Whether you're shooting while walking, filming outdoors, capturing fast-moving scenes, or creating content for social media, the DJI RS 5 helps you achieve stable, polished results with less effort.

Thanks to its advanced 5th-generation stabilization algorithm, the RS 5 effectively reduces shake during walking, quick transitions, and even running. Optional intelligent tracking support, quick balancing controls, fast charging, and smart axis locks make this gimbal a practical and creative tool for everyday shooting.

• Up to 14 hours of standby time with fast charging support

Keep Your Subject in Focus

The DJI RS 5 lets you focus on framing and storytelling instead of constantly correcting camera position. When paired with the optional intelligent tracking module, the gimbal can keep your selected subject centered in the frame with smooth, consistent movement. Just select the target on the touchscreen, and the system follows it throughout the shot.

This tracking feature works well in a variety of scenarios, from filming people and animals to capturing moving vehicles. For human subjects, the module can operate from distances of up to 10 meters, giving you more freedom on set. If the subject briefly leaves the frame, automatic tracking recovery helps you continue recording without unnecessary interruptions.

Next-Level Image Stabilization

The DJI RS 5 raises the bar for handheld stabilization. With 50% more motor torque compared to the previous generation, it handles dynamic movement more effectively and keeps your footage looking clean and controlled in demanding shooting conditions.

The improved 5th-generation stabilization system minimizes shake whether you are walking, running, or shooting in vertical mode. Camera movements stay precise, while your footage remains smooth and sharp — ideal for action scenes, travel videos, event coverage, and creative cinematic shots.

Lightweight Build, Strong Payload

The DJI RS 5 combines portability with serious performance. The complete setup, including quick-release plates and the battery grip, weighs only around 1.46 kg, making long shooting sessions more comfortable and less tiring for your hands and arms.

Despite its low weight, the gimbal supports payloads of up to 3 kg, allowing it to work with many popular mirrorless cameras and lens combinations. It’s a smart choice for creators who want a balance of mobility, flexibility, and dependable stabilization.

Long Runtime and Fast Charging

Built for extended shoots, the DJI RS 5 offers up to 14 hours of standby time with its standard battery, helping you stay focused on filming instead of stopping to recharge. Fast charging support means a full recharge takes about one hour, so you can get back to work quickly.

For creators who need even more endurance, the optional BG70 battery grip can extend standby time to around 30 hours. This makes the RS 5 a great option for outdoor shoots, longer productions, and busy recording days where every minute counts.

Smooth, Accurate Gimbal Control

The DJI RS 5 is designed to make operation simple and intuitive. Expanded Bluetooth wireless control now supports selected cameras from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, and Panasonic, allowing you to control shutter, zoom, and Clear Image Zoom functions without extra cables.

A built-in Z-axis indicator displays the camera’s position in real time, helping you fine-tune movement and maximize shot stability. If you want even more control, the optional Electronic Briefcase Handle allows one-handed operation of both the camera and the gimbal, opening the door to low-angle shots and more dynamic filming styles.

Precise Balancing and Fast Setup

Balancing and preparing your camera setup is fast and accurate thanks to the RS 5’s refined adjustment system. Precision tuning knobs on each axis arm, combined with Teflon™ layers and a lead screw mechanism, make it easier to balance even heavier camera combinations with less hassle.

The 2nd-generation automatic axis locks secure the gimbal when powered off or put to sleep, then unlock automatically when powered back on. This saves time during setup and makes transport much more convenient, especially when you need to move quickly between shots.

Switch to Vertical Shooting in Seconds

Changing the DJI RS 5 into vertical shooting mode is fast and intuitive. Simply loosen and press the knob, remove the horizontal plate, rotate it by 90 degrees, and reattach it. The whole process takes just a few seconds.

This is a great feature for creators making content for social media platforms, where vertical video is now a standard format. It allows you to adapt quickly without interrupting your creative flow.

Flexible Configuration and Expanded Creative Options

The DJI RS 5 gives you the flexibility to adapt your setup for different filming scenarios. With an Arca-Swiss top plate and a Manfrotto bottom plate, you can switch between a gimbal and a tripod more efficiently, often without needing to rebalance the camera. The adjustable top plate guide also helps provide a secure camera mount.

The gimbal supports DJI SDR Transmission for high-resolution live transmission and remote camera control. When paired with two DJI Focus Pro Motors, it enables zoom control via joystick and focus control via the dial. The RSA port allows compatibility with accessories such as the Electronic Briefcase Handle and RS Tethered Control Handle, while RS SDK support gives advanced users and developers more customization possibilities.
