DJI RS 3 Mini Gimbal Stabiliser

DJI RS 3 Mini Handheld Gimbal Stabiliser Summary

With best in-class payload, the ultra compact and lightweight DJI RS 3 Mini handheld gimbal stabiliser has a payload capacity of up to 2kg, to support mainstream full-frame mirrorless cameras. It includes DJI’s third generation stabilisation algorithm, which delivers cinema-ready stability, when combined with the high-torque motors and ergonomic handheld design.

DJI RS 3 Mini Handheld Gimbal Stabiliser in More Detail

Lightweight and Reliable

The RS 3 Mini from DJI includes an innovative redesign, which has resulted in a smaller build, integrated battery and native vertical shooting capability. The compact and portable frame easily fits into a shoulder bag, allowing creators to travel lighter. When in use, DJI RS 3 Mini is about half the size of the previously launched RS 3 Pro gimbal, making it super convenient and easy to use over extended periods.

With a low 795g weight when used in Portrait mode, the DJI RS 3 Mini is approximately 50% lighter than RS 3 Pro and 40% lighter than RS 3. It weighs 100 g more when shooting with the horizontal plate, at 850g. Additionally, a concentrated centre of balance provides a more stable and ergonomic hand-held gimbal experience, which is essential when shooting for extended duration.

Extremely Powerful

A payload capacity of up to 2 kg makes this one of the best-in-category stabilisers at its weight, to easily support larger gear, such as a Sony A7S3 with 24-70mm f/2.8 GM lens. The gimbal will also support most other mainstream full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras, with a wide range of lens combinations.

High-torque motors ensure the RS 3 Mini can retain stable shooting when zooming to maximum focal lengths on most lenses, without the need for rebalancing.

Example supported camera and lens combinations

Professional Cinema-Ready Stabilisation

With the same outstanding 3rd generation RS Stabilisation algorithm as RS 3 Pro, RS 3 Mini can achieve professional-grade image stabilisation. Whether running, capturing a low-angle shot, or shooting in flashlight mode, your shots stay stable.

Supports Rich Camera Movements More Easily

RS 3 Mini's unique size and features provide ample opportunity to achieve rich camera movements and language. It also reduces the need to re-shoot due to camera shake, allowing you to capture every moment and create with more confidence.

Intuitive and versatile use

An upgraded new dual-layered quick-release plate features an upper plate with a curved guide which prevents the camera from rotating and loosening and the gimbal also includes clear mounting and locking marks, to improve launch and storage efficiency. It also follows the ARCA standard, allowing for convenient switching between tripods.

Native Vertical Shooting

The RS series has made a breakthrough in native vertical shooting on RS 3 Mini. Switch to vertical instantly without additional accessories. Just mount the standard Quick-Release Plate to the gimbal's vertical arm and film content that's optimised for social media platforms.

Compared to portrait modes on other gimbals, the gimbal rotation angle of RS 3 Mini in Native Vertical mode is greatly expanded. It even offers the same control experience as horizontal mode. It is also easy to film in Upright, Underslung, Flashlight, and other operation modes.

NATO Expansion Port

RS 3 Mini is equipped with a NATO port to support the installation of accessories such as briefcase handles, external fill lights, and monitors, allowing for more configurations and greater flexibility.

Streamlined workflow with intuitive operation

Bluetooth Shutter Control

RS 3 Mini comes with the same Bluetooth shutter control that debuted on RS 3 Pro. This function supports mainstream mirrorless camera models and allows RS 3 Mini to automatically reconnect with a camera after the initial pairing.

After Bluetooth pairing, you can directly control the video recording and photo capture functions of your camera via the record button on the gimbal. When using a Sony camera with a supported digital lens, you can directly control the lens's optical or digital zoom via the front dial, eliminating the need for a camera control cable.

Gimbal Mode Switch Button

Press the M button to switch between PF (Pan Follow), PTF (Pan and Tilt Follow), and FPV mode. Photographers can also customise the follow speed and other parameters of RS 3 Mini on the touchscreen, facilitating a smoother and more intuitive shooting experience.

1.4" Full-Colour Touchscreen

RS 3 Mini features a 1.4-inch full-colour touchscreen with a new UI. Adjust most functions without the app and access common settings quickly and intuitively.

Front Dial Focusing

Like the rest of the DJI RS series, RS 3 Mini sports an ergonomic front dial that rotates to adjust the focus, ISO, aperture, shutter, and other parameters. Control the movement of the gimbal's three axes with the front dial for a more effective solo-shooting experience.

Shoot for 10-Hours non-stop

The integrated battery grip supports up to 10 hours of runtime, providing sufficient power to fully meet the shooting needs of all-day use. Recharge RS 3 Mini in as little as 2.5 hours to get back to shooting quickly and you can even use it while charging.

Timelapse, Track and Panorama Shooting modes

Add a timelapse to any video for an engaging opening or breathtaking transition, set the gimbal to track along up to 10 pre-set points for a dynamic video of any scene or environment. Panorama photo captures more of any landscape for the big picture.
