More Power, Smaller Gimbal
The DJI RS3 Pro Gimbal Stabilizer has been redesigned to be sleeker and more powerful than the Ronin RS 2 gimbal, with its carbon fiber body weighing only 3.3 lb and a payload of up to 10 lb. This tiny gimbal is tough enough to support and stabilize midsize cameras such as the Sony FX6 or Canon C70 with a 24-70mm zoom lens attached. With a larger full-color OLED display, a new fine-tuning knob, and greater stability, the RS 3 can become an essential part of your professional camera kit.
Quick Release Plates
The new Extended Lower Quick Release Plate ensures more stable camera mounting and is convenient for installing lens support for secure settings.
Compatibility
For a full list of compatible cameras, please see the most current compatibility information on the DJI website.
Automated Axis Locks
When the gimbal is powered off, you can press and hold the power button, and the three axes unlock while the gimbal expands automatically, allowing you to start working in just two seconds. Press the power button once, and the axes automatically lock and enter sleep mode, making a move or storage significantly more efficient.
Wireless Shutter Control
Equipped with Dual-Mode Bluetooth technology, the RS 3 Pro is able to achieve efficient and reliable wireless shutter control. Previously paired cameras can be automatically reconnected, saving you a ton of time with every use.
Integrated Controls
  • With a newly added fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis, the camera can slide forward or backward with millimeter-grade precision adjustments to achieve accurate balancing more easily when changing the lens.
  • With Teflon-coated components for lower friction resistance, RS 3 Pro can be balanced more smoothly, even when mounting heavy cameras.
  • 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 as fast as possible.
  • Rotating the front dial allows you to control zoom or focus. It can also be customized to control the camera's shutter, aperture, ISO, or gimbal movements, making it exceptionally convenient for single-handed operation.
Third-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm
Empowered by a next-generation stabilization algorithm, the RS 3 Pro provides 20% enhanced stability over the RS 2, effortlessly managing low-angle shots, running scenarios, or switching between high and low positions.
Get SuperSmooth Results
When SuperSmooth mode is enabled, the RS 3 Pro increases motor torque to further enhance stabilization, delivering stable footage even in fast-moving scenarios or with 100mm-equivalent focal lenses.
ActiveTrack Pro
Tracking on the Ronin series has never been more accurate or responsive. The next-generation ActiveTrack Pro can directly read images from the camera built into the LiDAR Range Finder, with no need for the Ronin Image Transmitter. When using ActiveTrack Pro, you can directly monitor or frame the subject on the RS 3 Pro's OLED touchscreen.
Large 1.8" OLED Touchscreen
The built-in 1.8" OLED full-color touchscreen provides a 28% larger display compared to RS 2, making it incredibly convenient for setting parameters, checking shooting status, and framing your tracked subjects. With the redesigned user interface, every setting is more intuitive and precise. The OLED screen also offers higher brightness than the LCD screen of RS 2 for better outdoor viewing with lower power consumption.
Carbon Fiber Construction
The RS 3 Pro arms are constructed from layered sheets of uncut carbon fiber, just like the Ronin 2. This makes it lighter and stronger than the jointed carbon fiber material used on RS 2, increasing stiffness and a lower weight to cope with even more demanding shooting environments.
LiDAR Compatibility
To make focusing easier for handheld shooting, Ronin 4D's LiDAR focusing technology is applied to RS 3 Pro. The new optional LiDAR Range Finder (RS) can project 43,200 ranging points within a 14-meter area.
Remote Control
The High-Bright Remote Monitor can be used with Ronin 4D Hand Grips, DJI Master Wheels, or DJI Force Pro to control the gimbal and focus precisely. It is also equipped with a built-in gyroscopic sensor that can turn the remote monitor into a standalone motion controller for RS 3 Pro without additional accessories to achieve more complex camera movements from a moving vehicle or with a jib.
Wireless Camera Control
When RS 3 Pro is mounted onto carriers like a jib, cable cam, or vehicle suction cup, Mirror Control mode unlocks seamless wireless control from anywhere on set. This mode allows direct control of the core menu operations for Sony mirrorless cameras via the remote monitor, all without having to detach your camera.
Enhanced Battery and Fast Charging
The new RS 3 Pro 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 separately from the gimbal. The new battery grip provides an extended runtime of up to 12 hours, enough for continuous shooting all 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.
Extensive Ports and Accessories
With dual RSA/NATO ports and a battery port, RS 3 Pro can be connected to various accessories such as the Twist Grip Dual Handle, Tethered Control Handle, and the new DJI Briefcase Handle to flexibly meet a variety of shooting requirements.
DJI RS SDK
DJI RS SDK is a developer protocol provided by DJI for developers and third-party hardware manufacturers to equip DJI RS 3 Pro with more features for extensive scenarios.

