DJI RS3 Pro, RS3, Transmission, & LiDAR Review!

[@TheMediaKings]

Interesting seeing Zhiyun and DJI launching new gimbals at the exact same time and seeing all of the most amazing creators battle it out! Parker Walbeck, Bestboy Adam, MikeVisuals, James Matthews, Nabil, Taylor Cut Films all releasing videos at the same time! What a day to be alive haha

[@mrCarStyling]

The market has changed. They have release date, but they send it out to everyone before. But still just on the launching day they are allowed to publish the video. That's why everyone put it on KZbin on the same time. This is a "new" strategy since the past 1-3 years

[@WWPTV]

So this is the one I want but the 30m range on wireless control sells it for me in the WeeBill. The 20m range on raven eye is just no where close for me to make that decision.

[@TamilMediaTV]

@@mrCarStyling Thank you Intelligent. I learnt something from you today on this marketing world! 🙂

[@giordanobettifilmmaker]

When you finally buy the DJI RS2 thinking "OMG finally I have a good gimbal" and literally 20 days later the announce the RS3...bruh

[@Argail8137]

I bought my RSC2 2 days ago....bruh

[@Argail8137]

Well but tho be honest, I do think the RSC 2 is better choice if you buy the combo. Check it out on the web, the new RS3 doesnt include the reveneye or the phone holder or anything like that. Everything must be bought separetely so at the end you are spending 900+.......so I think I am going to keep my RSC2

[@bradenantrim]

Same, literally just bought mine but can’t return cause it’s been a month

[@thatcookingdude]

Right?!?! I just got my RSC 2 about a month ago. Smh literally 😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@DewyFilms]

Same here 😂

[@powellfilmmaking]

Dude! The lighting in this video is soooo clean, great job keeping it fresh, Parker!

[@v3zMedia]

I was just about to buy a RSC2. Had no clue these were dropping. Perfect timing.

[@kilikdudley]

Crane 3S has been amazing for past 2 years. One handed gimbal that carries even more weight. Love it

[@pr1sm55]

After 1 return, then the second being unable to be fixed (battery issue) I was asked to return the second one and get my money back. Crane 3S is horrible! At least from my experience. Outdated, Zhiyun doesn't care about the customers who use it and probably no firmware updates for cameras such as the R5C.

[@2ndgenentertainment]

@@pr1sm55 Never returned my Crane3s but I keep having an issue with the xaxis arm where it doesn’t want to rotate and is constantly the one that comes out of balance. Thinking imma sell it and get an RS2/3 instead. I do want to get the float as well.

[@MatthPeder]

10:14 Aw man, using the LiDAR focus unit and focusing through the monitor was one of the main things I was looking forward to. It's such a useful feature on the Ronin 4D to be able to see the focus "waveform."

[@MariusIhlar]

I agree! Was pumped for this feature!

Good price point for DJI. Another alternative that I don't think was mentioned is the Zhiyun Crane 3s. I've put a Red Raven one of those and it worked really well.

[@kilikdudley]

Huge fan of Crane 3S here, which carries even more than this RS3. Not sure why more people don’t use it, its a beast!

It’s crazy how technology in the film industry is improving! I remember watching Parker’s video of the R2 or something years ago and was super hyped to buy it

[@glasco_]

I’ve watched 3 of these videos from other creators and your by far is the best lol

[@KingsMediaZone]

@@fulltimefilmmaker oh you're being too modest. Watching your reviews is like watching a thriller/action/dramadey while being educated. No better classroom to be in then in yours.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@richiota4230]

Dear Adam, thanks for all the effort you put in your videos, I enjoy watching all of them. I've recently bought the same setup, BMPPC 6K Pro, RS3 Pro, Pictor Zoom, Tilta cage. As far as I can see, you're using only one 220gr counterweight, I am struggling to balance the whole thing as the zoom lens make the rig super front heavy. Could you explain how you manage to make it work, or possibly make a video about it? Kind regards, Rich.

