![They FINALLY Made a PERFECT CAMERA [DJi RONIN 4D]](/img/tr.png)
The beautiful language of camera, as in this video, is how to use a tool correctly for a scene. Having gimbal or shaky cam doesn't make a movie good, but knowing when, how and for what exact duration, is the key. The shake on tension and the stabilization on calm and slow tracking back for some breathing is so perfect. It's the kind of perfect when the audience doesn't notice gear or camera or detail or whatever, but is totally immersed in the scene and that's the language of cinema. Well everything else included, but this is where even Hollywood fucks up sometimes. I recently saw a trailer for a new movie, great image and sound quality and acting and lighting and all, but, camera was constantly, intentionally shaking, even for calm and focus related scenes, watching a group discuss something, but I couldn't even focus because the damn camera felt like operator was too drunk to stand still. This intentional shake just pisses me off every time.
Sorry for the long message, but what you're doing is how it's supposed to be done and you prove every time that its not the equipment that makes a movie good, its how you use it so that we don't feel the equipment at all. This is the secret
Which trailer was that?
@@ufoclub1977 Sorry I had stopped watching it in the middle and scrolled away, but should have watched full
Holy crap, I've seen this camera a million times when everyone was reviewing it but that montage was the first time I was convinced it could be used for something which feels so cinematic! I forgot the point of the video was to show off the gear and was just immersed by what it could do, so sick
I thought the same thing until I realized, it's not the camera making the shots look good, it's Ryan's incredible knowledge. Ryan has gone as far as shooting with an iphone in the past to prove that it's not the camera.
That was a crazy awesome location in the beginning 🔥
This was the review I was waiting for and can't wait for you guys to do a short
May be my favorite DJI product so far
Omg, I love the way the the DJI4D looks. I’ve seen it before, but that montage was sick.
This looks awesome, great breakdown! Does this have any verticle functionality? (Without just spinning the entire rig on its side.)
Good point - Im tagging in on this question.
Been using this Camera for a Month now, can't imagine going back to camera and Gimbal 😢, it fits perfectly for my type of shooting
$6,700 is camera price. You're welcome
$6,800
Bargain
That’s not a bad price at all considering the money you can make with it. Question is, what lens was used & the price of the lens
I thought maybe 20k. I’ll get 3.
lol i wish wayyyy closer to 16-18k once you get all of the attachments after taxs.... they got us good....
The best thing with this camera is the lidar AF. By far the best implementation of AF I’f seen. The camera is interesting but a little strange. I susect it will sell fairly well and then 2nd version is really impressive with everything they learn from this one.
I could see it as a great B or C Cam on production! For gimbal work without having to have another full gimbal and tear a setup down! The LiDAR is wild!
For sure. They could sell that part of the system alone for other cameras and people would pay $6K for that by itself. People already pay more than that for follow focus systems that just drive a motor and do nothing clever.
I'm waiting for a full set of lenses to come out with this and I'll consider purchasing this camera. I'm very impressed!
I come back to say that the Ronin 4D has a weight balancer for heavier lenses! I repeat you can use lenses up to 2 pounds with the weight balance that attaches to the back of the head of the lens! I'm amazed by this and WILL be buying this baby in a couple of months!
They have them. The DJI DL mount lenses.
Damn... The 6K version costs 6700$
Wait for the next version which will probably be able to handle large lenses as this one is not the world's most reliable. Cheers

@@aliendroneservices6621 😦😦😦😦
I have been obsessed with this camera since the day they announced it. i fully intend on getting one ASAP
I was totally wondering when you'd get your hands on one. All the reviews I've heard so far mention a beefier gimbal so it can accept cine lenses. No Film School's podcast mentioned having the focus data as a downloadable file for compositing, and a keyframe system for repeating shots.
Saying it again, Justin should really push for bigger acting jobs. He’s getting really really good.
The intro sequence blew me away. I literally sounded like a siren while I was watching it. It was so good!
Finally I've wanted to hear Ryan geek out about this for so long
I’ve never been this early… this camera looks crazy cool.
This review was the best, filmriot should have been the first guys to get this camera, there review is solid
Was this filmed at an old grain silo near Sherman TX?
You guys are really amazing! I want to request if you can make an episode on live studio audience sitcom making process (technical approach) and post production techniques - how to achieve that look with digital cine cameras?
this is the most impressive piece of film gear I've seen in recent times. More impressive even than the 50k Reds and the like.
God it would be so cool to see a classic little Film Riot fight scene shot on this camera
I can see by his example, that Ryan really liked Nightmare Alley LOL
Oh that og Fabian Mazur track to show off the camera in the beginning game me goosebumps!
Just got a pair of them delivered yesterday. Got a big testing weekend ahead. So excited.
with the dji and sony lenses that easily mounted to this, it also has a pretty wide choice of focal lengths.
