DJI RS 4 Mini: Roll with it
DJI has recently unveiled the RS 4 Mini, a compact and lightweight gimbal designed to meet the evolving needs of content creators and independent videographers. Building upon the success of its predecessor, the RS 3 Mini, this new addition to the Ronin series offers enhanced features and improved performance, making it an indispensable tool for capturing smooth and professional-quality footage.
Key Features of the DJI RS 4 Mini
Compact and Lightweight Design
Weighing approximately 890 grams (about 2 pounds), the RS 4 Mini is engineered for portability without compromising on performance. Its sleek design ensures that creators can easily transport and handle the gimbal during extended shooting sessions. Despite its lightweight build, it supports a payload capacity of up to 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds), accommodating a wide range of mirrorless cameras and even smartphones with the appropriate accessories.
Advanced Stabilization with 4th-Generation Algorithm
At the heart of the RS 4 Mini is DJI’s 4th-generation stabilization algorithm, which delivers exceptional stability across all three axes. This technology effectively minimizes unwanted movements, ensuring that footage remains smooth and steady, even during dynamic shots. Whether capturing fast-paced action or subtle camera movements, the RS 4 Mini maintains consistent performance.
Intelligent Tracking Module
One of the standout features of the RS 4 Mini is the optional RS Intelligent Tracking Module. This accessory attaches seamlessly to the gimbal and utilizes AI-powered subject tracking to autonomously follow and keep a moving subject in frame. This functionality is particularly beneficial for solo creators, allowing them to focus on their performance while the gimbal handles the framing. The module can track subjects from a distance of up to 10 meters and can be activated via simple hand gestures, offering a hands-free shooting experience.
Enhanced Battery Performance
The RS 4 Mini boasts an impressive battery life, offering up to 13 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. This extended runtime ensures that creators can undertake lengthy shooting sessions without frequent interruptions. Additionally, the gimbal supports fast charging, with a 30-minute charge providing approximately 5 hours of usage, allowing for quick top-ups between shoots.
User-Friendly Design and Features
Designed with user convenience in mind, the RS 4 Mini incorporates several features to streamline the shooting process:
-
Automated Axis Locks: The gimbal features second-generation automated axis locks that engage and disengage with the power button, facilitating quick setup and teardown.
-
Teflonâ„¢ Enhanced Balancing: The inclusion of Teflon-coated components ensures smoother balancing adjustments, reducing friction and allowing for precise camera positioning.
-
Responsive Follow Mode: This mode enhances the gimbal’s responsiveness to rapid movements, making it ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects with ease.
-
Faster Vertical Switching: Transitioning between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations is more efficient, catering to the growing demand for vertical content on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
Versatility for Various Shooting Scenarios
The RS 4 Mini’s versatility extends to its compatibility with both cameras and smartphones. With the appropriate accessories, users can easily switch between devices, making it a flexible tool for various shooting scenarios. Whether capturing cinematic footage with a mirrorless camera or shooting spontaneous content with a smartphone, the RS 4 Mini adapts to the creator’s needs.
