DJI has released the lightweight stabilizer RS 5, designed for cameras up to 3 kg.

DJI launches a new stabiliser — RS 5

DJI has put the RS 5 on sale; it is part of its line of professional Swiss‑made Ronin stabilisers. The unit is lightweight: about 1.5 kg, yet it can handle a payload of up to 3 kg, opening up possibilities for shooting even with large mirrorless cameras.

Intelligent Tracking

One of the key features of the RS 5 is its “enhanced intelligent object tracking”.

* The built‑in module automatically keeps the frame centred on a chosen subject in real time.
* Control is via the touch screen, without needing to change camera settings.
* It supports various types of subjects: people, pets, vehicles, and more.
* Fixed focus can be maintained up to 10 m from the target.

Improved Stabilisation

The stabilisation algorithms have been updated so that operators can perform complex camera movements with ease:

* Circular panoramic shots
* Reverse tracking
* Lock‑on to a moving subject while the camera remains stationary

The device is convenient for walking and running, and it also supports vertical shooting without extra gear thanks to a universal handle that can be mounted on top or bottom.

Battery and Autonomy

* The battery charges in 1 hour and provides up to 14 hours of runtime.
* For longer shoots, an extended‑battery version is available, giving 30 hours of autonomy.

Kit Options

* Standard kit (includes a sling, tripod, quick‑release plates, and other accessories) costs $680.
* Extended kit adds an upgraded tracking module, a portable case, and an electronic top handle — priced at $859.

Thus, the DJI RS 5 combines lightness, strong payload capacity, and advanced tracking and stabilisation features, making it an attractive choice for both beginners and professional operators.
