Dji RS4 PRO and DJI FOCUS PRO - REVIEW and REAL test !!!

/ bestboyqbic
As usual, I'm super excited to be part of this great moment, which is the launch of the new DJI RONIN RS4, RS4 PRO and Dji Focus Pro.
There are so many Great options, new improvements and also brand new features that it's hard to fit it all in one short video, so I tried my best to include in this review the most important in my opinion, features and updates.
In this episode you will find a lot of useful information about the two new gimbals from DJI , DJI Ronin RS4, DJI Ronin RS4 Pro, and the brand new and first completely independent super versatile DJI Focus PRO kit, which fits perfectly for any kind of film project. I know this for sure because I have tested it in every situation.
I hope you will enjoy the video !!!

Sir, I just want to say that when it comes to Ronins and mounting, you are by far and away my favorite creator. You are concise, smart, and more than anything, SAFE. I feel like there has been a lack of safety as these tools have been given to more and more people. I am 21 and trying to make specialty shots my career (and well on my way to doing so). I respect you and your process so much. Thank you for sharing with all of us

[@BestboyAdam]

thanks man!!! nice to read such comments 🤩

[@kucinghitam9064]

[@houbena]

just want to give a huge shoutout to this channel! It's the only one that's always up-to-date with the latest rig and equipment reviews. Your insights and thorough reviews are incredibly helpful for filmmakers like me. Keep up the amazing work! BIG FAN FROM MOROCCO✌🏼

[@RaymondToms]

A great review, as always. Love my RS3 pro with an FX6, especially with the simple Steadimate adapter to us with my Steadicam rig, rather than getting a Float. But now you have me yearning for the RS4 Pro with the focus system.

[@MrFrancisHilton]

Excellent video as always. Thank you.

[@egon3d]

Hello, awesome video! I have a question... Is it possible to use the lidar subject tracking with a longer zoom lens? like the newer canon 24-105 and have it on 105 mm? For a tighter framing on the subject? Thank you

[@Onechrisscott]

Your last video on the cable hub and setup was very useful. Will you be making a video showing how this could all work on a komodo for example with the cable hub? Do you even need the cable hub anymore?

[@georgeneagu69]

folosind camera foto I really appreciate what you are doing, I would like to see a crane combined with a gimbal, such a video would be perfect!

[@adriancluskey3640]

Great review!

[@BestboyAdam]

thank you Adrian !!

[@NOOBIFIER1337]

Nice video. Thanks

[@priticolours1177]

I appreciate all of the info! where can I find the t bracket to mount the high-bright monitor to the focus pro hand unit?

[@Roman.the.explorer]

Hey Adam, you have done a terrific job reviewing the system, in my opinion the best one so far I found on the internet. Question for you- if you were to compare the AF from the lidar to something like the AF on R5 or FX3, would you say its as "sticky" or its more of a Nikon situation where the AF has issues sometimes. Thanks!

[@VoidedVisuals]

Does it have the Dolly zoom option? Because the Rs3 took that away when the rs2 had it

[@ewandonnachie3001]

Do you know if there will be any way to make the grip speak wirelessly to the gimbal, lidar and DJI motors? Seems like a limitation that the grips needs to be hard-wired to communicate with anything. Perhaps that wireless link could be done via high-bright monitor, so it performs similarly to a R4D handgrip, but with the ability to control lidar via the grip's touch-screen and also be more affordable than 2 x R4D grips?

[@motokorcle]

Wow, I want one!

[@nelsonbustamante8756]

Would the lidar be compatible with the ronin 4d?

[@daltonbrowne7980]

8:31 Adam, can you give the names of the parts you used to modify the mounting? I’d love to be able to mount this to my 15mm rods the way you have it configured.

[@AlexeyOrlov-CINE]

Hi Adam, Love your videos! Does the DJI Focus Pro hand grip have hard stops on the focus wheel? Similar to the Tilta Nucleus M or does it spin continuously? Sorry I haven't been able to find any information online about that.

[@sonofthesea]

Great explanation thank you

[@BestboyAdam]

👌

[@bhaveshchauhan]

Thanks for this very in-depth review! Question, will the older DJI LiDAR Range Finder still work with the RS 4 Pro? Will I have any cable/power management issues if I use the old LiDAR Range Finder+Transmission+RS 4 Pro?

[@SomewhatAbnormal]

Ug! I'm still using the Ronin 2 Pro, and now I'm feeling like I really need to upgrade.

