DJI is expanding its gimbal range with the RS 4 Mini, a particularly compact and lightweight stabilization solution for cameras and smartphones. With a weight of only 890 g and a payload of up to 2 kg, the RS 4 Mini is ideal for content creators who want to make professional video recordings on the go. New features such as automatic axis locks, an improved vertical shooting mode and the Teflon™ coating for even smoother camera adjustment ensure a seamless workflow.
Important features of the DJI RS 4 Mini
- 890 g light, but supports cameras weighing up to 2 kg.
- Automatic axis locks for lightning-fast setup.
- DJI RS Intelligent Tracking module for precise subject tracking.
- Improved battery life with up to 13 hours of operation.
Compact design with professional performance
The RS 4 Mini packs many of the features of the larger DJI Ronin series into an ultra-compact format. Thanks to the 2nd generation auto-axis lock, all three axes can be unlocked in one second, making the gimbal ready for use much faster than its predecessor. The new Teflon coating system reduces friction, allowing the camera to be balanced with millimeter precision.
The third-generation Native Vertical mode makes it easier to switch to vertical shots, which are particularly relevant for social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. With this upgrade, DJI significantly improves usability and makes the RS 4 Mini a particularly flexible solution for different shooting formats.
Intelligent tracking for perfect camera control
A highlight of the RS 4 Mini is the DJI RS Intelligent Tracking module, which is included in the RS 4 Mini Combo. This function enables precise subject tracking at a distance of up to 10 meters, even in complex environments. The gimbal can activate movements by hand gestures or a simple push of a button on the handle.
In addition, there are two special modes for different film styles:
- Reaction mode: the gimbal reacts faster to movements – ideal for action scenes.
- Smooth following: Perfect for smooth camera pans in steady shots.
These intelligent functions make the DJI RS 4 Mini particularly attractive for filmmakers, vloggers and videographers who want to raise their recordings to a professional level with minimal effort.
Improved battery life and fast charging
Compared to the previous model, the RS 4 Mini offers a 30 % longer battery life, which enables up to 13 hours of operating time. Thanks to the quick-charging function, the gimbal can be charged within 30 minutes for 5 hours of use – a decisive advantage for long days of shooting.
Ergonomic design and versatile mounts
The new RS briefcase handle is 20 % smaller and 28 g lighter than the previous DJI handle, making it even more comfortable to use. In addition, the magnetic quick-release mount of the tracking module ensures secure and quick attachment to the tilt axis without the mount loosening.
Conclusion: A powerful mini gimbal for creatives
The DJI RS 4 Mini combines high-quality gimbal stabilization with a mobile and lightweight design. The automatic axis locks, improved tracking module and optimized battery life make it the ideal choice for filmmakers and content creators looking for a compact but powerful solution.
