@@stephenzhao9773 is that true? I thought people would but the drone and the camera separately. GoPro specialised in cameras, and DJI specialised in drones.
@@edcameron I heard GoPro wanted to take most profits of the final drone products, and they thought DJI would die soon without their camera technologies.

The price point will be interesting to hear, but I’m also curious how this will be like in a real shoot. Is it overly gimmicky or will it provide needed tools? Excited to see where this thing goes.
Always coming through with the most comprehensive reviews PJ! What a contraption. I think i'll stick with the mirrorless and action cams but stoked to see where filmmaking is going and DJI are making huge leaps to bring our creative ideas to life
"The best channel on planet earth, Potato Jet!" I've commented on a number of these reviews and THIS is now the best of them all! You cover everything! You are the man!
The 4D Z axis stabilization is the winning touch here, that combined with the rest of the package which helps it keep simple and minimal effort, I can see a lot of people loving it and happy to be using it. I’d love to play with it, looks so fun. I’m sure the low light is good enough at 5k iso, I’d leave it at 5K for an even noise profile, the ND filter haptic feedback is awesome! I’m glad this was invented. I can already see how practical this is and a lot of people are gonna enjoy creating simply beautiful clips of videos with it. Awesome!
For someone like me not knowing very mutch about the movie industry and just slowly starting to do more video because of mirrorless cameras. Mind-blowing! The flexibility, the integration, interface, even the price looks sharp if you compare to flagship cameras mirrorless like A1, R3, Z9. And you can use your Sony lenses on your mirrorless still! Almost bummed I don't have Sony gear.
Now all they need to do is add more lens compatibility, adopt the SD Express standard, and add in real RAW codecs. That is, quite literally, a perfect camera system.
$7200 FYI. The remote operation and lidar tracking built in is the biggest appeal. But it looks like you're always be forced to have the gimbal look with this guy...when the gimbal is locked I see a TON of shaking happening, so don't think the popular hand-held or even easy rig look will be possible. Love that DJI is innovating.
What a surprising set of features on this beast of a camera! Thanks Dylan for modeling! Edit: Did DJI specifically say the NDA ending time is at 6:40am PT? So funny that all the TH-cam notifications are popping off in the morning.
I watched like 4-5 videos about this camera. Yours is the first one I watched to the end and actually enjoyed. Awesome work as always! Thanks a lot for your hard work.
That thing is amazing! For years I was hoping for something like an Osmo pro 2.0 that would work with their x7 camera. This is even better! Now I wanna see the inspire 3 finally, where you can stick this x9 too! 😎🙌
I'm a huge potato jet fan, but this is a very unbiased opinion- I watched at least 5 or 6 other videos about this camera (that I know I definitely won't be able to afford)- This is the best first-day video of any other creator I've seen. It has me wondering if you had the same 24 hours everyone else had... This video is so thorough, informative, and entertaining. No seriously how did you manage to get all of this info so quickly you must not have slept lol (or you've had it for months and secretly work at DJI some kinda way)
After watching A7M4 release, I truly admire how DJI is revolutionizing the cinema camera and I do believe they'll one day dominate the pro/consumer market.
This is the absolute perfect one-man-band camera system for freelancers and small video production companies who do lots of run and gun social media work maybe even up to commercial work, and even for all low budget short films too! Unfortunately for us, we wouldn't be able to use it as it doesn't have the necessary professional aspects required for our work in broadcast and TV etc. such SDI Connections, Timecode, XLR inputs etc. But we would still love to play around with this one day and any innovative camera like this is only a good thing! And imagine what we can use in 5 years time where they will make a camera we probably can use for all that professional work too that will take over Hollywood!
@@godboy159 perhaps not, but what is required to make a brilliant film might be seriously re-evaluated after watching the movie Primer, and learning that the whole thing was made in blood, sweat, tears, and 7 grand.
Wow this is what I call innovation, good job DJI! Literally would be an Insta buy for me if I was able to lock or put some kind of locking system in front of that gimbal to attach bigger or various lens for the suited job type and not damage that part of the camera. I would buy this in a heartbeat
It's cool but if one thing breaks you rely heavily on dji to get that thing repaired. That would be no issue today but what about in 5 years if this thing flops?
This is exactly what I we as thinking, I hope their costumer service is good because when my gimble broke, I absolutely could not get to the company 170$ down the drain
Solo shooters and small crews, weddings, documentary that 4K axis is the game changer, any thing run and gun. am saving to get the 8K version next year. just means I might have to transcode Pro Ress RAW to Proress 4444 in order to edit on Resolve and mix it with my BRAW edits.
