DJI RS 3 is a compact stabilizer compatible with mainstream combinations of mirrorless cameras and lenses. It features an automatic axis lock design, wireless Bluetooth shutter, and the latest RS stabilization algorithm, providing impressive stability even in fast-moving scenarios. If you are a solo creator or a small crew that shoots commercial content such as weddings, events, or corporate videos, RS 3 is an exceptional option.
DJI RS 3 First Impressions
Weighing only 1.3 kg/2.8 lbs (including gimbal, battery grip, and dual-layered quick-release plates), the compact RS 3 can be carried easily on the go. Buttons are situated in the center for smooth handheld maneuvering. Let’s look at the first highlighted feature of RS 3.
Efficient Prep and Storage
Tired of lengthy prep work before shooting? Try DJI RS 3 with its innovative automatic axis lock design. With just one tap, the gimbal launches or locks in seconds, giving you a significant boost in productivity.
When the gimbal is powered off, simply press and hold the power button, and the three axes unlock and expand automatically, allowing you to start shooting within seconds without the need for manual operation.
During a shoot, you might need to lock the gimbal temporarily to discuss posture with a model or adjust something on set. Simply press the power button once, and the gimbal automatically locks and enters sleep mode. Press the button once again to wake the gimbal and resume active status.
With dual-layered quick-release plates, mounting a camera onto RS 3 is fast and convenient, with no need to re-balance the gimbal after swapping out a new battery or memory card.
3kg (6.6lbs) Tested Payload
Weighing only 1.3 kg/2.8 lbs (including gimbal, battery grip, and dual-layered quick-release plates), RS 3 can be held easily in one hand, while its 3kg/6.6lb load capacity is more than enough to support mainstream cameras, including the Sony A7S3 or Canon R5 with a 24-70mm F2.8 lens, to manage shooting of weddings, commercial events, and corporate promos.
Professional Stabilization
The third-generation RS stabilization algorithm further optimizes the control of the motor to provide a 20% increase in stability, effortlessly managing low-angle shots, or switching between high and low positions. Turn on SuperSmooth mode, and RS 3 will deliver stable footage even in fast-moving scenarios.
Wireless Bluetooth Shutter
Controlling camera shutter using a shutter cable can be a hassle. Cables can easily get lost and take up a USB port on the camera. By implementing Dual-Mode Bluetooth, RS 3 supports wireless shutter control. [1] After the initial Bluetooth pairing, you can control video and photo shooting by simply pressing the record button on the stabilizer, without having to change the holding position or disrupt the composition. Previously paired cameras can automatically reconnect after the first use, eliminating the need for a camera control cable.
Fast Parameter Setting
Looking for a bigger and better display? RS 3 ticks all the boxes. Compared with the black and white screen of RSC 2, RS 3 is equipped with a 1.8-inch OLED full-color touchscreen with an 80% larger display. It provides intuitive and precise control together with the redesigned user interface. By simply sliding the new gimbal mode switch, you can alternate between Pan Follow, Pan and Tilt Follow, and FPV modes. The FPV mode selection is also customizable to 3D Roll 360, Portrait, or Custom, allowing you to adjust your equipment and get started fast.
12-hours [2] for All-day Shooting
The new battery grip provides a powerful runtime of up to 12 hours, enough for continuous shooting for most of the day.
The new RS 3 battery grip features a detachable design, making it easier to swap batteries and smaller for storage. It can also be charged independently from the gimbal. It supports 18W PD fast charging with a charge time of just 2.5 hours. It can even be used while charging to keep RS 3 powered almost indefinitely.