[@VKallbergPhoto]

All new features aside, did you notice anything at all about the stability improvements? I wont be using Lidar, the transmission systems etc and wondering if the new algortihm in itself is worth upgrading from the RS2.

[@mathu_stans]

I like the lighting in this video. It looks professionally done.

[@get_spanked240]

While I do love my dji ronin, sadly its hard to know whether its worth upgrading when I saw many reviews done by channels like this one praising it with little negativity, only to find out that using focal lengths longer than 50 will require the camera having ibis; otherwise you get microjitters galore. Sadly not one review I saw mentioned this problem.

[@darylgabindotcom]

The gear is awesome and a great video again Parker! I've seen a number of vids on the RS3 Pro and none of them (including yours) mentioned that DJI have swapped the Record and Mode buttons around. This for me and I guess, for many others too (otherwise they wouldn't have done it), means that you no longer press the wrong button just as you are about to start recording!! If for nothing else will be the reason why I'll be upgrading from my RS2...Merry Xmas!!

[@WWPTV]

It is curious why no one actually uses camcorders on these rigs. There are way too many advantages to them to not be seen anywhere in this space. I have made a killing off of Canon Vixia G50s. Do they not work for these type of accessories?

[@thomas_weinreich]

I just bought the Zhiyun Weebil 3 but I am watching this simply because your videos are too good

[@MrVoitovici]

Ring Rig from Tilta Pro have Controller build in that allow you to control the focus pull

[@shagral]

Great review as always, Parker! Kinda feel stupid now for buying RS2 recently. Plus DJI still don't support the FX6 which is my main workhorse.

[@ajoymahato46]

Please do a series of beginners camera and gear

[@MrJgonzo23]

I was waiting for your review on this Gimbal, I just ordered it. Thank you.

[@mushmad]

Very excited with this release. I can finally go and buy myself the Ronin S.

[@m.s.5779]

Yer’ a good man, Parker! Less and less people are willing to pay for crews, so us “one man bands” thank you!

[@invi_carlos]

My three year old Ronin-S is still kicking strong. It's been through some drops and I love it. One day it may die and I'll get this or the RS5 lol. DJI is such a solid company. Very Well made products.

I find it interesting that both DJI and Zhiyun launched Gimbals on very middle of the middle month of the year. Something fitting about being perfectly balanced at the midpoint I guess 🤔⚖️

[@phucmapvlog]

I literally bought the RS2 2 weeks ago 😅

[@phucmapvlog]

…and then I watched the whole review and realized that I don’t actually need the RS3 Pro. Great review, Parker!

@@phucmapvlog Me too. Yep, same gimbal only a touch bigger and auto locking

[@phucmapvlog]

@ The auto lock is legit though

[@johnmeric492]

haahahahah as i am watching this awesome review, your own commercial pops up, I thought it was pretty funny. Great Job as always Parker

[@michelleramirez2216]

I always come to Parker’s page before I buy anything. 😁

[@soulsniper7398]

This is the type of gimbal that people like you need. However, everyone does get really eager to buy the latest gear!!

[@MrAJGemmell]

Ronin s with a canon 1 dx iii and its perfect. Add a 3rd party Z axis mechanical spring stabiliser - and i dont need to ninja walk or upgrade for a while.

[@rjmediacanada]

Wait a minute, the DJI site says it has been tested with a R5 with a 24-70mm? You say it won’t balance. If that is true I will cancel my pre order

[@FrancoAurelio]

How do you get your camera to get the surfaces to look so smooth? Like even your skin looks mad smooth. Is that the camera or a filter or is that just how smooth y'all are set up?

[@LightDive]

I'm curious about the grips. The design between the two seems the same? Other than the length. Are they interchangeable? AKA buy the RS 3 and some RS3 Pro grips and swap them on.

