DJI today held their first October 2021 launch event showcasing their own Cinema camera called the DJI Ronin 4D. Their Cinema camera features a gimbal in it hence the name Ronin which is mostly used on their Gimbal stabilizers. The camera comes with other amazing features like Cinematic imaging, Lidar Focusing, and wireless transmission built into it.
