DJI RS 4 Mini Gimbal Stabilizer

While the gimbal supports mirrorless camera rigs up to 4.4 lb, you can convert the RS 4 Mini into a smartphone gimbal with the optional Phone Holder. The phone holder offers more features and range of movement than a standard smartphone holder. The holder can also be used to monitor your camera image via the Ronin smartphone app.

The RS 4 Mini adds auto axis locks previously found on DJI's flagship gimbals, which allow the three axis locks to automatically unlock upon power-on and lock upon power-off or sleep. This speeds up the filming, transitioning, and storage processes. The storage structure has also been upgraded, with the axis arms folding flatter to save space. Combined with automated axis locks, the gimbal can be stored quickly with the press of a button, making it easy to fit into a bag for convenient carrying.

The gimbal offers the fastest switch between horizontal and vertical shooting in the RS series. To switch to vertical shooting, simply loosen and press the single-side knob, remove the gimbal's horizontal plate, rotate it 90°, and then tighten it back in place. This can all be done in approximately 10 seconds, quickly switching to vertical videos, well-suited for mobile phone capture for social media sites.

The RS 4 Mini has been meticulously upgraded by adding Teflon interlayers previously used on DJI's flagship gimbals, reducing friction for smoother balancing. The new fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis can move the camera forward or backward, achieving precise, millimeter-level balancing.

 

The upper quick-release plate adds three positioning slots, allowing you to choose different installation positions based on your camera, offering more balancing space. When you need to remove the camera from the gimbal and reattach it, it also aids in memory for quick repositioning without affecting the balancing.

The lightweight RS 4 Mini offers a payload capacity of 4.4 lb, effortlessly handling combinations like the Sony a7 series mirrorless camera with a 24-70 mm F2.8 GM II lens, as well as vLog cameras like the Sony ZV series. When paired with DJI Mic series microphones, fill lights, and other accessories, it still allows for smooth camera movements. You can also quickly switch to a smartphone stabilizer using the new Phone Holder.

After Bluetooth pairing, you can control the start/stop of recording of your camera or phone directly via the gimbal's record button, without the hassle of a cable release. The new zoom control function allows you to control Power Zoom for PZ lenses and Clear Image Zoom simply by pushing 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 OLED touchscreen now displays icons more clearly and runs more smoothly. New gimbal status prompts have been added, and when customizing parameters, you can fine-tune values directly using the front dial. When using the touchscreen auto-lock feature, the screen will display the current gimbal and joystick modes at a low brightness to prevent accidental touches and help conserve battery power.

The RS 4 Mini can switch between a variety of shooting modes:

 

• Horizontal mode and a vertical view for social media without the need for additional accessories.
• Upright mode: Standard mode for walking or running shots.
• Underslung mode: The gimbal flips so your camera hangs for low-angle and tracking shots.
• Flashlight mode: The camera can be held forward like a flashlight to shoot in confined spaces.
• Briefcase mode: This makes it easier for low-angle shots using the adjustable briefcase handle.

The dual-layer quick release plates make it easy to mount a camera onto the RS 4 Mini and eliminate the need to rebalance the gimbal after swapping out a new battery or memory card.

• The RS 4 Mini battery grip contains a built-in 3100mAh battery that provides a runtime of up to 13 hours (fixed mode), generous enough for shooting all day.
• It charges in less than two hours using the included USB-C cable.

Create impressive effects using intelligent motion functions, including Panorama, Time-Lapse, and Tracking.

The new briefcase handle was designed specifically for the RS 4 Mini, reducing the size by about 20% and the weight by about 12%, making low-angle handheld filming more effortless.
