The DJI RS 3 Pro is a refined 3-axis handheld gimbal crafted for productions that need higher payload headroom, rapid setup, and reliable stabilization. Built with extended carbon fiber arms and high-torque motors, it supports payloads up to 4.5kg, accommodating compact cinema bodies, fast zooms, matte boxes, wireless video, and follow focus systems while maintaining authoritative motor performance. The advanced stabilization algorithm holds horizon and framing through quick accelerations, tight corners, and complex blocking, producing footage that feels polished and cinematic.

Setup is intentionally fast to keep crews moving. Automated axis locks deploy and secure the gimbal in seconds, and a 1.8-inch OLED touchscreen centralizes access to tuning, modes, and calibration. The dual-layer quick release system allows rapid transitions between tripod, handheld, and vehicle rigs, while micro-adjust dials and extended arms make balancing longer lenses and heavier accessories straightforward. Profiles can be saved and recalled so different camera builds maintain consistent handling throughout the shoot day.

Focus and control elevate single-op efficiency. RS 3 Pro integrates cleanly with DJI Focus Pro motors for lens control and is LiDAR-ready for distance-based autofocus and precise pulls in low-contrast scenes. ActiveTrack Pro leverages the ecosystem for tighter subject lock, while Bluetooth shutter control enables cable-free start and stop on supported cameras after pairing. Operators can map the front dial to focus, zoom, or exposure parameters, and a hardware toggle lets the joystick switch between gimbal movement and lens control when configured.

Versatility extends to creative movement. Modes like Timelapse, Hyperlapse, Panorama, Roll 360, and Track for programmable paths enable repeatable motion plates and stylized transitions. SuperSmooth increases motor torque and filtering for tighter focal lengths, suppressing micro-jitter when shooting on longer lenses or when speed is essential. The system’s response curves, deadband, and stiffness are all adjustable, giving operators granular control over how the gimbal reacts in handheld, vehicle, and crane scenarios.

Power and runtime are tuned for full production days. The high-capacity grip targets robust all-day operation under balanced loads, supports USB-C fast charging, and can be detached for independent charging to minimize downtime. Smart power delivery and cable routing help maintain balance and keep rigs tidy, especially when integrating wireless video, lens motors, and on-handle accessories for single-op or two-op workflows.

Rigging flexibility is a core design principle. RSA/NATO ports unlock an ecosystem of handles, wheels, monitor mounts, and third-party accessories, while a strengthened 15mm rod standard supports dual motors for simultaneous focus and zoom. Native vertical solutions let crews switch to portrait compositions quickly for social deliverables without adding bulky adapters, streamlining the day when mixed formats are required.

Operational resilience shows in real-world conditions. The carbon fiber build resists flex under heavier glass, while high-torque motors and refined filters preserve stability in wind and during fast direction changes. Safety features like axis locks, guided calibration, and on-screen prompts reduce setup errors, and the OLED UI makes on-the-fly adjustments fast. With repeatable motion tools and programmable moves, RS 3 Pro supports multi-pass plates and precise choreography for VFX-driven shoots.
