NFS Selects: The Much Talked-About DJI Ronin 4D 4-Axis Cinema Camera Is Now In Stock | No Film School

B&H just updated the listing for the 6K version of the DJI Ronin 4D 4-Axis Cinema Camera, currently making it available in limited quantities as the global supply chain shortage still seems to be taking its toll.

For those lucky few that get a chance to pick up the DJI Ronin 4D, it'll be a unique experience shooting with a cinema camera that's actually a gimbal. Or perhaps it's a gimbal that's actually a cinema camera? Take a look for yourself and let us know in the comments.

The 6K DJI Ronin 4D 4-Axis Cinema Camera

The Ronin 4D has been designed for both solo use by independent creators and dynamic pro video capturers in an all-in-one camera/gimbal package. The "4D" designation refers to the Z-axis (vertical) stabilization built into the X9-6K camera and the three-axis gimbal stabilization. It's also made from lightweight carbon fiber and an aluminum/magnesium alloy, making this system a solid choice for independent content creators, indie filmmakers, and event videographers.

Recording options will be available up to 6K60 in Apple ProRes 422 HQ in order to support Ronin's CineCore 3.0 image processing system with ACES workflow support. The 4D would also be an excellent "B" or 2nd unit camera for larger narrative productions.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
