Incredible tutorial - thanks Jay!
Glad you liked it and thank you very much for the super thanks Pete :) I really appreciate it!
I just bought the DJI RS3 mini gimbal. Your video is teaching me a lot about the Gimbal.
Another great video Jay. Like the sport mode on your Trek. We ride Treks.
I've watched a few and this was the most helpful. Thanks!
Having the scroll whell on the gimball set to TILT is really helpful. Much easier than always having to hit the joystick perfectly straight in order for it to not pan while you only want to tilt.
After watching like 5 tutorials, finally one that explains everything perfectly. Thanks a lot
I appreciate the kind words James :)
One of the best RS3 Mini Videos.
Thank you
Hi Jay, I just order mine and I can't wait to have it and, with your tutorial I'll be all set. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. 😎👍

What a great tutorial ! , you cover a few little things that the other tutorials leave out. They just happen to be the essential (little) things that have made all the difference and mean that I am now 100% set up and even passed the gimbals own checks with a 3 x excellent ! I will be using this new tool in a new music video, a huge thanks from The Southern Electric.
The best explanation, thank you!

Thank you 🙏🏼 🇱🇰
amazing!!!. best tutorial... unfortunately my Nikon Z 6ii is not pairing with this rs3 mini Could you please help with that... Thank you so much for your time
amazing tutorial. Subscribed :)
Thanks :)
Great video and thank you very much for sharing these tips about this gimbal just a few questions about this. There's no problems with over hearing or short recordings at all with this gimbal. Kind regards Robert. :)
Yes, incredible tutorial! Many many thanks from France! Perfectly clear: Great job! If you don't mind, I'd say your the best ;-)
Great Job!
Thanks!
Would you be able to send me the url link of your monitor screen picture? It kind of looks like a golden blue eye. Thanks man!
Hi this is a great tutorial thanks. A question would this gimbal be suitable for my Sony FDR-AX53 camcorder,thank you.
Thanks for putting together this awesome tutorial. I followed your video to set up and balance my zv-e10 on the RS3 mini that I bought a few days ago. Keep up the great work!
So can you record videos when you are walking without any shakes ? I am watching a lot videos and never seen this zv e10 not shaking .Diffent world with sony a7 iii
@@allstarbury I don’t notice any jitter when walking with the gimbal and zv-e10. Mind you I was using a Sony OSS with std stabilisation enabled.
@@KwantumKitty on this channel you have exact same video walking evenin stabikizatiom enabled dji mini 3 but still its shaking .
@@allstarbury yeah I remember another channel also reported a similar issue. Let me look at the footage I captured on a bigger screen and see if it was shaking.
@@KwantumKitty well now i know if you want not shaky image then you need to spend €€ for stabilized hardware .Meaning body with stabilization like this lumix and lens with stabilization .
i have sony a74 too, can u suggest lens for videography, currently using 28-70mm
Hey Jason, thanks for the thorough tutorial. I had trouble balancing my a73 with sigma 24-70mm but I think I got it eventually.
Great to hear and yeah that is a pretty heavy lens, so it's going to be near the threshold of what the gimbal can balance I feel like. I know it can do it, because others have shown that combo already, but it's fairly close... All the best, Jay
@@Jason_Hermann Good to hear your thoughts on that.
@@Jason_Hermann What alternative would you suggest, please?
The larger version of this gimbal which is just the DJI RS 3: geni.us/mxHA9
@@Jason_Hermann I’ll be checking that out although it’s a little out of my budget.
Thanks again, Jay.
great vid. very clearly presented. Can the bluetooth-dial control "Clear Image" since this is a digital zoom feature of the A7IV?
I'm not sure off the top of my head, but possible...
What initial balancing do you do if you use a compact camera with a zoom lens which extends ? Thanks for your video portfolio , great presentation style.
Hello, I would make sure the camera is on and zoomed to the middle of where you plan ion using it...
thanks for a great tutorial...im actually dont use gimbals new to this world...is it possible to add an arca swiss quick release plate ontop of the default dji plate? since i have it attached all day long...do you think the balance would get unbalanced?
Yeah you can do that or buy another arca swiss plate specific for the gimbal which people do as well.👍
As always awesome tutorial. such a natural lecturer! I have 1 question though - How do you set your lighting so your glasses wont reflect the studio lights :)) Do you have a tut on that? thanks Jason
Good question and I didn't do anything in particular other than have my light at a 45 degree angle from me. If you have the light to much in front it will reflect, so from where I am sitting the light is to the right about 3 feet and back about 3 feet as well. I also have it raised up a little so the bottom of the softbox is about neck height and it's aiming downward a little.
