Expanding on the powerful features of the Ronin series, DJI RS 3 Pro is an advanced, comprehensive camera expansion platform that empowers videographers and provides coordinated shooting solutions for professional crews. With DJI RS 3 Pro, nothing is out of reach.

RS 3 Pro uses extended carbon fibre axis arms to allow more balancing space for professional cameras, making it a perfect fit for cameras like the Sony FX6 or Canon C70 with 24-70mm F2.8 lenses.

The new Extended Lower Quick-Release Plate ensures more stable camera mounting and is convenient for installing lens support for more secure setups.

To make the balancing process easier, a fine-tuning knob has been added for the tilt axis to move the camera forward or backward more precisely, even down to the millimetre. With Teflon®-coated components, RS 3 Pro can be balanced with less friction and lower resistance, even when mounting heavy cameras.

RS 3 Pro allows you to get started fast to never miss a shot. Simply press and hold the power button and the three axes unlock and expand automatically, allowing you to start shooting within seconds. Press the power button once, and the axes automatically lock and enter sleep mode, making the company move significantly more efficient. Press and hold the power button and it will fold and lock automatically.

The optimised structural design of RS 3 Pro ensures that its weight remains the same as RS 2 at just 1.5 kg (includes gimbal, battery grip, and dual-layered quick-release plates), while its load capacity is a robust 4.5 kg, delivering powerful support in a lightweight body.

Equipped with Dual-Mode Bluetooth technology, RS 3 Pro is able to achieve efficient and reliable wireless shutter control. After the initial Bluetooth pairing, you can control video and photo shooting by pressing the record button on the stabiliser. A previously paired camera will automatically reconnect, saving you time with every ensuing use.

By simply sliding the new Gimbal Mode Switch, you can alternate between Pan follow, Pan and Tilt follow, and FPV modes. The FPV mode selection is also customizable to 3D Roll 360, Portrait, or Custom, allowing you to adjust your equipment and get started fast.

A large, built-in 1.8-inch OLED full-colour touchscreen increases screen size by 28% compared to RS 2, making it incredibly convenient for setting parameters, checking shooting status, and framing your tracked subjects. And with the redesigned user interface, every setting is more intuitive and precise. The OLED screen also offers higher brightness than the LCD screen of RS 2 for better outdoor viewing with lower power consumption.

The RS 3 Pro arms are constructed from layered sheets of uncut carbon fibre, just like the Ronin 2. This makes it lighter and stronger than the jointed carbon fibre material used on RS 2, increasing stiffness and lowering the weight to cope with even more demanding shooting environments.

Empowered by the third generation of RS stabilization algorithms, RS 3 Pro provides significantly enhanced stability in any scenario. Laboratory sampling data shows RS 3 Pro provides a 20% increase in stability over RS 2, effortlessly managing low-angle shots, running scenarios, or switching between high and low positions.

When SuperSmooth mode is enabled, RS 3 Pro increases motor torque to further enhance stabilization, delivering stable footage even in fast-moving scenarios or when using 100mm-equivalent focal length lenses.

To make focusing easier, Ronin 4D’s LiDAR focusing technology is applied to RS 3 Pro. The new LiDAR Range Finder (RS) can project 43,200 ranging points within a 14-meter distance. It also features a built-in camera with an equivalent focal length of 30 mm and a wide FOV of 70°, catering to the focusing needs of most scenarios.

Compared with conventional focusing technology, the LiDAR focusing system does not need to rely on the surface texture of the subject. This is especially useful in low-light environments or complicated scenarios with multiple subjects and results in exceptionally stable focus.

It supports both Wide Mode and Spot Mode. In Wide Mode, the range finder automatically detects the subject and follows focus. In Spot Mode, users can manually frame or tap the subject to focus.

The next-generation DJI RS Focus Motor (2022) provides torque three times stronger (up to 1 N·m) and reduces audible noise by 50%. This delivers a smoother focusing experience and reduces the effect on audio recording. It also adopts a quick-release structure, allowing it to be assembled easily without any tools for faster use.

The pairing of the LiDAR Range Finder with the new Focus Motor also makes cinematic autofocus on manual lenses possible. Press the M button on the gimbal once to quickly switch between manual focus and autofocus to meet your needs for both modes effortlessly.

After the calibration of manual lenses, several lens calibration profiles can be stored in the focus motor, so there is no need to re-calibrate before ensuing uses. Certain cinema lenses can even directly connect to the focus motor for autofocus with no need for calibration.
