DJI RS3 Mini Tutorial: Step by Step Beginner's Guide. How to balance and use

[@OttoJulian_]

Please support the channel, by giving the video a like and playing the whole video until the end :) In this video: How to setup, balance and use the DJI RS3 Mini. There are 2 features that I cut out from the video because it was getting too long. I will most likely make a separate video to cover those, but this guide will give you a good starting point to use the gimbal right away. More videos with this gimbal coming soon. Want to buy it?

can i use any C type cable for charging this gimbal

Extremely clear for a guy using a gimbal for the first time, like me! Thank you thank you 🎉

[@OttoJulian_]

Happy to help!

[@shayensley]

DJI should replace their tutorial video with this one. 🙏🏾

[@OttoJulian_]

thank you so much for your kind feedback!

[@charlie.j9969]

No they shouldn’t, this doesn’t work !!

[@OttoJulian_]

@charlie.j9969 over 100.000 views and you are the first who says that it doesn’t work.

[@BimalRanabhat007]

You are absolutely right

[@PrayerWarrior571]

Definitely this was so much easier and faster

[@momentsbyron]

Your tutorial on how to balance this gimbal is the best one, easy to understand (others, they keep on switching the angles every view seconds that makes it hard to follow 😬😂) you show it in bird's eye view (top of the gimbal) without switching the angles until it's done (easier to follow the process) 😎👍 note: don't forget to unlock all axis (after balancing it) before turning on the gimbal 🙏

[@OttoJulian_]

Glad it was helpful, and thanks for the feedback about not switching the angles. That's a thought/dilema I have sometimes with these tutorials...

[@raudi.audirs]

The angle switching in this made it take me 10x longer between 1:20-1:50

[@shayheykid]

This tutorial was exactly what I needed! The instructions were clear and the speed of the video was slow enough that I could follow along side-by-side. I feel much more confident in using my gimbal now. Thank you!

Very good description, literally was struggling before

[@OttoJulian_]

[@_theHavis]

Thanks, Otto! Please would this work for Sony a73 + 24-70mm f2.8 sigma lens?

[@ajayraww3685]

Very good question I was wondering the same question...

[@_theHavis]

@@ajayraww3685 I tried it out. It worked but I wasn’t satisfied with the operation as it was quite heavy. So I had to go for Feiyutech scorp c instead. Works good for my combination!

[@OttoJulian_]

I have the A73, but I don't have that lens so I am not 100% sure, but looking at the weight of both (around 1.5Kg), it seems that the gimbal will hold it without problems. Gimbal will hold 2Kg

[@OttoJulian_]

thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it

[@parikshitmayur5870]

Very well informative video. I've got this gimbal a month ago and watched almost every video on this gimbal on KZbin. However, you definitely dropped some new facts that no-one mentioned in theirs videos... neither did i know about thise features in my gimbal. Thanks a ton for that. Here's a request, if you could make a video on the orbit follow aspect for this gimbal. I'm not very sure how to use and how to exactly execute this feature as i don't see much changes while turning it on/off. I really want to take some badass orbit follow shots with the RS3 mini. Please help!😊

[@OttoJulian_]

Thank you so much! I have been testing that option too since I didn't feel that it was helping too much, but I think it does help a bit with the smoothness of the rotation. What I can tell you for sure is that this movement requieres some practice, getting used to and perfecting it. I love making orbit shots but I have to confess that I feel that every device behaves in a different way and sometimes it takes a few shots to get it right (unless I keep using the same device over and over)

[@parikshitmayur5870]

@@OttoJulian_ Hey thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Well you're correct about the practice aspect, even I feel it requires a certain level of pro-skill to use the shot with a pro-smoothness. Thanks again!

Thanks a lot, Otto! Are you able to slide the pan and roll sliders past the 4 cm mark? I just got a unit but looks like it only slides from 0 to 4cm even though the ruler marks reaches 5cm

[@sarahwinderweedle6548]

I so needed this video! Thank you! I have a Nikon d850 and I can’t seem to balance the tilt. The top hits the gimbal at 0. Any suggestions?

[@OttoJulian_]

were you able to balance it? your lens might be too front heavy. Once you reach 0 on the tilt arm all you can do is try to adjust the plate or position of the camera but the problem is that pushing it all the way back will probably make the camera hit the arm or the motor in the back, which is not ideal

[@StacksUrbanHarvest]

Very helpful! I'll be watching again once I unbox mine.

[@hello.alexei]

Thanks for sharing this with us. It's really appreciated. Is it turns 360° ?

[@OttoJulian_]

You are welcome! yes it does

[@DrWallman]

Do you have a video that explains how to balance the gimbal when using a zoom lens? I bought this gimbal to pair with the Sony A6600 and the Sony 350mm zoom lens. My goal is to be able to video Kiteboarder’s that will be on the water anywhere between 50-150 m away. Any other tips would be helpful. Thanks

[@OttoJulian_]

what lens is that? the 70-350mm G lens?

[@DrWallman]

Yes I have the E 4.5-6.3/70-350 G OSS zoom lens Which I think is the G lens. I set the lens at 200mm since that seemed to be in the middle of where I might be using it and tried to balance it there. I also have the 18-135 3.5-5.6 Sony lens which seems much easier to balance. Can you also recommend a starting setting for the focus and priority settings ( S,A,P & Auto) for good action video in moderate to full sun. Thanks

[@sigemix8377]

why won't the 3D 360 option work on my gimbal, as if it doesn't have the power to turn the camera, the camera is sony zv e 10?

[@OttoJulian_]

hi, not sure what's going on, if it's balanced correctly and it pans with no issues, it should spin around when you select the 360 option

Hey guys! Do you also have this issue that the RS3 Mini is vibrating and making a slight noise, almost rhythmically? even when you use a really light setup, with the gimbal properly balanced of course.

[@OttoJulian_]

to solve that you need to use the auto calibration tool as soon as you turn on the gimbal so it adjusts each of the motors. I noticed that I have to do this every time that the weight changes, specially if it's a lighter weight
