DJI RS 3 Mini FAQ: Features, Weight, and Compatibility

How does DJI RS 3 Mini enhance the shooting experience?

The DJI RS 3 Mini enhances the shooting experience through:

Outstanding stabilization performance: It features a three-axis gimbal with the 3rd-Gen RS Stabilization algorithm, similar to the RS 3 Pro. This algorithm analyzes camera and lens combinations to provide adaptive stabilization control, ensuring stable and smooth shots with fewer camera shakes, even with diverse setups and payload angles.
Intuitive control and rich camera movements: The gimbal is light and comfortable to hold, featuring an ergonomic front dial for focusing. When connected via a camera control cable, this dial can adjust focus, ISO, aperture, shutter, and other camera parameters, or control the gimbal's three axes, improving the creative experience for solo creators. For specific supported models and features, refer to the Ronin Series Compatibility Search page. The DJI RS 3 Mini also integrates intelligent features from the DJI Ronin app, such as Panorama, Timelapse, and Track, offering more options for flexible shooting and richer visual effects.
Native vertical shooting: The DJI RS 3 Mini supports native vertical shooting without requiring additional accessories. By mounting the standard quick-release plate to the vertical arm of the gimbal, users can conveniently switch between horizontal and vertical shooting. This feature simplifies short video creation for social media.
