Product overview

DJI RS 4: What to Know

The RS 4 sits in the middle of DJI's Ronin-S/RS lineup, below the heavier RS 4 Pro and above the compact RS 4 Mini. According to DJI's published specification sheet, it's rated for a 3 kg maximum payload and weighs approximately 1,066 g on its own, with a 3,000 mAh (21 Wh) battery that DJI lists as good for 12 hours of stationary runtime and roughly 2.5 hours to recharge. Those figures come from DJI's own spec page, not a third-party test, so real-world runtime with an active monitor or transmitter attached will run shorter.

What distinguishes the RS 4 from cheaper 3-axis gimbals is less the raw payload number, the Zhiyun Weebill 3S matches it, and more the surrounding ecosystem: DJI markets it with a Focus Pro motor option for manual lens control, compatibility with DJI's Transmission video system, and Teflon-coated axis arms intended to reduce wobble under load. The listing title on the current Amazon.com page confirms this is the standard RS 4 (not the RS 4 Pro or RS 4 Combo bundle), meaning the base package does not include the Focus Pro motor or transmitter, those are separate DJI accessories or part of the RS 4 Combo listing.

DJI's second-generation native vertical shooting feature lets the camera plate rotate for portrait-orientation video without re-balancing the rig from scratch, which matters for creators who split output between landscape footage and vertical social formats. The two-mode switch joystick is DJI's control input for panning and framing adjustments during a shot.

Because the RS 4 and Weebill 3S share the same 3 kg payload ceiling on paper, the practical difference between them comes down to accessory ecosystem and included features rather than raw carrying capacity, worth weighing against your existing gear before choosing one over the other.
