I’ve been in the camera review game for a decade and a half and while the pleasure of checking out new gear hasn’t diminished, it’s very rare for me to be truly excited about a new camera. Well, that happened two years ago with the DJI Ronin 4D release, and now we have an impressive new 8K version to check out.
DJI has announced the RS 3 Mini, an expansion of the RS 3 series of stabilizers that weighs 1.7 pounds but can carry a camera and lens weight of up to 4.4 pounds.
It seems the folks at DJI are preparing to release a new, even lighter weight Ronin gimbal for mirrorless cameras. Shown off on a new teaser page, as well as a blueprint video posted to the brand's Twitter, the new gimbal looks to be a lighter, more compact version of the current Ronin-S.
Just how well does the $2,500 DJI Ronin 3-axis handheld gimbal work to stabilize cameras? Just check out this short clip of Israeli photographer Oleg Balzanov using one upside down to hold his drink steady as he bounces around on a dance floor.
