The DJI RS 5 streamlines your workflow with touchscreen subject targeting via the latest tracking module [1], precision balancing through dedicated fine-tuning knobs, and seamless operation using the new briefcase handle [2]. These upgrades are complemented by rapid charging capabilities and significantly longer runtimes [3].
Utilizing the new module [1], you can select and follow any subject [1] directly from the gimbal’s touchscreen for pinpoint positioning. When tracking people, the system maintains a 10-meter range and intelligently reacquires the subject if they briefly exit the shot.

3rd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting
Switching to vertical is faster than ever. Loosen the side knob, reposition the horizontal plate at 90° [8], and lock it down. In just seconds, you're ready for social media or portrait-style cinematography.
Dual-Layered Quick-Release Plates
Switch between your gimbal and tripod in seconds using the Arca-Swiss and Manfrotto plate system. With position memory, you can skip the rebalancing process entirely, while the upper plate's adjustable guide provides an extra layer of mounting security.
DJI Focus Pro Motor Support
The RS 5 supports dual Focus Pro Motors [5], enabling dedicated lens control at your fingertips. Manipulate focal length with the joystick and achieve pinpoint focus via the dial, facilitating a streamlined workflow for even the most demanding cinematic sequences.
DJI SDR Transmission Support
Independent cinematographers and small crews can all use the DJI SDR Transmission [5] for high-definition live feeds, remote gimbal and camera control, and Force Mobile, and more.
The RSA port provides connectivity for the Electronic Briefcase Handle, RS Tethered Control Handle [5], and remote-control ring handles [5]. Meanwhile, the open RS SDK empowers third-party developers to design and implement custom functions.
1. Requires the DJI RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module (available separately or via specific combos).
2. The briefcase handle is available as a standalone purchase or as part of a compatible combo.
3. Requires a 65W PD-compatible charger and the DJI RS BG33 Battery Grip (Note: The BG33 is not available in India). Comparisons for charging speed and runtime are based on the DJI RS 4 with the BG21 Battery Grip. Measurements were taken in a controlled environment; actual performance may vary depending on usage. For further information, visit the product page on the official DJI website.
4. To verify specific camera and lens support, please consult the official Ronin Series Compatibility Search tool.
5. Sold separately.
6. Testing was conducted in a controlled 25°C (77°F) indoor environment with the gimbal balanced and stationary. Data was recorded until the battery reached 3%, with the battery grip exclusively powering the gimbal.
7. This feature is exclusive to select Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras and requires the latest firmware from the manufacturer's official website. For comprehensive camera and lens support details, visit the Ronin Series Compatibility Search page.
8. Rebalancing is unnecessary for the tilt axis (front to back) and pan axis when switching between horizontal and vertical orientations.
