My friend also bought one for his Blackmagic 6K Pocket Pro and is having similar issues. As stated before, I am not new to balancing gimbals and I am very thorough with my balancing procedure. I am finding that my Canon R5C with battery grip and zoom (such as the 15-35mm RF 2.8) is right at the edge of what the RS 3 Pro can handle at the moment. The gimbal freaks out often and requires constant recalibrations. It's doing all the usual erratic gimbal things that anyone that uses gimbal will both know and loathe. Hopefully this can all be fixed with updated firmware, but at the moment, it sure feels like the RS-3's motors are underpowered. On DJI's own product page they advertise this gimbal as being able to handle a Canon C70 with 24-70mm F2.8 lens. So I'm not sure what is happening here, since my R5C setup weighs much less than the maximum load capacity. I'm hoping that means a firmware fix will make this gimbal a bit more stable. But right now, I'm considering returning it.

I pre-ordered the rs3 pro to replace my rs2. It has slightly longer arms and an auto-locking feature. Both are useful, but I could tell something was wrong with it the first time I took it out on a shoot. I was fighting it on many shots. After careful testing I found that the follow controls have deteriorated in quality. There seems to be a secondary deadband even with deadband set to zero, and control catches suddenly past a certain threshold making subtle movements, especially stops, starts and changes in direction much more jerky than they should be and makes certain precise long lens movements that I do often much more difficult and look much worse.

DJI seems to be making the follow controls worse with every generation and I'm not sure why. The rs2 was also actually worse than the ronin-s since they removed sensitivity follow controls that allowed much more precise control and more speed without changing settings so the rs2. However it was manageable and the rs2 added so many features that I kept the rs2 anyway despite worse follow controls, but the rs3 pro hardly adds any features and it has significantly worse follow controls so it's not worth the upgrade until they hopefully fix these issues in firmware.

I had the DJI Ronin S before this. After using the original ronin S, this thing feels like a dream. I can balance the gimbal with my Sony FX3 in about 60 seconds.The auto lock feature on the motors is a game changer. Screen is extremely user friendly and easy to see. The Bluetooth connection with my fx3 works flawlessly, I have never powered on my camera and not had it connect immediately.One of my favorite features is not a feature at all, it is extremely lightweight. I was worried that the gimbal would struggle with my fully built out FX3 but it has not at all. I have had my FX3 (with a full cage) and Cine glass on the RS3 and been able to capture silky smooth footage.This gimbal is a champ, you definitely are getting way more than what you're paying for.

Having other functions on M besides lock the screen or take a photo would be great. No reason it couldn't do other things.The auto locking motors are interesting, in my unit they also make a terrible screech noise that I'm really hoping is a defect and not intentional.

Out the box it's mediocre, with setting tweaks its perfect
11 July 2022

Ok so out of the box it was worse than my weeble S by a long way, but after some setting tweaks this is the best gimbal I have ever used! and do NOT underestimate the ability to tap the power button to lock it or long-press the power button to fold it up. As a wedding filmmaker, this feature alone is a game-changer, no more gimbal freak-out when it is just sitting there somewhere left on. The micro balancing knob is a dream! The supersmooth setting calibration is other worldly. Battery life will make it through an 8 to 10-hour wedding. May get another battery handle to have on hand. The screen is big and easy to read. Would surely be a 5-star if DJI would at least put a card in the box that says TWEAK SETTING FIRST or your gimbal is going to stink lol!

Publicized features do not exist
13 January 2023

According to the Compatibility Tables published by DJI for this gimbal, you should be able to control the ISO, aperture, and shutter on Canon's R5C through the gimbal's front wheel. That's false. This publicized feature was the main reason I updated to the RS3 Pro from the RS2 Pro. The only thing the camera control cable allows you to do is start and stop recording...and that was possible with the RS2.Also, the camera freezes periodically when using the gimbal and you are required to remove the camera from the gimbal, remove the camera's battery, and re-start the camera. This is noted in the compatibility table, where it states you need to make sure the camera recording indicator is green before recording again otherwise the camera will freeze...

So fast to turn on!
13 August 2022

The 2 second turn on and auto unlock is the future. This thing is fast and it locks up tight. I just took this gimbal with the sony zv-e10 and sigma 16mm lens on 7 miles of rugged terrain in the deep woods of Maine. The whole setup was soild while hand carrying along the way and the nearly instant startup made me use it more. I have zhijun quick disconnects and havent had to rebalance for a month even though the camera has been on and off 20+ times. I am also using the ronin image transmitter that clips onto the underside of the gimbal. Using the ZV-e10 its a single wire to the camera and image transmission works great. The gimbal has plenty of muscle for my heavy lens and mic and image transmitter. It charges fast on a usb battery pack so I have had 0 issues with ... MoreThe 2 second turn on and auto unlock is the future. This thing is fast and it locks up tight.

