Product description

The 4D platform introduces Z-axis vertical stabilisation alongside traditional 3-axis movement, producing gimbal-smooth footage even while walking or moving handheld.

At its core is the Zenmuse X9-8K full-frame camera, offering dual native ISOs (800/5000), 14 stops of dynamic range, and internal ProRes 4444 XQ or RAW recording.

The modular DL lens mount supports DJI’s lightweight carbon fibre lenses, as well as optional Sony E and Leica M adapters for creative flexibility.
