About DJI Zenmuse X9-8K

Imaging Excellence Redefined

The DJI Ronin 4D 8K Cinema Camera features 8K video at 60fps, a 29MP full-frame sensor with dual native ISO, 14.7 stops of dynamic range, and built-in 9-stop ND filters. It offers unparalleled image quality, exceptional low-light performance, extensive dynamic range, and versatile lens compatibility. This all-in-one solution will empower solo filmmakers and production crews to create high-quality footage, streamline multi-camera setups, and support a wide range of creative visions. DJI's Ronin 4D 8K Combo Kit is promising option to elevate filmmaking experiences and accommodate various production needs with its extensive capabilities and accessories ecosystem.

Integrated Design

DJI Ronin 4D offers a completely unique design. Crafted with carbon fiber and aluminum magnesium, its solid body integrates the imaging, stabilization, and focusing systems, as well as wireless transmission and control. This avoids time-consuming setup and enables quicker shooting.

DJIRONIN48K

Cinematic Imaging System

Processing Power

Ronin 4D is equipped with Zenmuse X9, DJI’s flagship full-frame camera. It also features DJI’s latest image processing system, CineCore 3.0. This system uses DJI’s proprietary chip to provide advanced processor architecture, offering extremely high-performance computing power in a compact cinema camera. CineCore 3.0 allows Ronin 4D to support internal recording of Apple ProRes RAW, ProRes 4444 XQ, ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes 422 LT, and H.264 video. It also supports up to 8K/75fps and 4K/120fps video recording, delivering multiple options for professional-level creation.

DJIRONIN48K

Resolution

DCI 8K (8192×4320)/60fps video retains every little detail, from rich foliage to inspiring architecture, skin texture to strands of hair, all with flawless quality. For those who need to output in 4K, recording in 8K offers unprecedented creative options with more flexibility for cropping, re-composing, and stabilizing videos in post.

DJIRONIN48K

High ISO

Zenmuse X9 supports dual native ISO. X9-8K defaults to EI 320/1600. With Dynamic Range Expansion on, X9-8K can support EI 800/4000, while X9-6K supports EI 800/5000, which records images with exquisite detail and minimal noise, even when filming an evening cityscape or beach, or a scene lit by dim candlelight.

DJIRONIN48K

Dynamic Range

With 14+ stops of dynamic range, Zenmuse X9 delivers natural transitions of highlights and shadows in complex lighting conditions such as backlit scenes and direct sunlight. These traditionally difficult scenes can now be captured easily and with confidence.

DJIRONIN48K

Color Science

DJI Cinema Color Science (DCCS) is a comprehensive system comprising the CineCore image processing platform, the DCCS color engine, D-Gamut color space, and D-Log curve, all culminating from years of imaging experience by DJI. It's designed to unlock the full potential of professional aerial and ground imaging equipment, offering creators more room for creativity and vividly recreating the kaleidoscopic colors seen by the human eye. In addition, X9 supports the industry-standard ACES workflow for effortless compatibility with the color systems of other cinema cameras.

DJIRONIN48K
DJIRONIN48K

Built-In 9-Stop ND Filters

X9 has 9-stop built-in high-quality ND filters (ND 2 to ND 512, or ND 0.3 to ND 2.7) that can be quickly and easily switched thanks to an internal motorized system. These filters were also designed to match and compliment the color science of Ronin 4D.

DJIRONIN48K

DL Prime Lenses

X9’s standard DL mount supports a set of compact full-frame prime lenses. The housings are made of lightweight, monocoque carbon fiber, so each lens weighs just 180 g.

DJIRONIN48K

DL Zoom Lens

In addition to prime lenses, X9 is compatible with DJI’s first cinema zoom lens DL PZ 17-28 mm T3.0 ASPH, which covers ultra-wide to wide-angle focal lengths with a minimum object distance of 0.19 m, delivering ultra-high resolution from center to edge. The lens body is made of magnesium aluminum alloy and weighs only approximately 520 g, making it a perfect match for the X9 gimbal camera from size to weight.

DJIRONIN48K

Interchangeable Mounts

X9 supports interchangeable lens mounts, including DJI’s proprietary DL mount as well as third-party mounts like Leica L, Leica M, Sony E, and ARRI PL (E-mount and PL-mount units are provided by third parties). Ultra-wide, f/0.95 large-aperture, power zoom, macro, and anamorphic lenses that are compatible with traditional cinema cameras also work on X9, providing flexible lens options.

Steady in Every Way

4-Axis Stabilization

DJI Ronin 4D adds a Z-Axis to the traditional 3-axis gimbal, which effectively decreases vertical camera shake and offers stabilization performance on par with a dolly. The four axes work together with a downward ToF sensor, forward and downward dual-visual sensors, a built-in IMU and barometer, and an advanced new algorithm to bring the overall stabilization to a whole new level.

DJIRONIN48K

Integrated Gimbal Camera

Ronin 4D integrates the imaging and stabilization systems while keeping only the sensor and necessary optical components in the gimbal camera. The tilt axis of the gimbal uses dual symmetric motors, whereas both the pan axis and the roll axis are designed with an additional stiffness buffer.

DJIRONIN48K

LiDAR Focusing System

LiDAR Range Measurement

The LiDAR Range Finder can cast up to 43,200 ranging points within a 10-meter detection range. Compared with phase detection autofocus (PDAF), Ronin 4D’s LiDAR Focusing System can focus faster, without compromising the image quality or relying on the surface texture of the subject. This is especially useful in low-light environments and results in exceptional focusing capabilities compared to other cinema cameras.
