While it can’t hold heavy camera setups, the DJI RS 3 Mini makes up for it when its portability and stability features.
Better known for its drones, DJI has several cinematography accessory lines that aim to meet the various needs of content creators from pocket cameras to handheld gimbals. Today, the company is launching a new addition to its Ronin Stabilizer line with the RS 3 Mini.
YouTube creators will get a big kick out of the RS 3 Mini as it’s better suited for small productions. Compared to its two big brothers, the base RS 3 and RS 3 Pro models, this gimble is smaller and weighs less than 800 g (1.8 lbs), making it both easier to carry and use with just one hand.
Because of its smaller size, it can’t carry big hefty DSLR camera and lens combinations. The RS 3 Mini maxes out at 2 kg (4.4 lb) so users will have to opt for smaller setups. The company recommends using a Sony A7S III or Canon EOS R5. A full list of compatible cameras can be found on DJI’s website (opens in new tab).
