DJI RS 4 Gimbal Stabiliser Summary Open Box

**MISSING SCREW KIT

The next generation DJI RS 4 Gimbal Stabiliser introduces upgrades, which enable solo creators to tell gripping visual stories with a professional-level gimbal stabiliser. It benefits from improved native vertical shooting, enhanced efficiency, improved stabilisation performance, and an upgraded accessory ecosystem, designed to elevate the storytelling experience.

All three axes feature a Teflon™ coating for reduced friction and smoother balancing. Automated axis locks have been added, which allow the RS 4 from DJI to enter and exit sleep modes more efficiently. A newly designed horizontal plate also contributes to a more seamless shooting experience, with easier switching to vertical shooting, without the need for accessories.

DJI’s new auto-lock feature on the OLED touchscreen prevents accidental touches and helps to conserve battery power, while the lightweight stabiliser is still capable of supporting up to 3kg payloads, catering to the most popular mirrorless camera and lens combinations.

Balance space is extended by 8.5mm compared to the previous generation, with greater tilt axis in order to more easily mount ND filters and other creative filmmaking accessories.

DJI RS 4 Gimbal Stabiliser in More Detail

Improved 2nd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting

The DJI RS 4 features a newly designed horizontal plate, enabling faster and easier native vertical shooting. Without the need for additional accessories, you can simply release the horizontal plate and secure it into the vertical position for an easy switch to vertical shooting, [2] paving the way for much more efficient vertical video creation.

Improved 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks

Automated axis locks allow the RS 4 gimbal stabiliser to swiftly begin working or enter sleep mode, which significantly enhances shooting, transition, and storage efficiency. Additionally, the axis locks have smaller gaps when locked, further reducing gimbal shake.

Smoother balancing and a Teflon™ Coating

• All three axes feature a Teflon™ coating, resulting in reduced friction and smoother balancing.
• The fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis can move the camera forward or backward, achieving precise, millimetre-level balancing, when switching cameras or lenses.
• An added adjustable placement guide on the upper quick-release plate, ensures secure camera mounting.

Automatic Screen Lock

?The RS 4’s OLED touchscreen incorporates a new auto-lock feature. Once locked, the screen will display the current gimbal and joystick modes at a low brightness, which not only prevents accidental touches, but also helps conserve battery power.

Powerful Stabilisation with an Excellent Payload Capacity

The lightweight design boasts a 3kg payload capacity, enabling it to carry mainstream mirrorless camera and popular mirrorless lens combinations.

Compared with the previous generation, the DJI RS 4’s tilt axis has also been extended by 8.5mm, offering expanded balancing space. This allows you to mount a mirrorless camera and lens combination, along with accessories like ND filters, broadening the scope for creative potential.

4th-Gen RS Stabilisation Algorithm

DJI has comprehensively optimised the 4th-generation RS stabilisation algorithm for different scenarios. It strikes an excellent balance between stabilisation strength and the tactile feel of camera movement, delivering excellent stabilisation performance with an enhanced user experience. Additionally, RS 4 offers significantly improved stability when vertical shooting, easily steadying dynamic shots like running or low-angle perspectives.

Professional Creation

DJI RS 4 supports professional-grade features of DJI PRO products, delivering superior performance that makes solo creation more efficient.

Bluetooth Wireless Control

With Dual-Mode Bluetooth technology, DJI RS 4 can remotely control camera shutter and lens zoom. In zoomcontrol mode, you can use the joystick to control Power Zoom for PZ lenses and Clear Image Zoom, [3] obtaining a native zoom experience. A camera only needs to be paired once, after which it can reconnect seamlessly and automatically.

Support for DJI Focus Pro Motor

Enjoy smoother operation and efficient lens control when paired with the DJI Focus Pro Motor, [4] where DJI RS 4 allows you to control lens focus via dial or adjust the lens zoom via joystick.

Trigger Function Customisation

When shooting rotational footage or simulating POV, a trigger function can be customised to FPV mode, where pressing and holding the trigger makes the gimbal’s three axes follow the direction of the grip’s movement.

Gimbal Mode Switch

Quickly switch between PF, PTF, and FPV modes, by ? toggling the gimbal mode switch. You can also set FPV mode to 3D Roll 360 mode or Custom mode according to the shooting requirements, ensuring RS 4 is precision-ready.

Intelligent features built-in

The DJI RS4 gimbal stabiliser includes intelligent features for effortless content creation, including Motionlapse, Trackand Panoramafunctions.

Accessory Ecosystem RSA Communication Port

DJI RS 4 introduces an RSA communication port, which allows for the connection of accessories such as the DJI RS Tethered Control Handle [6] and third-party accessories like control handles [6] and remote-control ring handles, [6] providing the flexibility to switch between different shooting setups according to your creative needs.

Thanks to DJI RS SDK protocol, third-party manufacturers and individual developers can develop customised functions for RS 4, meeting a wider range of shooting requirements.

Accessories for this generation stabiliser include the optional BG70 High-Capacity Battery Grip, DJI RS Focus Motor (2022), and Ronin Image Transmitter, which are all compatible with the RS 4.

Footnotes:

1. ?Data was measured by comparing the battery runtime of DJI RS 4 equipped with the DJI RS BG70 High-Capacity Battery Grip and that of DJI RS 4 equipped with the DJI RS BG21 Battery Grip. Battery runtime was measured in a 25° C (77° F) indoor environment with the gimbal balanced in a level and stationary state until the battery level reached 3% (with the battery grip only powering the gimbal).
2. The gimbal requires rebalancing after switching between horizontal and vertical shooting.
3. For more details on camera and lens compatibility, please refer to the Ronin Series Compatibility Search page.
4. The DJI RS 4 Combo includes a DJI Focus Pro Motor. For the standalone version, the motor is sold separately.