[@BestboyAdam]

😃 !!

[@kingvulture5730]

Is there a video for wht u used to put camera and gimbal together..I have the Komodo x and I see yall are putting the battery in other places

[@alexlubensky]

Hey Adam, did You try using the new hand unit/pro grip with the "old" transmission system and monitor? My question is - does it allow tap to focus functionality using the transmission system or the cable hub + high bright monitor?

[@AN_films]

does this system can replace de 4D handle to contre the RS3 pro and focus zoom iris with the transmission system

[@nikkoarnado6521]

Hey Adam which gimbal would you use for Tamron 35-150 and ZV-E1? Regular RS4 or do you think RS4 Pro would have more stable footage?

[@Kayserjp]

i think i know every videographer on youtube but you are the most professional, advanced, leading camera guy here

[@BestboyAdam]

thanks !!! you don't even know how cool it is to read such a comment !!! My pleasure !!!💪🦾

[@airfilm_it]

Regarding Ronin2 compatibility, i always need to use the focus pro handle on the Ronin2?

[@Ravenwoodring]

Well done my friend!!

[@BestboyAdam]

thanks man !!!

[@PizzlesTechTime]

I'm still trying to figure out if the Rs four pro combo comes with the lidar? Some of the youtubers were making it seem that way. But on DJI's website, I'm not seeing that So if I have the RS2 pro combo, would I be able to get the focus pro combo and switch the handles?.

[@zhongjiezheng4646]

That closing line hit hard tho

[@VIPAH]

It's good that you can use the DJI TX/RX combo for the RS4Pro, instead of the ravenEye. Using the Ronin 4D monitor as the receiver to pull focus comes in handy as well. Seems like there is a lot more integration between DJI and Tilta. Thanks for the review Adam! 👍

[@BestboyAdam]

*💪🦾*

[@mikep8009]

How do you get those focus marks on the right hand side of the transmission monitor?

[@12yfilms]

Wow! That's one hell of a test. Thank you for sharing!

[@BestboyAdam]

[@djMOSHEmc]

Is there a link to the New transmission hub cable? Can’t seem to find it on the dji site…

is the new focus module compatible with the RS4 or do you need the focus pro or RS4 pro?

Do you know if the DZOFilm Vespid Cyber lenses work with the new RS4 Pro?

Hello Boss i can’t find New version of Dji focus motor+ Lidar hub cable where from i can get and what is actually name of hub ?

[@videokadr7112]

Hello, I watched some of your videos on YT about DJI Ronin. I'm just starting with them. Tell me, if I have Ronin RS2 DJI transmission and Sony A7iii, is it possible to control the Ronin and control SONY parameters? And how to do it?

[@Ukanio91]

Fajnie, że ktoś w kraju dostał go na testy. Gratulacje :)

[@BestboyAdam]

dzięki !!!!

[@RadomirRytych]

Dobry film! Mam pytanie. Czy rączka z extension base (pokrętło) będzie mogła po kablu sterować silnikiem focusa z zestawu combo? Rs4 pro. Pozdrawiam i zazdroszczę kupy sprzętu :)))

[@joaquinperalba1624]

Does the lidar work with haze/fog? I heard it doesn’t. Thanks.

[@Raygin]

Where'd you get the new cable adapter at 9:20 ? I've been searching for over an hour but I can't find it anywhere on the internet o.o

[@airfilm_it]

i would like to buy the Focus pro, is it compatible with my RS2? i need to use it with my movi pro too!

[@Nynex]

How would the Focus Pro work using the Ronin rs2 mini using manual lenses? As a solo shooter Ive been waiting for an update. This looks promising

[@msr3995]

I have the Ronin 4d do I still need to get focus pro

[@airfilm_it]

Any differences between this new lidar and ronin 4d lidar?

[@MStoica]

06:46 that looks like the Tilta Float?…. But I don’t recognize the vest. I saw an older video of yours (I think it’s roughly 3y old) in which you reviewed the Tilta Float, but the vest looked very different (was looking more like a more advanced waist strap/belt than a vest). Did they improve it in the mean time, and it’s the vest that I see here in this video, or is it something else?

[@fromtherange]

Are you going above the 10lbs (4.5kg) with any of these rigs on the RS4 Pro? I want to fly a 10mm ultra prime with a c70 on one and that combo without motors is right at 9lbs...

