UPDATE: No more drilling needed. Falcam developed an adapter specficially made for the RS3 Mini to adapt arca swiss. Here's the link: geni.us/dx5nn
does this work with the peak design plate?
@@seansiquigit doesn‘t.
Really helpful to us who are expecting our RS3 Mini arriving soon! Great job, man! Thanks for this.
You explained everything I wanted to know. Thank you Jevon!
This is the best video on the RS3 mini. Thanks a lot!
Fantastic overview, thanks!
I just drilled it as you indicated, and it works pretty well(with F38 quick release)!! Thank you for sharing this tip🥳
👍
thanks alot for sharing this info , i got the falcam f38 mounting system all over my gear, this helped alot deciding to purshase the rs3 mini
Outstanding! I just bought a Mini; am indeed frustrated by the limitations, and this is a help, thank you.
Yes man this is the best video about RS3 Mini Yet on RUclips
You explained 110% of details about the RS3 Mini
How do you know
I have the F38 system so this is a HUGE tip man. Huge. Haven't pulled the trigger on this gimbal yet but now that I know I can, with a minor diy tweak, keep my F38 "stuff" and switch out easily, I just might now. Thanks a TON for sharing this.
No need to drill the hole for the F38, I folded some paper in half and drew around the bottom of the F38 base plate. Cut it out and locked it in place on the dji nato rail. It’s not the width that’s the issue it’s the additional height that dji added to there own quick release plate.
@@nl-videography could you elaborate, maybe send a pic of what you did?
@@nl-videography im returning mine because i couldnt get it balanced with the f38 on top of the dji plate
Can you take out completely the part of the axis motor where it joints to the handgrip? ie separate the handgrip from the top part to make it more portable. I’m pretty sure there must be a way to take those out of the rail somehow, idk if it’s easy though. Thank you!
Hey why this manufacture didn't apply hot shoe shock on their gimble for smartphone additional light or mic? it's a serious need but i do not know why
How do I keep the pan to stay straight? Lol I’ve lowered follow speed. When I lock the gimbal with the trigger it doesn’t seem to do anything…?
Very nice video,may i ask i have a heavy lens with not heavy body can it balanced?i speak for nikon z50 with viltrox 13mm lens.
Thanks for sharing 😀 I mounted the Falcam F38 Quick Release directly on top of the standard adapter. It is a bit bulky, but it seems to work 🤷♂
@HikingHansen, when you install the F38 QR, did it not bump on gimbal motor where the back of the screen is, when you're doing Pan Tilt?
@@pedalquest1276 it works surprisingly well. I had no issues so far
@@HikingHansen thanks for replying.
Hello
I tried to connect my RS3 Mini to Fuji X-T30 ii with RSS USB-C to USB-C cable. The camera is equipped with XF 27mm 2.8 lens. Both camera and lens are listed as compatible at DJI website.
But when I tried to use the follow focus feature with the gimbal's dial, I've found that it's completely unusable. And the reason is following.
When I try to set the focus using gimbal's dial, the focus starts changing. But when I stop moving the dial, the focus does not stop changing. Sometimes the focus does not start changing when I start moving the dial. Sometimes the focus goes into infinity instantly. Overall experience is very laggy and I cannot use the feature in real shooting.
Both lens are working normally, the focus in being set properly with the lens' dial. As RS3 mini supports changing other parameters with gimbal's dial, such as ISO and aperture, I tried changing them and it works smootly. The problem is only with focus pulling. Also I've noticed that while changing the focus with gimbal's dial, the s.s., F and ISO indicators on the bottom of the camera screen, which are normally blue in fully manual mode, are blinking into white and then into blue again. So I guess there is some issue in camera firmware in part of processing the RSS input for focus parameter.
The camera and the gimbal both have the latest firmware by date
I tried operating the camera both in USB tether auto and USB tether fixed modes - the result is the same.
Am I missing some settings, or I've ran into a bug?
Thank you!
Thank you 🙏 😊I have been trying everything
Do you think it’s possible to balance a canon r3 on it. Waiting for my RS3 mini to come in now
at the beginning there was info it supports Z8. Now it disappeared. and still you can not connect via Bluetooth to it :(
Thank you for highlighting some of my concerns about purchasing the Rs3 mini.
are the plates you mentioned compatible with peak design tripod / capture clip?
I got the small rig arm and their arc Swiss plate. Had to make a slight mod to it to fit the arc Swiss L bracket I use on my camera. I am really liking the mini 3 . Tried other brands but this works brilliantly
Lol how to you adjust the axis balance now that you mounted the quick release system straight on the arm?
