DJI RS3 - You won't believe what this GIMBAL can do.

[@andrewsaraceni]

Thanks for covering this; nice to see them bring a lot of the RS2 features into the RS3 (given it's an RSC2 replacement, really). Auto-locking will save so much time.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Auto locking is (I hate to use it..but very true in this respect) game changing

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Self locking is something you cant live without once you've tried it, seriously.

[@Luke-vg7ut]

Hey mate, I’m trying to decide which one to get, was hoping you could tell me: 1: does the RS3 have balancing view? 2: can you view Raveneye transmission output on the RS3 gimbal screen? Or are both of these features for the Pro only

[@lucrativestance]

@@Luke-vg7ut to view the video off the lcd of the gimbal you must have the lidar attachment

[@Luke-vg7ut]

@@lucrativestance No, you don't. You need the Raveneye Wireless Transmitter, I was just trying to figure out if it works on both the RS3 Pro and the RS3. I dont think you can even view the LiDAR cameras output on the gimbals screen on either gimbal.

[@lucrativestance]

@@Luke-vg7ut according to “ Dji website “ you can view the lidars camera on the ronin lcd, that’s how you would be selecting the “ active tracking” via the lcd on the screen from the lidar feed. The only thing that confuses me abit is, that if that same video feed will display on the app. So you can use the active tracking selection tool via app.

[@fedorbutorin3850]

Is it worth overpaying for it?

[@Cbartlettbo]

This video was my deciding factor for buying the RS3 over the RS3 mini. Great video as always!

[@toshi4754]

hello. I'm using RS2 now, but I bought this newly released gimbal, RS3. It is equipped with various functions and is even more powerful. Stable smoothness is alive and well! I subscribed to the channel. thank you.

[@lucaslonghurst]

The RS3 is less powerful than the RS2

[@th3muddler]

Hey bud. Cool channel! Met you & you're wife yesterday at a wedding! (I was the DJ) Cheers bud just wanted to bless the channel with a sub and a comment! You guys are true pros! happy fathers day!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Great working with you!

[@RudyVisuals]

30 seconds in and I am already sold on this gimbal (don't worry I still watched the rest of the awesome review!)

[@TheAaronalden]

First thought when I heard rumors was, "gimbals are gimbals, what could they actually add to make it worth upgrading."... well a lot I guess. Those features will make life a lot easier!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Yeh man I’ve been using this for a few weeks and the locks and Bluetooth control are both things I use EVERYTIME now. Super smart useful functionality

[@Marcus_Visbal]

Thank you for this, my RS2 just died and was between an RS3 Mini( I would have bought if I was strictly a content creator) and this because I don’t have the budget for the pro right now. I don’t need the things the RS3 Pro offer right now but do need stable footage for real estate clients. I picked a used one and waiting for it now 🙌

[@jeffro06]

Just purchased one a week ago! Love it!

[@involvedfitness5875]

Could you show us how you balance the 70-200mm ? thank you !

[@Balancinglife]

The best rs3 video I've watched

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Thankyou

[@smithtv1110]

The setting screen is now 1.8" full-color OLED and touchscreen?! that makes me so excited to try RS3!! Ordering soon!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

yep! big upgrade

[@ВадимЭм]

Haha!

[@fedorbutorin3850]

Hello, Smith. Are you already using this stabilizer? What can you say about it? What are the pros and cons? Is it worth upgrading if the previous stabilizer works, but not quite correctly?

[@WCWMidnight]

I literally just ordered this because of your review!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

You’ll love it

[@writhracing1642]

Do you think with some counter weights I could balance the 70-200 2.4 g master? I have the ZV-E1 which is also a really lite camera

[@AryanSehgal]

Awesome review man. Your real estate shots look dope!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Appreciate it 🙏🏼

[@kylecarter7928]

Detachable battery? Now that's an upgrade!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

yup!

[@edjela]

I have the Sony a1 with a Tamron 35 to 150 mm, and I'm stuck thinking about what gimbal I should go for. If I should go for the Rs3 pro or the Rs3. Watching you put a 70-200 lens on the Rs3 makes me rethink whether I could be fine with just the Rs3. What do you recommend me to go for? I want to do a lot of real estate with it, plus do you have a KZbin channel with real estate content?

[@mgnvision]

is it possible to control your gimbal with your phone if the bluetooth of the gimbal is connected with camera? and one more thing can i control the zoom of the lens 18-105 f4 G using the gimbal? thanks.

[@Dundiii]

Hi Chris Greate video! The smallrig part to hold the phone mount, you forgot to add the link for it 😕 I just got the RS3 Pro (first gimball) and I need an extender for the phone mount, else there is no space for a full rotation. So I am quite interested in which one you have in the video 😄

[@roykouyoumjian1]

If put in vertical, can we flip the camera screen ?

[@exploreadventre]

Can I just ask please with all the footage of filming and shoots with the DJI RS3 gimbal. With all the scenes that have been filmed is this what they look like even though they haven't been edited. Is this what the formats of the video shows on this. For videography many thanks Robert.

