Overview

The DJI RS 4 is a 3-axis gimbal stabilizer built around the 4th-generation RS stabilization algorithm — a comprehensive optimization across different shooting scenarios that addresses the responsiveness-versus-stability trade-off inherent in prior RS iterations. The Teflon coating on all three axes reduces friction in the balancing range so that camera center-of-gravity can be located with millimeter precision, rather than relying on mechanical friction to hold a close-but-not-exact balance point. At 3kg payload capacity, the RS 4 handles the mainstream mirrorless bodies with standard zoom lenses that define the working combination for solo documentary and event cinematography. The 1.8-inch OLED full-color touchscreen incorporates an auto-lock feature that prevents accidental input during active handheld shooting while displaying current gimbal and joystick mode at low brightness — preserving battery and operator situational awareness simultaneously.

The 2nd-gen native vertical shooting implementation reflects the practical reality of social media and multi-platform deliverables: vertical format content is now a standard output alongside horizontal, and the RS 4's repositionable horizontal plate enables format switching in seconds without accessories or camera remounting. Dual-Mode Bluetooth camera control extends the gimbal's utility beyond stabilization — zoom control via joystick for PZ-compatible lenses means a solo operator can manage focal length adjustments from the grip handle without a second operator or separate wireless controller. The bundle adds depth beyond the base gimbal: the Deco Gear backpack addresses daily transport for a complete camera and gimbal kit, the 64GB Lexar card covers a full day of 4K footage, and the DJI CPS 1-Year Enhanced Protection Pack provides accidental damage coverage that makes the RS 4 a practical daily production tool rather than a piece of gear that lives on a shelf when the weather looks uncertain.

Key Features

DJI USA Authorized - Includes Full USA Warranty + 1 Year CPS Enhanced Protection Pack | DJI RS4 Gimbal - The DJI RS 4 lightweight commercial stabilizer supports next-generation native vertical shooting with enhanced operation efficiency, improved stabilization performance, and an upgraded accessory ecosystem. It empowers solo cinematographers with a more professional and efficient creative experience and the toolset to tell gripping visual stories.

2nd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting - DJI RS 4 features a newly designed horizontal plate, enabling the second generation of native vertical shooting for faster and simpler operation. Without the need for additional accessories, you can simply release the horizontal plate and secure it into the vertical position for an easy switch to vertical shooting.

2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks - The automated axis locks allow RS 4 to quickly start working or enter sleep mode, significantly enhancing shooting, transition, and storage efficiency. Additionally, the axis locks have smaller gaps when locked, further reducing gimbal shake.

Our Smoothest Balancing Experience Yet - DJI RS 4 features a Teflon coating for all three axes, resulting in reduced friction and smoother balancing. When switching cameras or lenses, the fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis can move the camera forward or backwards, achieving precise, millimeter-level balancing.

4th-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm - DJI has comprehensively optimized the next-generation RS stabilization algorithm for different usage scenarios. It strikes a superior balance between stabilization strength and the tactile feel of camera movement, delivering both excellent performance and an enhanced user experience. Additionally, RS 4 offers significantly improved stability when vertical shooting, easily steadying dynamic shots like running or low-angle perspectives.

Automatic Screen Lock - ‌The OLED touchscreen incorporates a new auto-lock feature. Once locked, the screen will display the current gimbal and joystick modes at a low brightness. This not only prevents accidental touches but also helps to conserve battery power.

Excellent Payload Capacity - The lightweight body boasts a 3kg (6.6lbs) payload capacity. It can carry mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations, enabling comfortable holding with robust power.

Bluetooth Wireless Control - DJI RS 4 can remotely control camera shutter and lens zoom with Dual-Mode Bluetooth technology. In zoom control mode, you can use the joystick to control Power Zoom for PZ lenses and Clear Image Zoom, obtaining a native zoom experience. A camera only needs to be paired once, after which it can reconnect seamlessly and automatically.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 4th-gen RS stabilization algorithm delivers improved horizon lock and vibration rejection specifically optimized for dynamic shooting scenarios including running shots, low-angle tracking, and vertical format footage
  • 3kg payload capacity supports mainstream mirrorless bodies paired with 70-200mm f/2.8 zoom lenses — the combination that defines the working loadout for event, documentary, and commercial cinematography
  • 2nd-gen native vertical shooting via the repositionable horizontal plate eliminates the need for a portrait mount adapter, enabling on-set format switching in seconds without remounting the camera
  • Dual-Mode Bluetooth supports both shutter control and power zoom via the joystick, reducing the accessory count required for a solo operator running a zoom lens
  • OLED auto-lock screen prevents accidental mode changes during active handheld shooting while displaying gimbal status at low brightness to conserve battery between shots

👎 Cons

  • The 3kg payload ceiling excludes heavy cinema lens and large-format body combinations — users running EF-mount telephoto zooms on mirrorless adapters must verify total system weight before exceeding the limit
  • Automated axis locks add mechanical complexity compared to manual lock screws — users transitioning from manual-lock gimbals report a learning curve in the lock engagement feel and timing
  • 12-hour battery runtime is specified under moderate stabilization demand — continuous high-torque payload operation with the gimbal working against camera movement will reduce actual runtime below the rated figure
  • The extended grip/tripod included in the bundle is plastic construction, not aluminum — it provides functional support for stationary shots but lacks the rigidity of metal alternatives during two-handed operation at arm's length
  • Teflon-coated axis friction is reduced compared to uncoated axes — users accustomed to friction-assisted balancing on older gimbals will need to recalibrate their balancing technique to locate the true center of gravity precisely

Frequently Asked Questions

3kg (6.6 lbs) — the combined weight of the camera body, lens, and any mounted accessories. This covers mainstream mirrorless bodies (Sony A7 series, Canon R series, Nikon Z series) with standard zoom lenses up to approximately 70-200mm f/2.8 class. Heavy cinema lenses, large anamorphic adapters, or full-frame bodies with large primes on adapters may approach or exceed this limit and require weight verification before mounting.
The RS 4 features a redesigned horizontal plate that can be released and repositioned into a vertical orientation without any additional accessories. In prior-generation gimbals, vertical shooting required purchasing a separate portrait mount adapter and remounting the camera. On the RS 4, releasing the horizontal plate latch and resecuring it vertically takes seconds and keeps the camera on its existing balance position — enabling fast format switching between horizontal and vertical on set.
12 hours of rated battery runtime. Charge time is 2.5 hours via USB-C. The BG21 Battery Grip is included in this bundle and connects to the handle, providing both the power source and the primary grip surface. The USB-C charging port is accessible while the grip is attached, so charging does not require disassembly.
The RS 4 uses Dual-Mode Bluetooth to control both camera shutter release and lens zoom from the gimbal joystick. Shutter and record control work with a broad range of mirrorless cameras via the included Multi-Camera Control Cable or wireless Bluetooth pairing depending on the camera model. Power Zoom control applies to lenses with electronic zoom motors (PZ lenses) and Clear Image Zoom on compatible Sony bodies. A camera paired once reconnects automatically on subsequent uses.
The DJI Care Refresh (CPS) Enhanced Protection Pack provides one year of coverage for accidental damage including water damage, collision damage, and flyaway — damage scenarios not covered by the standard warranty. It typically entitles the owner to one or two replacement units per year at a reduced fee rather than full repair cost. The specific terms are defined by DJI's CPS program documentation at time of registration.
