In this video I answer 4 of the most common questions about the DJI RS 3 Mini. What weight can the DJI RS3 Mini handle? Can the DJI RS 3 Mini take Peak Design plates? What Nato attachments can we use on the DJI RS3 Mini? Does RavenEye work on the DJI RS 3 Mini? Are there any alternatives to using RavenEye on the DJI RS3 Mini??

UPDATE, UPDATE - The Pgytech plate from the MantisPod v1 and MantisPod v2 work, they are a little tight... BUT they work!!
BRILLIANT!
It is! I have no idea where my brain was today, the MantisPod is my goto mini vlogging tripod and I didn’t even try it till after the video as someone mentioned it works 😂
@@PhillipSkraba I have the mantispod as well and tried the regular PGYTech quick release plate and was bummed it didn't work...then I saw this comment and dug through my random box of accessories and found the plate for the mantispod, and low & behold, it works! ! Great discovery, didn't know they would be different sizes.
@@krisco Me neither, I tried the Pgytech, nah didn't work, but I got a comment that I was wrong about the Pgytech plate, so I tried mine again, nope didn't work, but the one of the MantisPod did, so Pgytech win!
Small rig sell an alternative that works with arca swiss plates inc the peak design. It's called "SmallRig Arca-Swiss Mount Plate for DJI RS 3 Mini 4195" I've just ordered it.
Thx man!! Been watching lots of reviews about the rs3 mini, none answered my questions but you took care of’em all in one single video, fantastic job!!!
You're welcome, glad you found what you were looking for!
And one single take. Nice job. Smooth and a pleasure to watch. Exactly what I wanted to know.
Tonnes of valuable info in this video!! Appreciate it!
You're welcome, thank You!
what a nice tutorial my man , all information needed in one video , Thanks a lot
Thank You! I'm happy it's appealing to so many people.
Very useful info! Thanks a lot! Can’t wait to film with the RS3 Mini!
You're welcome, thank You! You'll love it!
Philip, thank you for such an informative, in-depth video. You just saved me a load of money! I’ve only just got my RS3 mini and I’m in the transition from DSLR to Mirrorless so using the Nikon FTZ adapter with my old F mount Nikon lenses on a Z6ii. I hadn’t even attempted using my Nikkor 14-24 f2.8 on the RS3 Mini as its a beast, but I love it for architectural interiors and I want to make more videos. It never even occurred to me to even try to use it until I came across this tutorial and WOW!!! you hint about removing the eyepiece was the clincher 😂. Well done and my family thanks you for keeping me out of debt 😊
I just got mine yesterday and I really love it. So Compact!
Most informative video of them all out there! No bullshit!!! Keep up the good work! 🙂
Thank You! I like doing these sometimes, it breaks the system haha!
Helpful information, thanks!
Thank You Man for this movie and important informations about this gimbal!
You’re welcome!
Great job 👍 thanks for this awesome information, just exactly what I was looking for, can't wait for my gimbal arrive.
You're welcome, thank you! I'm sure you're going to love it, it's great!
Thanks for the information on the handle and monitor!
Happy to help!
I’m loving this mini version of the RS3! That level of portability and affordability, yet getting same pro level shots. Clicking the checkout button!!!
I'm loving it too!! It's an excellent little gimbal, and it can handle so much! If you're looking for a link you can find one in the description below 🤜🏻🤛🏻
the rs3 mini cannot do sideways shoot. The gimbal stop balancing and fold and then the camera hit severely the gimbal. Motor are not strong enough. No wonder why youtubers don’t show pov shooting. They hide the truth you cannot go sideways. Only one reviewer on the multiple reviews did show it. And now we can read it in feedback of buyers. Try to incline a bit the gimbal on the side.
@@CC-gt3ro sideway shoot means vertical mode that you are referring to?
@@CC-gt3ro I am really curious. can you talk to me in detail Pls . Thanx
@ravibandari2866 no when you move tbe camera in yaw axis ...ie sideways
So many good ideas here. Thanks!
Thank You!
Great video and very informative, thank you.
