With every detail, DJI RS 3 delivers a flexible and efficient shooting experience to solo creators and independent crews. Light and sleek, it provides professional stabilization and efficient control for more creative freedom and endless possibilities. DJI RS 3 is ready when you are.

Get Started Right Away
It's All About Speed

Quick-Release Plates

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.

A newly added fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis allows the camera to slide forward or backward with millimeter-grade precision to achieve accurate balancing more easily when changing lenses.

Automated Axis Locks

RS 3 lets you get up and running instantly. When the gimbal is powered off, press and hold the power button, and the three axes unlock while the gimbal expands automatically, allowing you to start working within seconds. Press the power button once, and the axes automatically lock and enter sleep mode, making transportation and travel significantly more efficient. Press and hold the power button and it will fold and lock automatically.

Wireless Shutter Control

By implementing Dual-Mode Bluetooth, RS 3 supports wireless shutter control, [1] saving time and effort with every use. After the initial Bluetooth pairing, you can control video and photo shooting by simply pressing the record button on the stabilizer. Previously paired cameras can automatically reconnect after the first use, eliminating the need for a camera control cable.

Professional Stabilization

Excellent Weight-to-Payload Ratio

Weighing only 1.3 kg/2.8 lbs (including gimbal, battery grip, and 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.

3rd-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm

Thanks to a next-generation RS stabilization algorithm, RS 3 provides enhanced stability in any scenario. Laboratory testing shows RS 3 provides a 20% increase in stability over RSC 2, effortlessly managing low-angle shots, running scenarios, or switching between high and low positions.

Beyond Smooth

When you need even smoother results, turn on SuperSmooth mode. RS 3 will increase motor torque to further enhance stabilization, delivering stable footage even in fast-moving scenarios or when 100mm-equivalent focal lenses are used.

Fast Parameter Setting

1.8" OLED Touchscreen

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 also supports most Ronin app settings, providing intuitive and precise control together with the redesigned user interface.

Instant Mode Switching

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.

Customizable Front Dial

Rotating the front dial allows you to control zoom or focus. It can also be customized to control the camera's shutter, aperture, ISO, [2] or gimbal movements, making it exceptionally convenient for single-handed operation.

Efficient Video Transmission

Monitoring via Smartphone

RS 3 supports the Ronin Image Transmitter (previously known as the Ronin RavenEye Image Transmitter) [3] to transmit 1080p/30fps HD live feeds directly to a mobile device. The maximum transmission distance is 200 meters [4] and the end-to-end transmission latency is as low as 60 ms. [4] A smartphone can also be attached to the NATO port on RS 3 with the phone holder for wireless monitoring.

Integrated Monitoring and Control

Remotely adjust camera exposure directly in the Ronin app, [2] or control the gimbal with the virtual joystick to get an integrated monitoring and control experience.

Force Mobile

With the Ronin Image Transmitter, a smartphone can be used as a motion controller to remotely control the RS 3 gimbal for more flexible and dynamic camera movements.

A Battery Built for Pros

Quick-Release Design

The new RS 3 battery grip features a cartridge design, making it easier to swap batteries and smaller for storage compared with RSC 2. It can even be charged independently from the gimbal.

12-Hour Operating Time + Fast Charging

The new battery grip provides an extended runtime of up to 12 hours, [5] enough to handle continuous shooting throughout the day. 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.
