The DJI RS 5 Gimbal Stabilizer is a professional-grade 3-axis stabilizer engineered for cinematographers and content creators who demand the best. Weighing just 3.2 lb with a 6.6 lb payload capacity, it pairs a featherweight body with commercial-level performance, featuring Teflon-coated axes for effortless balancing, an auto-locking OLED touchscreen, and a built-in Z-axis indicator for refined vertical motion control.
Built for speed and endurance, the DJI RS 5 delivers a full charge in just one hour via a 65W PD charger and offers up to 14 hours of runtime — 15% more than the RS 4 — or up to 30 hours with the optional BG70 battery grip. Its 2nd-gen automated axis locks let you go from storage to shooting in just two seconds, while the 3rd-gen native vertical shooting design enables seamless portrait-mode capture in moments.