@@zoetmoments5625 brides and grooms @ the weddings I shoot already go “whoa that cool” when I bust out my RSC2 w/ raveneye and use the force control on my phone, and stop acting natural and want to “play with the toy” … I imagine if I showed up with this thing, no one would care about the wedding anymore, just want to play with the camera! Lol
Honestly not many. This is killer when you need distance and remote control of the camera (I'm thinking wildlife or in dangerous environments, motorsports, et) but other than that it's just a gimbal with a camera built in. And honestly I see it being too much of a pain in the ass for run-n-gun - i.e. you're always having to rebalance for every lens swap. Can you go from a nice gimbal shot to a tripod w/ 70-200 without having to dick around with the gimbal? Doubtful. At it's price point most already have and can afford a dedicated gimbal camera anyway. This seems like a great specialty product, but not a general one.
gopro and insta360 also do that. You can't use the camera if you don't pair it first with app. I think I only saw one time where I could dismiss that message on camera and start recording. Can't remember which model.
Besides an interesting piece of innovative camera from DJI, I love how real this real was. Practically every scene was outdoors in the real world. Seeing examples taken straight from outside, if it still performs well, it is going to do an excellent job most likely when being used in a professional controlled environment
This is by far the most comprehensive review I have seen of this camera yet. I love the display for the LIDAR focus system and the sensors for the stabilization. It is really cool how they are leveraging the technology used in their drones for cinema cameras. I am curious about the battery life and pricing.
I'm pretty sure that red "rec" button is for "recreational mode" where you mount a beer on the front and the arm extends to hand it to you. :) - Jokes aside, very interesting concept. I'm not sure I want one, but I'm happy it exists.
That thing is INSANE! What impressed me the most probably was the LiDar Focusing, they had a module for the RS2 previously but this seems to be an improved version isn't it?
EXCELLENT review! I was wondering how this thing works and how it looks up close! You did a GREAT job covering all the aspects! Keep up the great work! ❤👍
@@LukasLiwandouw yes both are updated and are being used on the A7R IV which is also up to date. The camera also goes through a random resets with only the Rokinon lenses during use. Although it hasn’t happened in a few shoots maybe firmware fixed that.
Amazing! This address a lot of the shortcomings of the Osmo+. Active-Z seems a lot more useful than the spring loaded version. Love that focus is now so much faster. I hope they make a prosumer version of the Ronin 4D.
Wow, while I had seen images of this circulating around over the past month or so this is FAR more exciting than I was expecting. The big question now is what price will this be? My biggest concerns are how it's almost 100% proprietary everything, which means even the simplest part is likely going to be price gouged. While I really think this has a lot of potential, and will likely result in similar products. The biggest hesitation is that DJI does abandon their old tech, which also means the this is likely to have a shorter overall life due to those two factors. Still it's great to see innovative stuff like this.
@@hopkinsfilms8028 for what's included that seems like a pretty good price, but the more I think about it the more questions I think need answers before I would want to invest that kind of money. Like how much are the batteries, and what's their run time? How do different lenses react speed wise when pulling focus? How heavy a lens can the gimbal balance? Clearly lens options are going to be far more limited than with a traditional cinema camera, and that could be a limiting factor as well. I want more info! ;)
I thaught you would be the best and most balanced reviewer about this "toy" . As speeded you are 🤪 and despite that, you are still one of the most balanced and trustworthy reviewer. 😉 Great ! Thanks.
Pretty amazing how much they've packed into this. I agree very much with the idea of being able to lock off the gimbal somehow. Aside from that, it feels like they've thought of everything. Here's my question: does it feel solid? There are so many sensitive motors on it. I wonder how fragile it is? Does it seem like all the buttons are well sealed, or will a dusty environment ruin it and start making buttons and knobs and gimbal grind to a halt? Are the E/M mounts included, or separate add ons? What is the pixel pitch 8K vs 6K? Looking at their specs, I was thinking maybe the 6K model would be able to shoot higher frame rates, but it seems like they've included a less powerful processor in the 6K version of the camera? The footage looks amazingly clean, but I'd like to see 6K vs 8K comparisons. Overall, it's amazing.
$7200 for the 6k version seems pretty expensive. I was thinking it would be closer to $6000. Thoughts? Edit: after reading some of y'alls comments and getting passed my morning brain, I agree, I do think it's priced pretty competitively. I think the biggest downside is lens options. But for certain projects and scenarios, I think this is a beast of a camera setup. Especially with all the wireless options.
Well, he said it would be priced "competitively" and it has some unique selling features that take it beyond most comparable camera systems in the $6K range. I was going to guess $8K.
