DJI RS 4 Pro Gimbal Stabiliser

DJI RS 4 Pro Gimbal Stabiliser Summary

With sturdy and lightweight carbon fibre axis arms, the DJI RS 4 Pro Gimbal Stabiliser supports professional filmmaking equipment of up to 4.5kg. This enables secure balancing of mirrorless and cinema cameras with popular lenses for the film and television industry.

It’s not only a higher payload which differentiates DJI’s pro gimbal stabiliser from the base model, but also the Car Mount mode, an included BG30 Grip, upgraded dual rolling bearings, and compatibility with the entire DJI Pro Ecosystem to name a few.

This generation pro gimbal features a number of upgrades too, which include a 20% increase ‌[2]‌ in motor torque across three axes, smoother balancing with a Teflon™ coating on all three axes, plus several operating enhancements.

The design now features native vertical shooting, an automatic screen lock, as well as 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks, for significantly enhanced shooting. DJI’s fourth generation stabilisation algorithm is also optimised for different situations, with superior balance between stabilisation strength and the tactile feel of camera movement.

You can achieve intelligent LiDAR autofocus with the new optional DJI Focus Pro LiDAR Range Finder, as well as adding pro filmmaking accessories such as the Focus Pro Grip and Focus Pro Motor.

DJI RS 4 Pro Gimbal Stabiliser in More Detail

High Payload

Built with carbon fibre axis arms, the DJI RS 4 Pro benefits from a high 4.5kg (10lbs) payload capacity as well as robust power and torque. This design more easily accommodates mainstream mirrorless/cinema camera and lens setups.

Improved 2nd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting

The DJI RS 4 Pro features a newly designed horizontal plate, enabling faster and easier native vertical shooting. Without the need for additional accessories, you can simply release the horizontal plate and secure it into the vertical position for an easy switch to vertical shooting, [2] paving the way for much more efficient vertical video creation.

Smoother balancing and a Teflon™ Coating

• The roll axis now has dual rolling bearings, facilitating easier adjustments.
• All three axes feature a Teflon™ coating, resulting in reduced friction and smoother balancing.
• The fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis can move the camera forward or backward, achieving precise, millimetre-level balancing, when switching cameras or lenses.
• An added adjustable placement guide on the upper quick-release plate, ensures secure camera mounting.

Automatic Screen Lock

‌The RS 4 Pro’s OLED touchscreen incorporates a new auto-lock feature. Once locked, the screen will display the current gimbal and joystick modes at a low brightness, which not only prevents accidental touches, but also helps conserve battery power.

Improved 2nd-Gen Automated Axis Locks

Automated axis locks allow the RS 4 Pro gimbal stabiliser to swiftly begin working or enter sleep mode, which significantly enhances shooting, transition, and storage efficiency. Additionally, the axis locks have smaller gaps when locked, further reducing gimbal shake.

Enhanced professional camera stabilisation

Excellent Stability, Exceptional Standards

Once balanced, DJI RS 4 Pro features a 20% increase ‌[2]‌ in motor torque across three axes, offering greater power redundancy. This ensures that the gimbal remains responsive and accurate in its tracking movements, even when loaded with heavy cameras or multiple accessories. Additionally, it provides sufficient power to support gimbal stabilisation in various shooting scenarios.

Car Mount Mode

The new Car Mount mode optimises the gimbal stabilisation algorithm based on vehicle vibrations and wind resistance data, enabling steady capture even in shaky conditions.

4th-Gen RS Stabilisation Algorithm

DJI has comprehensively optimised the 4th-generation RS stabilisation algorithm for different scenarios. It strikes an excellent balance between stabilisation strength and the tactile feel of camera movement, delivering excellent stabilisation performance with an enhanced user experience. Additionally, RS 4 Pro offers significantly improved stability when vertical shooting, easily steadying dynamic shots like running or low-angle perspectives.

LiDAR Intelligent Focusing for Confident Shooting

DJI Focus Pro LiDAR Autofocus

The DJI RS 4 Pro stabiliser allows solo cinematographers to experience more accurate, distant, and intelligent LiDAR autofocus, gaining precise control over cinematic expression in dynamic shooting scenarios. This is achieved when paired with the all-new Focus Pro LiDAR [3] and Focus Pro Motor. [4]

Next-Gen ActiveTrack Pro

The next-gen ActiveTrack Pro leverages the all-new Focus Pro LiDAR [3] and AI algorithms, enabling RS 4 Pro's three-axis gimbal to reliably track your subject. Even if the subject is briefly obscured, it can quickly relocate and retain focus. ActiveTrack Pro also exhibits excellent recognition and tracking performance in scenarios involving multiple subjects or when the subject is at a distance.

Dual Focus and Zoom Motors for Enhanced Performance

Support for DJI Focus Pro Motor

Enjoy smoother operation and efficient lens control when paired with the DJI Focus Pro Motor, [4] where DJI RS 4 allows you to control lens focus via dial or adjust the lens zoom via joystick.

High-Efficiency Lens Control

When paired with two Focus Pro Motors, [4] DJI RS 4 Pro allows cinematographers to precisely control the focus by rotating the dial and adjusting the lens zoom via joystick, facilitating smooth and effortless lens control.

Professional Collaboration Remote Control System

DJI Focus Pro Hand Unit

DJI Focus Pro ushers in innovative LiDAR autofocus technology and introduces a high-precision magnetic-damping manual control unit with the Focus Pro Hand Unit. [3]

During team-based shoots, the gimbal operator has the capability to manipulate the RS 4 Pro gimbal using tools like DJI Master Wheels, DJI Ronin 4D Hand Grips, and the DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor [3]. Additionally, the focus puller can activate LiDAR Waveform on the High-Bright Remote Monitor, utilising intelligent focus assistance to achieve finer precision when controlling the Focus Pro Hand Unit.

Efficient Operation and Flexible Creation

High-Capacity Battery Grip

With the optional DJI RS BG70 High-Capacity Battery Grip [3] you can extend the RS 4 Pro's battery runtime up to 29 hours. [10] It also supports powering your camera and accessories with up to 18 W via the USB-C port at the bottom.

Control Ecosystem

Enhanced Lineup

The DJI PRO ecosystem has the Focus Pro AMF lens control system seamlessly integrated, which has been elevated further to offer a robust lineup that opens up new possibilities in film and television production.

Focus Control Ecosystem

RS 4 Pro cinematographers can harness the DJI Focus Pro, which provides a comprehensive and powerful lens control solution. Both solo creations and team collaborations can easily access intelligent LiDAR autofocus as well as multi-channel control of focus, aperture, and zoom, for dynamic mastery over every focus moment.

Video Transmission Ecosystem

Support for DJI Transmission

Support for DJI Ronin Image Transmitter

Both solo cinematographers and small crews can utilise the Ronin Image Transmitter [3] for high-definition live feeds, remote gimbal and camera control, ActiveTrack 4.0, Force Mobile, and many other features, achieving an integrated shooting experience with monitoring and control capabilities.
