DJI RS 4 Overview
The DJI RS 4 delivers improved operational efficiency, native vertical shooting, and a wider accessory ecosystem—making it a powerful choice for mirrorless camera users. Weighing just 2.4 lb, it supports a payload of up to 6.6 lb, which easily accommodates compact camera builds. With Teflon-coated axes, the gimbal ensures reduced friction for smoother balancing and operation. Additionally, it features a fine-tuning knob, auto-locking OLED screen, and RSA communication port for expanded connectivity.
Second-Generation Quick Release Plate Design
DJI RS 4 uses the dual-layered quick release plates seen in its predecessor. However, the redesigned horizontal plate allows quicker transitions to native vertical shooting. The tilt axis can be adjusted with a fine-tuning knob to help you find the perfect balance. Moreover, the upper plate includes placement guides for more secure camera mounting.
Compatibility

Second-Generation Automated Axis Locks
When powered off, simply press and hold the power button to unlock all three axes and automatically expand the gimbal in two seconds. Pressing the button once more locks the axes and activates sleep mode. This design also reduces the gap between locked axes, minimizing shake during transport or storage.
RSA Communication Port
The RSA port enables direct integration with DJI Ronin accessories or compatible third-party add-ons. Thanks to DJI’s RS SDK protocol, developers can now create custom features tailored to your specific workflows, offering unmatched flexibility.
Wireless Shutter Control
The RS 4 uses Dual-Mode Bluetooth for wireless shutter control. After the initial pairing, the gimbal reconnects automatically with your camera, eliminating the need for cables. You can start recording video or photos by simply pressing the record button on the handle.
New DJI Focus Pro Motor
You can pair the RS 4 with DJI’s new Focus Pro Motor via the dedicated USB-C port. With 30% faster speed, this motor allows lens focusing through the front dial and zooming with the joystick. This upgrade is ideal for single shooters who need fast, precise control.
Integrated Controls
Slide the new gimbal mode switch to toggle between Pan Follow, Pan and Tilt Follow, and FPV modes. Additionally, you can customize FPV mode to perform 3D Roll 360, Portrait, or Custom configurations.
Other intelligent features include:
Motion-lapse
Subject tracking
Panorama shooting
Moreover, the trigger button can be assigned to FPV mode, letting all three axes follow the grip’s direction while held.
Fourth-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm
The RS 4 uses DJI’s fourth-generation stabilization algorithm, which enhances balance and fluidity across various shooting conditions. It handles vertical shooting, low-angle shots, and fast motion far better than the RS 3—delivering professional results effortlessly.
Auto-Locking OLED Screen
The RS 4 includes a fixed OLED touchscreen with an auto-lock feature. Once locked, the screen dims while continuing to display real-time gimbal and joystick movements, helping conserve battery and avoid accidental changes.
Integrated Monitoring and Control
Use the Ronin app to adjust camera exposure settings or operate the gimbal via a virtual joystick. When paired with the Ronin Image Transmitter, your smartphone transforms into a motion controller—allowing flexible and dynamic remote control for creative shooting.
Enhanced Battery and Fast Charging
The new cartridge-style battery grip is easy to swap and more compact for travel. It charges separately and provides up to 12 hours of runtime, which is ideal for all-day shoots. With 18W PD fast charging, it reaches full charge in just 2.5 hours. Even better, you can use the gimbal while charging to keep working without interruption.
