RS 3 Mini, 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for Cameras Canon/Sony/Panasonic/Nikon/Fujifilm, 2 kg (4.4 lbs) Tested Payload, Camera Gimbal with Native Vertical Shooting, Black

🎥 Product Review: DJI RS 3 Mini 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer⭐ Rating: 4.6/5The DJI RS 3 Mini is a really strong option for creators who want smooth footage without carrying a huge, heavy gimbal. Its biggest strengths are portability, solid stabilization, and support for vertical shooting, but most professional reviews also note that it’s best suited for lighter mirrorless setups rather than heavier pro rigs. DJI lists it at about 795g in portrait mode / 850g horizontal with a tested payload of 0.4–2 kg (0.8–4.4 lbs).✅ What I Like🔹 Very lightweight and travel-friendlyThis is one of the biggest reasons people like it. Professional reviewers and DJI both highlight how compact and easy it is to carry compared with larger gimbals, which makes it great for weddings, events, travel shoots, and run-and-gun content.🔹 Smooth stabilization for mirrorless camerasThe RS 3 Mini inherits DJI’s RS-series stabilization approach, and reviewers generally praise it for delivering pro-looking movement for its size class. DJI also positions it as supporting mainstream mirrorless combinations, including setups like a Sony A7S III with a 24–70mm f/2.8 GM.🔹 Great for content creators and solo shootersBecause it’s smaller and easier to handle one-handed, it’s especially useful for YouTube, social media content, event coverage, and quick shoots where a bigger rig would slow you down. That’s a common theme in professional coverage of this model.🔹 Native vertical shooting supportA big plus if you create reels, TikToks, Shorts, or other vertical video. DJI specifically calls out the ability to switch between horizontal and vertical shooting without extra accessories.⚠️ Things to Consider🔸 Payload is good, but not for everythingDJI rates it for up to 2 kg, but that does not mean every 2 kg setup will feel equally comfortable in real-world use. Professional reviewers tend to frame this as a gimbal that shines with compact mirrorless builds, not bulky cinema-style camera/lens combos.🔸 Manual axis locksOne drawback compared with newer or higher-tier models is that the RS 3 Mini uses manual axis locks, not automated locking. That can make setup and packing a little less convenient. DJI confirms this directly.🔸 Less “pro convenience” than bigger modelsThis is more of a streamlined, portable gimbal than a fully loaded pro system. That’s part of what makes it great, but it also means some users may eventually want a more advanced model if they move into heavier production work. This is an inference based on DJI’s positioning and reviewer comparisons to larger RS models.🎯 Best ForMirrorless camera usersWedding and event shootersTravel videographersYouTubers and content creatorsAnyone who wants a lighter alternative to a full-size gimbal💡 Final VerdictThe DJI RS 3 Mini is one of the best options if you want strong stabilization in a smaller, easier-to-carry package. Its biggest selling point is portability, and the main tradeoff is that it’s better for lighter setups and lacks some premium convenience features like auto axis locks. For a lot of creators, though, that tradeoff is worth it.

I purchased this gimbal to pair with my Canon R6 MkIII and a 50mm anamorphic lens for video work. Granted the setup instructions are a bit sparse, it didn't take long to figure it out and get it balanced. The touch screen is a bit small for my fingers but doesn't need to be accessed that often. The little trip base supplied with it is nice but is a bit insufficient when a bigger lens is used. It boasts NATO mounting points for accessories (I have a 7" wide screen monitor on it) which wirk okay, but balancing it and a table can be unpredictable. For the price, this gimbal can't be beat! DJI created a great device that you'll wonder how you never got by without one! Highly recommended!

Solid product, but didn’t do what I wanted it to do. So sent it back.

I couldn’t ask for anything more affordable and durable, this gimbal has improved my videography work tremendously and I plan. The battery life last almost a whole day, it’s easily adjustable. It is quite heavy after long use, it’s as if it’s compatible with any camera especially my canon M50 or any device (I will try my phone lol).

I wanted to love this gimbal, I really did. At first it worked out beautifully and with no issues. But 7 months have gone by and now the roll motor is randomly skipping and stuttering for no apparent reason. I've gone through every method of troubleshooting DJI has released for the device, and have literally exhausted all options. There's either a problem with the servo, or the controller board itself.Just fyi, I have absolutely treated this gimbal like a baby. It's never been outside my house, and when not in use, lives comfortably standing on a solid shelf. No drops, no bonks, no dust, no damage. Not so much as a scratch. Seriously, it looks like it just came out of the box, and has been used maybe 6 or 7 times thus far.I'm not going to even bother to get it repaired, as this has completely turned me off to DJI gimbals from here on out. There's no way I'd trust one for a project after this. I bought a gimbal another from a competitor. SO ticked off at this...

