Description
Product Overview
The DZOFilm Octopus PL-DX Adapter is a mechanical lens adapter for mounting ARRI PL lenses on the DJI Ronin 4D camera system. Its Active-Lock design helps create a secure lens connection while precision machining maintains the flange distance required for accurate infinity focus. A lightweight full-metal build, internal light control, and dedicated lens support make it practical for cinema production, gimbal work, rental packages, and mobile camera rigs.
Lightweight PL-DX Adapter for DJI Ronin 4D
This lightweight PL-DX adapter keeps an ARRI PL lens conversion compact enough for mobile cinema and gimbal-oriented camera builds. DZOFilm lists the PL-DX configuration at approximately 167g with its base, dropping to approximately 154g without the base.
The reduced weight helps preserve the compact character of a Ronin 4D package while still providing the metal construction needed for frequent lens changes and professional production use.
PL-DX Adapter with Precision Infinity Focus
The PL-DX adapter uses precision CNC machining with a stated ±0.01mm tolerance to restore the required flange distance. Maintaining that spacing allows compatible PL lenses to retain accurate infinity focus without additional calibration.
Active-Lock PL Adapter with a Solid Connection
The Active-Lock PL adapter is designed to reduce play, gaps, and unwanted movement between the lens and camera connection. The tighter mechanical interface helps keep PL glass stable during focus pulls, camera movement, and repeated lens changes.
Light-Blocking PL Adapter for Cleaner Contrast
A light-absorbing treatment inside the adapter helps suppress internal reflections, stray light, and ghosting before they interfere with the optical path. This helps maintain cleaner contrast when shooting around strong practical lights and demanding cinema-lighting setups.

Full-Metal PL-DX Adapter for Stable Cinema Production
The PL-DX adapter combines aluminum and stainless-steel construction with DZOFilm's Active-Lock system to create a rigid mechanical connection. The locking design helps minimize unwanted lens movement during focus pulls, moving-camera work, and repeated lens changes.
PL-DX Adapter with 1/4-Inch Lens Support
A built-in 1/4-inch-20 female support point gives rig builders an additional way to support the adapter and attached PL lens. Adding support can shift part of the load into the camera rig instead of leaving the camera mount to carry the entire lens assembly.

PL Lens Adapter for DJI Ronin 4D
The PL-DX configuration lets a Ronin 4D camera package work with compatible professional PL-mount lenses. DZOFilm states that this configuration can be used on the Ronin 4D without additional calibration.
Lightweight PL Adapter for Mobile Cinema Rigs
At approximately 167g complete, the adapter adds comparatively little mass to a mobile cinema package. Removing the base reduces the adapter itself to approximately 154g where that configuration is appropriate for the rig.
PL-DX Adapter for Professional Lens Packages
Rental operations can use the adapter to pair compatible PL-mount glass with Ronin 4D camera packages. Active-Lock construction and dedicated lens support are useful where camera and lens combinations are rebuilt frequently.
Cinematographers
Camera teams integrating compatible professional PL glass with a DJI Ronin 4D production package.
Gimbal Operators
Operators looking for a relatively lightweight mechanical path between PL lenses and the Ronin 4D system.
Camera Assistants
Crews managing repeated PL lens changes, manual focus workflows, and mechanically supported cinema-camera builds.
Rental Houses
Rental operations expanding Ronin 4D packages with access to existing professional PL-mount lens inventories.
DZOFilm Support
DZOFilm provides a limited one-year manufacturer warranty for the Octopus Adapter. Coremicro can help confirm PL lens compatibility, Ronin 4D integration, lens-support requirements, and rigging needs before the PL-DX adapter is added to a professional camera package.

What lenses work with the DZOFilm PL-DX lens adapter?
The adapter is designed for ARRI PL-mount lenses. It provides a mechanical connection for using compatible PL glass with the DJI Ronin 4D camera system.
Is the PL-DX adapter compatible with DJI Ronin 4D?
Yes. DZOFilm specifically identifies the PL-DX configuration for use with DJI Ronin 4D. The manufacturer states that this configuration can be used without additional calibration.
Does the adapter maintain accurate infinity focus?
Yes. DZOFilm specifies precision machining to ±0.01mm to restore the required flange distance. This allows compatible PL lenses to maintain accurate infinity focus.
Does the adapter provide electronic lens communication?
No. The DZO-ADPLDBLK does not provide electronic communication between the lens and camera. Lens functions that require electronic communication are therefore not passed through the adapter.
Does the mechanical adapter introduce cropping or vignetting?
DZOFilm describes the Octopus Adapter as a mechanical ring without optical components. The manufacturer states that the adapter itself does not introduce additional cropping or vignetting.
How much does the exact DZO-ADPLDBLK weigh?
The complete PL-DX configuration weighs approximately 167g, or 0.167 kg (0.37 lb). DZOFilm separately lists approximately 154g, or 0.154 kg (0.34 lb), when the base is removed.
What comes with the DZOFilm Octopus Lens Adapter PL to DX?
