DJI RS 5 Professional Camera Gimbal
Take professional camera stabilization further with the DJI RS 5, a lightweight commercial gimbal designed for mirrorless and compact cinema camera setups.
The RS 5 supports a tested payload of up to 3kg, making it suitable for a wide range of camera and lens combinations. DJI has also introduced 5th-generation stabilization technology, designed to improve stabilization performance while maintaining smooth camera movement.
The gimbal features 2nd-generation automated axis locks, which automatically lock the gimbal when powering off or entering sleep mode and unlock when powered on. This makes setup, transportation and storage more convenient.
For balancing, DJI has added fine-tuning knobs and Teflon-enhanced axis arms, allowing more precise balancing of heavier camera setups. A new Z-axis indicator provides visual feedback intended to help users adjust their walking technique for smoother footage.
The RS 5 supports 2nd-generation native vertical shooting, making it suitable for modern social-media formats such as Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and other vertical video platforms.
The gimbal also supports Bluetooth camera control, USB-C camera control and DJI Ronin app integration. DJI lists compatibility with functions such as Bluetooth shutter, autofocus and compatible power-zoom control depending on the camera.

10. Enhanced Intelligent Tracking
This is an important distinction for your WooCommerce listing.
The standard DJI RS 5 does not include the Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module by default.
DJI offers the tracking module separately, while it is included with the RS 5 Combo.
The optional module can track:
- People
- Vehicles
- Pets
- Other supported subjects
It can also allow framing and tracking directly from the gimbal’s touchscreen.
Therefore, for your product:
❌ Don’t write “AI Tracking Included”
unless your physical box is actually the RS 5 Combo.
11. Electronic Briefcase Handle
The same applies to the Electronic Briefcase Handle.
Standard RS 5
Not included
RS 5 Combo
Included
DJI lists the Electronic Briefcase Handle as an additional accessory available with the compatible combo.
So your product title should remain:
DJI RS 5 Professional Camera Gimbal Stabilizer
and not “RS 5 Combo.”
12. Camera Compatibility
The RS 5 is designed for a broad range of mirrorless and compact cinema camera setups.
Examples include compatible systems from:
- Canon
- Sony
- Nikon
- Panasonic
- Fujifilm
Exact compatibility depends on the camera body, lens, payload, physical dimensions and required camera-control functions.
For example, your Canon EOS R7 can be a relevant camera pairing, but customers should check DJI’s official compatibility list for their exact camera/lens combination before purchase.
13. Camera Control
Compatible cameras can be controlled through supported methods including:
Bluetooth
- Autofocus
- Start/stop recording
- Photo capture
- Compatible zoom functions
USB-C
- Camera control
- Communication with compatible cameras/accessories
DJI notes that supported functions vary by camera model.
