DJI RS 5 features a 3kg payload , 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks , and the new RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module. Enjoy smooth balancing with Teflon arms and a full charge in just one hour.
The DJI RS 5 sets a new standard for lightweight commercial stabilisation, offering New Zealand filmmakers an unmatched balance of power and portability. Supporting a 3kg payload, the RS 5 is compatible with popular mirrorless camera and lens setups. Key upgrades include the 5th-Gen RS Stabilisation Algorithm, 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks, and the RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module for seamless subject selection via the touchscreen. Whether you are shooting fast-paced action or creative low-angle shots with the new Electronic Briefcase Handle, the DJI RS 5 provides the stability and control required for professional results.
DJI RS 5 features touchscreen subject selection with the new tracking module [1], smooth balancing from fine-tuning knobs, and direct control via the new briefcase handle [2]—all backed by faster charging and extended battery life [3].

RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module
The module [1] lets you frame and track any subject [1] from the gimbal’s touchscreen, keeping it precisely positioned. And when tracking a person, it offers a range of up to 10 meters and can reacquire the subject if they temporarily leave the frame.
Next-Gen Algorithm, Enhanced Torque
Peak motor torque is up by 50% over the previous model, offering stability in fast-moving scenes. The 5th-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm further enhances stabilization for walking, running, and vertical shooting, striking an ideal balance between stability and control.
Compact Body With up to 3kg Payload
The gimbal weighs just 1.46 kg with battery grip and quick-release plates, and switches to vertical shooting without extra accessories. With a robust 3 kg (6.6 lbs) payload capacity, it can carry mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations [4] with ease.

* Fujifilm: X-T5 + XF 16-55mm F2.8
Smooth & Precise Balancing
Fine-tuning knobs on each axis arm enable quick, precise balancing through a leadscrew mechanism. Combined with Teflon™ interlayers, RS 5 delivers smooth and precise balancing even with heavier professional setups.
2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks
The 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks automatically lock the gimbal upon power-off or sleep for easier transitions and storage. They unlock just as quickly upon power-on, getting you ready to film in an instant for those critical moments.
3rd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting
To switch to vertical shooting, simply loosen and press the single-side knob, remove the gimbal’s horizontal plate, rotate it 90°, and then tighten it back in place [8]—all in just a few seconds.
Dual-Layered Quick-Release Plates
The Arca-Swiss upper plate and Manfrotto lower plate allow quick switching between gimbal and tripod without rebalancing, thanks to position memory. In addition, the upper plate adds an adjustable guide for secure camera mounting.
Support for DJI Focus Pro Motor
When paired with two Focus Pro Motors [5], RS 5 allows cinematographers to adjust the lens zoom via the joystick and precisely control the focus via the dial, facilitating smooth and effortless lens control.
Support for DJI SDR Transmission
Both independent cinematographers and small crews can utilize the DJI SDR Transmission [5] for high-definition live feeds, remote gimbal and camera control, Force Mobile, and more.
RSA Communication Port
The RSA port connects to the Electronic Briefcase Handle, RS Tethered Control Handle [5], and remote-control ring handles [5]. The open RS SDK also lets third-party developers create custom functions.
Notes
1. Requires the DJI RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module, which is available for separate purchase or with the purchase of the compatible combo. Human tracking is limited to a single subject and is not recommended in scenarios with multiple people, overlapping positions, similar clothing, exaggerated movements, or complex attire. Vehicle tracking is suitable for single-vehicle scenarios where the vehicle body is less than 30% occluded and is not suitable for fast-moving vehicles. Pet tracking is limited to a single pet and is not suitable for pets that are moving quickly or changing direction frequently. If the subject temporarily leaves the frame, intelligent reacquisition within 2 seconds is only supported when tracking a person. Data was measured in a controlled environment. Actual experience may vary depending on the environment, usage, and firmware version.
2. The briefcase handle is available for separate purchase or with the purchase of the compatible combo.
3. Requires a 65W charger supporting PD protocol and DJI RS BG33 Battery Grip. The DJI RS BG33 Battery Grip is not available for purchase in India. Charging speed and battery runtime improvements are based on a comparison with DJI RS 4 using the DJI RS BG21 Battery Grip. Data was measured in a controlled environment. Actual experience may vary. For details, please refer to the product page on the official DJI website.
4. For more details on camera and lens compatibility, please refer to the Ronin Series Compatibility Search page.
5. Sold separately.
6. 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).
7. Only available for specific Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras and requires updating to the latest firmware from the camera manufacturer’s official website. For more details on camera and lens compatibility, please refer to the Ronin Series Compatibility Search page.
8. No rebalancing is required for the tilt axis (front to back) and the pan axis after switching between horizontal and vertical shooting.
