The Ronin 4D is determined to shake things up, including our lens choices. Here’s what we’ve learned while working with it.
If you aren’t familiar with the Ronin 4D by now, you should absolutely dive into the realm of what this camera can do. By fully integrating a camera body into a stabilized gimbal system, you can move the camera in new and fascinating ways.
But by putting a full-sized cinema camera body at the back, capable of shooting RAW and interfacing with a larger workflow, DJI didn’t just make a new action camera, they made a new cinema platform.
The biggest question, then, is what lenses can you use? Because there are major limits to the lens equation with this camera.
Check out our video here, then the breakdown for more info.

Since the sensor and lens mount (what we might call an image block) is being stabilized, it needs to be a physically compact lens that is also lightweight. DJI’s lens list seems to top out around 1.1lbs or so.
