Filmmakers, vloggers, and content creators are constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of their videos. Stabilizers are a key tool for smooth, professional footage, and DJI is bringing you two compact solutions – the DJI RS 3 Mini and DJI RS 4 Mini. Both models offer excellent stabilization, but there are important differences between them that may influence your choice. Let’s take a closer look at them.
The DJI RS 3 Mini is lighter, weighing 795g (in vertical mode) and 850g (in horizontal mode due to the use of the Horizontal Plate). This means it is slightly more compact and better suited for longer filming.
The DJI RS 4 Mini is slightly heavier at 890g, but it still remains a portable solution. This difference is due to a more robust construction and some new improvements.
🆚 Difference: The RS 3 Mini is lighter and more suitable for long-term handheld shooting, while the RS 4 Mini offers a more durable body with better stabilization.
One of the most notable differences between these models is the stabilization algorithm.
🆚 Difference: RS 4 Mini has an improved stabilization algorithm that provides smoother footage in more challenging conditions.
Both models have a load capacity of 2 kg, which means they support a wide range of mirrorless cameras, as well as selected APS-C models.
What's new with the RS 4 Mini, however, is the support for smartphones, which can be attached using a holder and used to create content directly from the phone. This means that it can be used not only by filmmakers with professional cameras, but also by content creators who shoot on their phones.
🆚 Difference: RS 4 Mini offers wider compatibility as it also supports smartphones, making the stabilizer more versatile.
Automatic axle locks
Bluetooth control and zoom
Both models offer shutter control via Bluetooth, allowing you to start recording directly from the stabilizer.
🆚 Difference: The RS 4 Mini is more comfortable to use thanks to automatic axis locks and better zoom integration.
Both stabilizers support native vertical shooting, which is great for social media content creators.
🆚 Difference: RS 4 Mini adapts faster to vertical shooting and offers more precise balance.
🆚 Difference: RS 4 Mini has longer battery life and faster charging.
Both models feature a 1.4" color touchscreen, which allows for easy operation without the need for an app.
🆚 Difference: RS 4 Mini offers a better user interface and faster display responses.
