Engineered for efficiency, it features automated axis locks, intelligent subject tracking, and intuitive composition tools. Enhanced with Teflon™-coated arms for smoother balancing and third-generation native vertical shooting, it offers a seamless and powerful shooting experience that keeps pace with your creative momentum.

A CLOSER LOOK
1s Unlock, Start Filming Right Away
DJI RS 4 Mini adds auto axis locks previously found on DJI’s flagship gimbals, which allow the three axis locks to automatically unlock upon power-on and lock upon power-off or sleep. This noticeably speeds up the filming, transitioning, and storage processes. The storage structure has also been upgraded, with the axis arms folding flatter to save space. Combined with automated axis locks, the gimbal can be stored quickly with the press of a button, making it easy to fit into a bag for convenient carrying.
Faster Vertical Switch
RS 4 Mini offers the fastest switch between horizontal and vertical shooting in the RS series. To switch to vertical shooting, simply loosen and press the single-side knob, remove the gimbal’s horizontal plate, rotate it 90°, and then tighten it back in place. All can be done in 10 seconds. This way, you can directly shoot vertical videos, perfectly suited for mobile phone viewing, letting your audience enjoy your masterpiece even sooner.
The DJI RS 4 Mini is the lightest and most compact stabilizer in DJI’s acclaimed Ronin Series, built specifically for creators and professionals who use mirrorless and compact DSLR cameras. Despite its portable design, the RS 4 Mini packs advanced features like native vertical shooting, Bluetooth shutter control, and 4th-generation RS stabilization, making it ideal for capturing cinematic, shake-free footage on the go.With a payload capacity of up to 2 kg, a redesigned quick-release system, and 10-hour battery life, this gimbal is engineered for efficiency, speed, and creative freedom. Whether you’re a travel vlogger, filmmaker, wedding videographer, or social content creator, the RS 4 Mini provides the essential tools to enhance your visual storytelling without extra bulk.
Threefold Ease for Balancing
Finding it difficult to balance when installing a camera? RS 4 Mini has been meticulously upgraded by adding Teflon interlayers previously used on DJI’s flagship gimbals, reducing friction for smoother balancing.
The new fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis can move the camera forward or backward, achieving precise, millimeter-level balancing.
The upper quick-release plate adds three positioning slots, allowing you to choose different installation positions based on your camera, offering more balancing space. When you need to remove the camera from the gimbal and reattach it, it also aids in memory for quick repositioning without affecting the balancing.
Handles Cameras and Smartphones
RS 4 Mini offers a payload capacity of 2 kg (4.4 lbs), effortlessly handling combinations like the Sony A7 series mirrorless camera with a 24-70 mm F2.8 GM II lens, as well as vlog cameras like the Sony ZV series. When paired with DJI Mic series microphones [5], fill lights, and other accessories, it still allows for smooth camera movements. [6] You can also quickly switch to a smartphone stabilizer using the new Phone Holder. [7] Its versatility seamlessly adapts to different scenarios.