[@Metalbird1997]

Amazing video, really looking forward to the next tutorials about the Focus Pro. I've looked into setting DJI LIDAR up on a shoulder-rig RED V-RAPTOR but this looks like the better way now. What do I need to connect the Focus Pro to the V-Raptor and DJI Transmission? The Focus Pro, a Focus Pro Grip, Focus Motor, DJI Transmission? And also a cable hub? Can I power the grip battery off D-TAP?

[@BestboyAdam]

Thanks man! glad you liked the video. There are several configurations , but the simplest is focus pro grip, Lidar sensor, and FIZ motors. If you have dji transmissions then you only need Cable Hub , sensor and motors. Focus pro grip has its own dedicated battery (same as RS) but with Tiltaor DJI adapter you can power it from V-lock too.

[@enriquesubias]

Was looking for your review, you always tell something else others miss! I wouldn't mind longer videos. Is the Car Mode stabilization in the DJI RS4? or is it only available on the Pro?

[@BestboyAdam]

Thanks man !!! love to hear that !! / car mode only rs4pro :/

[@ToddJasonFilms]

What Arri has for accessories with Alexa's, DJI has created for all other cameras, now imagine the wireless video transmission and focus pro with Blackmagic's newest Ursa Cine.

[@user-uc8on5dl3d]

Does ActiveTrack Pro only work with RS4 pro, not RS4?

[@schmidchris]

Very nice and interesting video Adam! Great job on the different rig. Looking forward to watching the setup for the R2, quite curious about it. Just a quick one: how did you power the focus motors from the R2? Cheers, Chris

[@BestboyAdam]

Thanks Chris ! 💪 (The kit came with a p-tap to usb-c cable, so I powered it straight from the connector on the R2 )

[@schmidchris]

@@BestboyAdam Awesome, thanks Adam! So yep easy to plug.

[@Sushanttechworld]

Do the the new rs4 pro and rs4 still need dji gps module for better horizon leveling while taking car tracking shots?

[@BestboyAdam]

During my tests , I did not use an external gps, and everything looks ok, while it certainly needs more tests

[@CerneStudios]

Just want that new lidar on the 4d

[@msvideos24]

DJI Focus Pro LiDAR Range Finder for RS 4 Pro release date?

[@MusthafaAboobacker]

Just need to watch your review. Nothing else required. Not even DJI official video

[@BestboyAdam]

🤩 thanks man !!

[@PNWVISUALFILMS]

Totally agree. You have a website for your work and such?

[@bobbyjones2591]

Bestboy Adam I discovered a safety mount bracket today that works with the RS4 Pro. I will be putting out a video on my other channel in the next couple days, which I will send you a link too.

[@BestboyAdam]

They all work with RS4Pro, the problem is RS4 ;)

[@bocusfocus9714]

Did you have any trouble balancing the Komodo on the RS4 Pro? Any need for counterweights?

[@BestboyAdam]

I used a counterweight, but only because I had a mattebox with a variable ND

[@persvanstrom]

Do you know if you can use the new Focus Motors with the Advanced Ring Grip? Preferably two of them

[@BestboyAdam]

Of course you can , why not?

[@persvanstrom]

@@BestboyAdam I got from Tilta only one motor will work. Then you need Nano for an additional motor. Made me unsure. And thank you

[@krzysztofrodzik5343]

Adam how your kit have 3 motors? The DJI Focus Pro All-In-One Combo come with one motor?

[@BestboyAdam]

it seems to me that you need to order extra motors

[@CrimzonRX]

Have you tried the new focusnmodule with the ronin 4d?

[@BestboyAdam]

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to do it yet !!!

[@GUILAINGRENIER]

great work as usual. can we set-up custom joystick modes / parameters for all 3 modes like we could with the rs2 ?

[@BestboyAdam]

I think so, but I haven't checked it yet. You know a lot of new options to check.

[@GUILAINGRENIER]

@@BestboyAdam thanks, if you ever get a chance to check just let me know. keep up the good work !

[@giannisglikiotis]

6:46 is that the titla float post? Also what batteries are those in the bottom?

