It can also record proxy video at up to 1080/60p via the built-in microSD card slot, though that function was not enabled in my review unit. To do that, you can remove the left and right grips normally used on the camera and attach them to the screen. It lets you not only view video but control many camera and gimbal functions from up to 20,000 away. ![]() You also have the option to mount an optional $399 transmitter at the back that relays video to the High-Bright 7-inch, 1,500 nit remote monitor that’s also optional ($1,699). It also has a focus assist button and AF lock button, while the trigger either locks the Z arm or activates/deactivates it with a double press. Doing that also ingeniously changes the wheel’s operation from smooth to “clicky” with distinct detents. The right handle has a large wheel that’s primarily used for focus, but also changes camera settings like the ND filter, shutter speed and iris when you hit the “mode” button. Finally, there’s another sport mode button on the inside of the handle. The exposure button brings up the waveform, zebra and other tools depending on what you have selected, while the trigger button locks the gimbal or centers it with a double press. The left grip has a joystick to move the main gimbal up and down or side to side, along with buttons for focus and gimbal tracking. Both attach via a quick-release lever, and you can change the angle to adapt to your working style with another clever lever – even while you’re holding on to it. Power, media, gimbal and other controls are on the left. Camera settings like f-stop and shutter speed are found along the top and bottom of the display. It can be operated either via touch or with the 14 manual buttons and dial. It’s easy to adjust the viewing angle thanks to the nice friction mount, and has a super-logical menu system similar to the one on Blackmagic’s cameras. What it really needs is a record button, though, so you don’t have to reach around to the side.Īttached to that handle is the 5.5-inch, 1,000 nit display that’s the primary way to change camera and gimbal settings. It’s a good way to hold the camera if you want a low angle, so it’s equipped with a rocker switch to adjust the gimbal (height only) and a button to put it in “sport” mode for quick movements. The Ronin 4D has multiple removable modules, starting with the strong top handle. It’s nice to have the three options, particularly the external SSD, but you can only record on one of those at a time – so there’s no way to create a backup while recording. The latter is a paid $799 upgrade, but required for high video frame rates. For storage, you can use either a CF express card, external SSD over the USB-C port (much like recent Blackmagic cameras), or DJI’s ProSSD module. ![]()
