Going with the RS3 mini for my run and gun shooting. Thanks for the video and in depth expatiation.

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Great comparisons man!

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks!

[@jamesruse5895]

Thanks, Jeven. What timing...I was just about to pull the trigger on the RS 3. But the hesitation was the price. The 3 Mini is perfect for me! I appreciate the in-depth comparisons.

[@brandonleefilms-weddings]

Bluetooth only works for "record" START/STOP... Any other functions require a cable. Always love your videos, very detailed!

[@ollie.kirwan]

That's good to know!

[@explorewiththeodore]

For all your run and gun videographers. I went to europe for 5 weeks where I used the zhiyun weebil S - it didnt have the automatic rebalancing like the RS3, it also didnt have wireless connection. These 2 things are absolute GAME CHANGERS. You do not have a lot of time on trips to be constantly replugging cables or rebalancing. I was at Palace of Versaille and the security person approached me because I was just rebalancing my gimbal!! He thought I was up to no good. GET the RS3 if you can!!! The self balancing is 100% worth it and will save you so much time.

[@ProgramistaNaBudowie]

Thanks for the video Jeven! This is awesome introduction for someone who needs to pick the right gimbal. Cheers!

[@roryonabike5863]

I think that this is the best overview of the RS 3 series. It was very helpful in deciding to go with the Mini, which I'll be using primarily with a Beastgrip cage and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

[@MrFudafuda]

Jeven...just wanted to thank you for your beginner guide on the mini 2..I'm new to drones and this was so helpful...really clear and concise...moving on to filming now and will be checking out all your viids on that subject...Thanks again Rob

Interesting. But with regards to vertical shooting, my RS3 Pro can do it at the touch of a button. No need for accessories

[@KyleJess]

Hey Jeven, we're looking to get a good travel gimbal and the RS3 mini looks awesome for sure! At the same price point, we're also looking at the Crane M3 and Weebill S.... Curious to know which of the 3 you'd lean towards, and why? Thanks man, love the content! 👐

[@FerociousPancake888]

Watched this vid back when I had a little VZ-E10 and ended up buying the mini. Definitely the right decision given the camera. But now I’m rocking an FX3 on a rig so I’m back to this video and it’s time to step it up for sure. The mini can handle my FX3 with a 35mm and nothing else but she definitely struggles.

[@giacomotognoni9865]

[@samuelgais]

Which mic were you using on the shot at 1:53?

[@constitutio]

Hi Jeven may I ask which lens you use on your sony (the one with the silver filter on it) I didn't understand the spoken description about it. thanks. I like the rhythm of you video, nice voice, not too much information. all perfect. Dominic

[@ahmedmulla5673]

Thanks

[@JustinBradleyPhotographer]

Are you genuinely shooting much vertical these days? Like for reels or shorts or do you just crop it? Every time I start to shoot a landscape in vertical it breaks my heart lol. Thanks for the info. I'm going waterfall hunting Wednesday and Thursday. Interested? It's pretty close to you.

[@JevenDovey]

No I don't personally like watching vertical shorts so I don't make them. If I do then I just crop in on my horizontal content. No one cares if you have a true 4k vertical shot when consuming on a phone. Not available Wednesday but maybe Thursday.

[@jorgenudvang3507]

Not being able to fold the Mini flat while remaining balanced is a bummer, and reduces its attraction as a travel gimbal. It's when I'm travelling that I need to set it up fast, but that's also when I need it to be compact.

[@JevenDovey]

The RS3 is still a good travel gimbal that can remain balanced. I just took it to India and the size was not a problem at all. Also having 2 batteries is super helpful

[@v3zMedia]

​@@JevenDoveyfunny I'm watching this from India during a work trip.

[@ManishVyas]

Great Video jeven. One question - do you think RS3 mini can handle Sony A7s3+24-105 G OSS lens? Your feedback will help me make the right decision.

[@connorsmith5255]

I have one, and the biggest lens I was able to put on was a 24-70mm sigma

[@VIZIONONE]

@@connorsmith5255 do you think a 70-200 would work?

