The gimbal/camera hybrid takes the next step in its evolution.
When the DJI Ronin 4D came out, it was met with either wide-eyed excitement or pure skepticism. The gimbal/camera hybrid was a new take on what a cinema camera could be and allowed cinematographers to get the best of both worlds.
Now, DJI is taking a page from Sony’s playbook and is implementing a tether system to disconnect the gimbal and camera unit from the body that actually does the processing, much like what the Sony Venice Rialto system does.
Here’s why the DJI Ronin 4D Flex is so cool and why filmmakers at all budget levels should pay attention.
