Introducing the DJI RS 5: Advanced Commercial Camera Gimbal with Intelligent Tracking and Extended Runtime
Introducing the DJI RS 5, a lightweight commercial camera gimbal that offers improved intelligent subject tracking, stability, and control mechanisms, along with an extended runtime. The RS 5 features the magnetically attached RS Intelligent Tracking Module, which allows videographers to frame live footage and track any subject directly from the gimbal's touchscreen. It can track objects other than people, such as vehicles or pets, and maintain focus on a human subject up to 10 meters away. The 5th generation RS Stabilization Algorithm enhances stability in fast-moving scenes and when shooting vertically, making it suitable for a wide range of mirrorless cameras and lens combinations.
Weighing 1.46 kg with the battery grip and quick-release plates, the RS 5 can carry a payload of up to 3 kg, providing stability even with heavier professional imaging equipment. The new Electronic Briefcase Handle allows for capturing camera angles from above or below the subject and offers electronic control of the footage. The on-screen Z-Axis Indicator helps videographers adjust their gait and pace to reduce image shake, resulting in steadier shots. The RS 5 is compatible with DJI's product ecosystem, allowing for remote gimbal and camera control, high-definition live feeds, and more collaboration opportunities.
The RS 5 can be fully charged in just one hour, with the standard battery providing 14 hours of power. The new BG70 High-Capacity Battery Grip extends the runtime to 30 hours for longer shooting sessions. The RS 5's Bluetooth shutter now supports Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras in addition to Sony, Canon, and Nikon cameras. The RSA Communication Port enables videographers to switch between different shooting combinations, and the open RS SDK allows third-party developers to create custom functions for the RS 5. The DJI RS 5 is available for purchase today from authorized retailers and the DJI online store, with two purchase options: the standalone RS 5 and the RS 5 Combo, which includes additional accessories for enhanced functionality.
Overall, the DJI RS 5 offers advanced features for professional videographers, including improved tracking capabilities, stability, and control mechanisms, making it a versatile tool for capturing high-quality footage in various shooting scenarios.