[@BestboyAdam]

it is my "combined" post, and TB 50 batteries

[@frasertomsfilm]

I was curious about the app - I wonder if you get waveform "top down" feedback via the app? I know ou have the high bright monitor so it probably didn't occur to check it out, but sometimes I use an ipad air for the ronin ap for additional controls and it would be really sweet if it did have the function! ... 2nd, I know the rs2 and 3 didn't have this simple function: you could do a timelapse w/ focus points programmed as waypoints, but setting up a tracking shot with waypoints you could NOT add focus points which was a huge missed opportunity. An example is you could setup a shot where you program pan and tilt from one character to another at different distances - but would be great to be able to program the focus too (which you CAN do for timelapse mode) I doubt rs4 changed that as it's not an immediately obvious cool feature. Cheers!

[@BestboyAdam]

you know what, I haven't checked it out yet, but what you are talking about actually would be a great option. I will try to check it out as soon as possible ! Great idea !!

[@definingslawek4731]

Why get the larger battery handle instead of powering the ronin from v mount?

[@BestboyAdam]

For quick projects where you don't have time for adapters, mounts etc.

[@TheHamboneGroup]

Looks like it's time to finally buy the lidar unit

[@BestboyAdam]

highly recommends, I don't move from home without it 🤩

[@JacobWilson-jf2jz]

Hey @bestboyadam - I can't find this information anywhere, does the Ronin 4D handgrip knob rotate on its own in AMF mode the way the focus pro grip does when using the lidar module?

[@xXGEN3RALXx]

Id love to know that as well.

[@xXGEN3RALXx]

Or if the 4d knob works with the motor period

[@xXGEN3RALXx]

Or if it works period.

[@robertfeliciano5723]

@11:24 Which Segway are you using and do you recommend it? Also, great overview.

[@RaymondToms]

That is a Segway Ninebot. Great little unit. Knee steering control. Fine for lighter setups and a fraction of the cost of the full size Segway when modified for filmmaking. Love mine.

[@BestboyAdam]

@@RaymondToms exactly like Raymond says. Seagway Ninebot the best option on the market !! :)

but lidar is not included in rs4 pro combo, but it was included in rs3 pro combo?

[@olivierjobin8558]

will the new lidar sensor be compatible with the Ronin4D?

[@BestboyAdam]

I'll check it

[@olivierjobin8558]

Would be pretty awesome to get more performance as the specs are much better than the original lidar! @@BestboyAdam

[@iacovos]

How much better would you say the stabilization of the RS4 is when compared with the RS2?

[@BestboyAdam]

It's hard for me to describe it in %, but I think with a big heavy camera (komodo/pocket 6k pro or similar) it's in my opinion about 30 % better stabilization

[@iacovos]

@@BestboyAdam For small setups like the a7s iii, do you think the Pro would offer better stabilization vs the regular RS4? Thanks

[@JohnBaldwin-Fieldwork]

Will the new lidar and focus/zoom accessories work with the RS3 pro?

[@prostigeMarketing]

I just saw on the dji website it's compatible with rs3 pro as well, but it's currently sold out.

[@BestboyAdam]

Since DJI says it works , it probably is :) but I haven't checked it yet

[@pr1sm55]

Is it REALLY worth upgrading to the RS4 Pro coming from the RS3 Pro?

[@BestboyAdam]

Like I said in the video, it depends on how you use the Gimbal

[@spdcrzy]

The RS4 Pro got a lot less hype than the RS3 Pro did I think mostly because it was actually made for more professional operators as opposed to amateurs (who were the original target demographic). I feel like their new accessories reflect that - all professional pieces, meant for flexibility rather than a one-man band just getting started for the first time.

[@BestboyAdam]

RS 4 Pro, here you are certainly quite right. I think that if someone who is just starting the adventure of filming, may think that these things are too complicated. Nevertheless, it all just seems complicated, in fact each of these gimbals and their accessories are quite easy to use, but the fact is that you need some time to get familiar with it.

Adamie, czy Twoim zdaniem za pomocą obecnej w nim automatyzacji sprawdzi się przy braku drugiego operatora, można śmiało zostawić go podpiętego na jakiejś konferencji pod sceną, żeby śledził przykładowo prowadzącego na jakiejś ogniskowej typu 200?

[@BestboyAdam]

Hej, myślałem nawet o tym żeby tego spróbować gdzieś na jakimś wydarzeniu live. Na pewno jest to jakaś opcja, niemniej nie próbowałbym tego z główną kamerą bo wystarczy że ktoś na dłuzej stanie w kadrze i Lidar zapomnie kogo śledził. Ogniskowa nie ma tutaj większego znaczenia bo Lidar sugeruje się tylko swoją kamerą, ale przy ogniskowej 200 może nie zawsze dobrze trafiać.
