Kerala’s very first DJI Ronin 4D 8K made its debut at Don Bosco Film School as celebrated cinematographers Sujith Vasudev and Gikku Jacob Peter selected the campus to test and evaluate the groundbreaking cinema system. Recognized as a premier hub for students pursuing a professional cinematography course in Kerala, the institute opened its premises for the duo to put the flagship camera through rigorous production trials, giving aspiring filmmakers a rare opportunity to train alongside veteran industry professionals.
The DJI Ronin 4D 8K represents an industry-defining leap in digital filmmaking, combining high-resolution image capture with an active 4-axis stabilization architecture that eliminates vertical camera shake without heavy dollies or bulky gimbals. Featuring a full-frame 8K sensor capturing up to 60fps, internal ProRes RAW recording, and an advanced LiDAR autofocus system, the rig allows creators to maintain razor-sharp focus and total dynamic range control during complex tracking shots—making hands-on mastery of such technology a vital component of modern camera operator training and advanced cinematography education.
The exclusive session transformed the test into an invaluable practical workshop for students enrolled in the school’s Diploma in Cinematography, comprehensive filmmaking courses, and camera training modules. Rather than studying next-generation gear purely through theory, learners directly engaged with the camera’s operating ergonomics, focus-assist tools, color science, and high-resolution shooting workflows under direct industry mentorship. By regularly hosting such high-level cinema tests, Don Bosco Film School continues to establish itself as the leading destination for a practical, industry-driven cinematography course in Kochi and hands-on film school education in Kerala.