Thank You, I’m glad you liked it!
That’s for the build examples. I looked around a bunch and couldn’t find anything like this. Means a lot.
You're welcome, glad I could help!
Thanks for all your help and guidance much appreciated, hoping to get my gimbal tomorrow with the accessories you have recommended,
You're welcome! I'm sure you're going to love it!
Awesome, great and very detailed.
Thank You Luis!
You are one of the most helpful tech youtubers!
Thank You very much! I’m glad you think so.
Just got my mini, it's honestly the perfect size. I also have the RS3, RS3 Pro, RSC-2, Original Ronin, Crane M2, Crane M2S, and the Crane M3. The mini is my favorite for run and gun / travel. I don't think anyone needs the RS3 Pro unless they are using a C300 or a massive built out FX3 etc. Admittedly I do have a problem with buying gimbals, as the original Ronin still does almost everything I need. But being an American you know how we love to be gluttonous!! 🤣🤣🤣
😂 so true!!
I want to buy my first gimbal, but I’m not sure which one to get. Should I go for the new mini? I have an A7IV and a 55mm and a 17-28 atm!
@@Sayject It depends on how you plan to use it and your budget, if it’s for travel and size really matters, or you only plan to use it for simple tasks I would say the mini is a good choice. But if you want more versatility, options, and plan on using it for long periods in more challenging conditions, then the RS3 would be better, I would not recommend the RS3 Pro unless you use it for commercial work or very heavy setups.
@@PrestonGladd thanks for responding to me man!
I plan to use it for getting close-ups of products and maybe some commercial work in the future but not doing commercial work is my main job. It’s more of a side, I asked because I’m able to get the RS3 for just $60 more than the mini used and was wondering if it was worth the upgrade or stick to the mini.
@@Sayject I would definitely get the RS3 for that price. Overall I think you will be happier with the RS3 vs. the mini.
Love it haha, I'm gimbal crazy too!
Great video matey! 💪
Thank You!
Thanks a ton man ! This was really helpful. Now I am convinced to get a gimbal for myself finally and this will be it. it fits my budget. :)
The RS 3 Mini isn't for everyone, but in my opinion it's a great little gimbal that can handle quite a lot. If you need video transmission or focus motors you'd need to go with a higher model though.
@@PhillipSkraba I see. Thanks a lot. Actually I am into automotive stuff and here in India mostly I shoot on bumpy surfaces sitting on the back of a motorcycle shooting other motorcycles/cars or sometimes in a car. I am just having doubts if it will be able to handle all that shake or not. This will be the first gimble I am gonna get. So I need to be double sure before buying. I don't have any knowledge about the transmission thingy or the focus thingy you're talking about but I guess they can neglected in the beginning stage right ?😅🫣
Mine arrives Sunday, so thanks for the insight. Good things to know before I use mine.
You're going to love it Allen! It's an excellent mini gimbal, and a pretty damn powerful one at that 🔥
@PhillipSkraba I have the Ronin S, but rarely used it because of it's weight, so I'm very much looking forward to this one.
I have the Ronin S too, it was my first electronic gimbal, and I used it a LOT, but this is a totally different level in power and smoothness, and of course it weighs less than half of the DJI Ronin S.
Awesome information....thanks
You're welcome!
looks good mate, hope one day to afford something like this. Thank you for the talk, it's gave me a confidence boost and I hope you get to do some shots in Scotland and the isle of skye soon! We are now looking at the places in Poland you suggested
It's pretty damn awesome for a travel gimbal, keep that in mind! Poland is great, like I said in the summer haha, and it's pretty well priced coming from the UK! My friend @DanUnplanned has done a few videos on Poland!
@@PhillipSkraba will save up for one for sure. I love that lens as well, makes the shot very calm. Just checking everything before uploading my Isle of Skye video. I’ve put a lot of effort into this. My 3rd attempt at video editing but da Vinci resolve is quite hard with the nodes so that’s what I’m going to try to master but I’m super chuffed! Would love a pint with you one day if we’re near in Poland 🇵🇱 🍺
Maybe add some talking head to explain why you shot it, how you shot it and your experiences. If you're here drop me a DM.
