@bigtre Жыл бұрын
The sad truth is they are going to release a newer version that adds all of the features that the original camera is missing. Dji products never have a long shelf life because they make new cameras, drones almost every year. I bought a Mavic 3 and it took almost a year to get all the features that were promised originally. The 4d is a excellent camera, but you should sell it while it still has most of its value! I definitely sold the drone while it was still new. Thanks for another great video!

We've been using this camera for about 6 months, and for a small crew like us we could not replace it with anything else. Paired with vintage lenses or small anamorphic like Laowa Nanomorph, it's just a beast and really changed our workflow in terms of setup and breakdown. No more fiddling around with follow focus, wireless, power and data cables.. This you can just pull it out from the case and its ready to go. Personally I'm just waiting for the 3-channel follow focus, hope they release that soon. I don't care about xlr module because we just use an external recorder and just has better pre-amps. About the bag, I would reccomend you the Tenba Cineluxe Roller 24 Bag. The 4d fits all rigged up, with 2x wireless monitors, couple of lenses and extra batteries.

I had the opportunity to work this camera on a couple shoots. Really enjoy it and honestly think it's a taste of something I'd like to see more of in the future. That said, I do most of the purchasing recommendations for the commercial production department of local TV station, and I can't make the recommendation of buying into it on this generation. Which sucks because I'd really like to, but until we see DJI's level of support and investment into the system I can't make bets on it that are going to have to pay off 5 to 10 years from now. I really hope DJI sticks with this system because the main thing it needs to prove itself in the marketplace is time.

DJI have had many restrictions placed on their commercial activities since they announced the 4D; we're talking being banned from trade shows or blacklisted in several territories not to mention the tightening of drone regulations that have deterred if not effectively grounded many pilots. Certainly it is smaller (and presumably less profitable) consumer drones that suddenly seem to be the order of the day. This has to have negatively affected their projected turnover. So, even though I remain puzzled by some of the delays (it was months before I could get extra control handles, for example), I can't be too hard on them without knowing their challenges. Like you said, I bought the 4D for what the camera was and consider what I might be able to do with it in the future to be sugar on top. Chinese compatriots Tilta already weighed in with a few accessories, so maybe they and third parties from countries which don't regard DJI as persona non grata will increase their support.

Thank you for doing this one year review of the Ronan 4D Chris. I have been following the development of this camera platform (Or lack of development ?) since the Ronan 4D's initial release last year. There was a great deal of heavy blitz publicity courtesy of DJI and then suddenly "the big clam up." When a company suddenly makes a Left turn with a product, then you can be rest assured there's a big problem. From listening to you talk, it sounds like you may not know the reason why DJI has so suddenly gone silent with the Ronan 4D ? RED has an exclusive Patent of RAW digital Video recording technology. Many in our industry think RED should never have been granted such an exclusive and all encompassing patent for RAW recording technology as they have been given. DJI was approached by RED and told to remove the RAW recording capabilities of the Ronan 4D, or face legal proceedings on the basis of Patent infringement.🤔For many in the professional Cinema Industry world wide, the lack of a RAW recording capability is a deal breaker. Therefore, this product has been ruined by RED ! The camera is for all intensive purposes a boat anker ! As far as I am concerned, I would still consider purchasing the Ronan 4D even if DJI fails to follow through with the 8K version (Which is the one I have been waiting for to purchase), and even though the camera can no longer shoot in RAW format (If you didn't do any firmware updates, then you still have this capability if you own an originally first released 6K Ronan 4D !) DON'T DO ANY FIRMWARE UPDATES TO YOUR RONAN 4D FROM ORIGINAL RELEASED CAMERA FIRMWARE, OR YOU WILL HAVE THE RAW FEATURE REMOVED ! There is also the risc that if you do shoot a commercial production with a Ronan 4D in RAW, then RED could come after you legally. RED has been quite aggressive in pursuing any company legally which has tried to violate their stranglehold on in camera RAW recording. Nikon is fighting RED's patent claims on RAW in camera recording in court. There is one other company also fighting RED in court as well. The chances of DJI pulling out and cutting their losses versus taking a protracted wait and see stance to see how Nikon fairs in court is not small. I think you have a collector's item there. I hope to collect a Ronan 4D for myself in 8K, but barring that eventuality, I will snap up a 6K as soon as possible before there's none left ! The Ronan 4D is an amazing piece of technology. 👍

You know when this camera came out and I started drooling over it. I wanted to invest into something that I could use it in multiple ways and having a built-in gimbal truly impressed me. Everybody was raving about it and they were all pre-production models. so I knew everybody was pre-ordering it, and it was gonna be a couple more months before I would know more about it. So I waited and really never heard much more about it. A lot of the stuff I thought came with it, does not. And even after a year like you have owned it. There’s still not too much talk about this camera. I am a professional photographer that wants to get into the video side. But I think I will pick up a Sony FX6because I am so invested into the Sony ecosystem already. But don’t get me wrong this DJI ronin 4D still is a unique bad ass camera. But I don’t think it will be for me. It might be overkill.

I am reluctant to buy anything DJI having experienced many of their products, starting with the original Ronin. There are little to no legacy product users under the DJI banner for two reasons - proprietary power systems and reliance on app support for critical systems. For half the price of the 4D I can buy a PCC6K Pro/Ronin RS3 combo and basically get the same system, only I get BRAW, EF lens mount with decades of available glass and the ability to go straight hand held with the 6K in some situations, utilizing the gyro stabilization in DaVinci Resolve, reducing the weight and bulk of my rig on fast-paced shoots. BMD should pay me for all the free advertising I give them, but I just love the platform and can't stop recommending it to anyone I meet.

@alanoakley3242 Жыл бұрын
It was certainly compromised but "dead" may be a stretch. You may be referring to the ProRes RAW codec DJI initially promised but were forced to withdraw (with a small reduction in the purchase price). It was included on early examples (my 4D was purchased in March 2022) but the act of registering and activating the camera included a mandatory firmware update which removed it. RED are also suing Nikon, who they claim have breached their patent by including ProRes RAW (HQ 12-bit) on their Z9. Amazingly, RED's patent not only precludes other manufacturers from offering ProRes RAW but also any similar RAW compression in the future, plenty of people have Z9s in their hands already, myself included, so if RED wins its case, we'll all still have ProRes RAW and its hard for me to see what anyone could do about it if we stick to the current firmware.

I am curious about the tilta float you're using. On their website I see multiple options: the handheld, the dual handheld and the gimbal support system. Which one do you have and do you think I will, like you, protect my back with the Tilta Float Handheld Support System for $999? It seems like the two more expensive options aren't necessary and the funds rather go into the shoulder strap. Cheers, Oli 🤙🏾 PS: I'd love to see more of your work you've shot with the ronin.

Hi Chris! Thank you for this video! I follow your channel since I am on a similar journey as you professionally but in a different region of the world. I wanted to ask you if I were to invest and buy the RONIN 4D, are there things you wish you had known or thought about before buying it? And especially with the knowledge you now posses having it for about a year. Thanks 😊. Things maybe you haven’t mentioned in the video?

I would get in the FB group and look at common problems or solutions! This thing is HEAVY but very cool! I love having the ability to AF as well. I would look into a good carrying case as well! Transport is important as this thing is fragile!

I actually just put mine on eBay :-( All points agreed the thing it does good it's unmatched. I just think it's more than what I need at this point. This video will really impact my ability to sell lol
