Ever since DJI released the revolutionary Ronin 4D Cinematic Camera System, we’ve been inundated with questions from our readers.
The two big questions are âWhere can we buy itâ (for now it’s only pre-order at B&H Photo) and âWhat lenses are compatible with the Ronin 4D? “.
DJI has released a comprehensive list of ârecommendedâ lenses for use with the Ronin 4D, and we expect it to grow. So far there are 45 lenses that DJI has listed as compatible and recommended for the Ronin 4D. The manufacturer lineup is even better: DJI, Leica, SONY, Tamron, Zeiss, Sigma, Voigtlander, and Sirui are all on the list.
But beware: we’ve already found errors on DJI’s own recommended lens list (we let them know and they fixed them)⦠but these aren’t the kind of lenses you want to accidentally buy. Some of them can reach $ 10,000 in cost and most are non-refundable so you must be absolutely certain that you are buying THE RIGHT LENS!
Here is the most recent list of recommended Ronin 4D lenses as of the above publication date:
