DJI has unveiled RS 3 Mini, a lightweight alternative to RS 3 and RS 3 Pro gimbals.
The RS 3 Mini offers the same stabilisation found in the RS 3 series but weighs less than 800g and can carry a weight of up to 2kg.
It supports a good array of mainstream mirrorless cameras and lenses, including the Sony A7S III and 24-70mm lens as well as the Canon EOS R5 and 24-70mm lens.
The device leverages DJI’s 3rd generation stabilisation algorithm to produce stable footage even when the user is running, shooting at a low angle or in flashlight mode.
The RS 3 Mini can follow people, switch between high and low angles and it includes support for dynamic 360-degree rotation imaging.
The design features a dual-layered quick-release plate that allows for vertical shooting without the need for additional accessories, along with an upper plate with a new curved placement guide to prevent the camera from rotating and loosening, making it easier to shoot for social media.
The wireless Bluetooth shutter on the gimbal can be linked with most mainstream mirrorless cameras, allowing users to control video and photo capture using the record button.
There’s also a 1.4-inch colour touchscreen, an M-mode button for switching between the gimbal’s three custom modes and a front dial for focusing.
The front dial can also be used to control optical and digital zoom when paired with a supported Sony camera and power zoom lens.
Finally, the RS 3 Mini supports time-lapse, track recording and panorama features via the DJI Ronin app and packs up to 10 hours of battery from one 2.5-hour charge.
The DJI RS 3 Mini is available for purchase at $539 from the official website.
