The new DJI RS 4 Mini is a compact and lightweight gimbal for cameras and smartphones, an ideal accessory for content creators.
Weighing just 890g or less than two pounds, the RS 4 Mini can carry payloads up to 2kg (4.4 pounds). Designed for the quick-filming needs, it comes the automated axis locks first introduced in DJI’s flagship gimbals, allowing for faster setups, transitions, and breakdowns. There’s also a new intelligent tracking module, faster switching to vertical shooting, and Teflon coating for a smoother balancing experience.
The RS 4 Mini incorporates many features from DJI’s flagship gimbals, allowing creators to work more efficiently. With the second-gen auto-axis locks, creators can unlock the gimbal’s three-axis locks in one second, speeding up the filming, transition, and storage processes.
The third-gen Native Vertical Switch offers the fastest switch experience in the RS series. With the upgrades to Teflon interlayers and a fine-tuning knob, the RS 4 Mini can achieve smoother and more precise millimeter-level balancing when installing a camera, says DJI.
The RS 4 Mini Combo comes standard with the new DJI RS Intelligent Tracking Module for intelligent framing and composition. Enabling ActiveTrack on any camera system or phone with or without the DJI Ronin app, it can keep a human subject in frame up to 10 meters, even in complex environments. Tracking can be enabled with one push of the trigger or an open-palm visual command.
In the new Responsive mode, the gimbal responds faster to hand movements upon start or stop, designed to suit fast-moving subject circling shots. Meanwhile, the classic Smooth follow mode provides a fluid gimbal response, ideally for normal subject following shots.
The RS 4 Mini offers improved stability when shooting vertically. Compared to the DJI RS 3 Mini, the charging speed and battery life have increased by 30%, extending the operating time to 13 hours. It also supports fast charging, allowing five hours of use after a 30-minute charge.
It supports a range of mainstream mirrorless cameras and lens combinations. Designed for the RS 4 Mini, the next-gen RS Briefcase Handle is 20% smaller and 28 g lighter than the current DJI RS Briefcase Handle.
The tracking module features a magnetic quick-release design, allowing it to attach to the tilt axis in one second. The magnetic locking design will stay securely in place without loosening or falling off, ensuring a more reliable filming process.
The DJI RS 4 Mini retails for US$369 and includes one gimbal, quick-release plate, RS 4 Mini tripod, L-shaped multi-camera control cable, USB-C charging cable, and one screw kit. The DJI RS 4 Mini Combo retails for US$459 and adds an RS Intelligent Tracking Module and RS 4 Mini Briefcase Handle.
