DJI RS 4 Mini Gimbal

DJI RS 4 Mini is a new gimbal for lightweight mirrorless setups. Weighing 890g/1.96 lbs, it can carry payloads up to 2 kg/4.4 lbs. The gimbal is compatible with the new DJI RS intelligent tracking module, which improves subject tracking and supports visual commands. Bringing features known from the flagship RS series, such as the automated axis locking system, or fine-tuning knob.

Features:

• Unlock, Start Filming Right Away
  DJI RS 4 Mini adds auto axis locks previously found on DJI's flagship gimbals, which allow the three axis locks to automatically unlock upon power-on and lock upon power-off or sleep. This noticeably speeds up the filming, transitioning, and storage processes. The storage structure has also been upgraded, with the axis arms folding flatter to save space. Combined with automated axis locks, the gimbal can be stored quickly with the press of a button, making it easy to fit into a bag for convenient carrying.
• Faster Vertical Switch
  RS 4 Mini offers the fastest switch between horizontal and vertical shooting in the RS series.³ To switch to vertical shooting, simply loosen and press the single-side knob, remove the gimbal's horizontal plate, rotate it 90°, and then tighten it back in place. All can be done in 10 seconds. This way, you can directly shoot vertical videos, perfectly suited for mobile phone viewing, letting your audience enjoy your masterpiece even sooner.
• Threefold Ease for Balancing
  Finding it difficult to balance when installing a camera? RS 4 Mini has been meticulously upgraded by adding Teflon™ interlayers⁴ previously used on DJI's flagship gimbals, reducing friction for smoother balancing. The new fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis can move the camera forward or backward, achieving precise, millimeter-level balancing. The upper quick-release plate adds three positioning slots, allowing you to choose different installation positions based on your camera, offering more balancing space. When you need to remove the camera from the gimbal and reattach it, it also aids in memory for quick repositioning without affecting the balancing.
• Handles Cameras and Smartphones
  The lightweight RS 4 Mini offers a payload capacity of 2 kg (4.4 lbs), effortlessly handling combinations like the Sony A7 series mirrorless camera with a 24-70 mm F2.8 GM II lens, as well as vlog cameras like the Sony ZV series. When paired with DJI Mic series microphones⁵, fill lights, and other accessories, it still allows for smooth camera movements.⁶ You can also quickly switch to a smartphone stabilizer using the new Phone Holder.⁷ Its versatility seamlessly adapts to different scenarios.
• Wireless Recording and Zoom
  After Bluetooth pairing⁶, you can control the start/stop of recording of your camera or phone directly via the gimbal's record button, without the hassle of a cable release. The new zoom control function allows you to control Power Zoom for PZ lenses and Clear Image Zoom simply by pushing 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 Upgrades
  The touchscreen now displays icons more clearly and runs more smoothly. New gimbal status prompts have been added, and when customizing parameters, you can fine-tune values directly using the front dial. The touchscreen incorporates a 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.
• Briefcase Handle for Mini
  We have developed a next-gen briefcase handle⁸ specially for RS 4 Mini, reducing the size by about 20%⁹ and the weight by about 28g⁹, making handheld filming more effortless.
• Intelligent Tracking and Composition
  Introducing DJI RS Intelligent Tracking Module⁷, an RS 4 series' new universal accessory. It assists novice videographers in intelligent follow-filming and composition¹⁰, keeping the human subject in a consistent position within the frame. This is particularly useful for orbit shots, backward tracking shots, and for tracking yourself from a fixed camera position when filming alone. The module supports tracking up to 10 meters, and functions reliably even in complex scenes, such as multi-person environments. Even if the subject temporarily leaves the frame, the gimbal can find and follow the subject again. [11]
• Secure Magnetic Mount
  The tracking module features a magnetic quick-release design, allowing it to attach to the tilt axis in just one second and be ready to work with the gimbal. Thanks to the magnetic locking design, it will stay securely in place without loosening or falling off, ensuring a more reliable filming process.
• Start/Stop of Tracking
  With just one press of the trigger, you can instantly lock onto your subject and start or stop intelligent tracking, effortlessly keeping up with your star of the show. Or open your palm towards the tracking module, and it will detect you as the subject within 1 second and start/stop intelligent tracking, perfect for selfies and vlogs.
• Responsive and Smooth Follow
  In the new Responsive mode, the gimbal responds faster to hand movements upon start and stop, especially suitable for fast orbit shots. It also retains DJI's classic Smooth follow mode, providing fluid gimbal response, making it ideal for regular follow shots or parallel tracking. By combining different follow modes and speeds, you can create a wide range of narratives.
• 4th-Gen Stabilization
  RS 4 Mini has upgraded to the 4th-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm. 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 Mini offers significantly improved stability when vertical shooting, easily steadying dynamic shots like running or low-angle perspectives.
