The DJI RS 5 offers a significant leap in gimbal technology, combining advanced tracking capabilities with refined physical handling. This model introduces seamless subject selection via an integrated touchscreen and a new tracking module, allowing for enhanced intelligent composition during complex shoots. Balancing your gear is smoother than ever thanks to Teflon-coated arms, precision fine-tuning knobs, and a dedicated Z-axis indicator, while second-generation automated axis locks ensure the system is ready to film in seconds. Performance is further bolstered by a redesigned briefcase handle that provides direct gimbal and camera control, and an upgraded power system that delivers a full charge in just one hour and a 15% boost in total battery runtime.

The DJI RS 5 is a powerful and portable stabilisation system designed to support mainstream mirrorless setups, such as the Sony FX3 or Canon R5 Mark II, with a robust 3kg payload capacity. Despite its strength, the gimbal remains lightweight at just 1.46kg and features 5th-Gen stabilisation algorithms that provide a perfect balance between control and stability during fast-paced movement. A standout addition is the RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module, which is only included in the Combo Kit. This accessory allows users to select and track subjects, such as people, vehicles, and pets, directly from the touchscreen. This system can reacquire subjects at a range of up to 10 metres, while the new Z-axis indicator provides instant feedback to help users refine their footwork for even steadier footage.

Operational efficiency is at the core of the DJI RS 5 Gimbal, featuring second-generation automated axis locks for near-instant deployment and third-gen native vertical shooting that allows for a 90-degree orientation change in seconds. Balancing is made effortless through the use of Teflon-coated arms and fine-tuning knobs with a leadscrew mechanism, ensuring precision even with heavier professional kits. To streamline the workflow further, dual-layered quick-release plates allow for fast transitions between the gimbal and tripods without the need for rebalancing, while expanded Bluetooth shutter support now enables wireless control for specific Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras alongside Sony, Canon, and Nikon systems.

The creative experience is further enhanced by the new Electronic Briefcase Handle, which is also available in the Combo kit. This accessory offers ergonomic single-handed operation with integrated joystick and camera controls. Power management has also seen a significant upgrade in this DJI Ginbal, with the standard battery reaching a full charge in just one hour, a 60% improvement in charging speed, and offering a 14-hour runtime.  Additionally, the inclusion of an RSA communication port and support for the DJI Focus Pro Motor and SDR Transmission system allows the RS 5 to scale from solo operations to professional multi-person film crews.
