DJI RS 5 Gimbal Stabilizer

The DJI RS 5 Gimbal Stabilizer is a powerful and refined camera stabilizer built for filmmakers and content creators who demand precision, efficiency, and professional-grade performance in a compact system.

With a lightweight body supporting up to a 3 kg payload, it is well-suited for mirrorless and compact cinema camera setups, offering excellent portability without compromising stability. The upgraded 5th-generation cinema stabilization ensures ultra-smooth footage, even during fast movements or handheld shooting.

A key innovation is the Z-axis vertical indicator, which enhances leveling accuracy and improves vertical stabilization—especially useful for dynamic shots and vertical content. The 3rd-generation native vertical shooting allows seamless switching to portrait orientation, making it ideal for social media and mobile-first production.

The RS 5 introduces 2nd-generation automated axis locks, enabling faster setup and breakdown by automatically locking and unlocking the axes—saving time during transitions between शूटिंग scenarios.

Equipped with a separate AI tracking and framing module, the gimbal enables intelligent subject tracking and automated composition, helping creators achieve smooth, professional shots with minimal manual input. The separate electronic control handle adds further flexibility for advanced control setups.

Designed for efficiency, the gimbal supports fast charging via a 65W PD charger, reaching a full charge in just one hour, minimizing downtime on set. The OLED touchscreen with auto-lock provides intuitive control while preventing accidental inputs during operation.

For enhanced usability, it supports joystick or Bluetooth mode switching, allowing wireless camera control and flexible shooting workflows. The Teflon-coated axes improve balancing precision, making adjustments smoother and more accurate.

Combining intelligent features, fast operation, and industry-leading stabilization, the DJI RS 5 Gimbal Stabilizer is an excellent choice for creators looking to produce cinematic footage with greater control and efficiency.

Product Features in Detail

DJI RS 5 Lightweight Commercial Stabilizer
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 3kg (6.6lbs) payload capacity, it can carry mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations [4] with ease.

New Electronic Briefcase Handle [2]
The new Electronic Briefcase Handle [2] offers intuitive, effortless single‑handed operation, featuring a joystick and buttons that control the gimbal and camera for more creative angles.

Longer Runtime, Fully Charged in 1 Hour [3]
Fully charge DJI RS 5 in just one hour—a 60% increase in speed. The standard battery delivers approximately 14 hours of standby time, a 15% improvement [3].

DJI RS BG70 High-Capacity Battery Grip
The new BG70 High-Capacity Battery Grip [5] can extend RS 5's battery standby time to 30 hours [6].

New Bluetooth Shutter Support for Panasonic & Fujifilm
In addition to cameras from Sony, Canon, and Nikon, the RS 5's Bluetooth shutter now supports specific Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras [7], enabling wireless control of shutter, zoom, and Clear Image Zoom with no cables required.

Z-Axis Indicator
The new Z‑Axis Indicator gives you instant feedback to fine‑tune your footsteps for steadier, more professional shots.

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 features 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.
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.

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.
