The DJI RS 4 Mini is a compact and lightweight gimbal for content creators and a real highlight in the combo version. Product images show optional accessories and application examples.
The DJI RS 4 Mini enables a more efficient and seamless filming experience for content creators and independent commercial videographers with automatic axis locking, intelligent tracking and composition, improved Teflon™ balancing and 3rd generation native vertical shooting.
The DJI RS 4 Mini features an automatic axis lock previously only found on DJI's flagship gimbals. The three axis locks are automatically unlocked when switched on and locked when switched off or at rest. This noticeably speeds up filming, transition and storage. The storage structure has also been improved: the axis arms can be folded flatter to save space. In combination with the automatic axis locks, the gimbal can be quickly stowed away with just one push of a button and can thus be conveniently transported in a bag.
The RS 4 Mini offers the fastest change between horizontal and vertical shots in the RS series. [3] To switch to vertical shooting, simply loosen and press the one-sided button, remove the gimbal's horizontal plate, rotate it 90° and then screw it back on. This can all be done in 10 seconds. This way, you can directly shoot vertical videos that are perfect for cell phone viewing, so your audience can enjoy your masterpiece even faster.
Do you find it difficult to keep your balance when installing a camera? The RS 4 Mini has been carefully improved by adding Teflon™ shims [4], previously used on DJI flagships, to reduce friction and make balancing easier.
The new fine adjustment knob on the tilt axis can move the camera forward or backward to achieve precise, millimeter-level balance. The top quick release plate offers three additional positioning slots that allow you to choose different installation positions depending on the camera, providing more leeway for balance. If you need to remove the camera from the gimbal and reattach it, the plate helps you reposition it quickly without affecting the balance.
The lightweight RS 4 Mini offers a payload capacity of 2 kg and easily handles combinations such as the Sony A7 series mirrorless camera with a 24-70 mm F2.8 GM II lens, as well as vlog cameras such as the Sony ZV series. In combination with microphones from the DJI Mic series [5], lighting and other accessories, it still enables smooth camera movements. [6] With the smartphone holder [7], you can quickly switch to a smartphone stabilizer. Its versatility adapts seamlessly to different scenarios.
After Bluetooth pairing [6], you can control the start/stop recording of your camera or phone directly via the gimbal's record button. The Zoom control function allows you to control the Power Zoom for PZ lenses and the Clear Image Zoom by simply pressing the joystick, making one-handed operation a breeze. A camera only needs to be paired once, after which it can reconnect seamlessly and automatically.
The touchscreen now displays icons more clearly and runs more smoothly. New gimbal status messages have been added, and when adjusting parameters, you can fine-tune values directly from the front dial. The touchscreen has an automatic lock function. Once locked, the screen displays the current gimbal and joystick modes at low brightness. This not only prevents accidental touches, but also helps to conserve battery power.
Briefcase
A next-generation briefcase handle [8] has been specially developed for the RS 4 Mini, which reduces the size by approx. 20 % [9] and the weight by approx. 28 g [9], making filming by hand more effortless.
The DJI RS Intelligent Tracking Module, a new universal accessory for the RS 4 series, helps beginners with intelligent follow-filming and composition [10], keeping the human subject in a consistent position within the frame. This is particularly useful for shooting from orbit, backward tracking and for self-following from a fixed camera position when filming alone. The module supports tracking from up to 10 meters away and works reliably even in complex scenes, e.g. in environments with several people. Even if the subject temporarily leaves the frame, the gimbal can find and track the subject again. [11]
The tracking module is equipped with a magnetic quick release so that it can be attached to the tilt axis in just one second and is ready to work with the gimbal. Thanks to the magnetic lock, it stays securely in place without loosening or falling off, ensuring a more reliable filming process.
With just one press of the shutter button, you can instantly target your subject and start or stop intelligent tracking so you can effortlessly keep up with your star. Or open your palm towards the tracking module and it will recognize you as a subject within 1 second and start/stop intelligent tracking - perfect for selfies and vlogs.
In Responsive mode, the gimbal responds faster to hand movements when starting and stopping, which is particularly suitable for fast orbit shots.
DJI's classic Smooth Follow mode is also retained and ensures a smooth response from the gimbal, making it ideal for regular follow shots or parallel tracking. By combining different tracking modes and speeds, you can create a wide range of shots.
The RS 4 Mini has been equipped with the 4th generation RS stabilization algorithm. It balances stabilization strength with the feel of the camera movement, providing excellent performance and an enhanced user experience. In addition, the RS 4 Mini offers significantly improved stability in vertical shots, so that dynamic shots, such as those taken while running or from low angles, can be stabilized with ease. In addition, the gimbal is optimized for compatibility with different cameras and automatically calibrates the motor strength to adapt to different scenarios.
Both the charging speed and battery life have been increased by 30% [12] compared to the last generation. With a maximum operating time of 13 hours [13], it offers sufficient power for all-day filming. It also supports the fast charging function, which enables 5 hours [13] of operating time with just a 30-minute charge.
With a weight of only 890 g, the RS 4 Mini offers a payload capacity of up to 2 kg. It supports a wide range of mirrorless cameras and lens combinations and offers high performance [6], e.g. an Sony A7 camera with a 24-70 mm F2.8 GM II lens and a DJI Mic series microphone receiver [5]. With its high-torque motors, the RS 4 Mini can take stable shots at Zoomen to the maximum focal length with the following recommended combinations without the need for re-positioning.

Balancing the gimbal is tricky. I had problems with devices other than SLR cameras. But even then it can't handle large microphones etc. In the end, I achieved good results by purchasing a Sony Alpha.
Das Ausbalanchieren des Gimbals ist heikel. Mit anderen Geräten als Spiegelreflex-Kameras hatte ich Probleme. Aber auch da verträgt es keine großen Mikros etc. Letztlich habe ich durch Erwerb einer Sony-Alpha doch gute Ergebnisse erzielt.