@@PhillipSkraba I’ve already uploaded it now bro. Put as much details in as I could with # etc and changed my thumbnail style. Just wasn’t sure what category to put in so I put entertainment. The next video I do I will add my face and voice for sure. Appreciate the advice mate ❤️
This is exactly the video i was looking for before i bought the mini. Thank you. I wanted to use my ninja 5
I'm glad you found it in that case! Me, too, Ninja on this is great!
Pretty impressive for a gimbal this compact. Tempted to get the RS3 Mini!
It is very, very impressive! More videos coming.
You said in the beginning of the video that the DJI Action 3 was balanced, but you're supposed to balance it so that it does not move anywhere when you rotate it, it is not supposed to come back to the centre. Great video!
I also encountered the same problem with my Peak Design plates. Tried adjusting the locking lever in hopes it would fit but no luck. Good to know that the DJI plate will fit the PD capture clip though. Thanks for the video
Yes, I tried everything but no luck. The Pgytech MantisPod plate works, but not the Pgytech Beetle Clip which looks identical, odd stuff. Yes, the DJI will fit and lock into the PD Clip.
@@PhillipSkraba man. I do wonder if a streamline workflow exists for traveling with a peak design tripod, capture clips and dji rs3 mini, or dji rs3. Because the DJI plate might work in the clip, but I'm sure it wont work on the tripod.
Managed to get Ulanzi F38 plates to work by using an F38 quick release baseplate and a bit of gaffer tape on the edge to thicken up the surface edge enough for the lever to clamp on to it. Then using the F38 plate to dock into that. A little sketchy since you can't use the locking pin so it sits off center a bit, but good in a pinch or while waiting for Ulanzi to make a native mount for it. From my testing it sits extremely tight and wouldn't come off despite me trying to gorilla pull it off.
I tried tightening the screw to pull the clamp in closer but it was still loose, so put the F38 back lol. I am happy that the DJI plate at least fits in the PD Clip!
Hi, excellent video full of good idea. A big hello from France. Thank you to you and good luck.
Hi, thank You! I'm glad you liked it, ohh, I'm in Grasse in June, can't wait, love France!
@@PhillipSkraba Cool, I'm in Provence, you're welcome at home whenever you want to make local films
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!
That was great! Thank you. What filter are you using on the camera? Thank you!
Other option is to use force mobile if you can put the gimbal down or you have someone to hold it for you etc. Cool vid
Force mobile is great when you dial it in, I’ve used it on cars a lot.
omg that fpv mode how it tilts from side to side like glide cam to me is the best feature ever lol
Doesnt most gimbal have fpv mode ?
The fpv mode is great! It’s super smooth on this gimbal 🤘🏻
Do most gimbals have an fpv mode, well not all, but most, mind you, quite a few are just not powerful enough to handle the weight in a smooth way for the fpv movements to be perfect.
@@PhillipSkraba fair observation
Thank you. if I also want to take some photos in addition to the video, do I have to disassemble the camera from the gimbal to get good photographs ? Can the gimbal be used to take pictures ? or only for videos?
This time the end wasn't as energetic as the last video, but still very authentic and nice.
Very good and informative video and by far one of the best on TH-cam about this gimbal, especially for responding to questions from your community. DJI should sponsor you.
I also have a question, maybe you can answer it in another video or as a comment. Can the gimbal also be used with an iPhone so that it replaces the DJI OM 6?
Thank You, yes, this was just a questions answered video. I haven’t tried an iPhone, but I will today!!
Update - it works with my iPhone 12 Pro Max, I just added a story to my Instagram to demonstrate. Hope that helps!
Sorry, this is out of topic. But hoping you can guide me. I m going to do drone photography on the Scottish highlands in June. Do you reckon i buy the ND4+ND8+ND16+CPL or ND8/PL+ND16/PL+ND32/PL+ND64/PL filters? Thanks much.
