An interview from the 2024 NAB Show in Las Vegas with Brett Halladay at the DJI Booth. DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, recently introduced three groundbreaking products that revolutionize the filmmaking and content creation landscape. The DJI RS 4, a lightweight commercial stabilizer, redefines vertical shooting with enhanced efficiency and stabilization performance, empowering solo cinematographers to capture grand scenes effortlessly. The DJI RS 4 Pro flagship stabilizer seamlessly integrates with the DJI PRO ecosystem, offering a solution that combines stabilization, transmission, monitoring, focusing, and control, thereby expanding creativity. Finally, the DJI Focus Pro, the industry's first independent Automated Manual Focus (AMF) lens control system, ushers in a new era of collaborative focus control, providing cinematographers with a robust tool to realize their creative visions with ease and precision.

DJI RS 4 possesses an exceptional payload capacity, boasting a lightweight body capable of carrying up to 3kg (6.6lbs) of mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations for comfortable handling and robust power. With an extended tilt axis by 8.5mm, compared to its predecessor, the RS 4 provides even larger balancing space, accommodating additional accessories like ND filters, enhancing creative possibilities. Featuring a 4th-gen stabilization algorithm meticulously optimized for various scenarios, the RS 4 strikes a balance between stabilization strength and camera movement, ensuring excellent performance and an enhanced user experience. Paired with the high-capacity battery grip, it offers approximately 2.5 times longer runtime, ensuring uninterrupted filming sessions for capturing grand scenes with ease.

Thanks to reliable carbon fiber design, DJI RS 4 Pro provides an impressive 4.5kg (10lbs) payload capacity, ideal for mainstream mirrorless and cinema camera setups. Offering Teflon™ coating with dual rolling bearings on the roll axis and a tilt axis fine-tuning knob, the RS 4 Pro ensures smooth, precise, and millimeter-level adjustments. Enhanced features also include second-generation native vertical shooting capability, an auto-lock OLED touchscreen, and improved axis locks for reduced gimbal shakes, elevating efficiency and performance for cinematographers.

The DJI RS 4 Pro transforms solo cinematography with cutting-edge features tailored for efficient shooting. Leveraging the DJI Focus Pro LiDAR Autofocus system, including the Focus Pro LiDAR and Focus Pro Motor, cinematographers benefit from precise LiDAR autofocus, enhancing control in dynamic shooting scenarios. With an impressive 76,800 ranging points, a leap of 77%, the RS 4 Pro sharpens human subject edge detection while effectively reducing focus hunting. The gimbal also offers a maximum human subject focusing distance of 20m, approximately three times that of the previous generation5. Additionally, the Next-Gen ActiveTrack Pro utilizes advanced AI algorithms and LiDAR technology to ensure steadfast subject tracking, even in challenging conditions. Dual Focus & Zoom Motors, combined with the DJI Focus Pro Motor, provide native and precise lens control.

DJI Focus Pro is DJI's first independent LiDAR focus system available to all cinematographers, enabling a wide user base to explore creative focusing possibilities. The all-new DJI Focus Pro Grip offers exceptional versatility with a 2.5-hour system power supply, intuitive visual operations, auto-calibration and data storage for 15 lenses, and Bluetooth connectivity for seamless start/stop recording. Equipped with a full-color touchscreen, the Grip allows operators to adjust LiDAR and motor parameters while providing a real-time view from the LiDAR's perspective, ensuring complete awareness during use.