I just received this, so my review is mostly first impressions. I'm also a more casual user than a professional videographer.I will be traveling a bit, and I wanted to get stabilized footage of areas I'll be going to, so when DJI released this, it was super intriguing. I have the original Ronin, which I like, but was considerably more bulky. It was nice when I got it for use with a DSLR, but I have since upgraded to a R5. This was advertised to work with a R5 and 24-70mm f/2.8. Despite that, all of the initial reviews seem to be with Sony cameras, which doesn't tell me much about its compatibility with my R5.One of the things I really like about this is the capability to lock the pan/tilt/roll axes, which means you can balance each individually. I didn't have this in the original Ronin, so this makes life so much easier. That being said, the R5 is bulkier than the Sony cameras, and I have to push the roll axis, in particular, to its limit in order to balance it. But according to the app, it's balanced. It generally works with the screen flipped out, but I don't think it's as happy about that. I will probably have to remove the viewfinder eye cup because it can catch on the RS3 Mini when I invert the gimbal. I will be getting a RODE VideoMic NTG which I would like to mount on the camera. I think it should work fine, but it'll probably limit some of the movement I can do.I tried connecting via bluetooth to this, and while after a little bit a wait, it connected to the camera. I like this particular feature because it gets rid of wires. However, I was not able to get it to record or adjust focus by pressing the record button or dial on the RS3 Mini. Maybe that's an R5 issue? Fixed with a firmware update? The included USB-C to USB-C cable allows for control of the camera. It's not super obtrusive, so if that's the option I have to live with, I'm okay with that.I really like how light this is. It will be great for travel. It would be nice to have the battery grip removable so that you can really compact this down, but I imagine that would add weight.I haven't tried it in its native vertical shooting. Not sure how much I will do with that, to be honest, but I suppose it's a nice option to have should I want to use it.Those are my first impressions. It's a nice little gimbal for a reasonable price. I think it'll serve well in a travel situation to get stabilized video. Maybe there will be some changes for the RS4 Mini, but for now, I'm happy with this.

Elevates your video footage and has so much functionality. A bit of a pain to set up and balance but once you understand how to do it then it becomes much easier.

Love this gimbal. This is my second DJI gimbal; the first was an OM4 for the iPhone. This is an upgrade for our new Sony a6700. It works great after getting it balanced correctly. One improvement I recommend is DJI providing a quick start guide for how to balance it first before having pulling on parts without knowing what they do and without having to download an app to look for instructions. Otherwise, this is really well made, sturdy, and very well thought it. Definitely recommend.

Nachdem mein Manfrotto 300XM Gimbal den unvorhergesehenen Akku-Tod gestorben ist, musste schnell was neues her - also kurz gegoogelt und für meine Zwecke das optimale kleine Gimbal heraus gesucht, mit dem die Reparaturzeit überbrückt werden kann:Mein SetUp:DJI RS3 Mini mit AktentaschengriffNikon Z30 mit NIKKOR Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VRAtomos ShinobiSmallRig Cage für die Z30SmallRig Cage für das Atomos ShinobiSmallRig HawkLock Magic ArmSmallRig Schnellspannklemme für DJI RS 3 MiniRØDE VideoMicroMechanisch paßt alles prima zusammen - Kamera in den Cage, Mikro ans Cage, Klemme am Gimbal ausgetauscht, Aktentaschengrif montiert, Kamera ins Gimbal und alles ausbalanciert . Dann den Monitor mit dem Gelenk an den Aktentaschengriff und alles verkabelt.Das Drama ging aber danach los - die Software und die Registrierung des Gimbals: Die Android-Software für das Gimbal ist nicht im PlayStore gelistet, weil wohl einige Datenschutzbestimmungen nicht erfüllt werden. Also die Software direkt von DJI geladen und als APK instlliert. Das gefällt mir nicht so, geht aber nicht anders. Für die Registrierung braucht man das Etikett von der Verpackung mit der Seriennummer als Barcode. Den muss man in der Ronin App scannen und die Software wird nach umfangreicher Registrierung bei DJI mit dem Gimbal verheiratet und das Gimbal wird frei geschaltet.Das Ergebnis läßt sich sehen. Das Gimbal ist deutlich leichter als das von Manfrotto, trägt aber auch nur die Häfte. Die Stabilisierung ist sehr gut, alle Taster liegen gut in der Hand und das Touch-Display ist für meine Wurstfinger auch gerade noch geeignet. Die Verarbeitung ist wie bei allen DJI Produkten sehr gut, haptisch ist das Gimbal auch klasse, es faßt sich einfach prima an. Das können nicht alle so gut.Ich warte jetzt noch auf die Möglichkeit den Powerzoom des Objektivs vom Gimbal aus zu steuern, das geht wohl in der aktuellen Version noch nicht, aber DJI ist findig und entwickelt kontinuierlich weiter. Viele Verbesserungen fließen dann auch in die älteren Geräte mit ein. Dies ist ein Vorteil, den Manfrotto (oder der Zulieferer) hat die Pflege eingestellt.Fazit: Für kleine leichte SetUps und einfache Aufgaben wie ich sie mir stelle reicht das DJI RS3Mini vollkommen aus!PS: Eine Lösung für die separate Tonaufnahme habe ich noch nicht. Und ob ich da noch was ans Gimbal gebaut bekomme - abwarten und ich werde berichten was ich wie wo dran geschraubt habe!PPS: Mobiles Licht - auch da muss ich mir noch Gedanken machen ...

