DJI RS 4 Mini Combo, Gimbal Stabilizer, Canon/Sony/Nikon/Fujifilm

I’ve been using the DJI RS 4 Mini Combo with my Sony camera and Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 G2 lens, and it handles the setup well. Balancing is straightforward once you do it a couple of times, and the stabilization is excellent for walking shots and event videos. One thing many people worry about is whether this gimbal can handle a Sony camera with a standard zoom lens. In my experience, it works without issues and remains comfortable to use for longer shoots. The gimbal is compact, easy to carry, and a good option for anyone who wants smoother footage without carrying a larger, heavier setup. Overall, I’m very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to Sony users looking for a lightweight gimbal.

The stabilization makes such a noticeable difference. Footage looks much smoother and more professional, especially while walking or moving the camera. The controls feel intuitive once you get familiar with them, and the compact size makes it much more convenient to carry than I expected. An excellent tool for travel videos, reels, and content creation.

It does fit the R5 Mark II nicely. But I recommend using fixed focal length lenses. While it does work with the 15-35 and the 24-70 mm f2.8 lenses. you will not be able to put it on the briefcase mode as you have to sit the camera far back and your viewfinder will interfere with the movement if you try. I also had a smallrig cage for my camera and although it is designed to fit the RS4 series it would not fit the RS 4 mini. You can still screw on the plate to the bottom of your cage and use it but it would have been nice if they didn't slightly change the sliding mechanism's so that I could slide the camera into the gimball without needing to attach their base plate. The intelligent tracking is nice to follow a person's head. It would be nice if they added functionality for it to track your hands instead of your face. Sure you can slightly change the composition of how it tracks you but there is a limit of how much you can point it away from your face. If they Just add ability to track hands, also add ability to track animals or vehicles as well and it would be fantastic. Overall I think I will keep this one. I had tried the RS4 and RS4 pro before and found them way too bulky. This one is smaller, more affordable and even has the ability to connect to your camera while also using the tracker. The other RS4 models you are limited to either connecting to the camera or the tracker. This one can do both. It can adjust the focus of my R5 and start stop recording with the buttons on the gimball. I tried bluetooth remote and didn't have any luck connecting to my camera. But the USB cable does a fine job of it.

Definitely takes some practice in getting set up and definitely helps save the writs after a long session and helps to get better steady angles.

Nice gimbal 🔥

Update: not only did I watch my $5,000 camera / lens hit the ground because this snapped in half at the handle. My camera and my lens weigh just over 2 lbs. Yet this is rated for 4.4 lbs Which now I know is only held together by a small piece of metal on one side with tiny little screws and what seems to have broke on the other side thin pieces of plastic with tiny little screws. But I found out that I have to send it in which takes 2 weeks then it will take at least 2 weeks to fix it so I'm out the product that I need for my business. For over a month. Unless you want a similar experience I highly recommend you do not do business with DJI. Update: Honestly the more I use this the more I realize it was not built properly So today I learned that you cannot use the Bluetooth functionality and the wired functionality at the same time. Which means you can connect it to your camera via the cable and control the focus ISO aperture but you cannot control the zoom because that only works via the Bluetooth functionality And they cannot be used at the same time. Such a waste of good technology Previous review: Started off with a really bad experience * it shook the entire time moving left or right with the joystick (even with being perfectly balanced) * calibration didn't work after many tries failed every time * the update process took 2 tries because the app fully crashed during the first try * dji forces you to log in and give them so many permissions just to use it after 5 trys which includes turning it off/ which i had to do because out of the box it wasn't working properly at all Cons: * the screen doesn't always work when you try to swipe and the UI is definitely not beginner user friendly * too many steps to be able to make basic changes/ especially changes to the joysticks movement ie slowing it down/ far too many steps you have to take within their menu by swiping down picking the part that you need to use and then making your adjustments Should have been on the first screen as that's one of the most important parts F- after you go through and make all of your adjustments as soon as you turn it off they're all gone you have to start over from scratch every time you turn it on * the locking motors is one of the best features I've ever seen on a gimbal don't get me wrong but it takes too long to turn back on * no way to track non human subjects/ there is no camera app that gives you Ai tracking functionality like other much cheaper brands * no phone mount came with the over $500 gimbal * no case came with it *screw to hold phone is Extremely short *dial wheel is way to small made for tiny fingers/ hard to use it smoothly with larger fingers Honestly for the price you pay they should have included a case and the phone mount they are always included with cheaper gimbal brands they give you them for even $150 gimbals.. very disappointing That combined with all the out of the box issues Definitely not a good start or a good company first impression so far... I will update my review after I get a chance to try it again Update: Honestly it's not a bad gimbal and its ability to perform the motions properly, but the overall thought process of the UI screen layout and the basic functions being hid in different menus that don't always work especially when you need them to considering the touch screen is not flawless. That combined with the fact that it doesn't have a dedicated AI camera app that you can use that gives you abilities with the AI tracking module and access to the settings so that you can work it properly in the first place, like every other brand out there including the much much cheaper ones Just shows that DJI cares about your money but not about giving you what you're paying for. Just the basics they can get away with. Honestly overall I'm very disappointed.. I would not recommend purchasing from Dji

Love it. Changes how I approach shooting in the field.

Bien

Nao sei se é impressão minha mais a bateria acaba muito rapido principalmente quando ele ta com o dispositivo de tracker e ligado no Bluetooth com a camera e tambem o meu ja veio cortado o lacre da caixa tenho pra mim que foi na alfândega pois todos acessórios vieram certinho

I got the full combo but didn’t find the phone holder how i can use the phone instead of the camera if no holder and how I can find it i already tried many times through many applications but nothing. Overall it’s such a great one i love it very smart very light still need a bit on it but yeah it’s great

Przeszedlem na ten gimbal z Zhujun Weebil 3s, co jest raczej zaskakujace wedlug ekspertow z YT. JEDNAK, czuje roznice. Auto lock na osiach i prostsze o wiele prostsze poziomowanie robi roznice. Polecam

The only downside I can find is that the quick release plate can't fit a standard arca swiss plate. Replaced the original with one from SmallRig to be able to use my other gear properly.

Ürün elime güzel paketlenmiş ve sorunsuz şekilde ulaştı. İlk kez gimbal kullanmama rağmen kurulumu ve kullanımı düşündüğümden daha kolay oldu. Birkaç denemeden sonra hemen alıştım. Çekim yaparken eldeki sallantıyı oldukça azaltıyor ve videolar çok daha akıcı görünüyor. Özellikle yürürken yaptığım çekimlerde farkı net şekilde gördüm. Ürün hafif olduğu için taşımak ve uzun süre elde kullanmak da zorlamıyor. Combo paketinin içeriği de yeterli ve kullanışlı. Malzeme kalitesi güzel, elde sağlam bir ürün hissi veriyor. Şu ana kadar herhangi bir sorun yaşamadım. Video çeken ve daha düzgün görüntüler elde etmek isteyenler için gayet başarılı bir ürün. Memnun kaldım, tavsiye ederim.