It’s a camera that shoots pro res raw internally and full frame with a built in 4 axis stabilizer. 7,200 is cheap for a setup like that. An fx3 is 4500 or somewhere around there. Then you add a gimbal and you are easily close to 6000 but those gimbals also don’t have 4th axis you add an extra arm to get the 4th axis and those run for about 1000 so now we are at 7000. Then you include all the extra features it has like the wheels on the handles and built in nd and you’ve got yourself a pretty expensive setup. I think this is priced fairly cheap for what it is.
Considering all of the features, the gimbal with the extra dimension, nd filter, lidar sensor, extra handles and the 1500 nit monitor I'd say it's really well priced
The monitor on its own in most other systems would cost north of 1k. Have a look at comparable SmallHD monitors. Also transmitters are crazy expensive - see teradek.
Man this thing is really cool, price actually pretty reasonable when you consider how much stuff it comes with. 1tb ssd, handles, monitor, built in nd, wireless transmitter, etc. Gotta admit i'm a little bummed they advertised 6k/8k raw and its prores raw and not cinemadng or some other true raw.
Epiic! I wonder if they will make a smaller little brother version of this also. That interface and full system intergration is amazing, here I am still scrolling through sony's menu 😅

Hey Potato, any chance I can buy your E-mount adapter for this thing? :D Been having troubles getting one.
Also, any advice on the low pass filter for this? Is it necessary?
So, now with no ProRes Raw is there any recording limitations to just cut out the ProSSD and just use C Fast or USB-C out to External?

This is not innovating but an attempt to bite a piece of somebody's pie. Next up DJI car
where did you saw locked footage?
If you really wanted the locked in look handheld DJI could sell some physical locks to slide over the gimbal arms to hold everything steady.
On some of their newer drones, you can chose to lock the gimbal in software. I’d imagine they’ll do something similar with this camera
The footage genuinely looks amazing! Im really impressed

@@LukasLiwandouw yes both are updated and are being used on the A7R IV which is also up to date. The camera also goes through a random resets with only the Rokinon lenses during use. Although it hasn’t happened in a few shoots maybe firmware fixed that.
@@bobpearson6569 which spesific lens? yes i heard that older samyang/rokinon lenses have af issues, but the new 24mm f1.8 is just flawless.
This is one of the best and useful cameras I've seen in a long time. Great review man!!
This camera system is very exciting. I’m thinking of shots. Wow
Amazing! This address a lot of the shortcomings of the Osmo+.
Active-Z seems a lot more useful than the spring loaded version.
Love that focus is now so much faster.
I hope they make a prosumer version of the Ronin 4D.
oh my this is so cool
Insane is the word!
Looking forward to Cine Tracer: Meta
Very cool! I just want to hold it for some reason! 😂
Wow DJI nailed their market positioning. It fits other brands’ camera lenses…that’s so smart. And that touchscreen menu looks so sweet.
I was expecting making this 12k for easy editing meaning crop or pan control.. hey can you use the one hand pov drone joystick?
This is so well designed... Absolutely didn't expect this at all
They're definitely going to make a drone for this
You'd be able to sit in that drone....
Doesn’t the inspire already have the zenmuse lenses on it??
@@CalebBoender Yes, the DJI lenses are the same as on the inspire 2. I hope the new gimbal X9 system fits the old Inspire 2.
@@janmzb Itd be better if they put it on and inspire 3! that inspire 2 is a tired old horse at this stage
@@mmcphotographyirl I asked Dji, X9 doesnt fit on the Inspire 2. Maybe there will be a new one. I‘m a little bit tired of all the Inspire 2 bugs.
Thank you for doing a spot on review of this product… Checked out some other videos but yours is hands-down the best.
Even at +$7,000, this is still insane.
Somehow you've become the only Video/Photo channel I watch now, I don't even look at the others now 😅
The moment I realised that concept I saw years ago was true
:0
This is the best video about the dji ronin 4d so far
Has the camera/gimbal the same mount as the Inspire 2 or is it bigger?
different mount, it has 2 rows of pins where as the inspire 2's cameras only have a single row of pins in the mount
I love the risky move from DJI. Amazing innovation.
DJI: What if we put everything into one camera body?
Holy hell I was just seeing if you were reviewing and testing this very camera amazing!!!
Wow, while I had seen images of this circulating around over the past month or so this is FAR more exciting than I was expecting. The big question now is what price will this be? My biggest concerns are how it's almost 100% proprietary everything, which means even the simplest part is likely going to be price gouged. While I really think this has a lot of potential, and will likely result in similar products. The biggest hesitation is that DJI does abandon their old tech, which also means the this is likely to have a shorter overall life due to those two factors. Still it's great to see innovative stuff like this.