Such a nice gimbal combine with 24-70 gm ii
Yes, I agree!
thankk youuu phillipppp
You’re welcome!
Hey , great video man. I always wanted to know its limits. Anyuway i wanted to mention that monitor+ is a free app thats way better then imaging edge :D
I think the problem with attaching the microphone like that is if you point the gimbal downwards (undersling), the mic points towards the ground.
Yes, you'd need to twist it back up if your in underslung mode, best way would be a wireless mic system like the DJI Mic.
this is the definitive review of the gimbal
haha thanks!
Awesome video
Thanks!
Hi Phillip, nice video, can you tell what phone mounts will work with this, specific to the iPhone 14 pro max, and what additional clamps we will need, if any. Thanks
Hi, thanks! It's the DJI phone mount I use, there is only one and it does a really good job. It's this one - amzn.to/3w33uqQ
Hej, zastanawiam się czy kupić rs3 mini czy standardowy do zestawu sony a74 +sigma 24-70 (jeszcze uzywam sigmy 50mm) ? tylko fajnie by bylo jakbym mial plytke acra ktora moge przepiac pod zwykly statyw :D a tutaj slyszalem ze niby w tym normalym rs3 ta plytka jest normalnych rozmiarów acra. Ciekaw jestem czy mozna uzywac samego aparatu na smallrigu lub L brakecie od nich bez tych plytek :D
This is really helpful - I just bought this gimbal and your video is the first one to lay it informatively. So - here's a question - have you tried putting a phone on it? I often shoot with my phone and the Movi Gimbal but had hoped to use the RS3mini. I tried and the balancing just screams at me! I'd love to see your set up.
Oh - and which monitor is that?
what is the bracket that attaches the action 3 to the rs3 mini?
big help, thanx! wonder if the canon r6 mark ii with the RF 24-105MM F/4L IS USM will fit...
was wondering about the plate, thanks
You’re welcome! Pgytech Mantispod plate works 👌🏻 Odd that my Beetle Clip does not.
Great video! Does this handle the weight with your sony camera with a cage on and a lens? Thanks!
It can, but I take mine off most of the time to not stress it out depending on the lens.
Thank you for the video. Does this stabilizer have an active tracking function?
No, I'm afraid not.
What monitor are you using and how is it connected to the camera? Thanks for your video
I use various ones, usually the small Godox one or an Accsoon system with my iPhone wirelessly.
would you recommend my Sony a7iii with a 24-105 lens for the dji rs3 mini? will it have problems because its to heavy or to big maybe? or does it fit perfect?
Thanks so much for this video! I’m an avid PD user too and I’m always wondering if QR plates work with it.
I love PD too, so it's a shame they don't work, BUT the DJI plate works in the PD Clip, it slides in, and locks, it's a tiny bit loose but won't come out until you unlock it.
@@PhillipSkraba That definitely works.
The official payload is even 2.1 kg. In your case, it wasn't all that easy because the weight was distributed so "wrongly": A very heavy lens and a very light camera. If the weight distribution was reversed, the camera on the dji monitor would have been green for sure the whole time.
this is a very useful video! unlike others talked the same thing over and over, you gave us all the quick release system (pd ulanzi and pgy) i am thinking to sell all my ulanzi now and go back pd system now... gimbal side. i still don't know if i need to update this from weebill s since 24-105 is my main lens.
Thank You! This has no problems with the big zooms, I find it very, very stable.
exactly the same situation i have an A7S3 with a 24-105 as a main lens with my weebill s , still dont know if its deserve to upgrade to RS3 mini or RS3
The RS 3 will handle that setup no problem at all, it’s only 663g, so a lot lighter than the 24-70GM.
Very nice 👍❤️
Thanks
I think you are wrong for mentioning the plate. It is because I got the PGY plate (from mantispod) and it well fit for DJI RS3 mini.
Yes, you are 100% correct. My plate from the Pgytech Beetle Clip does not work, however, I just tested the Pgytech MantisPod v1 and MantisPod v2, and it works, tight as hell, but it works. THANKS for the heads up!
