The DJI RS 5 Combo is a lightweight gimbal kit built for full-frame mirrorless cameras up to 3kg. It combines higher motor torque with a refined stabilisation algorithm, touchscreen subject tracking, and faster one-hour charging. It is designed to balance quickly, react cleanly to footsteps, and keep moving subjects framed with minimal setup, even when switching between horizontal and vertical shooting.

FAQs:
How much weight can the DJI RS 5 support?
The RS 5 supports camera and lens combinations up to 3kg. This maximum load comfortably covers most full-frame mirrorless bodies paired with standard f2.8 zooms or compact cine primes. Proper balancing is still essential for achieving optimal stabilisation and battery performance.
Does the RS 5 require rebalancing when switching to vertical shooting?
No. The native vertical shooting design allows you to rotate the mounting plate and lock it back in place without rebalancing the tilt or pan axes. This makes switching between social media-focused or portrait formats quick and predictable on set.
Is subject tracking built into the gimbal?
Tracking requires the RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module. Once attached, tracking is controlled directly from the gimbal’s touchscreen and works for single people, vehicles, or pets under suitable conditions. This accessory is included in this combo.
How lightweight is the RS 5?
The RS 5 weighs 1.193kg, including the Upper and Lower Quick-Release Plates and screws. When you’re ready to film, it weighs just 1.46kg with the Battery Grip and quick-release plates. The weight makes it comfortable to handle when moving between shots, working handheld for extended periods, or packing the gimbal into a smaller kit bag without stripping it down.
What is the difference between the previous-generation RS 4 and the RS 5?
The RS 5 builds on the RS 4 with several measurable upgrades. Peak motor torque increases by around 50%, giving the RS 5 more headroom with heavier mirrorless zooms and better stability during faster movement. Charging is also quicker, with a full charge achievable in around 1 hour, roughly 60% faster than RS 4, and battery standby time increases by about 15%. The RS 5 also adds hardware refinements such as a Z-axis indicator and updated automated axis locks, while retaining the same 3kg payload.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
