Product Description
The DJI Ronin 4D 4-Axis Cinema Camera 8K Combo Kit with DL PZ 17-28mm T3.0 ASPH Lens combines imaging, stabilization, and focusing in a lightweight, uniquely flexible gimbal/camera rig. This 4D X9–8K version pairs the Ronin 4D gimbal with the Zenmuse X9-8K camera, a DJI DL 17-28mm T3.0 lens, a LiDAR range finder, a low-pass filter, and a RAW license that requires activation via DJI; wireless video transmission is available separately. With support for up to 8K60 17:9 video in Apple ProRes RAW, and 8K30 17:9 and 8K75 2.39:1 in ProRes 422 HQ, the X9-8K offers the higher imaging standards required for visual effects, cine-style capture, and broadcasting while reducing your setup time with its all-in-one combination design.
RAW License Key and PROSSD 1TB
The Zenmuse X9-8K supports up to 8K video capture and includes both a RAW license key (requires activation via DJI) and the DJI PROSSD 1TB drive, DJI PROSSD mount, and USB-C high-speed data cable required for raw recording.
DL PZ 17-28mm Lens, Low-Pass Filter
In addition to the RAW license key, the X9-8K Combo includes a DL lens mount and the DJI DL PZ 17-28mm T3.0 ASPH lens plus a built-in OLPF (optical low-pass filter) for maximum color accuracy.
