@IVIichal-hu6jp the weight is the camera and lens combo - not the gimbal

[@stephanlewis]

can I use an iPhone 15 Pro on this gimbal DJI RS4 PRO

[@retrogames9305]

Thanks for the video! Finally, I saw an ADEQUATE!!! comparison in stabilization, finally at least someone guessed to take two gimbals in two hands and take off the same thing at once, where it is now clearly visible how stabilization works for different models. I REALLY HOPE 🙏 that you will do the same in comparison with RS3 and RS4, so that it is clear, is there at least some difference in stabilization???! With the output of RS 3, DJI announced an improvement in stabilization by 20% (of course, there is no way to check this). With the release of RS 4, DJI announced only that the algorithms of the 4th version are now working there 🧐

[@AllThingsFilm1]

One of the key features of the RS4 for me is the Teflon coating. The one thing so frustrating about balancing gimbals is the stickiness of the material making it hard to slide the difference axis into position when making adjustments. If I were to get a gimbal again, it would probably be the RS4. Thanks for another excellent review.

[@markshirley01]

won't the teflon just wear off tho

[@groupups11]

@@markshirley01 This either has to be a joke or a compulsive opposing view, rockets are teflon coated for a reason, their stubborn nature against extreme heat and cold harsh conditions. Wear off at a gadget level is extreme minimal and if at all any its bound with any other sturdy gadgets over the course of long term usage.

Had the rs3 but bought the mini a while back and my a7iv and sigma 24-70 have been on it ever since with zero problems. Such a good gimbal and unless your running bigger lenses, get the mini

[@wotiluv]

so true, I cant even run it with my FX3 and Sigma lens it's too big it won't stay balanced but a smaller sony prime is perfect for it

Thankyou So much for this video and more videos on your channel. I've seen almost all the video and they helped me lot for my content creation journey. I also bought A6700 just because of your video.

[@gilles675]

Great video. Straight to the point & no click bate. Thank you

[@darkcell06]

I recently bought the RS4, and just did a video gig tonight and found something you should probably check. The little locking lever was loose even when in the lock position for the tilt axis. Which, inevitably made the gimbal, go out of balance, because it was sliding out of place and kept shutting off, because it was so out of balance. I thought something was wrong with my gimbal. However, it just needed to be tightened up with a little star screw. If you are a professional, I would recommend checking all of these when you buy it.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Wow - nice catch. Hopefully that was a one off

[@darkcell06]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Update! I tried to screw it down to tighten the roll axis locking lever and it wouldn’t work 😒. DJI recommended sending it in so I just returned it. Bummer and I hope it’s a one off too! Thank you for commenting back.

I'm not a professional, and use camera for documentation only. Also in term of portability, RS3 Mini is a clear winner here, so I'll choose this little bad boy than RS4. Thank you for your comparison video, very informative 😊

I bought the quick release plate, excellent option! Thank you!

[@BeardedGameCollector]

Thanks for the video. Got my RS4 yesterday and I love it and a real upgrade for me. After a year, I had a few things that I didn't like so much. The constant balancing and with the Alpha 6700 + ECM M1 the mic hit the gimbal in some positions. Maybe another quick release plate would have solved the problem, but now it's too late.

[@pharaohstudiosllc]

Great review. Im glad this showed up on my youtube suggested vids. I just ordered rs4.

Excellent video, I was torn between the RS3 mini and the RS4, I'm just starting out. I just got a a6700 as my first camera because it think it will be an easy carry for vacation trips. thanks for the help.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I think the rs3 mini is the way to go for you. The RS4 is much bigger and you won't need it for your setup

[@xhenriquefps]

I mostly film by myself. Because of that, I really like the recent Feiyutech gimbals with AI tracking. I have the Feiyu mini 2 and man it works really well. It’s also very easy to use and fairly small, even with the secondary handle. I wouldn’t trade it for any other gimbal.

