DJI Ronin 4D to get Apple ProRes 4444 XQ & L-Mount Support


As of August this year, the DJI Ronin 4D will support the Apple ProRes 4444 XQ codec, which is the highest-quality version of Apple ProRes. This is undoubtedly to make up for having ProRes RAW pulled from the DJI Ronin 4D before it ever shipped.

DJI is also introducing the Zenmuse X9 Extension Cable. With this cable, the Zenmuse X9 gimbal camera can be used separately from the body of Ronin 4D, helping cinematographers navigate more complex and diverse scenes while reducing approximately 80% of the weight they need to carry around, allowing for a more versatile and flexible filming experience.

DJI has also officially become a member of the L-Mount Alliance and has partnered with Leica to introduce the exclusive Zenmuse X9 L-Mount Unit, enabling Ronin 4D users to fit Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma L-Mount lenses onto their cameras.
