The DJI RS 4 Pro isn’t just a stabilizer — it’s the hub of a professional ecosystem designed for precision filmmaking. By integrating with the DJI Focus Pro system, LiDAR technology, and the DJI Transmission system, it enables filmmakers to achieve cinema-quality focus and remote control in both single-operator and multi-crew environments. Here’s a detailed guide on how it all works together.
Step 1: The RS 4 Pro as the Core
The RS 4 Pro provides:
-
Strong Payload Support → Handles cinema cameras and large lenses.
-
Stabilization → 3-axis control with pro-grade motors.
-
Smart Features → Auto-axis locks, native vertical mode, customizable profiles.
This gimbal acts as the foundation, linking focus, LiDAR, and wireless video into one seamless workflow.
Step 2: Integrating the Focus Pro System
The DJI Focus Pro ecosystem extends the RS 4 Pro with professional lens control:
-
Focus Pro Motor → Drives precise focus, iris, or zoom control on any lens.
-
Focus Pro Hand Unit → Wireless controller for focus pullers to operate remotely.
-
Seamless Connection → The motor and hand unit connect directly to the RS 4 Pro, syncing perfectly with its stabilization system.
👉 Benefit: Filmmakers can choose between autonomous LiDAR focus for solo work or traditional manual focus-pulling for full crews.
Step 3: Adding LiDAR Focus
The Focus Pro LiDAR module transforms the autofocus experience:
-
30 m Range → Reliable focusing, even in dim or complex lighting.
-
Subject Tracking → LiDAR locks onto moving subjects for consistent sharpness.
-
Cinematic Autofocus → Creates natural focus transitions, unlike standard camera AF.
👉 Perfect for dynamic scenarios like weddings, narrative films, or fast-moving action.
Step 4: Expanding with DJI Transmission
The DJI Transmission system integrates with the RS 4 Pro for real-time monitoring and remote control:
-
Low-Latency Video Feed → Streams stabilized footage directly to director’s or focus puller’s monitors.
-
Long Range → Provides stable signal over professional production distances.
-
Full Remote Control → Operators can adjust gimbal movements, focus, and camera settings remotely.
👉 This creates a crew-friendly setup where directors, camera operators, and focus pullers can all work independently but stay perfectly synced.
Workflow Examples
-
Solo Operator: RS 4 Pro + LiDAR module handles focus automatically, freeing the operator to focus on framing and movement.
-
Small Crew: Add Focus Pro Hand Unit for a 1st AC to manage manual focus remotely.
-
Full Production: Combine RS 4 Pro, LiDAR, Focus Pro system, and DJI Transmission to give each role — director, DP, and AC — their own dedicated controls and monitoring.
Final Thoughts
The RS 4 Pro + Focus Pro ecosystem is designed for scalable filmmaking. Whether you’re a solo creator needing reliable autofocus or part of a full production team requiring remote focus pulling and live monitoring, the RS 4 Pro integrates it all.
By combining stabilization, LiDAR precision, wireless video, and lens control into one ecosystem, DJI has built a gimbal platform that rivals cinema rigs while remaining portable and versatile.