[@Zizos]

If you have the extra handle on the left could you mount an external battery for the camera on right? Maybe with a springy USB cable. I guess I could even mount a power bank on top of the camera.

[@ethereumofficial]

Best RS3 Review

[@Alexcphotoclt]

With that zoom the viewfinder doesn't get in the way whit that motor?

[@EricBates]

Thanks I learned some new things for my gimbal!

[@Dtufino]

Wondering if this gimbal will support my Canon r5 + Canon rf 28-70 f2 (which is a HUGE & Heavy lens)

[@TrueNorf]

SUPER USEFUL Video, thankyou Chris! Have just picked up the RS3 combo for a couple of initial projects! Can't WAIT to get going on it!

[@taair6270]

Does Bluetooth work with Olympus cameras?

[@allthingsdadbk7323]

This was super helpful. You just sold me sir. Good stuff

[@umbetaliyev.a]

Can the stabilizer be connected wirelessly to a Sony A7III?

[@leitzundchaos]

I'm curious if you still use s cinetone? Or s log 3 for high dynamic range scenarios? BTW test footage looks buttery smooth! :) my fav video from all of them out there

[@PartyPeed]

Thanks for the information. I've been running with the RS2 since it was released and it has done well for me. My only complaint is that I can't focus from the RS2 to my Canon EOS R5C. Whom do you think I should talk to in order to find out if upgrading to an RS3 would solve that problem?

[@HamishJoy]

Hi, Chris. I am just an enthusiast, not pro at all. I use an a7iii with Tamron lenses… plus, I rarely use manual focus lenses. With this in mind, I simply won’t need RS3 Pro. However, I really really want the Transmission system and the active track. For this, I understand I can use the Transmission system along with RS3 and that should be enough. I will be losing out on LiDar support. I’m tempted by the carbon fiber body, and I may find the smaller handle slightly less comfortable. But what else will I be losing if I go with the RS3 and not the RS3 Pro?

[@XenOng3n]

Do you think it’s worth to upgrade from RSC2? Aside from the auto lock that is🤔

[@felipevece]

do you think the DJI RS3 can hold a black magic 4k?

[@garreswe]

It would have been nice if you explained the different packages, the focus motor and raven eye doesn't come with the basic setup. Also Bluetooth doesn't work for every camera.

[@Vinesh.vk7]

Hello.. can we change iso wirelessly?

[@erikbarsingerhorn4485]

How does the stabilization work with a focus motor and a lens with no Internal Focus lens? Becauce it's stickingout?

[@mariefs.]

Im really looking into getting the RS3 combo, this really helped. Im wondering what fps you shot the A7S3 clips in?

[@agenericaccount3935]

I am so jazzed for these. I had the rsc2 which I loved. I never really bonded with the RS2 the same way. Maybe it was just my copy but it had a lot of pan axis weirdness. The mk3 pro is looming as its replacement. Edit: Oh my God the hardware mode switch 😍

Nikon Z6II Bluetooth is a headache turns off every time screensaver comes on in camera? and when I shut it off and turn it back on Bluetooth configuration is lost and have too start from step 1?? what is going on?

[@jameswilkinson9066]

Hi. Thanks for the video. If I have lenses with a telescoping zoom then would I have to re balance the camera on the gimbal every time I adjust the zoom? Also, is there a benefit to having the focus motor if those are the lenses you have. I'm not sure how they benefit.

[@TheTravellerSheriff]

DJI RS3 works with lumix S5IIX?

[@dinucristi]

I have watched multiple videos explaining how to pair my Sony a7s3 with the RS3 and I wasn't able to make the camera visibile for the gimbal. I've tried enabling Bluetooth, activating the remote via Bluetooth option, nothing worked. Do you have any advice in regards to this? Thanks a million and keep up the good work.

[@SX-fq8cr]

great review! Do You know if previous generation focus motor (from RS2, RSC2) is compatible with RS3? Older motor is around half the price and new one is still unavailable in most shops. Maybe you are in possession of focus motor from RS2 and can check if it works with RS3. Also it would be nice to know if new focus motor from RS3 works with RS2

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Great question, I don’t have the old one to test unfortunately

[@SX-fq8cr]

@@chrisbrockhurst then maybe you could try opposite - would focus motor from RS3 work with RS2

[@MrRyanAnderson]

The mist filter in the studio drove me crazy.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Likewise, especially for the close ups of the screen. Live and learn

[@adrielcosta2509]

Do you know if the Raven Eye Transmission system works in portrait mode? I would also like to know if you have already tested the DJR vertical mount with the Sigma 24-70?

Can an RS3 Pro handle a Sony FX6 with 70-200 GM Mark 2? Even with a small battery or no battery through D-Tap?

Great video review. Thank you for making this! I just got the DJI rs3 and this answered a few questions I had about setup!

[@saulmuzic]

Would the Ronin Rs3 be able to support the Canon 90d with the 18-135 mm lens ? I’m having trouble finding the answer , thank you! This would be my first gimbal so I want to be sure it works!

[@firpofutbol]

Can you balance the Tamron 35-150mm at 150mm on it?