[@danghiepchannel]

13:09 why you put the RS2 battery on the RS3? You made a misunderstanding there bro

[@SoJesusChristMusic]

Bruh…Parker is a character. The sarcasm 😂 He said if you don’t want to use the auto lock feature and you want it to just dangle you can’t still use that option if you don’t want to use the new auto lock option 🤣 I can’t stop laughing. The way he said that with a straight face…but if you know him he’s probably thinking 🤔 I don’t know why you would want to do that…but you do still have that option 😊

[@aaronjonellhall1937]

Bought an RS2 6 months ago with all these damn upgraded accessories and 🤯 RS3 Pro....

[@godsofentropy]

After initial reviews I am convinced that RS3 Pro does not offer much more than RS2. The most interesting part for me was bluetooth control of the camera, but everything else... meh, not worth upgrading at all.

[@HamishJoy]

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?

[@andreas_triant]

So a7s3 with the kinda heavy 24-70 lens might be a problem for RS3?

[@thedude6924]

Hey Parker, nice review. I´m thinking about buying this for my main setups at events, commercials, etc. You said you wouldnt use this Setup (RS3 Pro) for quicker documentary run & gun scenarios such as Weedings, events etc. Why?

[@fatar9075]

Great video. At 2:07 you talk about the auto lock being able to be locked so the camera is facing forward and not down. Where is the setting for that? Thanks!

[@randallburgess6393]

How do you connect all the wires to the gimbal using the lidar. Apparently you can not use the lidar and the ravins eye at the same time!!!!😢 Could ypu do a video please showing each port and where each wire goes?

[@eeldsgn]

Insanely thorough and helpful yo! thank you

[@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!

[@DJ-HGLegacy]

You mentioned a larger set up was sent to you by DJI, is it a new version of the Gimbal coming out soon?

[@obiwaleakinwale3546]

[@jakekorach7591]

Really weird question do you think it’s better to buy the or a movi m15 as far and stability goes i don’t care about the different modes the rs3 pro offers I just want a work horse gimbal that is very stable

[@360vroomers]

Hi Parker. Does the LiDAR work with RS3 also? DJI's webpage says it is only compatible with RS3 Pro. Thanks in advance.

[@kingalysterianlion5542]

Hey Parker. You should check out the Ready Rig. It’s awesome! And its super affordable. Hope this helps.

[@WorldOtakuChannel]

Thank you Review! I immediately bought the RS3 Pro Combo.But I also want zhiyun new gimbal ...

[@mrCarStyling]

Stop being me! Stop buying gadgets! Get familiar with the stuff, what you already have and don't believe, that you can replace Hollywood, just because you spent ALL your earnings on the next gear. And pre-ordered an other one. Anyways: what the hack? Why you need Zhiyun, when you get soon the RS3 Pro? WTF? What's there? I mean, you don't need, but why you think, you do?

[@hugoboue]

Hey Parker, thx so much for this video. Quick question, I have a Raptor as well and I wonder if you can switch to the briefcase mode with the deported battery ? Or does the SDI cable hits the Ronin ? Many thanks in advance ! Keep up the good work !

[@hugoboue]

@@fulltimefilmmaker Thx a lot for your rely. Even with the V-Lock mounted on it and not deported ? Not sure about that thow

Do you know, or can check, if the RavenEye from RS2 works with RS3 Pro as well?

[@alpenplay5389]

[@RJdeKeizer]

What a masterful review. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@chrismcnish]

Once again Parker your reviews are spot on! Thank you!

[@Mtj622]

Thanks for the great video summing everything up!! I feel that the RS3 is a nice middle ground between the older RS2 and RSC2. The RS3 also has way more features than the RSC2 and now that it detaches from the battery grip (unlike the RSC2) it can be used with some of Tilta's new accessories. For run and gun wedding videos with my a7siii, the RS3 is going to be an amazing additon and it's very affordable.

It's normal shoot people running while sitting in a vehicle , but it's amazing to shoot vehicle when people running with a camera. How much time you have been spent in gym?

[@rhinostar3825]

i just got the rs2, should i return my rs2 to save for the rs3?