Improvements in my opinion would be integrating the image transmitter so it isnt using the cameras video feed (build a camera in), and having better camera capability. DJIs compatibility list is crucial to look at before buying and keep in mind that if a new camera comes out, they likely wont support it as history shows. Youll need to wait for the next gimbal after you buy a new camera. This gimbal came out after my zv-e10 by like 8 months yet only has barebone support when using image transmitter or connecting via bluetooth.. no zoom for example.

According to DJI I should have sent in my second gimbal and 1 either be without a gimbal 2 buy a third gimbal. Not having a gimbal isn't an option in my professional work. I was very pleased with how B&H customer service handled the situation.

Its screen is easy to understand and to use. The physical mode switch dial is better than a menu-driven system would be. The responsiveness of the front dial, used in conjunction with the focus motor, is truly impressive. It didn't take too much practice to feel competent at balancing the gimbal. DJI's manual and online learning tools are clear and seem complete, and there are abundant helpful online materials about the gimbal. (I've yet to find any material about getting the gimbal out of inverted mode without causing the gimbal to spin wildly out of control.) So far, I haven't used it on a project, but I can tell that it's so different from using a tripod or slider or skater dolly, that it will take some practice to get good results. I have been practicing daily, and I expect that the payoff -the increased variety of possible shots- will be worth the money and the effort.I think it's worth mentioning that one will benefit from doing some research about the camera you choose to put on the RS3 and how the devices will relate to each other. I bought a Sigma Fp, first for its price/performance promise (which promise it has kept in spades!), but also thinking that, among other things, it would, because of its light weight, be a good fit for a gimbal. But because the Sigma has only one Usb C port which is the only conduit for getting the camera's highest quality or for connecting the camera to the RS3, one needs to choose which capability to use. I found that that best solution was to add an Atomos Ninja V to the rig. Although this does add some weight, the availability of a monitor is worth it. The Sigma FP has neither a flip screen nor impressive continuous autofocus, but the focus peaking feature on the Ninja V as well as the impressive focus dial on the RS3 makes for a most usable trio. I don't mean to sound like I'm knocking the Sigma Fp. I'm not. I would buy it again. The images it makes are gorgeous. I would also buy the RS3 again, and I recommend it. But, if you are starting from scratch it would be worth knowing everything you can about how your devices work together and whether they'll accomplish everything you want them to do. If had been decision-making about an entire package, rather than starting with the camera, I might not have chosen the Sigma Fp as the best choice for a gimbal camera.There are two things I would change about the RS3: I would make the briefcase handle so that it could double as a side handle, either by adding a hinge to it or devising the nato connector so that it could be flipped ninety degrees. As it is, I have had to purchase a side handle separately. The other small complaint is that the fitting near the roll axis motor is sticky and not at all easy to adjust as are the tilt and pan fittings. I have given the device 5 stars. If I could, I would rate it 4 and a half.

fine product with major frustration
13 March 2023

I've used DJI products for quite a few years now (drones & gimbals), and I have generally found their products to be great and useful. I upgraded to the RS3 gimbal from the Ronin SC so that I could accommodate larger, heavier camera bodies. I found the RS3 to be right in line with the older gimbals I've used in terms of usability and effectiveness; although I can't say I observed in significant gains or improvements from even the earliest gimbals I worked with like the Zhiyun Crane 2. The RS3 worked well, though, and did a good job supporting my larger cameras. The only obnoxious thing was that every time I turned it on I was prompted to register the gimbal. I didn't have time to worry about this as I was headed directly out on a shoot; so I took the gimbal with me ... MoreI've used DJI products for quite a few years now (drones & gimbals), and I have generally found their products to be great and useful.

The RS3 worked well, though, and did a good job supporting my larger cameras. The only obnoxious thing was that every time I turned it on I was prompted to register the gimbal. I didn't have time to worry about this as I was headed directly out on a shoot; so I took the gimbal with me and began filming. After a few sessions of shooting, I noticed the repeated registration prompt counting down, and to my amazement, after the countdown reached zero the gimbal locked itself up and prohibited further use. I was out in the mountains with minimal cell signal, and even when I managed to connect to the web I could not remember my DJI account password and login info (imagine trying to figure all of this out in the middle of shooting with a client). So, I had to put the gimbal away and finish the shoot without it. This is an outrageous failure in customer support. No company should force users to register their product with them in this way, creating a built-in obsolescence that sabotages the user unless they agree to register. After I got home I was able to register the gimbal and continue using it. If I hadn't already used it once I would have returned it. Safe to say, DJI has lost me as a customer for their gimbal products in the future--I will happily switch to a different brand the next time I purchase a gimbal.
