Ronin 4D: bhpho.to/3Yx4lvR
This camera has evolved overnight! This is the Ronin 4D Flex, a true game changer of a camera mod. The DJI Ronin 4D Flex creates an amazing solo operator cinema camera experience. Right now, this is my favorite camera to work with. A true small team's dream camera. This may just be the camera to beat in 2023, because this camera setup is insane! This might just be the most impressive camera.

It feels good to see the Ronin 4D alive and well! I really hope this thing continues grow! What would you like to see be added to this camera??
I would definitely like to see drone compatibility.
Question though, I currently only have one camera that is older that I know I need to upgrade for business purposes (Canon sl2/ 200D). I been debating & wondering if I should save up for this all in one system as it has many features such as wireless transmission ect. that I don't currently own or start with a less expensive camera a Sony A7Viiii & gradually build it out?
I would like to see Mr.beast giving me this thing lol
I wanna see another zoom lens maybe a 35-50 T2.2 and also maybe a 90-120 T2.2
Used it on my feature last year. Loved it so much I bought one. Now it will be tested on 13 episodes of TV. The flex/Tilta setup is the answer for us. Thanks for the great review.
love the Z axis on my 4D. Debating the flex for tight spaces and remote operation. I used a basic ez rig on a shoot and that helped alot with an all day shoot and allowed me to keep the Z axis in play.
Haven't checked up on your channel in a while, good stuff man! Love seeing that you're collaborating with DJI some too!
Its really cool that DJI reached out to you. Also been thinking about a 4d since I seen your previous vidwo on this beast of a camera!!!
Also, I do believe I seen @Potatojet had connected 2 of the flex cables together and mounted the head as a 9ft pole cam!!!! So no worries my tall dude!!! Spud came in with the length hack!
Another awesome informative vid!
Thanks
Well thought out and comprehensive review. Thanks for that and keep up the awesome work
Great video. Thanks! I got the email announcing the flex but didn't really pay attention. After watching your video, I'm thinking it's a must-have. I was doing video on a tripod-mounted Canon 5D MkIV and my iPhone 12 with a DJI gimbal. 😁 I was getting ready to get the RS2 Pro when I saw the 4D. It was a huge pivot and investment for me, but I went for it and have absolutely no regrets. I love pretty much everything about that camera except lugging it around for 6-8 hours. So... the flex is happening. Also, I went on their site to check the price and noticed they also now sell the license to unlock RAW ($979).
Very tempting. This kinda finishes out the concept of this camera. And the zoom? Shoot in 4k and get even more reach. Oh it's getting there! Great vid.
Nice breakdown Chris, really helpful info!
Yo bro I watched ya last video on this when it dropped and I'm hyped DJI recognized you for your efforts. Love ya content btw
Much love!! Yeah it was kinda wild that they actually reached out!
Chris! Soooo here you go! 😂 my flex arrives next week. First… another great video and thank you. The reason why I do is because I relate to a couple of situations you share. One being that I had the same situation that tempted me to wrestle with and then pull the trigger to purchase the 4D. I thought it was going to be a looooooong night of regret after, but it wasn’t. The camera is an awesome addition tool for me and what I do as a documentarian. Especially on my current project…. Stay tuned! Fast forward you and another brought concern about a valid concern in regard to DJI’s commitment to the 4D. Then maybe a day or 2 later there’s the DL PZ 17-28mm lens and the Flex!!! Again “thank you”… my only slight frustration is not getting the DJI bright video monitor. Everywhere sold out 😡
Your video about this camera came up in my feed a few days ago! As soon as I started to see other CZcamsrs talk about the upgrades... I remembered you! Keep up the great work! It's good to see you here on these CZcamss! 💪🏾💪🏾
Yoooo!! Thank you so much! The timing of that video was wild! Excited to see more people check out the camera!
the same goes for me ! very good timing
12:20 straight up predicted the future right there, you might be onto something
I feel the same bro! I love my R4D!! 🎥🔥
i just watched your video on r4d not getting update a few days back. The news of r4d getting updates really made me curious of your reaction. I'm happy for you 😆
Right?! This is literally the upgrade I was looking for!! 🙌🏾 no more back pain lol
This video helped me decide to purchase the 4d 8K and all the accessories. Almost $18,000. My biggest hang up was if DJI will continue to develop and add accessories…and they have. Cheers.
Great video and while this camera is not for me your review was very informative.
Great Video... It is Crazy how much Tech is turning heads...
i wanted to ask.. i saw in this video you was using a "Wireless Transmission System"... at 16m 02sec Timeline...
How are the DZOfilm lenses working on your system? I eventually wanna get the Ronin 4D as I have used it and loved it. I also love the DZO lenses. I can't remember if you previous video had an adapter to make the lens compatible
First you are an amazing person and creator I admire your dedication and passion for art but I also must be real! I think DJi should throw in the towel on this! Yes it’s in a revamped stage but what happens after, it’s back to the shelf! It’s like doing a project on your Cinema camera wanting specs of a next brand and after you finish the project! Your camera brand decides to send a firmware update and you are like damn!