My name is Austin’ Lidgett I am a digital cinematography student at full sail university, Your youtube page has inspired me in so many ways to become a filmmaker and how to tell a good story. I hope to one day be as good as you are before I get to old lol (I’m 35 now) My only issue is I live in the middle of nowhere, lol, and I’m not sure how to get my foot in the door in the film industry without moving. It would be awesome if you did a contest or something to have to chance to spend A day learning from you one on one. Any way keep inspiring new Film makes. Thanks again.
Stunt Sequence...YES PLEASE! Great job applying this camera in some really cool situations!
why i play opening Broll scene over and over again. the music so sick!!
I do like that hand held look converting into stable shot. It'd be nice in a fighting off a group of people scene and then the good guy wins only to stable the camera to a bigger group of people for him to fight.
Great review. I’m getting this camera next month as Camera B to compliment my Sony FX6. Thank you.
This camera is insane! I'm even more excited than way back when the Canon 5D came out. Less drinking money for me now, so that I can buy this beautiful 'Chicken Head Camera"...lol
P.s. Greetings from sunny South Africa!
Time consuming 🔥
One person can handle everything 🍂
Insane resolution & frame rate💟
Cine presets😍
Light weight compared to other
DJI should release 1D Cube body without gimbal but have all the other features.
The lidar alone sounds life changing for 1st ACs. I don’t want auto focus. I prefer my focus being pulled by a person. But the lidar top view eliminates all the guessing that can ruin otherwise good shots. It’s that extra bit of assistance the 1st AC needs and I want it on all the regular cameras I work with.
Thanks for your review - I have just taken delivery here in the UK of the 8K Ronin 4D combo - it comes with the 17-28mm native zoom lens - just need to learn how to use the Ronin lol. You can get XLR inputs add on module now.
YES! Action sequence! 👊
Dji are fast when it comes to innovation.
Not bad the ronin 4d but I never would give away my FX6 😂💪🏼 best cinematic greetings from germany
Looks like a great rig for short films and music videos....can't wait to see what they come up with next. Nice review!🐱🏍
I don't know why but the fact that there are 8 physical buttons around the screen just incase you don't want to use the touch screen made me smile. Good job DJI
This Video was great because you guys used this camera as a filmmaker would. Most reviews I’ve seen are just TH-camr doing simple stuff and do things that doesn’t show us filmmaker this cameras storytelling abilities and advantages.
This thing is mad! MAD!! MAD!!! I've been looking for a good review video and this was it!
How does the system turn manual lenses into autofocus lenses? Don't completely manual, not electronic lenses require someone to pull focus?
£5,659 for the 6K version - to me this is must have camera. As a single camera operator run and gun work will become so much easier and importantly enjoyable. So big 👍 up.
Justin Robinson is phenomenal actor that sports mode shift😱🔥👌
What camera, lens and lighting were you using to shoot this presentation. It looks really good. The warm soft edging is really nice.
I've been thinking about this camera for shooting my first feature. I love how it's everything in one package. For what I want to do on a smaller budget, this would benefit the film very well I think. Thanks for making this video! I've been waiting for you guys to check it out. Also I would love to see that test action scene you talked about shooting with this camera. Since my film is a sci fi action, I would love to see the camera being used in a genre like that.
Also check out Zcam - I shot my first feature on the s6. Awesome camera. Workhorse with amazing image. Easy to rig. China is crushing in tech
@@PaulSprangersCityLimits haven’t looked into those cameras much. I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you!
Cant wait for mine to arrive
It is such an incredible camera and I hope I don't get hate from saying this and I just want to clarify the actual look of the camera footage is insanely good but I feel like the 4d stabilization could use a tiny bit of work because even in the begging montage I could see the unstablized up and down movements and it definitely handled some shots way better than others. Like the shot through the hole in the wall facing the subject could have definitely been stabilized better. Other than that though what a crazy camera!
Finally 😁😁😅 I have been waiting for you guys to review it
Dji, China band, we are proud of it.
see some ever so slight lateral wobble on foreground areas on few shots. surprising because I never noticed it on earlier footage. I see some of that on my ronin and have never been able to eliminate it. this camera is a forward visionary approach, glad to see them moving in this direction. lidar focus is amazing, when phones came out with lidar I knew it was coming to big rigs. fully ready to rock is closer to 8 grand which still aint bad, but nice that its modular. wondering what V2.0 will bring. great review though, nice shots y'all pulled off. wondering about that SSD any dropped frames? USB3.1? keep on keeping on and have an awesome weekend
The camera looks awesome. Very cool breakdown on the camera.
Wow the showcase at 4:44 goes brazy
this camera needs a global shutter.
Great Video! That abandoned building kinda looked like the backdrop to Turbulent Displace Man! LOL
WOOOO supposed to get it in any day now...love seeing this videos!
This is Mind Blowing!
Only E-Mount/M-Mount & DL Mount support. Sadly no PL or EF...
But I love the idea and hope for similar products or a variant with PL/EF compatibility like the BMPCC and Ursa.
Impeccable video!!!
What lens are you using on the clips when you were inside the abandoned house/warehouse and when you filmed the street, showing the the different shades of lighting in low light?
wow Amazing and Very Very Nice Video Superb 👍👍👌👌💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏....
