Description
DJI Ronin RS 2 Gimbal
The DJI RS 2 is a next-generation follow-up to the popular Ronin-S gimbal. It offers a payload capacity of 4.5 kg (10 lb) while being 25% lighter and more compact than its predecessor. DJI achieved this through carbon fibre axis arms, a shorter grip handle, and a smaller battery cartridge. Despite the reduced size, the gimbal maintains a 12-hour runtime, giving you all-day shooting capability. In addition, the motors are 20% more powerful, allowing you to stabilise larger cameras such as the Blackmagic Pocket 6K, Canon 1D X Mark III, and Sony a7S III.
Touchscreen and Intuitive Controls
The RS 2 features a 1.4″ full-colour LCD touchscreen. This allows you to quickly adjust gimbal settings and access creative features like time-lapse, hyper-lapse, and advanced motion modes. Moreover, the touchscreen improves workflow efficiency, letting operators make precise adjustments on the fly.
Smooth Stabilisation and SuperSmooth
Using the DJI Titan stabilisation algorithm, the RS 2 delivers fluid, professional-quality footage. In addition, the SuperSmooth feature compensates for micro-movements when using lenses up to 100mm. As a result, shots remain stable even in challenging conditions or during dynamic movements.
RSA Ports and Accessory Support
The gimbal includes two RSA ports with electrical contacts for dedicated accessories. Each port also has a NATO mount for quick-release attachment. Supported accessories include the focus wheel, twist-grip dual handle, and universal mount. Consequently, you can easily attach the RS 2 to jibs, sliders, or even cars for creative camera movement.
Advanced Creative Features
The Ronin iOS/Android app adds creative functionality such as Time Tunnel, which combines roll motion with hyper-lapse, and Track, which enables repeatable camera movements. Force Mobile lets the gimbal follow your smartphone movements, while the optional DJI RavenEye 1080p system provides live monitoring directly on the RS 2 touchscreen.
Camera Mounting and Balancing
The RS 2 uses a dual-layer Manfrotto + Arca-Swiss mounting system with removable quick-release plates. Portrait mode conversion is simple, with one tap of a button. Each axis features a lock for efficient one-axis balancing, while fine-tune knobs ensure precise calibration and optimal stability.
Battery, Charging, and Portability
Powered by a removable BG30 battery cartridge, the gimbal runs for up to 12 hours. The battery can recharge via USB Type-C while attached or independently. Supporting PD and QC 2.0 protocols, it reaches fast charging in approximately 1.5 hours, reducing downtime between shoots.
The RS 2 comes with a splash-proof carry case and dedicated compartments for the gimbal and accessories. A mini tripod attaches to the 1/4″-20 thread on the handle, doubling as a stand or extension handle for two-handed operation. This improves stability and versatility on set.
Why Choose the DJI RS 2
Ultimately, the DJI RS 2 is a lightweight, powerful, and highly versatile gimbal. It combines professional stabilisation, intuitive controls, advanced creative modes, and accessory flexibility. Therefore, whether you’re shooting feature films, documentaries, commercials, or run-and-gun productions, the RS 2 provides reliable, cinematic results every time.
