Today, DJI is revolutionizing the videography industry with the introduction of the innovative new DJI RS3 Gimbal and RS3 Pro Gimbal. The gimbals incorporate the most beloved features of the Ronin Series with a handful of new stabilization must-haves that will make creators’ lives easier. Both come jam-packed with features, but let’s take a look at everything we know about the exciting new DJI RS3 Pro.

For starters, the DJI RS3 Pro comes with an enhanced payload capacity of ten pounds. Its extended carbon-fiber axis arms can hold high-end cameras like the Sony FX6 or Canon C70. This gives videographers even more room to get creative.

Additionally, the gimbal was designed to make balancing a breeze. It comes with a fine-tuning knob that can adjust the camera position down to the millimeter. It also features automated axis locks for quick use, and wireless shutter control for even more seamless shooting.

Key Features of the DJI RS3 Pro

The DJI RS3 Pro Gimbal is brimming with must-have gimbal features. For starters, DJI made the RS3 Pro even easier to balance. This is great for those quick set-up shoots or run-and-gun documentary film days. Plus, the DJI RS3 Pro can hold a whopping ten pounds (while it still weighs just 3.3 pounds itself). And, videographers can enjoy everything from wireless shutter control, instant mode switching, and a larger touchscreen experience — and that merely scratches the surface of innovations to expect with the action-packed DJI RS3 Pro. 

Here are its many key features:

  • Automated axis locks
  • Tested payload of 10 pounds
  • Wireless shutter control
  • Instant mode switching
  • 1.8-inch OLED full-color touchscreen
  • Carbon fiber construction
  • 20 percent higher stability compared to its predecessor
  • SuperSmooth mode for enhanced results
  • Pro-grade focusing with LiDAR technology
  • DJI RS Focus Motor included
  • Cinematic autofocus capabilities
  • ActiveTrack pro included
  • Long-range wireless transmission via DJI Transmission
  • Wireless camera control

Simple Setup, Stunning Results

Two of the DJI RS3 Pro’s most alluring perks are its efficient mounting and speedy stabilization. It features automated axis locks for quickly moving from sleep mode to shooting. Plus, the next-gen stabilization algorithm lets videographers enjoy a handful of new smooth-footage features. For one, the gimbal provides 20 percent higher stability when compared to its predecessor. When SuperSmooth mode is on, videographers will enjoy the RS3’s motor torque. This further enhances stabilization, ultimately creating those buttery-smooth shots.

Strong and Sturdy

The DJI RS3 Pro isn’t just powerful. It’s designed to hold up to ten pounds of gear (roughly a Sony FX6 camera with a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens). It does all this while maintaining its own easily manageable 3.3-pound construction. This gimbal also boasts a sleek carbon fiber construction that’s built for even the most demanding days on set.

Pro-Quality Focusing

With the DJI RS3 Pro, videographers will enjoy top-notch focusing assistance via LiDAR focusing technology. The built-in LiDAR Range Finder projects 43,200 ranging points within an area of 14 meters, giving creators assurance the content they’re capturing is as sharp as can be. Additionally, the DJI RS3 Pro comes with DJI RS Focus Motor, which provides torque that’s three times stronger than predecessors, with noise reduced by 50 percent. Creators can also switch between manual and autofocus, with the additional perk of ActiveTrack Pro to monitor the subject throughout the shoot.

Top-Notch Video Transmission

Videographers will also love the all-new DJI Transmission, which can be paired with the RS3 Pro. This long-range wireless transmission supports 20,000 feet of ultra-long video and audio transmission, which gives crews the ultimate versatility on set.

Shoot Easier the RS3 Pro + New DZO Lens Kit

If you are looking for the most efficient lens kit for your new RS3 Pro, look no further than DZO’s new Vespid Cyber Prime Full-frame Lens Set. The kit comes with three lenses at the fixed focal lengths of 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm. The lenses allow you to auto focus and calibrate exclusively with the DJI RS3 Pro autofocus system for increased convenience. More application scenarios are expected to be be supported in the future.

For those who don’t need all the features of the RS3 Pro, the RS3 Gimbal is a simpler option at a lower price point:
