DJI RS 3 Mini 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer

Okie dokie, this thing is a beast. I used it with my canon 90D and 70-105 lens. The camera and lens combo is heavy, and attached to this gymbal the whole set up is very heavy, but the gymbal itself isn’t that heavy at all- but you know you are holding something extremly well made.
I now have guns like “the Rock” after carrying this around for a day with my camera and lens attached, but with a smaller camera/lens combo you would have a hard time even noticing the weight of it.
The gymbal is very stable and very easy to use. The whole balancing act is somewhat tough when following the directions given, but I found several youtube videos that demonstrate how to balance everything. After watching those, the instructions made better sense. Once balanced, this is sooooo smooth.
The app is very handy, but DJI wants WAY too much info and the user agreements pretty much say DJI has access to your whole life and that of your offspring and distance releatives as well. Read the agreements very carefully before committing to using the app.
However, I decided to use the app and the features available do give you quite a bit of extra controls to use.
The tripod/handle is such a good design. I set my camera/gymbal up on a gym floor for an indoor drumline event and was able to control the gymbal from the stands to track the movement of the group- so awesome and sooooo stable. On the app they give you the ability to move the camera with a virtual joystick, which is a really great design but you have to be in close proximity to see the camera screen unless you spend extra for their attachment that allows you to view on another device.
Battery life: excellent. I shot all day and didn’t have to charge the battery. I had to on my camera, but not on the gymbal.
Build quality: This thing is built like a tank, but isn’t overly heavy. It comes with a base plate that attaches to the camera and mine came with a taller base plate along with a lens support which is pretty handy. It also came with thumb screws that have a little handle so you don’t need a screwdriver to tighten the baseplates. When you pick it up, you know you are holding something that is extremly well made.
The screen on the handle is very handy, but using the menu system took just a bit of practice to get use to.
The packaging: it is packaged pretty well, but when you unfold the gymbal it it is rather tight and at first I wasn’t sure I unfolded it correctly. After watching a few vids on the gymbal, one said it was suppose to be hard to unfold so after that I was fine. Just kind of unnerving trying to unfold such an expensive gymbal for the first time.
The directions- just eh. I found better info on youtube to set it up.
The handle has a joy stick so you can easily control the camera. Only real issue I had with it was that Canon has a flip out screen that you can adjust up and down, only when using the gymbal I found that I couldn’t fold the screen out and adjust it so it had to fit stationary on the back of the camera which made for a few issues when shooting outside because of lighting and glare on the screen.
Overall, this is an excellent gymbal and every shot was smooth as can be.
Only thing I wish it had was a carying case.
I highly recommend it, even if you have a heaver camera and lens combo.

Produto excelente muito bom material de boa qualidade muito prático para usar

Sin duda es dolor de cabeza y angustia comprar algo y no estar seguro si es lo que te imaginas, bueno este estabilizador me sorprendió. fácil armarlo y desarmarlo, fácil ajustarlo, fácil, guiarte por el menú, y muy versátil durante la filmación. La batería dura muchísimo, es liviano, obvio si cansa la pose, pero no he terminado con dolor de brazo u hombro o cadera. Eso si, desde que lo abras, ten tu smartphone listo para registrarlo porque si no lo registras en la sexta ocasión no va a jalar. REGISTRALO en DJI según las instrucciones. Después eres libre para hacer lo que quieras. lo uso con una FX30 y me va super bien!!!

I’ve been using the DJI RS 3 Mini Gimbal for a few months now with my Canon EOS M50, and it has significantly enhanced my filming experience. As someone who often shoots on the move, the lightweight and portable design of this gimbal is a game-changer. Weighing only 795g (1.75 lbs), it’s incredibly easy to carry around during long shoots, whether I’m trekking through nature or capturing bustling city scenes.

The stabilization on the RS 3 Mini is exceptional. Even when running or moving quickly, it delivers smooth and professional-looking footage. The 3rd-generation RS stabilization algorithm ensures that low-angle shots and filming in flashlight mode are handled with ease, providing pro-level image stabilization.

One of the standout features for me is the Bluetooth Shutter Control. It reconnects automatically after the initial pairing, making it effortless to control photo capture and video recording directly from the gimbal. This feature is particularly useful when I need to react quickly to capture spontaneous moments.

The gimbal’s versatility is another major plus. It’s compatible with a wide range of cameras, from mirrorless to compact cinema cameras, and supports payloads up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs). This flexibility allows me to use different camera and lens combinations without worrying about stability.

The 1.4″ full-color touchscreen is a fantastic addition. It’s intuitive and provides easy access to frequently used settings, which is great when I’m adjusting on the fly. The native vertical shooting mode is also incredibly handy for creating content for social media platforms.

Overall, the DJI RS 3 Mini has exceeded my expectations. It’s compact, lightweight, and offers excellent stabilization and ease of use. Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or a beginner, this gimbal is a valuable tool that enhances the quality of your videos. If you’re looking for a reliable and portable gimbal, I highly recommend the DJI RS 3 Mini.
