In a tweet from earlier today, DJI published a specifications update for the Ronin 4D. The company says that unlike previously reported (and unlike reviewed by us, using ProRes RAW) the camera system will not have the internal ProRes RAW recording capability at launch. Instead, DJI will add ProRes 4444 XQ with a future firmware update later in 2022 and they lowered the price for the Ronin 4D-6K to $6,799. Only two days ago we informed you about the two upcoming firmware updates for the DJI Ronin 4D (check our review and lab test). The unique 4-axis stabilized camera system from the Chinese tech giant was introduced in October last year, but DJI seemed to have delayed the shipping of pre-ordered units. The first units of the DJI Ronin 4D with the Zenmuse X9-6K should be starting to ship in the coming days, but there seems to be some bad news coming: The Ronin 4D will not have the internal ProRes RAW recording. The internal ProRes RAW recording capability was among the most anticipated features of the system, but now it seems DJI will not be able to offer it as part of the Ronin 4D package. Today, DJI released a tweet labeled “Global Release and Specifications Update”. The company says that the Ronin 4D-6K units will start shipping on February 16, 2022. pic.twitter.com/eyxI3wmOQX— DJI (@DJIGlobal) February 14, 2022 The lack of ProRes RAW is a disappointment, but let’s look take a closer look at the good news first.
