DJI PRO's Newest Products Give Creators Bold New Tools That Set Up Faster, Operate More Easily, Connect Seamlessly and Transmit for Miles
DJI RS 3, DJI RS 3 Pro, And DJI Transmission Incorporate Professional User Feedback to Offer Highly Effective, Reliable, and Efficient Next-Generation Video Tools
DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today unveils three new tools that will enable filmmakers and the content creation community to easily, seamlessly, and intuitively bring their visions to life. The DJI RS 3 and DJI RS 3 Pro stabilizers bring landmark improvements to the classic and reliable Ronin series, while DJI Transmission - DJI's first independent wireless video solution - combines reception, monitoring, control, and recording in one. This new generation of the Ronin ecosystem allows creators to focus on what's in front of their camera by simplifying everything connected to it.
The Ronin product lineis a key part of DJI, supporting content creators from keen hobbyists to professionals around the globe. Last October's launch of Ronin 4D cemented DJI's presence in the professional filmmaking world, giving cinematographers an entirely new way to create. Whether it's the new automated axis lock system, 3rd-Gen RS stabilization algorithm improving performance by 20%, or the one-tap calibration, RS 3 and RS 3 Pro have been optimized for user efficiency and reliability.
"The needs and requirements of the content community are extremely important to us," said Paul Pan, Senior Product Line Manager at DJI. "Ever since the introduction of the first Ronin back in 2014, we've continually gained feedback from industry professionals on how we can enhance our products to cater to their evolving needs. Implementing this feedback, we've optimized the design, stabilization, and gimbal control to create next-generation, highly effective, and reliable stabilizers designed for unparalleled efficiency. Furthermore, we don't just stop at stabilization. We understand the importance of video transmission and the various pain points faced in large, complex venues. Whether it's dealing with range, lagging images, or lost signals, the new DJI Transmission addresses these issues and offers an incredible 20,000-foot on-ground transmission distance."
DJI RS 3: Ready When You Are
Every Second Counts
Lightweight Body, Heavyweight Stabilization
Weighing in at just under 1.3 kg[1](2.8 lbs), RS 3 can easily be held in one hand, while its just under 3kg (6.6lbs) tested payload capacity is more than enough to support the majority of mainstream devices.
Parameter Setting at The Touch of a Screen
In addition to its improved stability, RS 3 is also easier to configure with a brand-new 1.8-inch OLED full-color touchscreen, an increase of 80% surface area when compared to the previous RSC 2. Most gimbal setups can be done directly without connecting to the mobile app, while the UI and interface logic have been redesigned to put all controls rights at your fingertips. This includes a physicalgimbal mode switch that operators can slide to alternate between pan follow, pan and tilt follow, and FPV modesinstantly.All-Day Battery
With a brand-new battery grip providing up to 12 hours of battery life, creators can concentrate on the action without worrying about power. RS 3 features a quick-release structure and supports PD fast charging at 18 watts. The battery can be charged independently or even during use, allowingusers to operate non-stop.DJI RS 3 Pro: Nothing Out of Reach
For Those Demanding Even More
For users with higher demands, RS 3 Pro is an even more professional versionoffering a full suite of features as a versatile camera platform.
Arms constructed from one uncut piece of carbon fiber - just like Ronin 2 - makes RS 3 Prolighter and stronger than the jointed carbon fiber material used on previous stabilizers. They have also been extended to allow for more balancing space for commonly used professional cameraslike the Sony FX6, Canon C70, and RED Komodo, and the structure has been optimized to keep its weight at 1.5kg1 (3.3lbs) with an impressive 4.5kg (10lbs) tested payload capability. Naturally, the stabilizer also shares the automated axis locks,Bluetooth Shutter Button, 1.8-inch OLED touchscreen, and gimbal mode switch of RS 3.Manual Lenses, No ProblemEvolving Product Ecosystem
With its dual RSA/NATO port and battery port, RS 3 Pro can connect to various accessories such as the new Briefcase Handle, Twist Grip Dual Handle, and Tethered Control Handle, opening up a variety of shooting options.
The DJI RS SDK protocol enables third-party manufacturers and individual developers to create customized shooting solutions for RS 3 Pro to build an even richer ecosystem with more developers. Whether filming from a moving vehicle, with a jib or Steadicam, or from a cable cam or slider, RS 3 Pro provides anyone with comprehensive shooting solutions and greater creative possibilities.DJI Transmission: Vision Beyond Boundaries
Going the Distance With DJI TransmissionThe High-Bright Remote Monitor hasa built-in gyroscopic sensor that acts as a standalone motion controller for RS 3 Pro. Andwhen combined with the Ronin 4D Hand Grips, the operator of an RS 3 Pro stabilizer can control the gimbal, focus, exposure, and start/stop a recording with both hands.
As well as simultaneous access to video time codes, the High-Bright Remote Monitor allows for independent recording and playback of 1080p/60fps H.264 footage, making it easy to edit sample footage on set.
Expanding on the Ronin ecosystem, DJI Transmission works seamlessly with DJI Master Wheel and Force Pro, giving operators a variety of ways to control camera movement in the whatever way the shot demands.
Apple ProRes 4444 XQ Codec, Zenmuse X9 Extension Cable & L-Mount Alliance
DJI PROcontinues to collaborate with industry professionals while enhancing our products to cater totheir evolving needs. As of Augustthis year, Ronin 4D will support the Apple ProRes 4444 XQ codec, which is the highest-quality version of Apple ProRes for 4:4:4:4 image sources.
For these users, we are also introducing the Zenmuse X9 Extension Cable. With this addition, the Zenmuse X9 gimbal camera can be used separately from the body of Ronin 4D, helping cinematographers navigate more complex and diverse scenes while reducing approximately 80% of the weight they need to carry around, allowing for a more versatile and flexible filming experience.
As of today, DJI is officially a member of the L-Mount Alliance and has partnered with Leica to introduce the exclusive Zenmuse X9 L-Mount Unit, enabling Ronin 4D users to fit Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma L-Mount lenses onto their cameras.
