Description
The DJI Ronin 4D Flex Extension Unit transforms your filmmaking setup. Not only does it make your rig lighter, but it also makes it more flexible and easier to handle. Designed for solo operators and tight shooting environments, it allows you to detach the Zenmuse X9 gimbal camera from the main Ronin 4D body. As a result, your handheld setup weighs only 1.8 kg (4 lb), providing an agile and comfortable shooting experience. In addition, it reduces strain during extended handheld sessions.
A 2 m (6.6 ft) cable connects the camera and body, ensuring reliable communication while supporting up to 8K video transmission. Therefore, you can set up remote head operations without compromising image quality.
Quick Setup and Tool-Free Operation
Switching between the integrated and Flex setup is fast and tool-free. Furthermore, the included handgrip mount adapters and USB-C cables allow native control through the Ronin 4D system. Moreover, the slim, flexible cable ensures smooth data transfer without obstructing your workflow.
You can mount the X9 camera onto a jib arm or extension pole using the ¼”-20 and ⅜”-16 threads. Consequently, you achieve fluid low-to-high angle shots in a single motion. Additionally, this setup expands creative possibilities for dynamic shots.
Remote Head Operation
The Flex Unit allows the X9 to function as a cinema-grade remote head. This enables dynamic pan, tilt, and tracking shots even in constrained spaces. In addition, redistributing the weight across your shoulders or waist reduces fatigue during longer handheld sessions. Moreover, pairing it with a mounting vest or backpack enhances comfort and stability.
Expanded Creative Options
The unit supports telephoto, zoom, and anamorphic lenses via the included pan-axis quick lock. Furthermore, when mounted on a tripod, the Flex Unit accommodates third-party accessories such as follow focus motors. Therefore, you gain greater creative control and versatility on set.
Efficient and Versatile Filmmaking
Ultimately, the DJI Ronin 4D Flex Extension Unit provides a lightweight, flexible, and highly adaptable solution for professional filmmakers. By combining remote operation, ergonomic design, and accessory compatibility, it enhances both shooting efficiency and creative possibilities. Whether filming handheld, on a jib, or using remote setups, the Flex Unit streamlines your workflow and makes every shot smoother, faster, and more versatile.