Good video, thanks for sharing the info. Would love to see the Whats in my bag “rs3 mini” version.
Will have to do a new one soon. My gear has changed a bit since the last time I did one.
I like the backpack strap location you do!
Hi Jeven. How to balance a lense with a zoom range? I balanced mine halfway the size it can be, but when I change my zoomlens to zoom in or out, the balance is off and gimbal goes in to sleepmode, also in the middle of a shot, wich is frustrating for filming weddings. I won't dare to try it on a wedding yet, because of it. Any tips?
The only way to fix this is to use a Zoom lens that isn’t going in and out. It rather should be all inside the lens
Always thinking! Thank you again! 🎥 👌
So good that Im getting the best travel gimbal and now it gets even better.
Do you know if a Canon Rebel T3i would fit on the RS3 mini?
I'm wondering if it's better to lose a little more money and add weight and buy a normal RS3? (a74+S 24-70, in future maybe S 85). about acra's system: so I can't use smallrig cage and instal camera to gimbal without this dji plate ?
If you buy the Mac Mini M2, can you test how well it edits 4k/6k 60p high (above 400mbs) bitrate footage? Thank you.
👀
this is genius, hopefully falcam makes it plug and play but I do like the the diy drill solution. very novel
Aways dynamic shares ! I come back for the knowledge the filming and the ability to connect with us !
Can you make tutorial video on how you DIY-ed the solution for the F38 QR adapter?
The biggest problem, I can't use that roller for zooming, is it possible to instal motor for focusing or zooming?
I bought it recently and tried with my Sony ZV-E10 + 16mm Sigma lense. Overall is ok but i notice when i tried to rotate the camera (horizontally) using the joystick, the alignment kinda messed up a little bit. So i need to adjust the alignment or re-calibrate again n again hmm not sure if its due to my camera weight or wrong setup ..
Might be a balance issue. The rs3 mini is more sensitive because the motors have less power. Work on your balance
It may be too light. Mine has a problem with a6400 and 16-50 in flashlight mode. As soon as I give a heavier lens it's ok.
Finally a video that really helps! ;-)
Glad it helped!
Hey Jeven, Looking to get my first gimbal for my Canon R5 with a 24-70 lens. This Ronin still looks like the best out there compared to Zhiyun and Hohem despite not having the AI sensor. That said I am 66 and my vision isn’t what it used to be and am considering adding an external monitor to a gimbal. Is it possible to add a monitor to one of these gimbals?
Old comment, but yes, you can get a sling arm or mounting arm from Smallrig, Newer, etc. They come with 1/4” mounts and cold shoes for mounting a portable monitor!
They attach to the sides of the gimbal!
For some odd reason I can’t get my camera to balance vertically on this gimbal and i need to shoot vertical for my social media job content very odd because my set up is fairly light
is this rs3 mini can handle the R6 with rf 24-70?
Meanwhile Ulanzi has introduced the Falcam F38 for the RS3 Mini, which also works in vertical mode!!👍 The mounting plate 3334 is smaller than the Dji one, but seems to work also with Arca swiss mounts.
And here's me making my little videos on a phone camera. Will still watch and learn though! 😊
Never give up on your passion 💪 I started with galaxy note 9 through A7siii !! It's all about matter of time 🙏💪🔥
@@mr.grandpa745 Love the positivity ~ best of luck to you too!
Same here lol.
Epic video!
I tried this setting and it was the best one, thank you man
I have the old Ronin S, now I have a a7iii with the 28-75mm Tamron VXD (550g). You think that is a good idea to sell the old gimbal and switch to this new one?
P.s. if you add to your setup a mic like a vidoemic pro the gimbal can handle the setup? Like for wedding?
Thanks for the response 🔥
The weight on top with the mic would throw it off. Better to get the RS3 if you want to add anything on top
@@JevenDovey thanks man ❤️ have a nice day
what about using Peak Design capture clips standard plates? would they work with the RS3 mini?
No that’s a standard arca Swiss. That won’t work unless you modify like I did.
@@JevenDovey Shame that won't work. I had the same question.
Really want to live the rs3 mini. I bought it to use with a GH5, but for some reason the mini specifically states it cannot control tv, av, iso for this camera while the RS3, RSC2 both do... very strange I might have to return it and buy the rsc2 just to use it with my GH5...
Hi Jeven how compatible isthe Bluetooth functionality across camera brands? Can I use this gimbal Bluetooth to record and control shutter on a Nikon z body?
