DJI RS 5 Overview

Enhanced Battery and Fast Charging

When used with the BG33 battery grip, the RS 5 gimbal can be fully charged in as little as one hour using a 65W PD power charger. It offers 14 hours of runtime, 15% more than the RS 4, or up to 30 hours when used with a BG70 battery grip.

Native Vertical Capture

Quickly switch to vertical/portrait mode in mere seconds using the RS 5 gimbal’s third-gen vertical shooting design. Simply loosen and press the single-side knob, rotate and tighten the horizontal plate, and you’re good to go.

Second-Generation Quick Release Plate Design

With the familiar dual-layered quick release plates of its predecessor, the RS 5 makes mounting and balancing your camera a breeze. The horizontal plate is newly designed for faster transitions to native vertical shooting. A fine-tuning knob adjusts the tilt axis to move your camera forward or backward. The upper plate has added placement guides for secure camera mounting.

Auto-Locking OLED Screen

The RS 5 is equipped with a fixed OLED touchscreen with a new auto-lock feature. Once locked, the screen will display the current gimbal and joystick moves at a low brightness to prevent accidental switching and conserve battery.

Focus Pro and DJI SDR Transmission Support

Pro shooters can pair the RS 5 gimbal with two Focus Pro motors to easily adjust their focus and zoom using the gimbal’s dial and joystick controls. Add the DJI SDR Transmission component to get live video feed and remote gimbal/camera control.

Second-Generation Automated Axis Locks

When the gimbal is powered off, you can press and hold the power button, and the three axes unlock while the gimbal expands automatically, allowing you to start working in just two seconds. Press the power button once, and the axes automatically lock and enter sleep mode, making a move or storage significantly more efficient. The second iteration of this design has created smaller gaps when locked to further reduce gimbal shake.

Z-Axis Indicator

The Z-axis indicator displays your vertical movements so that you can adjust your motion, but it does not provide Z-axis stabilization.

RSA Communication Port

The RSA communication port allows you to integrate Ronin series accessories into your gimbal configuration. Add Ronin-specific or third-party accessories with control capabilities to switch between different shooting configurations. The DJI RS SDK protocol will allow third-party manufacturers and other developers to create future customized functions for the RS 5.

                                                                           

Wireless Shutter Control

By implementing Dual-Mode Bluetooth, the RS 5 supports wireless shutter control, saving time and effort with every use. After the initial Bluetooth pairing, you can control video and photo shooting by simply pressing the record button on the stabilizer. Previously paired cameras can automatically reconnect after the first use, eliminating the need for a camera control cable. Compatible cameras include select FUJIFILM and Panasonic models.

Integrated Monitoring and Control

Remotely adjust camera exposure directly in the Ronin app, or control the gimbal with the virtual joystick to get an integrated monitoring and control experience. With the Ronin Image Transmitter, a smartphone can be used as a motion controller to remotely control the RS 5 gimbal for more flexible and dynamic camera movements.

Integrated Controls

• By simply sliding the new gimbal mode switch, you can alternate between Pan follow, Pan and Tilt follow, and FPV modes. The FPV mode selection is also customizable to 3D Roll 360, Portrait, or Custom, allowing you to adjust your equipment and get started as fast as possible. Other intelligent features include motion-lapse, track, and panorama.
• The trigger button can be customized to FPV mode, which causes the three axes to follow the direction of the grip’s movement when held down.

                                                                       

Get even smoother video footage, complete with a Z-axis (vertical) indicator, using the RS 5 Gimbal Stabilizer from DJI. This powerful yet lightweight gimbal features full charging in just one hour, a 15% increase in runtime, Teflon-enhanced balancing, and fine-tuning knobs. An electronic control handle and advanced AI framing and tracking modules are available separately.

What Is the DJI RS 5?

The DJI RS 5 is a professional-grade 3-axis handheld camera stabilizer (gimbal) designed to help videographers, filmmakers, and content creators capture smooth, cinematic footage even while moving. It’s part of DJI’s popular Ronin (RS) series, known for reliable motion stabilization and advanced shooting tools.

Stabilization & Performance
The RS 5 uses DJI’s 5th-generation stabilization algorithm and powerful motors to smooth out camera shake across the pan, tilt, and roll axes. This means even when you’re walking, running, or shooting low-angle or dynamic shots, the footage stays stable and professional-looking.

Smart Subject Tracking
A major upgrade is the Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module — a magnetically attachable unit that streams live video to the gimbal’s built-in 1.8″ touchscreen. You can simply tap a subject on the screen (people, vehicles, pets) and the gimbal will keep it tracked while you shoot.

Battery & Runtime
With its standard grip battery, the RS 5 can run for about 14 hours on a charge, and with an optional extended grip it can last up to around 30 hours — useful for long shoots like events or documentaries.

• Enhanced Tracking: A magnetically attached, intelligent tracking module allows for direct subject selection (people, vehicles, pets) on the touchscreen from 0.5 to 10 meters.
• Performance: The motor torque is increased by 50%, providing better stability for heavier camera rigs, while 65W charging provides a full charge in one hour.
• Design & Balancing: Features Teflon-coated axes for smoother balancing, 2nd-gen automated axis locks for quicker setup, and a Z-axis indicator to monitor vertical stability.
• Control & Operation: An upgraded, electronic briefcase handle offers direct, ergonomic control of the gimbal and camera, reducing the need for multiple accessories. 

• Payload: 3 kg (6.6 lbs).
• Battery: Up to 14 hours runtime with faster charging.
• Vertical Shooting: Supports native vertical, quick-switch shooting.
• Ecosystem: Compatible with DJI SDR transmission and Focus Pro motor.