What is everybody use for storage? My phone is always stamp packed with photos and I can't upload or download fast enough.
What adapter to use to mount your action 3 camera on the rs3 mini? I have an insta 360 ace pro camera.
Well, any adapter with a 1/4 20" really, that works fine. Mind you, an Action 3 on the RS 3 Mini? That's wild!
Just found this other video of yours. I should've watched this before commenting on the other one haha.
Time to figure out how to attach a Rode Videomic Go II on this thing.
I'll be making a few more on the RS 3 Mini, it's quickly becoming a favourite of mine.
@@PhillipSkraba heck ya! I'll watch them all!
@@poiisondn haha, thanks!
Nice video Philip, very informative 😉 I have a question here...I am looking for a travel gimbal for my Nikon Z8 with the 24-120 f/4 . Considering that the total weight is well below 2kg, do you thing or have any experience about this setup on the mini? Do you think it will be able to handle it? Thanks a lot 😊
It shouldn't be a problem at all, as you saw, I was maxed out at 2kg and it handled it perfectly. Your setup will be fine.
Great video Phillip
Thanks Kyle!
is there a SmallRig Quick Release Plate with Arca-Swiss that can be used on the rs3 mini?
I want use the PeakDesign plate on my camera for several reasons
I have no idea about the SmallRig plate. The PD won't work, but the DJI plate will go into the Peak Design Clip v3, as I've tested it, it slides in and locks. It's a little loose compared to the PD, but it won't fall out.
Great video, great info ! Is the microphone wireless? If not shouldn't it be on the camera ? Thank you
It's not wireless, no, you can connect a cable to it, it doesn't have to be on the camera, or you could connect Rode GO to it or DJI Mic to make it wireless. Thanks!
But the camera won't be able to operate freely if thers a microphone connected from the arm to the camera!
Keep focus control on gimbal and use app for monitor??
I find I feel best with the Sony app connected and that keeps me nice and lightweight.
Hi. I think you have made the final review of this mini. This is the best review on the net about this new gimbal. Thank you so much for this. May I ask do you think it can handle an r5 with rf 24-105 f4 with no problem at all? Or maybe the motor will be over stressed in some movements? Thanks a lot.
I’ll be doing more videos with it as it’s a really great gimbal! I think it should be able to handle it, if it can handle the 1.4kg Irix it should handle the 700g 24-105 f4 👌🏻 The Sony 24-70GM is 200g heavier and it handles it with zero problems at all.
@@PhillipSkraba thank you for answering. Really appreciated.
Anytime!
thank you so much for your hands-on test .... I have just purchased the canon R6II with the kit 24-105mm zoom lens ... and it balances on the Ronin SC but there is not enough room behind ... I was wondering about the DJI RS Mini .... but it seems to have the same problem: the motors can handle the weight ... but there is not enough space and the eyecup hits the back of the gimbal ... so I wonder if it is worth upgrading from the Ronin SC to the RS Mini ....
Take off the eyecup, and use the riser to get it a 1cm higher and then push it back, it should solve the problem.
RavenEye should work, as long as you find a good solution to stick it to the camera without blocking it's movement, it works with any hdmi-out as long as you connect it with the Ronin app...maybe some remote control functions or auto tracking don't work but for it's main purpose it should, I tried it with multiple camera brands, even non camera related applications.
What I am curious is if the RS3 mini has the remote tilt pan for the phone...would be a great cheap solution for a modular remote ptz for events, especially if you can connect the gamepad like on the bigger models.

1st thanks for your nice and amazing videos..
I am using my setup for dental shooting , but I want to dive through vediography , want to do artistic dental vediography.
.
So I want to ask if the dji 3 mini will handle my setup
.
That's my current setup , Canon eosR with Canon macro lens 100mm RF .
Also, I want to ask if can I fix led light on the cam. Or the gimbal while vediography
.
I will be mainly shooting faces , smiles & and teeth, so I need very sharp results & want to get all the fine details of the teeth , And sure, i want to shoot with 4K, but it's extremely difficult because of the crop broblem , i was thinking about
14 - 35 RF , or the 24 - 70 RF .. SO what do u recommend & if there is a better option.