Not sure on nikon because I haven’t tested it. If you can connect via Bluetooth then it should work. Contact DJI support and the should be able to help you
Im using this gimbal with the Nikon Z6ii. The bluetooth only can control start and stop recording. If you want to control shutter, focus, iso, aperture you need to use the usb-c cable.
@@ManishGosalia Thanks for the clarification!
@@ManishGosalia thanks
I remember reading in an Amazon review about how the only thing Bluetooth works with besides Record is unfortunately the Zoom, worse still, it doesn't work with Optical zoom.
Jeven do you have editing courses on creator film school? I’m talking about like creative editing, once you have all your footage from there on I’m usually lost how and where to start editing. Creative thought behind it. How to start telling the story with the footage that I already have. Then of course technical side of it. For example Final Cut Pro, how to edit with this program, all the technical step by step tutorials. Anyways I’m interested in these kind of courses. Do you offer this on creator film school? Thank you 🙏
I have a Final Cut Pro course that does go through some of the creative but I’m doing another class soon that is all about the creative side of editing and how to cut stories together
@@JevenDovey That would be amazing, I’m going to sign up today. Thanks for your hard work to educating us .
@@JevenDovey so I was just checking out the website, my understanding is that monthly membership will get you access to all the videos that is also available to purchase as individual courses?
In the meantime Ulanzi just showed a dedicated holder for the RS3 mini compatible with F38 plates. It also seems that their arm for the Zhiyun gimbal could be used.
Where did they make this announcement? I can't find anything about it and they haven't released anything yet. I went ahead and got the replacement quick release plate for the M3, so hopefully that's compatible like some have said.
Been using this qutie a bit now, after a while it just starts shaking wierdly uncontrollably. The only way to resolve this was to re-calibrate it, anyone else found similar ?
HI; yes me too. The only way to control is not to spin gimbal right or left more than 45 º in one shot.
@@malonsocasa interesting, it seems to of resolved with update recently however for me
How about putting the falcam base plate in top of the dji plate, does it work? Or do you really need to drill a hole?
You could try it. The issue is the height. It will probably throw the gimbal out of balance when you stack it that high
@Jeven Dovey thank you so much for your answer. Really cool you show this extra super important tips.
@@ZamoraChristian I just tested a PGYTECH Quick Release Plate and those will work in the original quick release. However, they don't work with my peak design shoulder strap. So I'm sticking with the drill method
@Jeven Dovey super interesting. Well if i get it i will have to use your method, i have lots of falcam plates so that will be my choice. 👍🙏 have a great Sunday
Can you compare it to the Weebill 3S?
My biggest frustration has been with the Tilta cage on my FX3. There's no way I can get it balanced even having the combo of lens+camera with the cage below 3.4lb. It's always bottom heavy and I even if I get to the bottom limit of the side slide, it's always unstable 'cause it would need to go even further to the bottom. When I remove the cage, everything balances well.
Do you mean it’s too too heavy?
@@jasonleung6433 no, it's still under the max supported weight. I'm guessing it's related to the center of gravity because when the cage is on, when I attach the DJI's small release plate to the cage, the camera height might be a bit high to have it properly balanced.
New drinking game… shot every time arca swiss is mentioned!
Ps, great video.
I used Sony a73 and sigma art 50 mm 1.4 but still can't balance huhu😢
the issue I have with the base plate is that Curved placement guide at the top of the plate.... yes i know it is there so you know that part is to mounted towards the lens... but it is a design flaw..... depending what camera you have. I have the Panasonic Gh5s.... it wont mount correctly as the camera is a little thicker... so the only way if you want to use the DJI plate is to mount it backwards..... but then you cant open the OLED screen on the gh5s. I have purchased the falcam adaptor. And to be honest the Curved placement guide on the DJI base plate is really pointless.
RS3 Mini has been totally great but I guess it gets perfect with this info.
Dang... I wonder if there's a solution for Peak Design's capture clip.
Also, you have the 24-70GMII. That's slightly lighter than the version 1... I hope version 1 can still be lifted by this gimbal LOL
LITERALLY what i've been looking for... we need answers lol
@@KNEEDEEP760 I've watched some other videos and yes it can work with GM version 1
@@poiisondn Thank you !
Replied to someone else but the rs3 mini plate works in the peak capture clip v3 with no modifications. It's a tiny bit loose but still totally secure.
@@alexyorkshots Does it work the other way arround too without modifications?
The Peak Design standard plate for Clip V3 into the small DJI Clamp which is on the RS3 mini?