Price is available. $7100 for 6k and around $11k for 8K.
@@hopkinsfilms8028 for what's included that seems like a pretty good price, but the more I think about it the more questions I think need answers before I would want to invest that kind of money. Like how much are the batteries, and what's their run time? How do different lenses react speed wise when pulling focus? How heavy a lens can the gimbal balance? Clearly lens options are going to be far more limited than with a traditional cinema camera, and that could be a limiting factor as well. I want more info! ;)
I thaught you would be the best and most balanced reviewer about this "toy" .
As speeded you are 🤪 and despite that, you are still one of the most balanced and trustworthy reviewer. 😉
Great ! Thanks.
What happened to the other guy - Genes friend - has he left not seen him in a while.
If you're talking about Sam I believe he is currently shooting a Netflix series
Seems like DJI came out swinging with a well thought out and unique camera
This is a technical masterpiece but still, the image quality is just ok
How do you know? They are not allowed to show image quality on pre production models.
@@travis8665 Haven't you seen the footages made by Gen, Matti, Parker Wahlbeck, Armando Ferreira....?
Pretty amazing how much they've packed into this. I agree very much with the idea of being able to lock off the gimbal somehow. Aside from that, it feels like they've thought of everything. Here's my question: does it feel solid? There are so many sensitive motors on it. I wonder how fragile it is? Does it seem like all the buttons are well sealed, or will a dusty environment ruin it and start making buttons and knobs and gimbal grind to a halt? Are the E/M mounts included, or separate add ons? What is the pixel pitch 8K vs 6K? Looking at their specs, I was thinking maybe the 6K model would be able to shoot higher frame rates, but it seems like they've included a less powerful processor in the 6K version of the camera? The footage looks amazingly clean, but I'd like to see 6K vs 8K comparisons. Overall, it's amazing.
$7200 for the 6k version seems pretty expensive. I was thinking it would be closer to $6000. Thoughts?
Edit: after reading some of y'alls comments and getting passed my morning brain, I agree, I do think it's priced pretty competitively. I think the biggest downside is lens options. But for certain projects and scenarios, I think this is a beast of a camera setup. Especially with all the wireless options.
Well, he said it would be priced "competitively" and it has some unique selling features that take it beyond most comparable camera systems in the $6K range. I was going to guess $8K.
It’s a camera that shoots pro res raw internally and full frame with a built in 4 axis stabilizer. 7,200 is cheap for a setup like that. An fx3 is 4500 or somewhere around there. Then you add a gimbal and you are easily close to 6000 but those gimbals also don’t have 4th axis you add an extra arm to get the 4th axis and those run for about 1000 so now we are at 7000. Then you include all the extra features it has like the wheels on the handles and built in nd and you’ve got yourself a pretty expensive setup. I think this is priced fairly cheap for what it is.
Considering all of the features, the gimbal with the extra dimension, nd filter, lidar sensor, extra handles and the 1500 nit monitor I'd say it's really well priced
@@BransenPass Exactly, I was expecting this to be at least 10K
The monitor on its own in most other systems would cost north of 1k. Have a look at comparable SmallHD monitors. Also transmitters are crazy expensive - see teradek.
The built in focus system and all the detachable bits are what I love the most. With all this tech, I'm curious about the durability and the price.
why is it actually not bad lmao
Why are you here lol
this is probably the coolest camera I've seen in my life
Man this thing is really cool, price actually pretty reasonable when you consider how much stuff it comes with. 1tb ssd, handles, monitor, built in nd, wireless transmitter, etc. Gotta admit i'm a little bummed they advertised 6k/8k raw and its prores raw and not cinemadng or some other true raw.
Epiic! I wonder if they will make a smaller little brother version of this also. That interface and full system intergration is amazing, here I am still scrolling through sony's menu 😅
DJI made a Pro Cam 12 Seconds ago
Clicked on your review first because I know it was going to be informative and entertaining af! 🔥
Love the review, When a new product is released and aaaalllll the channels get it to review at the same time and cant upload til a preset time, what to do in your vid???? killed it mate, the best from all of them
Wow I'm impressed!
Props to DJI for making such a sick Pro Camera from the get-go.
This is the most amazing camera I have ever seen! SOOOO many dream features 👍
And a very very good review man 💪😁🎥
This is the best review of them all.
It seems that DJI took a page out of Blackmagic Design's stellar playbook with this innovative camera release.
Super cool that DJI is making cameras now, this is awesome looking!
