DJI RS 3 Pro
Make it all happen!
Expanding on the powerful features of the Ronin series, the DJI RS 3 Pro is an advanced; comprehensive camera expansion platform; which provides videographers with unparalleled recording options and offers coordinated shooting solutions for professional crews. Everything is possible with DJI RS 3 Pro!
PRO-GRADE DESIGN
Handling heavy equipment
The RS 3 Pro uses extended carbon fiber wishbones; to provide more balancing space for professional cameras; so it fits perfectly with such cameras; like the Sony FX6 or Canon C70 with 24-70mm F2.8 lens; expanding creative possibilities.
The new; extended lower quick-release base [1] provides a more stable camera grip; and can be used to conveniently mount a so-called lens holder; for even more secure settings.
To facilitate balancing, a fine-tuner is also connected to the tilt axis; with which moving the camera forward or backward is more accurate; can be done with millimeter accuracy. With the Teflon®-coated parts, balancing the RS 3 Pro can be done with less friction and less resistance; even when mounting heavy cameras.
Automated axle locks
RS 3 Pro makes it possible; to get to work quickly; and never miss a moment. Simply press and hold the power button; and the locks on the three axes are automatically unlocked; so you can start shooting within seconds. Press the power button once; and the axes will automatically lock and go into sleep mode. Press and hold the power button; and the RS 3 Pro automatically folds and locks its axles.
High capacity payloads
The optimized structural design of the RS 3 Pro ensures; that its weight remains the same as the RS 2; only 1.5kg (including gimbal; battery grip and dual-layer quick-release plates); while its load capacity is a robust 4.5 kg; which provides huge capacity in a light body.
Wireless camera control
Equipped with Dual-Mode Bluetooth technology, the RS 3 Pro enables efficient and reliable wireless camera control. [2] After initial Bluetooth pairing, you can control video and photo recording by simply pressing the record button on the stabilizer. The previously paired camera will automatically reconnect; so you can save time during each subsequent use.
Instant mode switching
By simply sliding the new Gimbal Mode switch, you can switch to Pan follow; Between Pan and Tilt follow and FPV modes. FPV mode selection can also be customized 3D Roll 360; in Portrait or Custom modes; so you can quickly start working after the perfect setting.
Bigger is better
The large; built-in 1;8 inch; color OLED touchscreen increases screen size by 28% compared to RS 2; making it incredibly convenient to set parameters; to check the status of recordings and select topics to follow. [3] With the redesigned user interface, all settings are more intuitive and accurate. The OLED screen also provides more brightness; like the RS 2 LCD screen; thus, outdoor display is better with lower energy consumption.
PRO-GRADE STABILIZATION
Elegant carbon fiber structure
The arms of the RS 3 Pro are layered; they are made of uncut carbon fiber plates; just like the Ronin 2. This makes it lighter and stronger; as used on RS 2; bonded carbon fiber material; which increases stiffness and reduces weight; to cope with even the most challenging filming environments.
The next evolution of RS stabilization
With the third generation of RS stabilization algorithms, the RS 3 Pro provides significantly increased stability in all usage situations. Laboratory sampling data show; that the RS 3 Pro provides 20% more stability compared to the RS 2; so it handles low-angle shots with ease; the running movement or switching between high and low positions.
Achieving super smooth results
When SuperSmooth mode is on; RS 3 Pro increases engine torque; to further improve stabilization; ensuring even more stable shots in fast-moving situations or when using 100mm focal length lenses.
PRO-GRADE FOCUSING
LiDAR support
To make focusing easier, Ronin's 4D LiDAR focusing technology is used in the RS 3 Pro. The new LiDAR rangefinder (RS) can project 43,200 ranging points within 14 meters. [4]
The built-in camera has a 30mm equivalent focal length and a 70° wide angle; which meets the focusing needs of most scenarios.
Compared with traditional focusing technology, the LiDAR focusing system does not need to rely on the surface texture of the object. This is especially useful in low-light or complex environments; in multi-subject situations; and results in exceptionally stable focus.
It supports both wide and spot modes. In wide mode, the rangefinder automatically detects the subject and follows the focus. In Spot mode, users can manually select the subject for focusing.
Brand new Focus engine
The next-generation DJI RS Focus Motor (2022) provides three times stronger torque (up to 1 Nm) and reduces audible noise by 50%. This provides a smoother focusing experience; and reduces the effect on the sound recording. It also uses a quick release mechanism; so it can be easily assembled without tools for faster use.
