DJI Launches L-Mount for Integrated Cinema Camera System Ronin 4D

Chinese drone and digital camera gimbal maker DJI on February 2 launched an L-Mount product for its built-in cinema digital camera system Ronin 4D, for a worth of two,499 yuan ($370).

Ronin 4D combines a film-level imaging system, four-axis stabilization, LiDAR focusing and wi-fi picture transmission management system, offering easy and easy-to-use inventive instruments for skilled movie and tv groups, video studios and particular person creators.

In the early days, digital camera lenses might solely be threaded onto the digital camera itself, and so they have been very difficult to change. In 1954, Leica Camera pioneered a construction resembling rifle bayonets for the set up of interchangeable digital camera lenses, which is the M-Mount that has been used to date.

An L-Mount is a lens mount for mirrorless autofocus system cameras that was launched by Leica for an APS-C system in 2014 with the Leica T and, in 2015, for a full-frame system, the Leica SL. It is equally appropriate for each APS-C format and full-frame cameras. The benefits are a big inside diameter of 51.6 mm that permits the conclusion of extraordinarily quick lenses and, on the identical time, extraordinarily compact dimensions that allow the development of compact APS-C format system cameras. The configuration of the lens-to-camera communication interface is future-proof and, as realized within the case of the Leica SL, the L-Mount additionally gives an choice for the development of sealed techniques which might be insensitive to mud and moisture. The register of the L-Mount is 20 mm, which permits for the mounting of a large number of various lenses by corresponding adapters.

DJI formally joined the L-Mount Alliance, which has 10 cameras and greater than 50 lenses, on June 15, 2022. At current, members of the alliance embrace DJI, Leica, SIGMA, Panasonic and Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH.

L-Mounts are manufactured from high-quality wear-resistant stainless-steel, with 4 flange distance fixing parts, which might stop deflection and be sure that the digital camera and lens are all the time precisely and tightly linked. More importantly, with the help of the L-Mount, the lenses of all totally different techniques within the alliance can be utilized on any digital camera with out adapter rings and any useful restrictions.

The Zenmuse X9 digital camera has a replaceable mount design that helps DJI’s DJ mount and Leica’s M mount. The present tremendous vast angle, F0.95 tremendous aperture, electrical optical zoom, and macro lens on these mounts can be utilized on the Zenmuse X9, and creators can select freely in line with capturing wants.

The Zenmuse X9 now formally helps the L-Mount. When some L-Mount lenses are used with Ronin 4D, they’ll natively help the electrical adjustment of aperture, realizing the capabilities of computerized follow-up and hand-self-integrated follow-up with out calibrating LiDAR focus rangefinder.

DJI has additionally launched an extension twine for the Zenmuse X9. With this function, the digital camera can be utilized individually from the Ronin 4D, which DJI mentioned helps cinematographers navigate extra advanced and various scenes whereas lowering carrying weight by about 80%.
