DJI’s Industry-Leading Ronin Stabilizer Portfolio Broadened With New Mini Version
DJI, a renowned player in the civilian drones and camera technology industry, has launched the DJI RS 3 Mini – a compact and lightweight handheld stabilizer designed to work with mirrorless cameras and lenses. The device boasts exceptional stabilization performance that enables users to capture professional-grade content while on the move, whether it be travelling to scenic locations or in urban areas. The DJI RS 3 Mini weighs less than 800g and can support a maximum payload of 2kg. It features Bluetooth shutter control, a 3rd generation stabilization algorithm, native vertical and horizontal camera mount, and a 1.4-inch color touchscreen display.
According to Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI, “Bringing professional-grade technology to a growing number of content creators has been a priority for DJI since the launch of the Ronin series for cinematography in professional environments. The DJI RS 3 Mini exemplifies our mission of making innovative stabilization technology accessible to everyone with a passion for capturing moments in photos and videos. With this device, mirrorless camera users can now experience the same industry-leading technology used in film sets and studios worldwide.”
With Just One Hand
The DJI RS 3 Mini boasts a sleek, all-in-one design that is both compact and easy to transport. Weighing in at just 795g in vertical shooting mode, the RS 3 Mini is approximately 50% lighter than the RS 3 Pro and 40% lighter than the RS 3. Its lightweight design makes it easy to hold with just one hand and its compact size allows it to be stored in a shoulder bag. This makes it perfect for those who are traveling and want to take it with them for outdoor shooting.
A Tool For Every Mirrorless Owner
The DJI RS 3 Mini is able to support a maximum payload of 2kg, which allows it to work with a wide range of mirrorless camera and lens combinations. Some examples include the Sony A7S3 with a 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens, the Canon EOS R5 with an RF24-70mm F2.8 STM lens, and the Fuji X-H2S with an XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 lens. Its powerful motor ensures that footage remains stable even when using long focal lengths, eliminating the need for repeated balancing. A full compatibility list can be found online.
Native Vertical Shooting
The DJI RS 3 Mini features a newly designed dual-layered quick-release plate to cater to the demands of today’s vertical video creation. With the quick-release plate attached to the vertical arm, vertical shooting can be achieved without any additional accessories and the gimbal rotation angle is not restricted as compared to traditional vertical mode, allowing easy creation of short video content for social media. The device also comes with an upper plate that has a new curved placement guide, which prevents the camera from rotating or becoming loose while in use.
3rd Generation Stabilization
The DJI RS 3 Mini is a professional-grade stabilizer that offers a powerful yet lightweight solution for landscape or street photography. It is designed to offer easy and flexible shooting experience to users of all levels, achieving both portability and professional results at the same time. The RS 3 Mini utilizes the same 3rd generation stabilization algorithm found in the RS 3 Pro which guarantees outstanding performance when shooting while running, at low angles or in flashlight mode. With the RS 3 Mini, the image stabilization is ensured throughout shooting, regardless of the user’s experience, allowing for professional-level results. When shooting around human subjects, the device allows for smooth camera movements with minimal focus on footwork and pacing, as it can follow people steadily and switch between high and low angles for a more diverse range of shots. Additionally, the RS 3 Mini offers dynamic 360°-rotation imaging to produce strong visual impact and striking shots.
Effortless Connection
The Wireless Bluetooth Shutter function supports linking with the majority of today’s mainstream mirrorless cameras. After the initial linking, the camera will be ready automatically for action as soon as it is turned on, and users can directly control the video recording and photo capture functions via the record button on the gimbal, enabling them to concentrate on shooting straightaway. When using a Sony camera with a supported power zoom lens, users can also directly control the lens’s optical or digital zoom via the front dial, eliminating the need for a camera control cable.
Control At Your Fingertips
For convenient control, a 1.4-inch full-color touchscreen, M-mode button to switch between the gimbal’s three custom modes and front dial for focusing, can all be found within easy one-handed reach.
Accessories A Plenty
Featuring a NATO port on the side of the body, the RS 3 Mini opens up more shooting options by connecting various accessories such as DJI’s Briefcase Handle, external fill lights or microphones.
Fantastic Power For A Day’s Shoot
The integrated battery handle of the RS 3 Mini provides up to 10 hours charge, meeting the needs of a day’s shoot. It supports charging during use and can be fully charged in as little as 2.5 hours
Make The Most With The Ronin App
The Ronin app has a wealth of intelligent shooting functions to help users get the most from their creations.
- Timelapse: Add a timelapse to any video for an engaging opening or breathtaking transition.
- Track recording: Set the gimbal to move along up to 10 pre-set points for a dynamic video of any scene or environment.
- Panorama: Enhance the camera’s field of vision with a panoramic photo showing the whole scene in front of you.
