While DJI is best known for launching drones, the company is also quite popular for its gimbals as well. Now, the company has launched two new gimbals, namely the RS 3 and RS 3 Pro, along with a new Transmission wireless system.

Interestingly, all three of the new products that were recently unveiled borrow features from the Chinese company’s first cinema camera Ronin 4D. The RS 3 is basically the successor to the RSC 2 and is the smaller model of the two new gimbals. It features a new axis locking mechanism that releases automatically once the gimbal is powered on. In other words, it is meant to help make the filming process set up quickly.

The RS 3 also features a new Bluetooth shutter button, which means you can begin recording wirelessly, without needing a camera control cable. Notably, the company claims a “20 percent improved performance over the RSC 2,” which should be noticeable when filming moving subjects like cars from a low angle. Other notable feature includes a 1.8 inch OLED display that should also help make finer adjustments on the go. Although, the interchangeable battery grip only offers 12 hours of battery life compared to the previous gen’s 14 hours.

The RS 3 is a handheld gimbal and weighs just 1.3 kilograms and has a maximum payload of 3 kilograms. But for those that feel that this limit is too low, DJI has another product that has a higher payload capacity. The new RS 3 Pro is the larger model between the two and weighs 1.5 kilograms but has a maximum payload of 4.5 kilograms. Similar to the base variant, the Pro model also shares all of its features like the Bluetooth shutter control button, a 1.8 inch OLED touchscreen panel, and the physical mode button on the grip.

However, there is one notable feature that the RS 3 Pro offers. It is the new LiDAR focusing technology, which was also found on the Ronin 4D. With the help of this technology and the improved motor focus, the DJI LiDAR Range Finder helps turn manual lenses into autofocus lenses. Furthermore, the ActiveTrack Pro also promises to help offer a steady and in focus shots despite demanding scenes by improving subject detection and tracking.

The company’s third and final product is the new DJI Transmission, which is its wireless video solution. Its tech again borrows features from the Ronin 4D cinema camera. It allows for remote monitoring and control of your camera, the RS 3 Pro gimbal, or even both at the same time. The new O3 Pro transmission also supports video casting up to a range of 6 kilometers at 1080p 60fps with live audio monitoring as well. The new wireless video transmission system arrives with a transmitter that sits on top of whatever device one wishes to pair it with and has a receiver mounted on a 7 inch monitor that has 1500 nits of peak brightness.

The two new gimbals from DJI starts sale today (16th June 2022), with the base RS 3 starting from 549 US Dollars. On the other hand, the RS 3 Pro costs 869 US Dollars. Prospective buyers can also bundle the RS 3 with a number of different accessories like an extra handle, a new focus motor, a carrying case, and more, but it will cost you another 719 US Dollars. Similarly, the RS 3 Pro combo includes an extended quick release plate, phone holder, new focus motor, Ronin image transmitter, and more for another 1,099 US Dollars. Lastly, the DJI Transmission starts sale later this year for 2,499 US Dollars.
