detailed review. Your excitement is palatable.
I'm just waiting for DJI to make a stand alone Lidar accessory to put onto cinema cameras and provide a longer range depth map for focus pulling. Kind of like the Preston Lightranger but with a better focusing display than green bars that only extend vertically.
15:14 ORRRRRRBIT in daaaaaa house baby. Nice video Josh. Awesome review.
I appreciate all the extra work you put in this video.
i always like this dude videos, because he's about making art and the best use of a device. whilst most other reviewers tend to just rant about tech. keep it up dude!
I want that Lidarsensor, Monitor, Wireless Module and the FIZ unit as an extra package to work via SDI on other cameras. That System would be focus puller heaven. The image quality on the 4D is wonderful. The only thing i notice is a lot of horizon drift on walking and car shots.
Yes indeed. Without the GPS module the camera does not know how fast it's going and cannot account for the drift. It's possible DJI could fix that with an additional hardware for car mounts. Most likely they won't address it for drone shots because if the camera in mounts and connects to the drone, it will use the drones GPS.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL i understand and you also mentioned it in the video. but the problem is also there when walking. this is also noticeable on the other dji gimbals, mostly the smaller ones. maybe the 4d already has a gps module but just not activated. and for drone use... there will be soon a new inspire that uses those 4D sensor modules :P
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL and i just found a patent from dji for a PL mount on that sensor gimbal assembly. looks like they have big plans for the future.
SO MUCH EYE CANDY, I want this camera so bad now! Amazing review of this, it has SERIOUS POTENTIAL
Awesome review like always. I was wondering based on your experience with the dji wireless mics would you recommend them over the other available wireless mic systems?
Yes the Mics are amazing. I like them better than the rode.
Shotbybumdon
Hyped to finally sit down to watch this
I don't even shoot video and I watched the entire thing. Your videos are always so well put together, excellent as always.
Everytime I watch Your videos man... everything looks amazing.... so jealous 😏😁🤘😎
Well done, brother! On a side note, the denim shirt and hair makes me wonder if you should have played Nathan Drake in Uncharted 😅👌
That would have been dope! I can still do Army of Dead. ;)
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL Send the studio a message by wearing a leather holster vest in the next video 😉
One of the few videos that needs something greater that 'like'. Absolutely epic!
thanks for the clue at the end about the 4D detachable camera then plus the drone footage right after simply says next up is the Inspire 3
You're the first one that put that together.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL lol yea that one stuck out like a sore thumb 😅 so I know its coming very soon, its only right it does. What better else professional drone would fit that ecosystem perfectly no other then with the 4D 👌
I can't believe it took me this long to realize that it's called the 4D is because it stabilizes in 4 Dimensions. That's SO cool.
Can it be broadcast live!? For example, to work in a television studio or to do live interviews from outside for TV studios? All the best!
it feels like i was watching film on filmmaking the effort every time you put in is incredible. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh freak dude ! i have no words to explain awesome
This thing is amazing! Yeah, I can't afford it right now, but a man can dream.. Thanks a lot for the in depth video about it.
why always this reviews had to be so fking good!! haha the editing, the dialog! everything it's amazing, the camera it's so out of my level but watching this makes me want to buy it so much!
Honestly the only thing that impresses me is the wireless monitor and built in receiver and the remote controller. That’s honestly a game changer . I really hope they make a firmware update and or implement it to current or future Dji gimbals. Where it’s a “ attachment” I honestly would spend the 3-5 k for that wireless system
Aaaand now we have the RS3 Pro lol. It was only a matter of time.
Great video thanks for doing a video on the Ronin 4d!
They don't need a GPS for horizon lock. GPS actually would undersample and likely not work. GPS updates at 1hrz. They need a gyro to detect angular accelleration. Must be working with accelerometers.
Bro this and your movies are insane!!
you're bloody amazing man! such great footage!
Where can i see all the final Videos from the Intro ? Supra/Porsche/etc..? 😀 looks unbeliveable 🥰
Really really useful review - puts the 4D in context and you can't beat real life scenarios.
Dji ronin 4d just got a big firmware update on 1/13/2022. this camera is pure magic. If you get the chance to to try this thing out you will feel like a kid again.
As someone who primarily shoots weddings... I can see a huge amount of upside to this line particularly with the use of vintage lenses.
I do want to buy the Helios 40 and set it up with the autofocus in a wooded area. Would be mind blowing if it could hold the weight and give that monster AF.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL so much swirl. Hopefully DJI release some other mount options for those already invested in other systems... If they can do E mount then L, RF, EF should be no issue
Josh! Do you think there will be any possibility that they can develop a LiDAR that makes the autofocus work for long range..? I know they use LiDAR on drones as well and... well the distances are huge.
Always perfect, start to finish.
Are you shooing The One in 24fps? Awesome video as always, thanks
I SECOND THIS, as a solo shooter i feel Ronin 4d is a bliss with faster setups. it be a good pair up for my Sony a1. but be buying the second version tho not this. did the same thing with dji ronin, 1st gen was super heavy and kinda ok ok. i got rsc2 now for my setup now it works great and comparatively lightweight for my workflow.
Great Ending! DJI looks to be releasing more powerful gimbals to update onto the Ronin 4D in the future 🙌🏼🔥
Ehhhhh..... more like Inspire 3.
@@MAKEARTNOWCHANNEL oh yes! And becoming modular as well
I will never buy this but I still enjoyed watching your review of it. You are hands down one of the best creators on TH-cam.
Great video. What mount is being used for the Olympus Zuiko lens?
One of, if not THE best, reviews of the Ronin 4D !!
Don't tell me what I think! 😜💜
Someone has to
THINK LOBSTER 🦞
it will be good to hear....😆
The only thing now we need is NETFLIX to put this on their APPROVED cam list & EVERY serious film maker who’s ever wanted to get to streaming will do so. This TOOL is as they say a paradigm shift in the industry. It’s not a joke… it’s a DREAM come true for film makers who’ve been waiting for ONE ECO system. An all in one camera that does it all. 🎥💪🏼💪🏼🎥
Hello, which lens was used in the Bel Air "THE ONE" house on the Ronin 4D ?
9mm Laowa. Link in bio
Unliking to re like! I'm on like 10 now. Glad to see josh back.
this is one of the best reviews ive ever seen