I found a way to use Peak Design Plates! There is a adapter from Niceyrig who fits with minor modification in the DJI Clamp.
@Pumpi you have a link for it?
@@gavinjai I can't post it here in the comments. There is a reddit thread where this problem is discussed.
Few problems I get with the rs3 mini:
1. all the tutorials are in Chinese??
2. With some motions the gimbal goes in overdrive acts erratic and frankly spooks the heck out of me.. first time gimbal user but I thought I’d have a lot of freedom working with that?? My set up is well below 2kgs and properly balanced
3. The panorama mode looked promising but what’s with the setup and all those angles? Am I a computer or something? I want a simple view from my camera and I want it to take a simple panorama, how should I set it up??? Without getting too geometrical:D
4. Same goes for Timelapses and waypoints..
Jeven, the timing of this video could not have been better, my RS3 Mini arrives today, AND I already use the Falcam 38 on everything I own (including my coffee cup); QUESTION - WHAT size of drill bit did you use? WHERE did you decide to put the hole at (how far in from what end) ; WHAT length of 1/4 20 did you use. Again, the timing of this video was nothing perfect; THANK YOU SIR.
Not sure the exact size bit. My tool bench is a mess so I grabbed one that was the size of my screw 😂. How I decided where to put it is by fitst balancing the gimbal and getting the camera where i want it. Then using that spot. You can still adjust the weight side to side using the back arm so as long as you find a good balance spot you can adjust from there. Also If you really needed to you can add a few holes and move the quick release based on the gear/lens you're using.
@@JevenDovey thank you sir, your response came faster than my RS3 delivery today.
wow thanks Within .32 seconds you answered my question if I could use my quick release Falcam plates and look like nope
You can if you modify the gimbal with a new quick release
@@JevenDovey Guess you can tell I got distracted and didn't finished the video, Nice tip. I may be interested in this now. thanks Jeven. always top content. I use FALCAM too.
Still going to stick to my RS3.
What really pi....ed me off with the mounting plate that came with my DJI RS2 is that there is only one screw hole to mount the camera cage onto it.
When you run a bigger lens with the focus motor it will make the whole camera rig move around the vertical axis of this one screw until the focus motor loses contatct with the lens - UGHRRRR!
Bought a 3rd. party plate that allows for 2 or more screws to fix the camera cage tightly.
The biggest problem for me is that since the it can't stay balanced folded down and the handle doesn't come off, the RS3 is actually more portable since it fits in my bag better.
That's my turning point to the RS3 than the Mini.. That is a very valid point.
what do u mean by folded down?
Yeahh this is a big deal breaker for me if I understood it as you have. I want a quick and portable device for travel but if I have to balance it every time I take it out then no way.
I just gotta find smoother handheld methods for the time being haha.
@@existential_yeah wish I figured it out before buying the RS3 mini
@@liceafilmsI've gotten it now and can unlock all 3 axis's and it fits in my bag. No balance adjustments needed, just unlock and orient each arm so it lies flat in my bag.
I love falcam
0:17 a good gimbal to get “OR NOT”, sound very Malaysian 😂
All good points. However, after about two months the 360 roll function stopped working.
The non-removable battery isn't a problem since you can charge the Ronin when you use use. I have a V-Mount battery to charge my camera and my Ronin SC.
Yeeeees, I think same. Even a good powerbank is enough, I already used for more than 16h
The real problem comes when the integrated battery will die
What is the v mount battery and how to attach?
I want the RS3 Mini in carbon fiber and the locking of the RS3/RS3 Pro.
Can this be used with the canon 250 d dslr
Check the weight of your camera lens combo and see it it exceeds the weight limit
@@JevenDovey thanks for such a quick response, it's 2kg(appropriate wait for the gimbal), I've read the focus wheel doesn't work but if I'm using auto on my camera already would this matter
Do you know if the DJI RS3 mini plate will work on the mantispod? I have a ZVE10 and already invested in a lot of peak design gear. If the RS3 mini plate will work on the capture clip then this will be the gimbal i will get...
I can confirm that the rs3 mini plate fits the Peak capture clip v3, with no modifications. It's a tiny bit loose but still totally secure. I've tested it myself and there are other videos on YT about it too.
@@alexyorkshots Thanks!
You may have already found this out the hard way, but the DJI plate is not compatible with the Mantispod. It will go on the tripod, but won't lock down securely. The DJI plate is also about .5mm too wide to fit on the Peak Design tripod. I'm starting to think DJI made these two systems incompatible intentionally. Seems like it would have been so easy to make them play nice.
