The DJI Ronin and RS gimbals are the stabilisers behind a lot of footage that does not look like it came from a drone company. The current lead is the RS 5, which broke cover as a genuine step rather than a refresh.
If you have just bought one, the RS5 beginner’s guide covers setup, balancing and filming technique in the order that actually works. Balancing is the part people rush and the part that matters most — an unbalanced gimbal fights its own motors and drains the battery doing it.
The range sits alongside DJI’s camera products rather than its drones: the Osmo Pocket line for stabilised pocket shooting, Osmo Action for rugged mounted work, and the wider Osmo range — where the recurring theme in 2026 has been US availability rather than capability. Every Ronin and RS story lands in the feed below.

DJI Accidentally Leaks the DJI Ronin RS5 on YouTube

Frequently asked questions
How do I set up and balance a DJI RS gimbal?
Balancing before you power on is the whole discipline, and it is the step most people rush. Our RS5 beginner's guide walks through setup, balancing and basic filming technique in the order that actually works.
Is the DJI RS 5 worth upgrading to?
It was a genuine step rather than a refresh — we said at launch that it means business. Whether that justifies replacing a working gimbal depends on how much of your shooting is handheld.
Do I need a gimbal if my camera is stabilised?
In-camera stabilisation handles small vibration; a gimbal handles movement. If you are walking, following or riding with the shot, the gimbal is doing something the sensor cannot.