Regading light, i had a pair of the Godox M1 RGB Mini , but I don't know how will it be the result yet .. what do you think ??
And how can I fix the light on the
dji mini rs3
Sorry for the long question.
Thanks & best regards
I use the Lumix S5 along with 20-60 kit lens and 85mm prime, I plan on shooting a lot travel stuff and some commercial industrial shoots. Should I get this or the RS3?
It weights 714g, so with either lens you'll be fine, I would go for it! If you need a link you can find one in the description 🤜🏻🤛🏻
thanks for the info…quick question can i use the canon r10 with the rs3 mini
I don't personally own one, but seeing it weights 382g, add a lens, yep, you should be fine. I've had the Action 3 on it, and I even put my iPhone on it and it worked fine, so sure, that should work no problems.
Would it be possible to attatch the PGY baseplate on top of the plate that comes with camera and the then use a PGY quick release plate on the camera?
Lost lol. The Pgytech plates work and don't work, it's like a roulette.
@@PhillipSkraba Sorry, I mean, the base plate and plate that the DJI comes with. Would I be able to attatch a PGY quickrelease baseplate on top of the DJI plate attatched to its own baseplate and then a PGY quickrelease plate on to the camera and then ultimately the camera will sit a big higher on the gimbal than attatching directly to the DJI plate.
Hi will the gimbal work with a Canon EOS 80D? As everyone keeps talking about mirrorless cameras in the promotional bumph. Thanks in advance.
Hi! It'll work just fine, if it films video and has a 1/4 20" hole at the bottom (it has both), then you'll have no problems at all. It weighs 730g, so below the 2kg limit, and with a lens it should not be much more than 1.5k in total I'm guessing, so you should be good to go!
@@PhillipSkraba Cheers for that, can link to iPad and iPhone as well so quids in hopefully, now to rob a bank as I need loads of other kit 😂🤪🤭
@@TrogART That's a sound plan to get more kit!!
Does the rs3 mini have active track?
I saw on another video that if you replace the mounting plate with Ulanzi f38 system, the f38 plates will work, except for the vertical mode.
Really? I tried mine with no luck, maybe they’re super tight like the pgytech and are a push to fit. The only ones that go in safely in my tests are the original ones.
@@PhillipSkraba no, you have to replace the original mount of rs3 mini with the one from falcam f38 mount. Search for f38 falcom crane m3 mount you will understand what I mean
Oh yep, just saw that today, seems like a solid option.
RavenEye can work as simple video-sender it self. So we just lose the tracking and remote control.
Are you able to mount and film with your smartphone like the M3 with an attachment?
I have mounted my iPhone on it, balanced it and it had zero problems.
@@PhillipSkraba Thank you for the response!! Does it come with a phone mount or what did you purchase for compatibility?
@@Leaa1111 No, no phone mount as they state it's from 400g, but my iPhone 12 Pro Max weighs 228g, and it works fine. I love pushing boundaries, and this worked out well. I use a simple cheap Manfrotto phone holder - amzn.to/3w4BP9c
Do you think I can put an older DSLR (in my case a canon eos 1300d) on it? It wont work on a zhyun Gimbal, the support told me.
If it films video, sure it will, I can put a chicken on here (under 2kg) and it will work.
@@PhillipSkraba Alright thanks ^^
Is this Sony test with IBIS or without? As IBIS could hide some jittering.
I never turn my IBIS off unless I have an actual reason to do so, this was all with IBIS.
I don’t know how it is with gimbals, but I know with tripods one should never be anywhere near their max loads. The “can” handle it, but wont have stable support. Is it the same with gimbals?
So for example if you have a 1.5kg camera would the RS3 give more stable footage? Since it has more powerful motors.
Does the mini have the super smooth mode or the RS3?
The RS3 looks like it comes with a Manfrotto plate, is that right? My video tripods are all Manfrotto plate.
Trying to decide between RS3 and mini but still haven’t found a good comparison?