[@reevartang564]

How long have you been using that? It really does looks great for its price

[@xhenriquefps]

@@reevartang564 I have had it for a month or so. I don’t use it daily, and there are advantages of going with bigger gimbals, such as even stronger motors and more stable images, but this one has been working great on my ZVE10 and Viltrox 13mm setup I can’t say how long it will last, but feiyutech has been making gimbals for some time and i haven’t seen any major complaints about them

[@petersuvara]

I'll make the call first, there won't be an RS4 MINI. It will be the Pocket 3 Pro ;)

zv-e10 and RS4 here , can't balance it in vertical mode at the roll axis and the arm is fully to the left an still roll to the right...any solution ?

[@david243121]

rs4 definitely looks smoother on the "walking loosely" test. hmm... thoughts on this? Why? Is the algorithm that much better on the rs4? Is it because of the added weight = stability? Or lastly, could it be settings? My rs2 Pro looks a lot like the rs3 mini footage- lots of little movements and stuff, no matter how I change the settings.

[@azvoyager]

Bought A6700 for about six months and plan to get a gimbal. But RS4 seems like an overkill. Should I wait for RS4 Mini or there are some other choices right now?

they are honestly both fantastic. But the weebil 3 S is much cheaper and about the smoothest video you can get

[@lordofbabel]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you so much for the prompt response, Mark. To tell the truth it was also your reviews which had directed to buy the Sony ZVE-10 : ) There remained one question in my mind: I remember in one of your reviews you favored Zhiyun Crane M3s against DJI RS3 mini but later in another review I saw the mini among your equipment as a keeper. I just wondered what it was to keep it in your arsenal instead of the Zhiyun Crane M3s (?)

Excellent video (obviously). I'm still trying to figure out if I keep my Zhiyun Crane M3s, try out the Ronin RS3 mini, or try one of the other brands that have the AI follow modes like Feiyutech Scorp mini 2 or Hohem iSteady MT2.

I’m a bit of a gear head. I already have a fully rigged out RS3 Pro for my cinema cameras, but I was thinking of getting an a6700 with kit lens just for the small social media stuff. Then again, I have a Pocket 3 coming in soon. Do I even need all that other gear if all I’m using it for is social media content?

[@alternativestudio9807]

I would love to see the focus pro mount on the rs3 mini !

[@octap79]

I really dont get any of your reasoning about "paid" and "not paid" work. I believe 9 out of 10 paid users dont need the extra features of the RS4 (I mean REALLY need). A friend of mine told me that he wouldn't feel comfortable showing up at a wedding with the mini because he wouldn't look as professional. I think 99% of the people won't tell the difference if they dont see both side by side. I own an RS3 mini, and I love the size and weight benefits. (Money is not an issue at all. Both are minor expenses compared to Canon RF lenses, etc, I have been investing in for the past 2 years.)

[@shayneborden3376]

I’ve got both gimbals and have used them for paid work, and I can 100% say the extra features make a big difference. The self-locking axes are a total game changer, especially for run-and-gun projects. The higher payload capacity is a nice bonus too, plus having physical buttons to switch modes is super handy. Obviously, everyone’s needs and preferences are different, but the RS4’s quick switch between horizontal and vertical is a huge upgrade.

[@shadostorm8375]

The mini is enough for everything really. But def the rs4 has better performance. I have the mini and would love to get the rs4 for big paid projects.

[@DWebbTheOldHead]

I’m seriously leaning towards the RS3 mini, because I’m not doing videography on a professional level. My question to you is this…….if I wind up getting it, can I still leave my smallrig cage on both my ZV-E10, and my a6700? If is, what other additional accessories do I need to purchase so that my future gimbal will be compatible with both cameras? As always great video, my man. 🍻

When you are comparing the selfie shooting outdoors you are saying that your arm hurts, but below the videos RS3 mini is more heavy at 1033g than 2012 on the RS4. It's practically no different. Is this a placebo?
