DJI PRO has three interesting new products to keep scenes steady and in focus: DJI Focus Pro (shown with LiDAR and 3-channel Hand Unit); DJI RS 4 Pro (shown with LiDAR and new lens motor); and DJI RS 4. They are intuitive, work together, setup quickly, and provide advanced focus control.

DJI RS 4 Pro is the new, top-of-line RS (Ronin Single-handle) gimbal stabilizer that, among other features, supports heavier payloads and has carbon fiber arms.  

DJI RS 4 is a more affordable stabilizer for lighter payloads.

Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI, said, “This year is the 10th anniversary of the Ronin Series. The evolving needs of creators are always at the forefront of our product development. With the latest DJI RS 4 and RS 4 Pro stabilizers, we’ve integrated the feedback we have been gathering from industry professionals over the past decade to drive innovation, ultimately optimizing the design, stabilization, and gimbal control for next generation tools that are unparalleled in efficiency and reliability. 

“DJI Focus Pro, with its inaugural Automated Manual Focus lens control system, is a significant leap forward in providing cutting-edge technology that expands creative possibilities.”

DJI RS 4 Pro

 

The DJI RS 4 Pro stabilizes payloads up to 4.5 kg (10 lb). It has  carbon fiber arms, Teflon coatings for smooth adjustment, a 20% increase in motor torque on all three axes and a knob for fine-tuning balance adjustments. An OLED touchscreen displays sharp, bright video and menus, even in full sunlight. Additional features include auto-lock, dual sets of bearings on the roll axis and improved vertical shooting mode. 

With the addition of the Car Mount mode (for example, on a Tilta Hydra Arm Mini, shown above), the RS4 Pro applies DJI’s fourth-generation stabilization algorithm for even steadier shots on bumpy roads and off-road locations. 

The RS 4 Pro is not only for single-hand, or two-hand operation (using accessory dual grips). It’s also an extremely capable remote head—to be attached to a tripod, dolly, crane, jib arm, car rig, Steadicam, Tilta Shock-Absorbing Arm, Flowcine Blackarm, cablecam, slider, etc. With Bluetooth Remote Control, Trigger Function Customization, and Gimbal Mode Switching, the RS 4 Pro plays nicely with DJI Master Wheels, DJI Ronin 4D Hand Grips, and DJI High-Bright Remote Monitors. 

Add the DJI Focus Pro system with Focus Pro LiDAR for advanced wireless manual and autofocus lens control. There are now 76,800 ranging points (an increase of 77%) for more accuracy and less focus hunting. The LIDAR’s working distance has been increased to 20 meters (65.6 ft). This is about three times further than the previous generation, which you may have used on a Ronin 4D. 

DJI RS 4

The DJI RS 4 stabilizes camera payloads up to 3 kg (6.6 lb). Its tilt arm has been extended 8.5 mm for a greater range of balance for heavier lenses and filters. Its 4th generation stabilization algorithms provide better performance. An accessory high-capacity battery grip adds 2.5 times longer runtime. 

Stability for vertical shooting configurations has been improved with a redesigned gimbal plate that enables quick change from horizontal to vertical shooting modes. Automated axis locks help with quick start-up, balancing and storage. All three axis arms have Teflon coatings for smoother balancing. A fine-tuning knob helps with precise adjustments when balancing or changing lenses. 

Wireless Bluetooth control pairs with the new DJI Focus Pro Motor (shown above) which now has a top speed that’s 30% faster. You can quickly toggle between different gimbal modes, including a customizable FPV setting. Additional intelligent features include Motionlapse, Track and Panorama. The new Joystick Mode Switch enables quick changes between zoom or gimbal control.

DJI Focus Pro

DJI Focus Pro is a modular system that includes a LiDAR Range Finder, Focus Pro Grip, a 3-channel Hand Unit, and lens motors. It’s not just for DJI Gimbals (see handheld setup, above).

The new DJI Focus Pro Grip (also shown above) has a 2.5-hour power supply, intuitive touchscreen, data storage for 15 lenses, auto-calibration, Bluetooth, and remote start/stop. Using its full-color touchscreen, you can adjust LiDAR and lens motor parameters. With 76,800 ranging points and a refresh rate of 30 Hz, the upgraded LiDAR rangefinder’s image plane to subject focus distance has been increased to 20 meters (65.6 ft) and widened to a 70° field of view.

The single-channel Focus Pro Grip uses Bluetooth to communicate up to 160 meters (525 ft) for start/stop and wireless control of mirrorless camera functions and menus. There’s also a Magnetic Dampening Knob for the Focus Pro Grip that can be set for focus or zoom control, with adjustable damping and rotational ranges. 

Enhanced autofocus functions include subject recognition and tracking, adjustable focus speed and selectable focus areas. 

Automated Manual Focus (AMF) mode is available for both the Focus Pro Grip and the 3-Channel Hand Unit. It works like this: AMF focus transition, AMF focus lock and AMF focus speed control provide tactile feedback and almost instant switching between manual and autofocus. DJI calls it a “seamless integration of technology and human intuition.” Camera Assistants can enjoy interactive and intuitive focus pulling with AMF and LiDAR. 

LiDAR Waveform focus assist shows you a bird’s-eye view of the scene to help with artistic focus decisions and sharp images. You probably used DJI’s FIZ 3-Channel Hand Unit with a Ronin 4D or Inspire 3. The Hand Unit has Magnetic Dampening for  stepless real-time drag adjustments and focus marks that can be set electronically. And now, the Hand Unit has been upgraded with AMF. 

New DJI Pro lens motors have improved performance, with 30% faster speeds, 10 millisecond low latency response, and three levels of adjustable torque. The motors attach to standard 15 mm rods.