ممتاز لكن شوي صعب في البداية كيف تركب الكاميرا و للاسف بعد سبوع من شريته نزل الإصدار الجديدملاحظة تأكد من وزن الكاميرا قبل تشتري

Soy fotógrafo y creador de contenido, y después de probar varios estabilizadores me decidí por el DJI RS3 Mini. No me he equivocado: es justo lo que necesitaba para mi equipo.Lo primero que sorprende es lo ligero y compacto que es, ideal para llevarlo en sesiones o viajes sin que suponga una carga extra. A pesar de su tamaño reducido, transmite la misma solidez y fiabilidad que sus hermanos mayores de la serie RS.En cuanto a uso, el equilibrado es rápido y sencillo gracias a sus nuevos sistemas de bloqueo. En apenas unos minutos lo tienes listo para grabar. Además, soporta sin problema cámaras como la Canon R6 o la Fujifilm X-T5 con objetivos de tamaño medio, lo que me da mucha versatilidad entre proyectos de bodas, moda o vídeo corporativo.Los modos de estabilización (PF, PTF, FPV, etc.) funcionan a la perfección y permiten pasar de un movimiento suave a uno más dinámico en segundos. También me resulta muy práctico el control Bluetooth del obturador, que me evita depender de cables.Otro detalle que me ha convencido es la batería integrada, que ofrece una autonomía más que suficiente para una jornada de rodaje normal y se recarga bastante rápido por USB-C. El conjunto se completa con una mini rótula desmontable y placa de liberación rápida Arca-Swiss, que facilitan mucho cambiar entre trípode y gimbal.En definitiva, el DJI RS3 Mini es una herramienta compacta pero muy profesional. Me permite trabajar con fluidez, conseguir tomas estables sin esfuerzo y mantener un equipo ligero, algo clave cuando tienes que moverte mucho. Totalmente recomendable para fotógrafos y creadores de contenido que quieren la calidad de un gimbal profesional en un formato más manejable.

e DJI RS 3 Mini s’est révélé être un excellent compagnon pour mes projets de tournage. Son poids plume (environ 795 g) et son design compact le rendent facile à transporter et à utiliser, même pendant de longues séances. C’est particulièrement appréciable lorsque je filme des événements ou des paysages nécessitant des déplacements fréquents.Points forts :La stabilisation est impressionnante, même en mode portrait. Que ce soit pour des vidéos en marchant ou en suivant un sujet en mouvement rapide, les séquences restent fluides. La possibilité de passer en mode vertical sans accessoire supplémentaire est un vrai atout pour le contenu destiné aux réseaux sociaux. De plus, sa capacité à supporter une charge utile jusqu’à 2 kg permet d’utiliser une grande variété d’appareils photo hybrides.Points à améliorer :Cependant, l’équilibrage initial de l’appareil peut s’avérer frustrant, surtout pour les novices. Il m’a fallu plusieurs essais pour maîtriser cette étape, ce qui aurait pu être simplifié avec des tutoriels plus clairs ou des guides intégrés. De plus, bien que la batterie tienne une journée de tournage modérée, elle peut montrer ses limites lors de sessions particulièrement longues.Mon expérience :Je l’ai principalement utilisé pour capturer des moments spontanés lors de voyages. Grâce à son poids léger, je pouvais l’avoir constamment à portée de main sans me fatiguer. Une fois bien configuré, il a apporté une qualité cinématographique à mes vidéos, ce qui a été très apprécié par mon entourage.En résumé :Le DJI RS 3 Mini est une excellente solution pour les vidéastes recherchant un stabilisateur portable et performant. Bien qu’il demande un peu de patience pour être pris en main, le résultat final en vaut largement la peine. Quelques ajustements dans la conception utilisateur pourraient en faire un produit quasi parfait.

Great Product, Does what it needs to and surprisingly handles full frame cameras well. Paired with a Canon R6 mki
