The DJI DL PZ 17-28mm T3.0 ASPH is the essential wide-angle zoom lens for the DJI Ronin 4D system. It is engineered to maximize the system’s speed and mobility by including an internal servo motor that allows for zero-rebalance zooming across its entire focal range. As a native DL mount lens, it offers plug-and-play operation with the Ronin 4D’s LiDAR focusing system, eliminating the need for time-consuming calibration. Its ultra-light weight makes it a critical tool for documentary, event, and handheld cinema work where speed and agility are paramount.
Overview
- Zero Re-balance Zoom: Zoom without stopping to adjust the Ronin 4D gimbal.
- Constant T3.0 Aperture: Consistent exposure across the entire range.
- Native DL Mount: Automatic, calibration-free integration with Ronin 4D.
- Ultra-Lightweight: Only for prolonged handheld shooting.
- 8K Ready: Full-Frame optics designed to meet high-resolution sensor demands.
- Parfocal Design: Focus holds steady while zooming.
Bypass Calibration
To ensure the most accurate focus performance, go to Parameters > Lens > Calibration Profile and select NA (Not Applicable). The lens uses superior factory calibration and should not be manually or auto-calibrated.
Harness the Speed
Assign zoom control to the Ronin 4D Hand Grips or the Main Monitor for fluid, live zooming. The zero-rebalance feature is designed for dynamic shots where you cannot afford to stop.
Master Dolly Zoom
The parfocal nature of the lens is perfect for executing the classic dolly-zoom (Vertigo effect). With the ability to zoom quickly and cleanly, you can achieve this effect more easily than with a mechanical zoom lens.
Utilize Wide Close-ups
Don’t hesitate to get close to your subject (as close as ) to emphasize foreground elements. The perspective offers a unique, immersive look when combined with such a short MOD.
