The new DJI RS 4 Mini Gimbal Stabilizer almost seems color-coordinated with the new Sigma BF. It is an excellent choice for almost any camera system up to 4.4 lb. Here’s looking at you Sony a7 series, FX3,  LUMIX S1RII, Canon R series, Fujifilm X series, Leica SL3-S—even with zoom lenses. 

Although missing some of the high-end features of DJI’s RS 4 Pro (10 lb payload, LiDAR focus, etc), the RS 4 Mini costs about $500 less and is extremely capable.     

The DJI RS 4 Mini is a lightweight (2 lb) gimbal stabilizer that you can operate with one hand. Sure, feel free to use two hands as well.  

The RS 4 Mini has auto-axis locks. Pan, tilt and roll automatically unlock and lock when you turn it on or off.  

Packing the RS 4 Mini into a bag or backpack is easier now that the arms fold flatter. 

RS Intelligent Tracking Module

The RS Intelligent Tracking Module is a new accessory—not only for the RS 4 Mini but for the rest of the RS 4 series as well. It lets you keep someone composed in the same area within the frame and is very helpful when performing circling or backwards facing moves. The module has a range of 32.8′. It attaches with a magnetic quick release.

Shooting Modes

• Responsive mode: for fast action, especially circling.
• Smooth follow mode: following and parallel tracking.
• Vertical view for social media.
• Upright mode: standard mode for walking or running.
• Underslung mode: low-angle and tracking shots.
• Flashlight mode: for confined spaces.
• Briefcase mode: low-angles with optional handle.

Teflon Balancing

Balancing the RS 4 Mini is a breeze thanks to Teflon coatings on the arms. The tilt arm has a fine-tuning knob for fore and aft adjustment of the camera.
