The DJI RS 5 Combo (RS500-C1) is a professional camera gimbal stabilizer engineered for smooth, controlled footage across a wide range of shooting scenarios. It features an RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module with touchscreen subject selection, capable of tracking a person up to 10 meters away and reacquiring them if they briefly leave the frame. A next-generation stabilization algorithm and a 50% increase in peak motor torque over the previous model deliver steady performance even in fast-moving scenes, whether walking, running, or shooting vertically. Built with a robust 3 kg payload capacity, the RS 5 supports mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations while remaining compact and lightweight. The new Electronic Briefcase Handle enables intuitive single-handed operation, while faster charging, extended battery life, and expanded Bluetooth shutter support for Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Fujifilm cameras round out a stabilizer built for professional creative work.
Key Features- RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module: Frame and track any subject directly from the gimbal's touchscreen, with a tracking range of up to 10 meters and automatic reacquisition if the subject briefly leaves the frame.
- Next-Gen Algorithm, Enhanced Torque: Peak motor torque is increased by 50% over the previous model, with a 5th-generation stabilization algorithm optimized for walking, running, and vertical shooting.
- Compact Body With Up to 3kg Payload: Weighs just 1.46 kg with battery grip and quick-release plates attached, and supports a 3 kg (6.6 lbs) payload for mainstream mirrorless camera and lens setups.
- New Electronic Briefcase Handle: Enables intuitive, single-handed operation with a joystick and buttons for controlling the gimbal and camera from creative angles.
- Longer Runtime, Fast Charging: Fully charges in just one hour, a 60% speed increase, with the standard battery delivering approximately 14 hours of standby time, a 15% improvement.
- DJI RS BG70 High-Capacity Battery Grip: Extends the RS 5's battery standby time up to 30 hours for longer shooting sessions.
- Expanded Bluetooth Shutter Support: Wireless shutter, zoom, and Clear Image Zoom control for Sony, Canon, Nikon, and now specific Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras, with no cables required.
- Z-Axis Indicator: Provides instant feedback to help fine-tune footsteps for steadier, more professional shots.
- Smooth and Precise Balancing: Fine-tuning knobs on each axis arm, combined with Teflon interlayers, allow quick, precise balancing even with heavier professional camera setups.
- 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks: Automatically locks the gimbal upon power-off or sleep and unlocks quickly on power-on, streamlining transitions and storage.
- 3rd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting: Switch to vertical shooting in seconds by loosening a single-side knob, rotating the horizontal plate 90°, and retightening it.
- Dual-Layered Quick-Release Plates: An Arca-Swiss upper plate and Manfrotto lower plate allow quick switching between gimbal and tripod without rebalancing, with an adjustable guide for secure camera mounting.
- Support for DJI Focus Pro Motor: When paired with two Focus Pro Motors, enables joystick-controlled zoom and dial-controlled focus for smooth, precise lens control.
- Support for DJI SDR Transmission: Enables high-definition live feeds, remote gimbal and camera control, and Force Mobile support for independent cinematographers and small crews.
- RSA Communication Port: Connects to the Electronic Briefcase Handle, RS Tethered Control Handle, and remote-control ring handles, with an open RS SDK for third-party custom functions.
