DJI RS 3 Mini

The very first mini version of the RS series, the DJI RS 3 Mini is a small, lightweight handheld stabilizer with a strong payload capacity. It supports common mirrorless camera and lens combinations and inherits the excellent stabilization performance of the RS 3 series. Unleash your full shooting potential with the DJI RS 3 Mini and achieve professional results effortlessly.

Lightweight and reliable
The RS 3 Mini adopts a new, innovative design that includes a smaller build, built-in battery and true vertical shooting. The compact and handy body fits easily into a shoulder bag so you can travel light. The RS 3 Mini is about half the size of the RS 3 Pro. This makes it much more comfortable to carry for long exposures.

Super light, easy to control
The RS 3 Mini weighs only 795 g in portrait mode, which is about 50 % lighter than the RS 3 Pro and 40 % lighter than the RS 3 [1]. It weighs only 850 g when shooting with the horizontal arm. In addition, a concentrated center of gravity provides a more stable and ergonomic carrying experience.

Simply powerful
The RS 3 Mini has a payload capacity of up to 2 kg, making it the best in its class* in terms of weight, so it can easily handle larger configurations such as an Sony A7S3 + 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens. It supports popular full-frame or APS-C mirrorless cameras and enables a wide range of camera and lens combinations. [2] With high-torque motors, the RS 3 Mini can maintain a stable shot with most lenses, even when zoomed to the maximum focal length, without the need for repositioning.
*As of January 2023.

Ready for cinema shooting - Professional stabilization
With the same outstanding RS stabilization algorithm (3rd generation) of the RS 3 Pro, the RS 3 Mini can achieve professional image stabilization. Whether you're shooting while running, shooting from a low angle or filming in flashlight mode, your footage will always remain stable.

Extensive camera movements
The size and functions of the RS 3 Mini offer many possibilities to achieve extensive camera movements and a unique film language. Camera shake is no longer a problem. So you can capture every moment right from the start and film with more confidence.

Flexible and comprehensive
An improved dual-layer quick-release plate features a top plate with a curved positioning guide that prevents the camera from rotating and loosening. Efficiency is further improved with clear mounting and locking markings. It also follows the ARCA standard, making it easy to switch between tripods.

True vertical shots
With the DJI RS 3 Mini, the RS series has achieved a breakthrough in true vertical shooting. Switch to vertical shots immediately without additional accessories. Simply attach the standard quick-release plate to the vertical arm of the gimbal and shoot videos that are directly optimized for social media.

Compared to portrait modes on other gimbals, the gimbal rotation angle of the RS 3 Mini is greatly extended in native vertical mode. It even offers the same control experience as in horizontal mode. It is also easy to film in upright mode, hanging mode, flashlight mode and other modes.

NATO extension connector
The RS 3 Mini is equipped with a NATO connector to support the installation of accessories such as briefcase handle, external lights and monitors, allowing for more configurations and greater flexibility.

Intuitive operation
The RS 3 Mini features the same Bluetooth record button that was introduced on the RS 3 Pro. This feature supports popular mirrorless camera models and allows the RS 3 Mini to automatically reconnect to a camera after initial pairing. [2]

After Bluetooth pairing, you can control the video and photo recording functions of your camera directly via the record button on the gimbal. If you are using an Sony camera with a supported digital lens, you can control the optical or digital Zoom of the lens directly from the front dial, eliminating the need for a camera control cable. [2]

Gimbal mode button
Press the M button to switch between PF (Follows with Pan), PTF (Follows with Pan and Tilt) and FPV modes. You can also adjust the follow speed and other parameters of the RS 3 Mini on the touchscreen, allowing for a smoother and more intuitive shooting experience.

1.4" full color touch screen
The RS 3 Mini features a 1.4" full-color touchscreen with a new user interface. Here you can set most functions without the app and access general settings quickly and intuitively.

Focusing with the front dial
Like the rest of the DJI RS series, the RS 3 Mini features an ergonomic front dial that can be rotated to adjust focus, ISO, aperture, shutter and other parameters. [3] Control the movement of the gimbal's three axes with the front dial for more effective one-person shooting.

10 hours of continuous shooting
The integrated battery in the handle supports a runtime of up to 10 hours and provides enough power to fully meet the demands of all-day shooting. [4] Fully charge the RS 3 Mini in just 2.5 hours to get back up and running quickly. You can even use it while charging. [5]

Let yourself be inspired
The Ronin app is full of smart features that inspire.

Time Lapse
Add a time-lapse to any video to create an engaging opening or a stunning transition.

Track
Set the gimbal to move along up to 10 preset points to create a dynamic video of any scene or environment.

Panorama
Use a panoramic photo to capture more of any landscape and capture the overall image.

DJI Mic for professional audio recording
Combine RS 3 Mini with DJI Mic to effortlessly enhance vlogs with audio to achieve higher quality. [6] The integrated design makes the DJI Mic ready to use straight out of the charging cradle. The compact wireless microphone can transmit at distances of up to 250 meters and can support up to 15 hours of recording with the charging cradle. The transmitters are lightweight and easy to handle. With the magnetic accessory, the microphone can also be mounted inconspicuously so that you can handle numerous recording scenarios with confidence.
