Product Information
Full details
The DJI Zenmuse X9 Focus Motor is designed for professional cinematographers and videographers using the DJI Ronin 4D system who need precise, reliable control over manual lenses. By mounting directly to the X9 Gimbal Camera, this motor transforms manual glass into autofocus-capable lenses when paired with the LiDAR Range Finder, though it requires careful calibration and hardware setup to ensure smooth performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The motor is compatible exclusively with the DJI Zenmuse X9-6K and X9-8K gimbal systems. To set up, first attach the X9 Focus Motor Holder to the gimbal, then secure the motor unit. Select the appropriate rod length (18.5mm, 44.5mm, or 88mm) based on your lens diameter and secure the focus gear strip to the lens barrel. Ensure the gear teeth are properly meshed without being overly tight to prevent motor strain. Use the provided 2.5mm ball-end hex key for adjustments. Regularly inspect the gear strips for wear and keep the motor unit free of dust or moisture to maintain longevity.
