Raising the Bar for Lightweight Professional Gimbals
Without adding bulk or complexity to their rig, DJI has delivered important upgrades to its latest gimbal offering, the RS 5 — giving creators even more incentive to push their limits! A lightweight, professional-grade stabilizer, the RS blends pragmatic workflow enhancements with powerful performance for creators looking for smarter subject tracking, the best stability, and longer runtimes.
From solo shoots to dynamic run-and-gun filming, here are some of the Key Features that creators will love:
Smarter Subject Tracking: The new RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module allows operators to track pets, vehicles, and people with a 10-meter lock on human subjects. If your subject steps out of frame, if something briefly blocks them or you pan away and back, the tracking system can recognize the subject and resume tracking without you having to manually reset it.
Advanced Stabilization: DJI’s fifth-generation RS Stablization Algorithm delivers up to 50% higher peak motor torque for smoother footage during runs, quick movements, and vertical shooting—all without extra accessories.
Ergonomic Upgrades: A new Electronic Briefcase Handle offers one-handed control with triggers and a joystick. On-Screen Z-Axis Indicator helps optimize gait to reduce vertical shake.
Batter Life that Lasts: Standard runtime of 14 hours, with one-hour full charge time—60% faster than its predecessor. The optional BG80 High-Capacity Grip extends runtime to 30 Hours!
Broader Capability: The Bluetooth Shutter support now includes Panasonic and Fujifilm Cameras, in addition to Sony, Canon, and Nikon. Accessories like DJI Focus Pro Motors and SDR Transmission work seamlessly with the RS 5.
Design & Workflow: Fine-tuning knobs with Teflon interlayers make balancing much easier, and a new automated axis now locks speed setup and teardown. Native vertical shooting can now be done without adding extra gear.
Overall, the DJI RS 5 is a significant improvement and a compelling upgrade for creators who prioritize workflow efficiency. By prioritizing real-world shooting needs like intuitive tracking, extended battery life, and ergonomic control, the RS 5 will be a welcome upgrade for everyone.
