DJI Ronin 4D-8K combo introduces the new Zenmuse X9-8K gimbal camera module. This equips the Ronin 4D with up to 8K 60fps (or 8K 75fps in 2.39:1), and 4K 120fps full-frame video in ProRes RAW. Furthermore, the Zenmuse X9-8K includes 9-stop built-in ND filter, and it is compatible with the LiDAR focusing system. The Ronin 4D-8K combo is available for $12,838. It is hard to believe, but DJI’s 4-axis stabilized cinema camera – the Ronin 4D – has been with us for over two years already. Announced back in October 2021, the Ronin 4D initially only came out with the Zenmuse X9-6K camera head. DJI was, however, always marketing the camera as being 8K-capable as well (with the 8K version coming later). Well, that moment is finally here as DJI today officially announces the Ronin 4D-8K with the new Zenmuse X9-8K camera head. Let’s take a look at the details.

In fact, as DJI clarified right away, the Inspire 3 features a lighter version called Zenmuse X9-8K Air. It took another 7 months for the Zenmuse X9-8K to finally come to the Ronin 4D.
