Drone-maker DJI has today officially launched two new gimbals — RS 2 and the RSC 2. It seems that the company has rebranded the Ronin series for shorter names. Both of them are three-axis gimbals and comes with noticeable upgrades.

The company claims that the devices are built using carbon fiber material, making them lightweight. The DJI RS2 weighs 1.3 kilograms and can support a dynamic payload of 4.5 kilograms, enough to carry DSLRs and lenses.

On the other hand, the DJI RSC 2 is made for portability as it weighs 1.2 kilograms and has a foldable body that makes it a better option to carry around in a bag. There’s a 1.4-inch touchscreen display that shows settings, camera data, and transmits a live feed of what is being recorded on the camera.

The devices come with support for Titan Stabilization Algorithm and a new vertical and low-angle Briefcase modes that allow content creators to record interest views and angles that would be difficult to do manually.

The gimbals also have support for SuperSmooth — a software enhancement that is designed for smoothing out movements when shooting with a tighter lens of up to 100mm focal length.

The company has repositioned the follow focus wheel on the front side of the handle and sits comfortably above the index finger. Further, the gimbals are compatible with Arca Swiss & Manfrotto plates.

Coming to the pricing, the DJI RS 2 is now available for $849 while the Combo bundle with additional accessories costs $999. On the other hand, the DJI RSC 2 is priced at $499 and the Combo Bundle is available for $739.

DJi has just announced its brand new mobile gimbal in the OSMO family, the DJI OM 4. Instead of the usual ‘OSMO Mobile’ branding, the company is simply calling it as the OM 4.

The DJI OSMO 3 was a foldable and feature-rich mobile gimbal at a pretty affordable price. In fact, we compared the OSMO 3 with two other popular mobile gimbals last year and we were pretty happy with OSMO’s performance. This year’s DJI OM 4 carries forward the best features from the OSMO 3 but makes it more user friendly by adding magnetic mounts.

This is one of the biggest highlights of the new OSMO 4 (OM 4). You get two options to attach your phone to the gimbal. You can either use a clamp that comes with a magnet at the back or your can use a small and compact magnetic ring holder that you can attach to the back of your phone. In both the cases, you can simply snap the phone on to the gimbal in a second.

The new gimbal retains the same foldable design as its predecessor but is slightly more compact and lighter (390 grams vs 405 grams). DJI also adds that the OM 4 gimbal can carry heavier smartphones up to 230 grams in weight. So you can even mount a heavy device like the ASUS Zenfone 7 Pro. The battery capacity remains the same as the OSMO 3 – 2450mAh with a rated 15 hour battery life. The new gimbal also retains the same 3-axis stabilization as its previous version.

The DJI OM 4 (OSMO 4) also brings improvements in the software. You get an improved Active Track 3.0 which DJI claims offer better tracking accuracy of subjects such as humans and pets and DynamicZoom which automatically zooms in or out of the subject as you move in or out, respectively. You also get a new Cloneme Pano mode which captures a series of images of a moving subject to clone him or her in different poses in a wide panoramic image.

Other features include a SpinShot mode to create a barrel roll effect, slo-mo mode, 240-degree panorama, and 3 x 3 panorama (9 photos stitched together to automatically create a super wide shot). You also get  three special modes – time lapse, hyper lapse and motion lapse to create unique videos using the gimbal.

The DJI OM4 is priced at $149 in the US, which is $30 more than the OSMO 3 ($119). But note that at this price, accessories such as the grip tripod and the magnetic phone clamp and ring holder come right inside the box.

You can get the DJI OM 4 gimbal from Best Buy and DJI’s official online store.