@@Jason_Hermann thanks 🙏🏻
Great tutorial! Is there a way you can lock the pan axis so that it doesn't move when you are trying to do an orbit around someone/ something? I know that you can deactivate the pan motor but then the camera remains facing the front. I want the camera to turn as I turn my wrist and just have the gimbal maintain a level horizon.With the pan motor active, it never keeps a smooth movement as you rotate the gimbal leading to jerky looking pans.
I not that good at doing orbits, but the gimbal can be configured a ton of ways along with the sensitivity. I think it's just a matter of tons of practice. You can use the Gimbal in the three different modes or lock mode, so I'm not sure if it will do what you are asking honestly?
I saw a subject tracking mode for this gimbal , I think in a Panasonic camera… hope they do it for Sony soon…
Amazing tutorial! Do you think it can handle an A7IV + 50mm f/1.2GM in vertical mode?
Thank you , and that might be pushing it depending on how fast you want to move the gimbal around. It's payload max is 4.4 pounds and vertical is a little harder for the gimbal I feel like, but I'm not 100% sure about that... I would recommend the the RS3 2 if you want to be covered 100% geni.us/hVWA
Hi well done for the great explanation on all features of this gimbal. I have both the Canon RP and R5 would this work seamlessly with either body?
I think this is a tad small for the R5, but the RP will prolly work weight wise... As far as compatibility you would need to check the documentation for specific cameras.
@@Jason_Hermann brilliant ok thanks 🙏
Have you tested with sony a6400 and sigma 30mm 1.4? Both are not ibis or oss, and need a test for this gear.
Thank you, and great video.
Not this gimbal, but my other larger one yes, and it works awesome!! This gimbal it should work even easier due to the smaller size and easier set-up process. As far as connecting to the camera, It looks like you can use the bluetooth remote option like I did in this video with my A74 and that will give you Focus, Photo, and Record, or you could use a cable and try other set-ups as shown here... www.dji.com/support/compatibility/rs-3-mini/a6400
Sir Bluetooth connectivity sony m4 with DJI rs3 mini. Tutorial video...plezzzzzz
Amazing video! Silly question after calibrating, do we lock any of axises? Or we just choose our mode?
Thanks and Choose mode, when in use all axises must be unlocked.
@@Jason_Hermann thank you so much 🙏
What about the active tracking. Does this model have active tracking? I have tried to find information about this option.
Process question: If you're an experienced videographer with the funds, do you rebalance your gimbal everytime you change lens (seems like you might miss shots since it takes time)? Or do you just buy gimabls for each camera/lens combo and balance before you got out?
I only use the gimbal for specific use cases most of the time and I use prime lenses mostly as well. So Yes, if I change lenses I will re balance, but if the lens is close in size and weight it only takes about 30seconds for me to rebalance. If it is a significantly different size lens it takes a bit longer to balance. If you are using a zoom lens you can zoom a decent amount without re-balancing and you should balance at the center of the zoom range you plan on using. Heavier duty gimbals will allow for more weight change without a re-balance as well.
Great explanation. I have coonnected my sony a7III camera to the bloototh, works fine withe the record buttom, but couldn´t make the DIAL work... (ISO, aprture) do you know if it actually works for that on Sony?
No that does not work over the bluetooth remote connection method as you can see here: www.dji.com/support/compatibility/rs-3-mini/a7m3
@@Jason_Hermann great vid. very clearly presented. on the zoom issue, I'm wondering whether the bluetooth-dial can control "Clear Image" since this is a digital zoom function?
Hey nice video, it was easy to set up this Gimbal. But my Camera has a Problem, i want to use a 20mm f1.7 on my Camera. But when i want to setup my Gymbal it always move horizontal, is there something i can do, to change it? Can i put some wheight on the front of the Camera?
Yes in these weird scenerios, you will need to add a counter weight of some sort to help balance the gimbal. I have never had to do this myself, but I have seen people do this with special set-ups.
Thank you for sharing this! I almost purchased the RSC2 based on your video from 3 years ago. But I decided to go with the RS3 instead. Since this tutorial is for the mini, Can I use this tutorial to balance the full size Ronin RS3? The video DJI has for it isn’t as thorough and detailed as yours.
Yeah it is basically the same concept, but you might have to do it a little different depending on the arm layout. Just remember to lock the motors and do them one at a time in order 1, 2, 3, and you should be fine!
