6K VERSION
WHAT’S DIFFERENT TO THE 6K MODEL? The original Ronin 4D had a 6K full-frame sensor, while the new model is 8K and offers frame rates up to 8K/75p in 2.39:1. The 6K model tops out at 6K/60p in 2.39:1 or 50p in 17:9. Both can manage 120p in 4K, but the 8K remains full-frame at this speed while the 6K model uses a Super 35 area of the sensor. Both offer the same H.274, ProRes Raw and ProRes 422 HQ codecs, except the 6K also has 4444 XQ and 422 LT for a more compressed option. The native ISO is 800/5000 while the 8K model has a 320/1600 default ISO. With dynamic range expansion, this changes to 800/4000 and provides 14.7 stops of dynamic range. The 6K model has 14.3 stops. The 8K camera comes with a Raw licence key for CinemaDNG, too, which is £899/$979 for the 6K. The newer camera also comes with a 1TB SSD and mount, £810/$1028 extra on the older version. The effective resolution of the new camera is 44.7 megapixels, while on the 6K, it’s 24.1. The 8K has the Flex body system, where the camera can be moved away from the main body by up to two metres using a cable. This is £829/$949 extra for the 6K version. The £5659/$6799 6K is now roughly half the price of the 8K, though doesn’t come with a lens. The 8K comes with the new X9-8K gimbal camera and 17- 28mm lens, costing £2599/$3599 and £1339/$1539 respectively. Owners of the 6K can upgrade their cameras with this.
POCKET ROCKET! The new DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a pocket-sized gimbal camera that now features a much larger one-inch CMOS sensor than its predecessor, along with a two- inch rotatable touchscreen. It shoots in 4K/120fps with three-axis mechanical stabilisation and an array of intelligent features, making it perfect for fast use when you don’t have time to set up a full-size camera on a gimbal. The Osmo Pocket 3 offers 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG colour modes for HDR footage. Its OLED rotatable touchscreen is twice the size of the older model and the camera has fast focusing, thanks to a new phase detection AF system. Activetrack 6.0 offers multiple follow modes, including face auto-detect and dynamic framing. The built-in three-mic array reduces wind noise and captures omnidirectional stereo sound. And compatibility with the DJI Mic 2 allows for fast, two-person recording for interviews and live streams. It can be charged to 80% in just 16 minutes and, when fully charged, record up to 116 minutes of 4K/60fps footage, or up to 166 minutes in 1080p/24fps. Livestream in high definition or set the unit up as a webcam. A built-in timecode function streamlines post-production. Accessories include a Black Mist Filter, wide-angle lens which expands the field of view to 108° and a magnetic ND filter set. The camera costs £489/$519 with kits available from £619/$669. dji.com