[@connorsmith5255]

@@VIZIONONE definitely not a 70-200. You can try but my guess is that the motors would wear out pretty quick that way. Your best bet if you’re gonna do that is to buy a RS3 or an RS3 Pro (to be on the safe side). Hope that helps

[@4purs]

I started getting into cinema lenses, so does that mean I should probably get an RS3 PRO? so I can use the focus motor to focus

[@jambononi]

Yes but really ask yourself if you nneeeeeeeddddd auto focus on your cinema lenses. Or could you just use the follow focus? Because it's very expensive and to use the lidar without the the gimbal you need an extra thingy. It's not the most elegant solution. But if you genuinely want it, then yes definitely get the pro.

[@PavelMy]

[@TaimurAliPhotography]

Can you please make a after 6 months review?

[@JevenDovey]

Here’s my review. They’re all good and I still use all 3 depending on the situation. Mini for travel, RS3 for when I can carry more gear and RS3 pro for when I build it out with all my additional gear and bigger cameras

if I want one of these for professional use such as real estate should i go with RS3 PRO vs RS3?

[@BorealisOffroad]

Very thorough video, Jeven! Just a note, the Mini has a 1.4 inch LCD screen, not OLED like the 1.8" screen on the 3 and 3 Pro. Thanks for the video. Very glad I saw DJI's teaser of the release before going with the Crane M3. Seems like DJI knew where they were missing an opportunity.

[@BrianPaul-qg7yr]

I'm curious how the mini compares to the RSC 2.

[@twistedjiji]

Great video! Quick question: Between the RS3 and RS3 Mini, which one is easier to put into a backpack? Since the RS3 can be broken down and has a removeable battery, is it easier to stash it in a smaller backpack than the Mini? Also, is there a difference in stabalization between the 2 since the RS 3 is bigger?

[@connorsmith5255]

RS3 Mini for sure

[@flyingpete]

Very useful videos. Thank you. I use a GoPro 11 on an Inkee Falcon Plus, but I find the controls are awkward and difficult to reach during shooting. For us GoPro fans, a video with a DJI RS3 mini and a GoPro would be appreciated. Thank you.

[@benpowerweddingphotographe1658]

Great video,what is the model name for the handle that you used with the RS3 Mini.

[@DrSlideit]

RS3 mini for me as a real estate agent doing property walk throughs or city vignettes... On a ZVE10 with an 11mm Sony lens. That's good enough considering I am a pro agent and not a pro videographer. At least I hope it's good enough. Go iMovie! 😅

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Gotta love Jeven! Another absolutely useful video mate, I can't thank you enough for your help and clarity of explanation. It seems that the RS3 is the best middle ground pick for me (A7siii + Sony 35mm. For zoom lenses I still prefer a hand-held rig but you never know). My question is, does the RS3 communicates with the Tilta Advanced Hand Grip although it has got cold shoes only?

[@SamCLawn]

What did you end up getting bro? I'm just about to replace my Ronin S 1, and can't decide if I want the 3 or 3 Pro.

[@nwmi23]

Thank you for your insightful review. Would you recommend the RS3 Mini over the Zhiyun Crane M3, and if so, why?

Yes. The DJI gimbals are overall better quality than Zhiyun. Always been more stable for me

@@JevenDovey Thank you for your reply!

[@gazziesukor4859]

I used to own the M3 and the motor is so weak, if it loses a bit of balance due to movements and such the whole gimbal will just collapse!! It happened a few times to me n it might damage my camera. I even tried using my Sony Xperia Pro-i smartphone on the M3 n the same thing happened and also the clearance is so snall n restricted. I end up selling it away n bought the RS3 mini, the motor is waaayyyyy stronger n i'm more than happy with it.

[@Alamini96]

In my city, I can get a used ronin mx for the price of an rs3. I've been a photographer for sometime and just starting to get into video. I'm looking for a gimbal for 2 major applications: 1. Shooting cinematic portrait video 2. Shooting cinematic car shots ( both stationary and moving ). In your video, you mention we can create the ring grip on both the rs3 and the rs3pro, which I'm guesing will be a great addition for smooth moving car shots. Please let me know if you have a suggestion here on what to go with Setup I'm going to use: sony A7C2/A7S3 with mostly wide lenses (24 1.4 / 20-40 / 24-70) but I want capability to use something like a 70-200 on occasion as well.