If you're using a $20 tripod that's usually not a good idea, but on a Sachtler or even Manfrotto I find that's less of a problem. The DJI RS 3 Mini can handle 2kg, but it'll feel it, I feel it, it's smooth, and it works, but it's much happier with half of that weight on it. I personally don't own the RS 3, I've used it on a few occasions, both are great gimbals, it really depends on if you want a small travel gimbal or a larger gimbal with image transmission. Some people feel they need that, others don't. I will be using the RS 3 Mini most of the time, unless I need image transmission and cine lenses with a focus motor.
I use it with my Panasonic S5, mostly with the Sigma Art 24-70 attached. It works, but it's struggling sometimes.
It's definately not going to carry it like an RS3 Pro, but it does the job for a travel gimbal. I'm really happy with mine, just miss tracking.
@@PhillipSkraba It's definitely more than enough for a hobbyist like me. If only I could get the USB connection with the Panasonic to work. The instructions from DJI for the S5 are not very helpful
@@Watzleroviak1210 Yes, I know, the instructions are usually quite poor. The online manual you can download might be of more use, check it out.
@@PhillipSkraba Solved it. I didn't notice the second RSS USB-C Port on the arm, just the one one the handle 🙈
Hey Phillip! thank you for the RavenEye confirmation checked! I nearly sold my RSC2 Combo Pro for this. I am in dilemma right now to sell or not to sell, cos I will be flying off to Japan in May for vlogging.
From what I’m seeing no tracking, no RavenEye, and I don’t think DJI will add it, it would compromise RS 3 sales… and there is no place to attach the RavenEye except for on the hotshoe which would impair its ability to go into underslung mode. For vlogging, it’s amazing, lightweight, small, no doubt a winner!
@@PhillipSkraba Thanks for getting back to me Phillip! What if if you have have RSC2 Pro Combo and RS3 Mini. which one will you choose?
Will you advice me to sell it and get RS3 instead?
I would go with the RS 3 Mini mainly due to it's 3rd gen stabilisation, in my opinion if feels even smoother than my RS 2 Pro.
@@PhillipSkraba that’s a great help Phillip! Putting my RSC2 Pro Combo up for sell now. Thanks a million!
@@nelsonngu Just remember, IF you use active track, you won't have that option with the Mini. I use active track sometimes with people and cars, but to tell you the truth, I end up using manual mode a lot more as it drives me crazy when active track looses the model or car, and I loose a great shot.
How will DJ YRS 3 Mini behave with SONY A7 IV and Tamron 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III XD ?Thanks!!!
That's a 420g lens, so no problem at all.
Do you also have this issue that the RS3 Mini is vibrating and making a slight noise, almost rhythmically? Even when you use a really light setup, with the gimbal properly balanced of course. I am aware of the fact that inside a gimbal there are moving pieces and there should be some noise and vibrations but these seem different than any other gimbal.
If anybody has the same issue or if you know that is normal for it to do so please let me know.
DJI customer care seem to think that there is no issue, but they were kind and invited me to sent the gimbal to be checked. I don't know how much time that would take, I probably will return it since I bought it off of Amazon and it's only been almost two weeks I have it.
Thanks for this! Has anyone else had issues pairing this with a Sony A7IV? Doesn't seem to want to pair over BT. Have been on with support but not got anywhere.
I don't have one, but my a73, a7r3 and a7s3 all pair.
@@PhillipSkraba update: somehow got it working. Can't be sure but I think what I had to do was make sure the A7IV was NOT in the menu/pairing mode, then first start the BT pairing from the r3mini, THEN start BT pairing mode from the A7IV and it worked. Or something like that.
@@alexyorkshots I have problems with Bluetooth like that sometimes, even with simple speakers and lightbulbs. Glad to hear you got it working, great having no cables!
@@alexyorkshots would love to know how u went with A7iv as I want to buy this too as I own 24-70mm sigma and 50mm 1.8 gmaster
I got a7iv n 24-70mm art lens..can it handle for long term use?im worried about the motor system cannot handle for too long..
