In addition to the launch, Sekido is excited to introduce a trade-in service for those looking to purchase the DJI RS 5 at a discounted rate until February 13, 2026. This offer allows customers to trade in stabilizers from various brands, including faulty products and those purchased from other retailers.

Key Features of the DJI RS 5

The DJI RS 5 introduces the RS Enhanced Smart Tracking Module, enabling users to easily conduct tracking shots by simply selecting subjects like people, vehicles, or pets on the built-in touchscreen. With fine-tuning knobs located on each axis arm and a Teflon interlayer, precise and smooth balance adjustments are achieved. The gimbal also allows users to control both the gimbal and camera through an electronic briefcase handle, facilitating creative movements and shooting angles.

Enhanced Intelligent Tracking

The advanced smart tracking module supports a maximum tracking distance of 10 meters. It's perfect for various shooting styles, including orbit shots, backward tracking, and fixed position shots.

Smooth Balance Adjustment

Equipped with fine-tuning knobs on each axis and first-rate locking and quick-open tripods, the DJI RS 5 transitions smoothly from portable to ready-to-shoot modes, eliminating downtime and ensuring quick setups.

Flexible Control Options

The electronic briefcase handle allows for intuitive one-handed operation. It directly controls the gimbal and camera via the RSA communication port. Furthermore, Bluetooth shutter capabilities enable wireless control of shutter, zoom, and clear image zoom for Panasonic and FUJIFILM cameras.

Rapid Charging

Charging is 60% faster on the DJI RS 5, allowing for a full charge in just one hour. The standard battery lasts up to 14 hours, providing an increase in shooting time by 15%. Pairing it with the BG70 high-capacity battery grip enables a remarkable 30 hours of operation.

Video Shake Correction

With a payload capacity of 3kg, the DJI RS 5 efficiently stabilizes popular camera and lens combinations. The fifth-generation RS stabilization algorithm produces smooth outputs even in scenarios requiring shake correction, including vertical shots.