Cinematic autofocus
The pairing of the LiDAR range finder and the new focus motor enables film autofocus even with manual lenses. You can quickly switch between manual and autofocus by pressing the gimbal's M button once.
After manual lens calibration, multiple lens calibration profiles can be stored in the focus motor; so there is no need to recalibrate them before the next use. Certain film lenses [5] even without calibration; they can also be connected directly to the focus motor.
Users can also connect the LiDAR range finder and focus motor directly to the camera; and can be operated independently of the gimbal; enabling autofocus even with manual lenses; with an external battery. [6]
ActiveTrack Pro
Tracking in the Ronin series has never been more accurate and responsive.
The next-generation ActiveTrack Pro can read images directly from the camera built into the LiDAR rangefinder; the Ronin Image Transmitter (formerly known as the Ronin RavenEye Image Transmitter) is not required. The LiDAR range finder also includes a self-developed chip; which is the same as used by Ronin 4D; which increases the computing power of ActiveTrack Pro by more than 60 times compared to Ronin Image Transmitter ActiveTrack 3.0.
When using ActiveTrack Pro, you can monitor or frame your subject directly on the RS 3 Pro's OLED touchscreen. [7] Live view latency is reduced to just 40ms; which is 60% lower; like the Ronin transmitter; thus enabling almost real tracking; even so; if the subject is moving quickly. Thanks to the neural network accelerator, it can identify and track topics; even so; if they are many; or maybe they are further away from the camera.
PRO-GRADE VIDEO TRANSMISSION
Fast installation
The RS 3 Pro can be paired with the brand new DJI Transmission; to offer a personalized recording solution. The DJI Video Transmitter can be powered directly from the RS 3 Pro; and can be conveniently fixed at the bottom via the flash cap shoe; without additional battery; reducing the burden of manual adjustment.
Long range wireless transmission
O3 Pro Video Transmission supports a video and audio transmission range of 6 km [8] with ultra-low latency; and with automatic frequency jump to 2;4 GHz; between 5.8 GHz and DFS bands; thus providing the crew with an impressively stable and interference-free remote monitoring experience.
Coordinated recordings
DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor supports 1080p/60fps live view and one transmitter with multiple receivers. In control mode, two receivers can be used simultaneously with the RS 3 Pro gimbal; for joint control of focus and camera parameters; thus integrated purchasing; provides a monitoring and control experience.
PRO-GRADE WIRELESS CONTROL
Gimbal and focus control [9]
The high-brightness remote control monitor with Ronin 4D hand grips; paired with DJI Master Wheels or DJI Force Pro, it can precisely control the gimbal and focus.
The device also has a built-in gyro sensor; which can turn the remote monitor into a stand-alone motion controller for RS 3 Pro without additional accessories; to enable more complex camera movements from a moving vehicle or jib.
Seamless wireless camera control
If the RS 3 Pro is mounted on carriers such as; such as a jib; a cable camera or vehicle suction cup mount; the Mirror Control mode enables smooth wireless control from any point of the shoot. This mode allows direct control of the basic menu operations of Sony mirrorless cameras [5] via a remote monitor; all this without; that you should remove the camera for it.
PRO-GRADE ECOSYSTEM
Extensive expandability
With dual RSA/NATO ports and a battery port, the RS 3 Pro can be connected to various accessories; such as the Twist Grip Dual Handle; the Tethered Control Handle and the new DJI Briefcase Handle; to flexibly meet different admission requirements.
Solutions for every scenario
Using the DJI RS SDK protocol, third-party manufacturers and custom developers can now create customized solutions for the RS 3 Pro. Be it a moving vehicle; with jib or Steadicam; or filming from a cable camera or using a slider; the RS 3 Pro offers comprehensive shooting solutions and greater creative possibilities.
Ronin Image Transfer [10]
RS 3 Pro supports two official video transmission solutions. In addition to DJI Transmission, the Ronin Image Transmitter HD live image transmission; remote gimbal and camera control; ActiveTrack 3.0; It provides Force Mobile and many other features; providing integrated monitoring and control for independent videographers and smaller teams.
New briefcase handle [10]
The redesigned briefcase handle can be folded for convenient storage; and has a new ergonomic handle; to make mounting and switching to briefcase mode easier and faster. The built-in hot shoe connector and 1/4"-20 mounting holes can be used to connect external monitors to help with shooting; thus, low-angle camera movements become even more intuitive.
