DJI RS 4 Mini (Variant: Combo)
Introducing the DJI RS 4 Mini, the all-new compact and lightweight gimbal for content creators. With automatic axis locks, intelligent tracking and composition, improved Teflon™ balancing and 3rd generation native vertical shooting, it enables content creators and independent commercial videographers a more efficient and seamless filming experience.
A CLASSIC REINTERPRETED
Faster setup
Unlock in a second, start filming instantly
The DJI RS 4 Mini features an automatic axis lock, previously only found on DJI's flagship gimbals, which automatically unlocks the three axes when powered on and locks them when powered off or at rest. This noticeably speeds up filming, transition and storage. The storage structure has also been improved: the axis arms can be folded flatter to save space. In combination with the automatic axis locks, the gimbal can be quickly stowed away at the touch of a button and can therefore be conveniently transported in a bag.
Faster vertical switching
The RS 4 Mini offers the fastest switching between horizontal and vertical shots in the RS series. [To switch to vertical shooting, simply release and press the button on one side, remove the horizontal plate of the gimbal, rotate it 90° and then reattach it. This can all be done in 10 seconds. This way, you can directly record vertical videos that are perfect for display on cell phones, so your audience can enjoy your masterpiece even faster.
Triple balancing relief
Do you find it difficult to keep your balance when installing a camera? The RS 4 Mini has been carefully improved by adding Teflon™ shims [4], previously used on DJI flagships, to reduce friction and make balancing smoother.
With the new fine adjustment knob on the tilt axis, the camera can be moved forward or backward to achieve precise, millimeter-level balancing.
The top quick-release plate has three positioning slots that allow you to choose different installation positions depending on the camera, providing more leeway for balancing. If you need to remove the camera from the gimbal and reattach it, the plate also helps you remember to reposition it quickly without affecting the balance.
Versatility
Suitable for cameras and smartphones
The lightweight RS 4 Mini offers a payload capacity of 2 kg (4.4 lbs) and easily handles combinations such as the Sony A7 series mirrorless camera with a 24-70 mm F2.8 GM II Lens, as well as vlog cameras such as the Sony ZV series. In combination with microphones from the DJI Mic series [5], spotlights and other accessories, it still enables smooth camera movements. [6] You can also quickly switch to a smartphone stabilizer with the new Phone Holder. [7] Its versatility adapts seamlessly to different scenarios.
Wireless recording and zoom
After Bluetooth pairing [6], you can control the start/stop recording of your camera or phone directly via the recording button of the gimbal, without the hassle of triggering a cable. The new zoom control function allows you to control the power zoom for PZ Lens and the clear image zoom by simply pressing the joystick, making one-handed operation a breeze. A camera only needs to be paired once, after which it can reconnect seamlessly and automatically.
Thoughtful UI improvements
The touchscreen now displays icons more clearly and runs more smoothly. New gimbal status messages have been added, and when adjusting parameters, you can fine-tune the values directly using the front dial. The touchscreen has an automatic lock function. Once locked, the screen displays the current gimbal and joystick modes at low brightness. This not only prevents accidental touches, but also helps to conserve battery power.
Briefcasehandle for the RS 4 Mini
We have developed a modern briefcase handle [8] especially for the RS 4 Mini (only included in the ''DJI RS 4 Mini Combo'' variant), which reduces the size by approx. 20 % [9] and the weight by approx. 28 g [9] and makes filming by hand more effortless.
INNOVATIVE FILMING FOR BREATHTAKING RESULTS
The new DJI RS Intelligent Tracking Module
Follow shots become a walk in the park
Intelligent Tracking
Intelligent Tracking and Composition
The new DJI RS Intelligent Tracking Module [7] is a new universal accessory for the RS 4 series. It helps beginners with intelligent follow-filming and composition [10] and keeps the human subject in a consistent position within the frame. This is particularly useful for circling, back tracking and for following yourself from a fixed camera position when filming alone. The module supports tracking from up to 10 meters away and works reliably even in complex scenes, e.g. in environments with several people. Even if the subject temporarily leaves the frame, the gimbal can find and track the subject again. [11]
1sec. secure magnetic mount
The tracking module is equipped with a magnetic quick release so that it can be attached to the tilt axis in just one second and is immediately ready to work with the gimbal. Thanks to the magnetic lock, it stays securely in place without loosening or falling off, ensuring a more reliable filming process.
1sec. start/stop tracking
With just one press of the shutter button, you can instantly target your subject and start or stop intelligent tracking so you can effortlessly keep up with your main character. Or open your palm towards the tracking module and it will recognize you as a subject within 1 second and start/stop smart tracking - perfect for selfies and vlogs.
Responsive following
Responsive and smooth follow
In the new Responsive mode, the gimbal responds faster to hand movements when starting and stopping, which is particularly suitable for fast orbit shots.
The classic DJI Smooth Follow mode also remains and ensures a smooth response of the gimbal, making it ideal for normal follow shots or parallel tracking. By combining different tracking modes and speeds, you can create a wide range of shots.
ROBUST STABILIZATION
4th generation stabilization
RS 4Mini has switched to the 4th generation RS stabilization algorithm. It
an excellent balance between stabilization strength and
tactile feel of camera movement, providing both outstanding
performance and an enhanced user experience. In addition, the RS 4 Mini
offers significantly improved stability for vertical shots,
dynamic shots such as running or low angle
perspectives. Furthermore, the gimbal is optimized for compatibility with different cameras.
compatibility with different cameras and automatically calibrates the motor strength to adapt to different scenarios.
Fast charging, extended battery
Both the charging speed and the battery life have been increased by 30% [12]
compared to the last generation. With an operating time of 13 hours [13]
operating time, it offers sufficient power for all-day filming.
It also supports fast charging and offers
5 hours [13] of operating time with just a 30-minute charge.
30% increased running time, 30% improved charging efficiency
Low weight
Design, high payload
Weighing only 890 g (2 lbs), RS 4 Mini has a payload capacity of up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs). It supports a wide range of mirrorless cameras and lens mirrorless cameras and lens combinations and offers high performance [6].
It can support a Sony A7 series with a 24-70 mm F2.8 GM II lens, along with a DJI Mic series microphone receiver [5].
With its high-torque motors, the RS 4 Mini can take stable shots when using the following recommended combinations of focal lengths without the need for rebalancing.