Hello Chris,
Thank you for your great videos.
Can the Ronin 4D Open Gate?
I saw in your video that you are with a
small anarmorhen lines. Does that work well?
the Ronin 4D?
PS: What I miss most about the Ronin 4D is B-RAW,
that would be the perfect complement to Divinci-Resolve.
Best regards from Germany
great video. good job. for the storage you need the pgytech Ronin4d flex backpack its great I order it its amazing.
Another great video! Looking to upgrade from an A7iii and have constantly been drawn back and forth between the 4D and the RED komodo. Primarily do band work and weddings. Would love to hear yours, and others thoughts in the comments if they have ever used either in that type of work!
Total overkill for weddings. You’re just being tricked by what CZcamsrs say. Get a Sony FX3 or A7siii.
@@rorycowieson5924 have an fx3 coming in tomorrow for video and an a7r5 for photo!
@@andrewentrekin9985 excellent choices! You won’t be disappointed.
I think this will be dope for weddings
I just noticed the High-Bright Remote monitor has been marked as Discontinued on B&H and Backordered on Adorama. It's still available on DJI's store but now I'm wondering if there is a 2nd gen coming. I know there were some latency issues people were complaining about. I hope it's not going away, though. Anyone hear anything about it?
Hey Chris! Your videos definitely helped me in my Ronin 4D buying decision so thank you! I had a quick question. Are you able to keep the counterweight on with the 17-28? I have a set of DZO's and want my swapping to be as quick as it can be. Thanks again!
Was looking for your thoughts on this given your recent video 🙏🙏🙏
Had to make an update! Very very happy about this development!
Can’t wait to see what kind of creative ideas this unlocks. All the best Chris 🙏
By the way, I believe you can connect two of those cables if you find it too short.
I think they did make a bag specifically for the flex system I saw someone with one
Seems like inspire 3 is coming. Maybe your system will expand in a few days.
Are you doing any talking head stuff or gigs that require two cameras and how are you then matching footage?
Good morning…. What is the tabletop tripod you have on the Flex and Camera?
Do you prefer to run with the Ronin on your back or have the whole system on the float arm so you can get the Z-axis back??
Chris, have you seen or heard about what's happening with the Ronan 4D *8K Version ?* Has this version of the Ronan 4D been released yet ? I understood that it had been released, yet I can't locate any available stock in retail channels as of yet, and I haven't been able to find any test footage from the 8K Head on CZcams ? I will search again, as something might have escaped by searches.
Who makes the camera mount around your waste? I really like that setup, and have the flex cable coming tomorrow.
Tilta Float!
I've heard the frame rates and aspect formatting and various crops and file type combos is a massive headache. How do you deal with that?
Please show us how you use it on shoots
that hair!
Is it possible to get audio with the flex??
I’m seeing every CZcams with this camera ,
Any word on the XLR expansion? Audio is currently trash and that's killing my production usability for livestreams
Should be released by May hopefully
No clue personally! Hopefully in May
sorry dude what lens adapter are you using for the vespid? thx
DZO octopus adapter!
4D one wheel gang ;)
Are you going to buy the Pro Res Raw license?
I will not! I use Resolve and Resolve does not support it natively!
I would actually loooooove a 2tb SSD
Hi Chris, i'm a Red Komodo owner and would like to test a Dji Ronin 4D raw clip on Davinci Resolve, do U know here to find any?
Thanks
Make Art Now has some I believe!
@@ChrisFranklinJr Thank U Chris, already send him request... will wait. Do U think Dji will fix that annoy format 2.39:1 for some fps?
The camera reminds me of a brontosaurus with a long wobbly neck and head.
I wish I could afford the Ronin 4D
to bad Proress raw not in da Vinci yet smh
ok, but you just lost the 4th axis with that umbilical cord
Sorry, but let’s be real… they’re already trying to create something it’s not by adding a overprice cable… It’s dead in the water and they’re just trying to revamp it.
I think Chris's use is actually an edge case for the flex cable, the cable normally would be used to put a high-quality camera in places that it normally can't go. You lose one of the stabilizers when detaching onto the cable, so I don't think a run-and-gun backpack setup makes the most sense to leverage the benefits of the regular build. But I've seen some awesome uses of this cable for car mounts and boom pole mounts, etc.
Literally makes no sense 😂 so if they don’t add on people like you cry that it’s dead too 😂 you just love to hate
Yeah, the cable is expensive, however the cable for the Sony Venice cost more than the Ronin 4D camera+all accessories.
@@qiyuxuan9437 I totally agree but, the DJI Ronin 4D is no Sony Venice....
@@ThaGhettoBlaster No hate, just truth.