[@DannyNagymusic]

How would you go about balancing zoom lenses so that is good in every focal length ? I use a 24-70 and sometimes it’s just randomly turns off… balance it mid way and I experience if I shoot 70 or 24 it just gives up but it says it’s fine when I am midway….

[@artemis360]

The man has all the professional tools he needs for his trade on the wall like Ironman ready to go into battle - drones, bags... a selection of caps...

[@rogalaphotography]

Great video! So the RS3 should be strong enough to hold a Canon EOS R with an RF 15-35mm lens no problem correct? Sorry I'm new to these larger gimbals...I still use my DJI Pocket 2 for most of my B Roll gimbal video...

[@benstrailyphotography]

Been debating to get the rsc2 for the last week. So glad I waited.

[@Bo_Hazem]

Until we get auto-recalibration where it automatically moves the camera around to cut 99% of the hassle I would stick to RS2 for now. RS3 Pro is the better upgrade due to the longer arms but it seems to be rated at 4.5kg just like RS2.

[@lb_projekt]

Yes this gimbal needs an auto calibration mode.. i put the camera with the lens up and the gimbal recognize it and auto calibrate

[@Mysticfly1000]

What's the name and model of the dual handle grip? And is it compatible with RS3?

can you still use a RS3 on a non-compatible camera like a DSLR to stabilise footages? Kindly help. thanks!

[@elvinp.s5494]

can the wireless shutter control - control other camera setings other than recording such as aperture and all that?

[@AlexDelfont]

Thanks for this, do you think the RS3 would handle the Tamron 35 150 f2-2.8, its weighs 1.1kg and is quite long when extended, I guess probably fairly similar to your 70-200. Also can you control focus on focus by wire lenses with the gimbal dial?

[@AdamSalehx]

Yessss, I got the same issue, it maxes out at 50 mm before having 0 free space when balancing, did you find a solution?

[@MusingOfaMan]

Excellent, well planned and executed review, Chris. Wouldn't expect anything less. I have what I think is quite a niche query and I reckon you're the fella to answer this. So my Weebill-S took quite a knock on a recent shoot and I'm pretty sure it's dead so I'm on the lookout for the replacement. I've landed on the RS3 I think but here's the question. Shooting on the A7iii and I'm wondering with the Bluetooth connectivity, any thoughts as to being able to use the joystick on the gimbal to move Flexible Spot focus?🤔 I reckon that's highly unlikely and if so, does Raveneye support tap to focus on your mobile device do you know? Thanks in advance. 🙏🏻

[@carltonriffel3982]

Great question. Ive looked everywhere for an answer to this and haven't found it. I have the same camera and focusing is the biggest sorespot when on a gimbal. Would love to know if you find out!

how about if i have no bluetooth in camera? how can i use it remotely? tnx.

Hi Chris, is a camera mount plate compatible with RSC2/RS2? I am using Falcam F38 plate on my RSC2. Can I use the same plate on RS3? Question no.2 can be switched to portrait mode without dismounting from gimbal? With button press? Thanks a lot 👍

can this track a person or an object. I know rs3 pro can do it but can this do it? Because I have a a7iv with a 85mm gmaster. So this is perfect for me I just want to know if it tracks. And do you think the tracking feature comes in handy?

[@britoav]

Thanks for the video, great demonstrations! I have one question for you, if weight capacity wasn't an issue, let's say, shotting with an a6xxx sony series + cage + sigma 16 1.4 or a7iii with 24mm...If you could get an used rs2 for less or almost the same price as a new RS3, what would you choose? Is the motors/stabilization improvement in the 3rd generation are that good to forget about carbon arms/ more robust construction of the rs2?

[@jake2eproductions]

Can you just use the a7siii built in wireless monitoring using wifi insteadof raven eye?

[@lewiswright4038]

can this be used with a camera cage from say small rig

[@nicoflic]

Hello I recently bought the rs3 and I have been having trouble balancing my Sony 70-200 2.8 lens, I have a Sony a7s3. So I was wondering if you could give me some tips? Or if you are using counterweights which ones and stuff like that? Thanks!

[@MJOb928]

Same here - I read Chris review and assumed my 70-200 2.8 GM would be fine but its not balancing. I've now noticed he was using the 70-200 F4, not the F2.8 GM / GM2.

[@chrisbrockhurst]

The F2.8 is a bit heavier and I havnt tested with that one, it’s not hugely heavier though. Might be more challenging to balance

[@MJOb928]

@@chrisbrockhurst I did eventually get it to balance in the end by mounting to the gimbal using the bracket mid-way along the lens (instead of on the camera)👍 Hoping to get smoother pans with the 200 when mounted on a tripod.

About the focus motor. Is that only for manual focus lenses? Can the focus control on the gimbal work without the the focus motor for auto focus lenses?

The focus motor is for manual lens, or AF lenses if you want to do it manually, it's also for zoom lens zoom control if you wish.

Hi Chris - do you know if the RS3 works with the Sony A7iv? And if so, would the 24-70 gm2 on it fit well? I just had to return the Manfrotto MVG220 as it was too big... which is why I was thinking I may need the Pro rather than just the RS3...