The arca Swiss thing is also most annoying thing in my opinion as I also use peak design gear.
With your hack you are loosing the possibility the balance the camera to the sides. Not sure if this is so smart…
You can still balance side to side with my modification. The arm slides. You don’t need the DJI plate to slide
Ah ok- that’s awesome then indeed 💪
There is a perfect solution Falcam makes a quick release plate for Zhiyun m3 which fits perfectly to mini3. I have been using it and no issues so far
Hello. Thanks for commenting this. Been looking for a solution without having to drill. The M3 adaptor you are using, are you using the entire adaptor mounting to the arm of the MINI3 or did you have to do any modifications? Thanks again
@@joeanthony8276 no modifications are needed, just install the quick release plate to the side handle and good to go. I spoke with Ulanzi and they said there will be a quick release plate for RS Mini3 soon.
I just ordered the M3 quick release arm. Hope this solution works!
@@HikeSoloOutdoors did this work for you?
@@joeanthony8276 I haven't received it yet. It should arrive later today though, so I'll let you know.
So, before anyone starts drilling… The RS3 Mini plate is made for regular arca swiss recievers, even if standard arca plates don’t fit onto the gimbal. People who like a regular arca swiss setup can just keep DJIs plate on the camera.
Can you use the RS3 mini with a smartphone?
You need to adjust the stiffness for that.
@@shadostorm8375 I'm now using my Pixel 7 Pro and the RS 4 PRO lol
dude, was this filmed in San Clemente?
Ya
that was cool to see!
Can anyone explain how to get “half lock mode”?
You goto close to the mid point, lock that axis and turn it to mid point then u get the half lock mode.
My biggest problem is that I can’t balance a r6 with a 15-35 on it.

any solution for someone who is only using manfrotto plates? like an adsaptor or something? thanks
This gimbal is not setup for manfrotto. You could modify it like I did and add a manfrotto quick release if it’s small
@@JevenDovey thanks . lastly, i didnt get it about the falcam. does the rs3 mini camera plate, fits on the falcam adaptor? if yes i could just buy 2 falcams, and fit the rs3 mini camera plate to all of my other stuff, like tripod manfrotto and shoulder rig manfrotto style. thanks
Raven eye works on mini ??

What are folks using for mic/sound with the Mini or just using the camera mic?I have the Sony ECM-B10 but it's too big when paired with the a7siii. I could use my DJI wireless mic but it doesn't seem like the best solution. Maybe I just need to settle for the onboard mic on the a7siii.
This one is perfect for on the Mini ruclips.net/video/aa3eIDQxoWU/видео.html
@@JevenDovey Thanks Jeven
Can’t decide between the RS3 and RS3 mini, the price difference is smaller in Sweden so cost isn’t a factor.
A half locked mini seems less packable than a locker rs3. It’s important to just be able to pick up a balanced gimbal and start shooting
the biggest problem for me is you cant use a cage because it becomes top heavy and you cant add a counterweight as there is the release button on the back
Depends on the camera. Im using my A7C with the smallrig cage with no issues.
My son has rs3 trust me there are more frustrating things in this gimbal
I would prefer rsc2 over rs3 mini
Try sideways shoot like in POV shoot by inclining on the side..it will probably collapse…
Instead of drilling out the arm buy the Smallrig arca swiss plate.
Sweet, that’s what I feel like doing after purchasing a $750 product is taking a power tool drilling through it….
Feiyu SCORP-C vs DJI RS3 MINI
Can't you just the f38 system without drilling a hole?
I wasn’t able to
only lasts 10 hours XD , bro if u know anyone that shoots 10hours straight in a day that on itself is remarkable XD , great video tho
my footage is not that stable at all. this is my first gimbal, disappointed
All the "issues" were personal issues that normal users won't even be botherd with
But thats one of the features - vertical - now you don't have it. Its not really a good solution
Even with the hole you still can use vertical. Just throw the original dji clip and plate in your bag. You'll have to change plates, but if vertical is that important to you....
1st
problem 1009...
For those who don't want to drill a hole - the PGYTech quick release plates work with the the Ronin RS3 mini.
Good to know
Actually, most of the normal arca swiss plates do
Do you have a link? Thanks
Do you have a link please?
@@RobHK I've tried a bunch of arca swiss plates and all are too loose with the original mount. I ordered a few others to test out.
Dear DJI, just make your part compatible to what majority users have please. the product is made in China, anyway. everything is made in china. it's not like you have copyright laws.
