Who are DJI gimbals designed for?

If you produce video content with a digital camera, a gimbal stabiliser can make a huge difference to the production quality you are creating. Third generation DJI RS 3 gimbals offer an integrated solution for solo creators who perhaps have a Youtube channel. Videographers, filmmakers, documentary and production crews all use gimbal rigs to stabilise their footage and add certain accessories to enhance focusing.

DJI’s latest generation DJI RS 3 Pro is aimed at professional filmmakers who might use a Cinema camera, offering a higher payload (4.5kg). The Pro version also provides access to a greater range of accessories including the new Video transmitter and LiDar focusing. The rig itself is similar, with new controls for mode switching, the same new colour OLED touchscreen and improved camera mounting. Both gimbals feature third generation stabilisation algorithms with DJI claims are up to 20 more stable.

If you work in a crew, on TV or on sets, the DJI RS 3 Pro or DJI RS 3 Pro Combo are without doubt the ideal choice. It gets harder to decide if you shoot solo productions or work with small crews, as the DJI RS 3 provides everything you need, aside from the payload and range of video accessories.

Summary

These two latest gimbals from DJI and their combo kits present incredibly powerful and efficient stabilisation for serious videography. Which you choose will inevitably come down to whether you shoot with a regular camera (mirrorless / DSLR) or a pro video camera. The range of compatible accessories available for the PRO also might dictate which makes the most sense for the type of productions you work in.

Regardless of which version you choose, these represent the very pinnacle of stabilisation technology from DJI, a forward thinking tech company who are dynamic enough to come up with these ground breaking video products to help creators reach new levels with their productions.
