Next-Generation Performance for Enhanced Storytelling

An improved, next-generation design ensures that the DJI RS 4 is the perfect companion for telling your visual stories. A newly designed horizontal plate facilitates second-generation native vertical shooting for more efficient operation. The plate can be released and secured vertically to switch to vertical shooting without additional accessories. The second-generation automated axis locks enable smooth transitions between work and sleep modes for an improved workflow and have smaller gaps for reduced gimbal shake and better results when locked.

A Teflon coating for all three axes provides a smoother balancing experience, making using the RS 4 a breeze. Switching lenses is also painless thanks to a fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis. This knob can move the camera forwards or backward to balance your camera precisely, while an adjustable placement guide on the upper quick-release plate guarantees secure camera mounting. The OLED touchscreen now has an auto-lock feature that displays the gimbal and joystick modes at low brightness, which is handy while in use. It both prevents accidental interference and conserves battery power.

Experience Smooth and Powerful Stabilisation

Weighing just over 1.5kg (including the gimbal, the grip, the extended grip/tripod, and quick-release plates), the DJI RS 4 has an impressive maximum payload of 3kg. The payload allows for secure support of mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations while retaining exceptional manoeuvrability. The RS 4 tilt axis is extended by 8.5mm compared with the previous generation to offer more balancing space, which is excellent for using cameras and lenses with accessories like ND filters for greater creative expression.

For increased versatility and improved performance, DJI has incorporated the 4th-Generation RS Stabilisation Algorithm in the DJI RS 4. It balances robust stabilisation and the tactile feel of camera movement for outstanding stability and a memorable user experience. The RS 4 even offers improved support when shooting vertically, steadying even the most active shots with ease.

Straightforward Operation for Professional Results

The DJI RS 4 offers various control options to suit your needs and ensure professional cinematic results. Dual-mode Bluetooth technology allows the DJI RS 4 to control your camera’s shutter and lens zoom remotely. Zoom control mode lets you use the joystick to control Power Zoom for PZ lenses and Clear Image Zoom for a native zoom experience. It also offers seamless camera pairing, ensuring that you need only manually pair your camera once, then it will be paired automatically.

To make capturing footage on any set a seamless experience, the RS 4 allows you to customise the trigger function to FPV mode. In this mode, you can press and hold the trigger to make the gimbal’s three axes follow the direction of the grip’s movement, which is ideal for shooting rotational footage or POV. You can also tailor the gimbal mode to your shooting scenario and switch between PF, PTF, and FPV modes using the DJI RS 4's Gimbal Mode Switch. FPV mode is also customisable to 3D Roll 360 or Custom with the touchscreen. Other intelligent features include motionlapse, track, and panorama, which assist you in applying creative effects to your scene. The DJI RS 4 also supports the separately available DJI Focus Pro Motor, which allows you to control your camera’s lens focus via a dial or adjust the lens zoom via a joystick. The DJI RS 4 also introduces an RSA communication port for compatibility with accessories such as the DJI RS Tethered Control Handle and third-party accessories like control handles and remote-control ring handles.