3:54 - this insane camera has insane rolling shutter btw 😅😜
That looks insane
Now I want one !!!!
I don't have much knowledge about cameras plz one dedicated vdo about this topic from beginner to advance
Not sponsored, but man, this is a hell of an ad for this camera/rig. I mean that in a good way.
Yes!!! I can’t wait to see that action scene you’re hinting at!!! 😱😱😱
That camera looks so sick!
How come you are so awesome Ryan? I wanna review you reviewing the camera. Yes!
So, this is no longer going to be a RAW camera? That's going to be kind of a deal breaker for a lot of people who want to use this for film making. I wonder if patent licensing is expiring. Seems stranger to have it at release, only to kill it off so quickly. Althought, it looks like it might not need to be RAW with how good it seems to be in low light. I would love it if they replaced Prorez RAW with BRAW. Here's hoping. :)
@@SparkysVideoProductions no they removed it before final release and reduce price by $500
This comment should be pinned on top.
@@SparkysVideoProductions you go and check now it was removed a week ago no raw only prores HQ on shipped to customer version with latest firmware
@@SparkysVideoProductions have you even listened to the guy on this video @ 9:05
I haven't watched your channel for a few years don't know really why. Now I am back and it is so great looking back to your projects I was following along. Any updates on Intercept?
that actor was good!
Hi, Ryan! Can you please tell which lenses have you used for the test shot presented?
It doesn't look like you shoot it on DL 2.8, so really wondering, cause it looks amazing
I would love to know the answer to this question also!
Me too!
DJI robot chicken head camera is out of my price range.
Damn I want this camera!!!!
When will the ronin 4D be sold on Amazon?
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. 🎥💪🏼💪🏼🎥
1st tell them to improve the DJI phamtom drone line. Sometimes sensor goes missing...sometimes camera goes blank. Huh
On the website it says that Prores 422 HQ won’t be released till a later firmware update. If that’s the case H.264 remains and it’s only 4.2.0. :(
I am happy with my lumix S5 but this camera ist just insane crazy
Awesome…awesome to the max. 👏
So it's been nearly a year. Did you end up getting one of these for yourself? How often do you use it? What's your long-term verdict?
Be really interesting of you could you the lidar info for VFX work.
This is awesome.
I do wonder how it compares with a sony a7siii usiing catalyst browse post stabilize software (also adding motion blur in post. as you will need to shoot at 1/400th or higher..............or can combine it with a glidecam)
Soooooooo tempting. I have to get away from this camera before I buy it. Wish I could find a low weight macro lens to justify the buy, but attaching and leaving the new GH6 with a light weight macro lens to the Ronin S2 is my solution for now.
Do you know if with the DJI Zenmuse X9 E-Mount Unit could l use the sony 50mm 1.4f zeiss lens with 780g, ? I am not sure but the with sony 24 mm 1.4 GM lens is posibble ,so l am not sure ,
Josh aways going through deep life drama during his acting scenes haha
Looks like a great Camera. But why is the ProRes Raw being replaced by ProRes XQ 4444 ?
Red owns patent on raw. Total bs. Look it up.
I'm hearing the audio quality is not all that great on the 4D. I'm hoping this isn't true, and the upcoming back attachment, with its dual XLR audio inputs will enhance on board audio usability.
Love you programma can you talk about DJI pocket 2 for starter film makers en low budget? Just asking love from Amsterdam
Was wondering when u were going to check this cam ouf
nice review
Great short. The camera is cool. But personally most of what people do is on a tripod. Outside of some stuff most paid work is on a tripod, most dialogue scenes are on a tripod etc. This camera can't do that. So its too expensive for most to just be a specific use camera. Good to rent, but otherwise not much use. At least in my case. When it comes to adapters, those DOF adapters were great, I hated DSLR's. I despised them. I will always prefer a video camera. I like my camcorder, and not having a second camera to get a few shots here and there was great. Don't get me wrong, there are fantastic interchangeable lens camcorders now. But I still need a fixed lens camera for alotta work. I would love to still be able to have my DOF adapter and my camcorder. I would. Tons of iphone shooters are using DOF adapters now and they are sharper than the letus one I have, I wish they made them for camcorders. What is better, one camera you can adapt to everything, or two cameras? Hmm.
Fuaaaa increíble✨📷
umm thats a frickin transformer RY
First 20 seconds of video plays...
Ryan: dji is NOT a sponsor of this video...
Me: Shut up and take my money!!!
Hmmm, a really fascinating thing. Sad, that I can`t use the camera seperately. A German COP mentioned, that it`s a bit heavy for a whole daily shot. Also for 8000.- $ (7000€ 6K version), I could buy a nice cam and a gimbal. So who buys this system with limited lens options? Is it a every day cam tool? Maybe it`s more a special action tool for bigger production companies.
What gimbal has a vertical axis?
@@aliendroneservices6621 I use my old steadycam vest with spring stabilizer. Works perfect.
does this camera allow auto focus feature with those old manual lens?
