\"DJI<\/a>
\nExciting news broke earlier this month by DJI as they announced the latest addition to their amazing lineup of gimbal stabilizers with the RS 3 Mini<\/a>.\u00a0 With its release date in early January, the DJI RS 3 gimbal stabilizer brings the power and efficiency of a professional camera stabilizer to mainstream cameras.\u00a0 That translates into you taking smooth, clear, and beautifully stabilized images and video, regardless of your skill level.\u00a0 The RS 3 Mini is the perfect compact gimbal stabilizer for professionals, hobbyists, and adventurers.\u00a0 Whether you\u2019re going on a wedding shoot, photographing nature, or filming a high flying move on your skateboard, the DJI RS 3 mini has practical uses for everyone.<\/p>\n

What does a Gimbal Stabilizer do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In its simplest form of explanation, a gimbal stabilizer keeps your camera steady while you\u2019re shooting.\u00a0 This is especially useful to keep your shots smooth during sequences where your camera is moving.\u00a0 A gimbal stabilizer holds your frame steady by mounting the camera at a level position with the ability for rotations and pivots of its axis.\u00a0 This keeps your camera from bouncing, shaking, and jolting, when your shooting or filming, resulting in a maintained, smooth, and steady frame.\u00a0 Camera Stabilizers are what Hollywood uses to keep those unbelievable car chase scenes smooth and immersive for their viewers.<\/p>\n

RS 3 Mini\u2019s 3rd<\/sup> Gen Stabilization<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even though the RS 3 Mini was designed for the masses, DJI did not waver in its quality or power.\u00a0 The RS 3 Mini features the same 3rd<\/sup> generation stabilization algorithms as the DJI RS 3 Pro Gimbal, giving you unprecedented top-level performance even when running or shooting at odd angles.\u00a0 Imagine being able to get a level shot at a difficult angle without having to bend your arms and body in unnatural ways.\u00a0 With the RS 3 Mini, your footwork and movements won\u2019t cause you problems keeping your shots steady, smooth, and perfectly stabilized from any position.\u00a0 And, with a dynamic 360-degree rotation, the RS 3 Mini gives you more creative power to produce immersive stills and video that keeps your viewers at the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n

Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed and built specifically for use with mainstream mirrorless cameras and lenses, the RS 3 Mini<\/a> supports cameras that are used most by photographers and videographers.<\/p>\n

Featuring the power and ability of the DJI RS 3 Pro Gimbal\u2019s 3rd<\/sup> gen stabilization algorithm, the RS 3 Mini delivers the same superb stabilization performance but in a much smaller package.\u00a0 The RS 3 Mini was designed to only need one hand to hold and operate and weighs less than 1.8lbs (800g) vs the RS 3 Pro\u2019s 6.6bs.\u00a0 The payload of the RS 3 Mini can hold up to 4.4lbs or 2kg, which supports most full frame mirrorless camera setups.\u00a0 These specs are a treat for mainstream photographers and videographers because until now, this class of cameras never had a proper gimbal stabilizer meant for them.<\/p>\n

The RS 3 Mini was designed for simple carry setups but does offer the option for added handles and grip attachments via its NATO rails.\u00a0 There are locks in every access point which balances each axis in isolation to ensure your camera maintains stable in your desired position.\u00a0 Using an ARCA Swiss compatible quick release plate, it is easy to swap between cameras and lens changes.\u00a0 When folded down, the RS 3 Mini will fit perfectly in your gear bag.\u00a0 The measurement of the RS 3 Mini when folded down is 7.1\u201dx6.3\u201dx11.7\u201d.<\/p>\n

The battery of the RS 3 Mini takes compact a step further by integrating an internal rechargeable battery which is unlike DJI\u2019s larger gimbal stabilizers that uses an external detachable battery grip.\u00a0 The RS 3 Mini brings the controls to your fingertips with a 1.4-inch full color touchscreen display.\u00a0 With the convenience of video recording and image capture functions, an M-Mode button to select from 3 different custom modes, and a front dial with focusing control, you have all the control you need, right at your fingertips.<\/p>\n

One particularly attractive key feature that will get social media content creators excited is the RS 3 Mini\u2019s ability to quickly swap between orientations. \u00a0Alternating between landscape and portrait orientations can be done on the RS 3 Mini in 3 simple steps.\u00a0 First release the mount, then remove the leg and reinsert it vertically or horizontally for your desired orientation.\u00a0 This is a huge win for any photographer with an audience who views content on their smartphones, especially thrill seekers who need stabilization to record their content.<\/p>\n

Camera and Lens Compatibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

The RS 3 Mini<\/a> is meant for everyone, so naturally this mighty little stabilizer will need to be compatible with your camera and lens.\u00a0 The RS 3 Mini features a powerful motor which will ensure maximum stabilization and control when using your camera and lens.\u00a0 The balancing on the RS 3 Mini is so efficient that even when your zoom lens is extended to its maximum focal length, the RS 3 Mini will keep your frame in perfect balance, without the need for adjustments when zooming.\u00a0 DJI has a compatibility search web page that lists the broad range of compatible digital cameras and lenses for all their gimbals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Connections<\/strong><\/p>\n

Linking the RS 3 Mini to your camera is simple.\u00a0 You can connect your camera to the RS 3 Mini using a USB-C or the Wireless Bluetooth Shutter function.\u00a0 When linked, all you must do is turn it on.\u00a0 One awesome thing about the RS 3 Mini is that you won\u2019t need any annoying camera control cables which can accidentally tug on your camera and ruin a great shot.\u00a0 The RS 3 Mini lets you control video recording and configure the control dial to access photo capture functions like ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, directly from the gimbal controls.\u00a0 The RS 3 Mini can even directly control supported power lenses optical and digital zoom, making operation clean and enhance efficiency in your workflows.<\/p>\n

Battery<\/strong><\/p>\n

The RS 3 Mini\u2019s fully integrated internal battery can charge rather quickly in as little as 2.5 hours and gives you up to 10 hours of battery life.\u00a0 Essentially, you should have more than enough juice to last a complete workday of shooting.\u00a0 The battery is internal which is also a bit simpler to manage than external battery grips and helps for storage and travel.<\/p>\n

Using the Ronin App, you can get even more out of the RS 3 Mini with 3 more intelligent shooting functions to help expand your ideas and creations to your audience.<\/p>\n