@@Jason_HermannYou’re a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you so much. I followed your exact steps and I finally got it balanced! Although I did find some nuances with the balancing part through the app. The balance test in the app doesn’t go through the same cycle as in your video. Instead it just takes me to DJI video clips showing virtual steps to balance each part of the gimbal. Nevertheless, I think I got it done. You’re very much appreciated! Thank you again!
Hey bro, is it possible to use focus motor on this device? And one more thing, for instance if I use zv-1 camera, is it possible to zoom in/out by gimbal?
Sorry, but the ZV-1 is not listed as a compatible camera with this gimbal... See here: www.dji.com/support/compatibility? I'm also not sure about focus motors with this "Mini" model, because it is not coming up as an option in the accessories for this gimbal... The RS3 Pro for example has the focus rig attachment stuff as options....
@@Jason_Hermann thank you for your answer. cause I thought about buying zv-1 for this gimbal.
Great explanation ! Now I’m really confused between the rs3 mini and the rsc2 😅
The RSC2 is significantly bigger...
Nice tutorial. Had to play it on double speed though. ;)
Noted!
I have this setup as well. But I get get the timelapse to stop at the final point and stay for additional shots. I like to pan to the final position and stay. Any idea?
That is a good question and I am not sure how to do that, sorry...
No idea why I can’t orbit or pan in an arc very smoothly with this gimbal. Never had issues with any other gimbal. Can you share your follow speed, pan stiffness strength etc?
I can't do it very good either in all honesty. I think it takes a lot of practice and also those settings you mentioned can help a lot, but I have never played with them myself. I would recommend checking out some of Brandon Li"s videos www.youtube.com/@BrandonLiUnscripted/featured because his is the gimbal master in my opinion.. Here is one I watched a while back and it helped me a lot th-cam.com/video/Aggzp4FXRhA/w-d-xo.html I actually met Brandon a few months ago an he is one of the most knowledgeable people I have met in a while!
Hello.. I have lots off issue with Ronin s3 mini.. having a error code 1009 & 1005 after proper balancing.. it repeated.. please someone tell me the solyof it 😢
Awesome video, "You know what I'm saying" :D
Thanks! 😃 and yeah, that is my latest crutch phrase I need to stop saying ;) I swear as soon as I drop one phrase, a new one wedges it's way right in to my speaking without my conscious control... lol
thank you. did you test crane m3? i can't decide which to buy
I have not tested the Crane 3...
Wow 120k good job!! Btw it’s Austin
Thank you Austin 👊
My tilt adjustment is too tight on my RS3 mini, even if I fully unlocked the position lock. Poor QC. The adjustment of balance is a pain in the ass but after the first adjustment it will be much easier later.
Can you also slide off the axis that it’s attached to the handgrip? That way it’ll be even easier to dissemble it and transport in my backpack. Idk why they haven’t thought about this. They’d just need to put the same system they used for the vertical axis, that little locking button. It would be so convenient but I’m pretty sure there must be a way to take that out.
No you can't take that off..
@@Jason_Hermann there must be somehow, don’t you think? What if it needs to be repaired?
Yeah I'm sure there is some way, but nothing that they want us to do as far as I can tell...
@@Jason_Hermann I see, would you be able to measure it for me so I can check if it fits it my backpack? Height and width with the horizontal axis detached. Thank you!
Do you think it would hold and balance the Canon R6 2 with the beast 28-70 f2 lens?
No I do not. That lens is just to big and heavy for this gimbal in my opinion. You might be able to balance it, but it will be pushing the motors to hard also and will probably result in poor performance.
Hi Jason. How are you? Hope you're fine. I've got this gimbal recently. I have Sony a7 iv with kit lens. I am trying to zoom in and zoom out with dial, dial function was set zoom, but it did not work on this lens and I got a warning like 'it is not available with this lens'. then I change dial function as shutter speed, it did not work too. Am I doing something wrong ?
Doing more advanced functions is tricky and usually requires a combination of cables and camera settings. By the way, which kit lens are you talking about, because non of them for the A7IV I know of have a power zoom option? For the record all I use is the bluetooth shutter and record options, because when cables are used it locks down some of the camera functions..
@@Jason_Hermann Hello Jason,
I am using FE 3.5-5.6/28-70 OSS. Until you mention about it I didn't now what the power zoom is but I just learned it. I connect camera and gimbal via bluetooth but as you mention its about lens it seems. I am gonna get something better soon anyway. I will make sure it works properly with gimbal. Thank you for respond. I am watching most of your videos and recommending them. Keep teaching, Have a good one.