DJI RS 3 Pro Reviews

Works great, but demands you register

By David
Rated 2 out of 5

I've rented these in the past before and had no issues. I finally bought one and on the first show I used it on, it randomly decided to stop working until I made a DJI account and activated it. I already bought it, why does DJI need my personal info? What would have happened if I didn't have cell reception? Absolutely unacceptable behavior from a pro product

Worth the price

If you are looking for a gimbal, then invest in this combo. its not much more than just the unit. The only downside is that none of them come with a power cord so you will need to use your own to charge. Kinda annoying for the price point but really that's my only complaint.

MUCH BETTER THAN THE RS2

I held off for quite a bit because I said to myself how much better could this version be? Well DJI said hold my beer, because WOW! When balanced properly, cameras fly with ease on this thing.

DJI Finally Thought About AKS!

By Megan

This gimbal is what I have been waiting for. An easy system that fits into a larger production seamlessly. They finally thought through accessories and making a GImbal that just works without freaking out (which it still does sometimes, but that's to be expected with electronic motors). You still need a few aftermarket pieces. And why oh why does the DJI Focus Wheel not come in this Pro kit (sold seperately - the motor comes but not the wheel to control it). Anyway, it's great! Buy this!

Minor Defect, still love it!

The Long arm engages early, not letting itself complete the full motion, But other than that I have no issues. Everything else works great, the movement, the feel. Definitely a great buy!

DJI's Latest Gimbal is a Winner

By Dave

Date: 2023-06-20

I've owned each of the 3 generations of pro-level gimbal from DJI and the RS3, with the auto-lock feature and the hardware-switchable mode select (PF/PTF/FPV), has improved usage considerably. It is much faster in run and gun mode and while switching locations. Also thankful that attachments and accessories from my RS2 work on the RS3. Solid upgrade.

Definitely worth worth every cent

I heard that Gimbals were a pain to deal with, but this one takes all the struggle out of the equation.

Not a very hard shift learning this coming from a Ronin-M. Only complaint is the horizon isn't perfect on many shots. I'll have to read up on how to shift the setting cuz all I see is stiffness. No degrees yet. Wish that was an easier option to find in the menu.

Do you have to recalibrate after zooming with a lens that has an external zoom, such as the rf 70-200 f2.8?
Asked by: Nathan
We don't really recommend using telephoto lense like a 70-200mm on a gimbal, as they tend to be heavy and very tricky to operate with. Generally wide angle lenses work the best, but to answer your question, yes, when zooming with a lens the weight of the lens will probably shift, which can cause balance issues, so it would be wise to recalibrate the DJI RS 3 Pro Gimbal Stabilizer after zooming in or out.

Can you mount a ninja v to the gimbal, and if so how would you connect the output of the camera to the monitor?
Asked by: Jonathan
You could mount the Ninja V to the DJI RS 3 Pro with this Proaim Snaprig NATO Monitor Mount for DJI RS 2, RSC 2, RS 3 & RS 3 Pro Gimbals. Check to see what the HDMI output of your camera is and get a cable similar to the ZILR Hyper-Thin High-Speed Micro-HDMI to HDMI Cable with Ethernet (17.7")

Using a phone with a gimbal for control is necessary and the DJI RS3 models would also require activation.

Will this be compatible with the BMPCC6K G2 w/o any attachments! Or is there additional components that are required to have this set up work? And if so is it recommend to use with a camera that heavy? Only due to the fact this would be the third Gimble I've used and all of them so far had promoted its payload wouod work but still had its issues and personally better off shooting w/o one .
Asked by: Matthew
The DJI RS3 Pro gimbal will support the Black Magic Pocket Camera 6K Pro. The 6K G2 is the exact same camera without ND filters built in. The 6K G2 is supported and can balance on the DJI RS3 Pro gimbal without issues. DJI Tested camera list: https://www.dji.com/support/compatibility/rs-3-pro/bmpcc6kpro

If you require a 3/8 mounting connection for your quick release system We recommend that you use a solution like the Manfrotto Move. The DJI RS 3 Pro Gimbal Stabilizer has a 1/4 20 attachment point in the base of the handle. Manfrotto MOVE Quick Release Catcher System Set BH #MAMVAQR
