Our take on the DJI RS 5

The DJI RS 5 is a three-axis camera gimbal for mirrorless cameras, with a 3 kg payload and a body that weighs about 1.46 kg with battery grip and quick-release plates. It adds a touchscreen, a second-generation set of automated axis locks, fine-tuning knobs with Teflon-enhanced balancing, a Z-axis indicator, and a briefcase handle for direct control. Peak motor torque is up 50% over the previous model, and the fifth-generation stabilization algorithm targets walking, running and vertical shooting. It suits solo shooters and small crews who want fast balancing and long runtime; the intelligent tracking module that enables touchscreen subject tracking is sold separately, so buyers who want that feature pay more than the base kit suggests.

What reviewers say

  • 5 / 5150 ratings

Ratings are uniformly high, and owners praise the stabilization, the faster balancing workflow and the battery life. The recurring complaint is that the headline tracking feature requires a separate module.

What people mention
  • StabilizationPraisedOwners say footage stays smooth when walking and running, including vertical shooting.
  • BalancingPraisedAutomated axis locks and fine-tuning knobs make setup faster than on earlier models.
  • BatteryPraisedUsers report long runtime and a full charge in about an hour.
  • Tracking moduleCriticisedReviewers note the intelligent tracking module is sold separately, so touchscreen subject tracking costs extra.
  • WeightPraisedOwners find the body light for a gimbal that carries 3 kg.

About the DJI RS 5

The DJI RS 5 is a camera gimbal built for mainstream mirrorless camera and lens setups. It weighs 1.46 kg with the battery grip and quick-release plates, and it carries up to 3 kg (6.6 lbs). Peak motor torque is up 50% over the previous model. The 5th-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm is tuned for walking, running and vertical shooting.

Fine-tuning knobs on each axis arm balance the gimbal through a leadscrew mechanism, and Teflon interlayers keep the movement smooth with heavier setups. The 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks lock the gimbal when it powers off or sleeps and unlock when it powers on. A Z-Axis Indicator gives feedback so you can adjust your footsteps for steadier shots.

To shoot vertically, loosen and press the single-side knob, remove the horizontal plate, rotate it 90 degrees and tighten it again. The dual-layered quick-release plates have an Arca-Swiss upper plate and a Manfrotto lower plate. Position memory lets you switch between gimbal and tripod without rebalancing. The upper plate also has an adjustable guide for mounting the camera.