I've used it with my 24-70GM out and about, absolutely no problems at all.
Can iPhone 13pro max be mounted by any chance ? Do we have some attachment available?
I have mounted my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it worked, so sure, it seems so! I use a Manfrotto phone clip.
@@PhillipSkraba okay, Thank you for replying Phillip 😊
@@PhillipSkraba can you please also share the link of the product "Manfrotto phone clip"
Could people use their phones with it or is there a better product out there for Pixel phones?
Not better but cheaper ones . This is overkill for a pixel.
Maybe you can review the gimbal, what if the gimbal place on the bag, sling and backpack or whatever size bag, possibility dji rs3 with that size on the minimum space bag or compact bag. iam so curious about that, because dji rs3 born for travel videographer, or we call 1 manshow with compact setup.
sory, dji rs3 mini
You'd like me to show you what it looks like in a bag?
@@PhillipSkraba yess please if you want to do :)
Will it Handel S5 II with 24-70 2.8 sigma lens with a shotgun mic and work properly??? Please reply
It should be within the weight limit, I’d attach said mic to the side of the gimbal though.
What do you think, will it work with the new Sony 70-200 f4?
It should do, that thing is basically hollow 🔥
@@PhillipSkraba thank you
If this was released earlier, I may have bought this instead of Moza Aircross 2.
Hell yes!
Hi can I use it with sony A7iv combine with 24-70 gm ii?
You sure can do 👌🏻
Hi - i just got it today. It was working all fine however in the evening i checked again and ‚lock mode’ was not working - any idea why?
It's funny you bring that up, I don't think I've actually tried lock mode on the RS 3 Mini, I will check that out tomorrow when I get to the studio!
Thanks a lot! Have a good one;)
Just tried it, holding down the trigger will lock mine.
Thanks a lot - yeah - my bet - issue was on my end and not the gimbal;) all works perfect;)
Thanks for checking!
Anytime!
May I know what is the model no. of the small rig handle ?
Sure, just added that info in the description, hope that helps!
@@PhillipSkraba Thanks !
Bro your flip screen should be out before balancing. you flip it after the balance which will also effect the balance.
What is it with everyone calling everyone bro?! My name is Phillip, it says so on my channel name, your name is Afnish, let's keep it like that. I don't pull my screen out, and even if I do in underslung mode, it makes no difference to the motors, at all.
@@PhillipSkraba the only thing I'm afraid of is that the gimbal gets crazy sometimes and starts bashing against the limiters. I'm almost ok with hitting the lens or hood but hitting the display is no no 😂 They just released an update that might fix some of those situations but unfortunately I couldn't try it bc the yaw axis failed on my RS3 Mini. Just after 3 mo.
What made you record a video with absolutely blinding light behind you ruining it entirely
Well Troy, I’ve been waiting for you to ask that question since I posted it, and you’ve taken your time. It wasn’t made to share my experiences with others on this gimbal, but to solely piss you off, and I think I did a fanfuckingtastic job at that. Amen.
Can anyone tell me If I can use a focus motor on RS3 mini ? if yes what are the options ?
Well, it would be hard, but you could use the PDMovie, it's light, it's small and it doesn't require any cables, so it does work. Any other follow focus units would be hard to use on this gimbal. I'm actually making a review of the PDMovie, I'll add a sequence where I use it on the gimbal.
Woah wait... I thought DJI said ARCA mounts worked? I am so confused. I love the down to earth review. I have a Crane M3 that I hate... so I bought this but haven't opened it yet and I'm having second thoughts... Was hoping I could pull the camera off the gimbal and snap it on my PD tripod! If not, BOOOOOO.
Well, the plate on top, the DJI plate is an Arca Swiss compatible plate, but no, none of these work... however, the Pgytech Beetle Clip won't work, at least mine work, BUT the Pgytech MantisPod v1 and MantisPod v2 plate does work, it's tight, but it works. I'm not sure IF the Pgytech plate will work in the Peak Design, I'll check that tomorrow in the studio.