[@qiyuxuan9437]

If your camera is small enough for RSC2, and the main reason you went for RS2 is detachble battery grip, I think RS3(not pro) Is a better option.

[@PascalPayantfilms]

from the rs2 to the rs3 pro is it worth it or not really?

[@Olliepopmediahouse]

Feel like we're doing everything to set this up properly with the RS3 + Komodo. Is there an issue using an EF lens with the RF-to-EF adaptor? Looks like the focusing is working on the RS3, the lens calibrated, however the 18-35 sigma lens we have set to 24mm isn't focusing on the RED app. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@TiemFilmNho]

DJI Tiếp tục nâng cấp tính năng đỉnh quá, hóng hàng về Việt Nam trải nghiệm quá

[@skymakai]

I'm using the Tilta Ring with a Ready Rig. Yes, I look like a robot. DJI just needs to make a drone that can carry the RS2-3 and camera package on the underside. With the image transmission/control system, we'd have a fully professional drone camera system.

Do you still use glidecam? Does glidecam with vest make sense for heavy cameras against Ronin RS3 Pro?

Do you have any thoughts or more info on portrait mode? I'm having a lot of trouble finding any sort of detailed info or reviews on that mode! Thanks!

[@InFamousProductions]

love your vids bro. great review. I'm probably going for th RS3 Pro. I have a FX3 and feel that it should go on the bigger Pro gimbal.

[@chazAD33]

How many lenses can it map for autofocus? The RS2 can map 3 lenses at a time, I would love for this to be able to do 6+ so I could map a whole lens set

[@vividmotion66]

Does the Tilta wireless remote handle still work?

[@CodyScott]

Is the C70 footage for the A-roll? And is it an RF lens or sigma?

Does the LIDAR Focus Motor WORK with the RS2?

[@fanproject7837]

[@ionluxuryrealestatemediase7931]

Are you finally able to lock the pan axis so you can turn the camera without it auto panning??

[@mastercheif1989]

It would have been great if they did not create a proprietary eco-system surrounding their transmission and LIDAR focus system so that it could work without the gimbal. On multiple non-DJI systems.

[@timothyhines6220]

Does it have the three customization options for follow speed, deadband, and sensitivity like in the DJI Ronin S? I bought the DJI Ronin S2 when it came out, but I think it was missing the sensitivity setting, so I returned it (well, also because the raveneye unit was defective, but mostly because I couldn't get the same motion as on the Ronin S)

[@mirsphoto]

@1:30 correction they weigh they same at 3.3 LBS or 1.5 KGs

[@johnm1707]

Did they fix the pan drift? RS2 still has drift issues that after several balances and the auto balances it stil pan drifts even after firmware update. What about the joystick calibration? This error message shows up on the RS2 and there is no function in app or in gimbal to calibrate joystick.

[@alexlubensky]

Hey man, it's not about ninja walking. I've worked a lot with the R1 and Movi Pro and it's all about the motor strength. It's not capable of handling 4,5kg, as the RS2. I can say it right away because I own the RS2 and no matter how I've tried the 3+ kg stuff on this gimbal will look shit.

[@AVISIONMUSICTV]

Capacity is 10lbs Seats the S1H perfectly!!!

[@airsoftdemon12345678]

Cant seem to find any answer on this, when you put the gimbal into sleep mode and it goes into the locking position, is it supposed to lock in line with the rear arm (pan tilt) or lock a little offcenter about 10-15 degrees degrees it seems

[@Clemme]

I have the RSC2 and using it with my FX3. I love it! On the RSC-2 I can easily mount a magic arm + monitor. I don't see the same mount on the RS3. Am I missing something?

Probably a dumb question, but I'm in the market to buy some wireless transmitter / receiver combo for my A7S3. Can my camera still record in all of it's modes (4k 120fps for example) onto the memory cards while using a 1080p monitor? Or do you have to match the camera resolution / framerate to the monitor you're using?
