Fast, Native Vertical Shooting
With a redesigned horizontal plate, RS 4 supports native vertical orientation without extra gear. Simply release and reposition the plate to switch to vertical mode, making it faster and easier to shoot vertical content.
Quick Startup with Upgraded Axis Locks
The second-generation automated axis locks speed up transitions between power-on, sleep, and storage. Reduced lock gaps minimize gimbal shake for improved stability during transport or setup.
Precision Balancing Redefined
All axes feature a Teflon™ coating, reducing friction for smoother balancing. A fine-tuning knob on the tilt axis lets you shift the camera forward or backward with millimeter-level precision, while the updated quick-release plate includes a guide to secure camera positioning.
OLED Auto-Lock Screen
The RS 4’s OLED display now includes an auto-lock feature that prevents unintended touches. Even when locked, the screen shows key gimbal and joystick status with reduced brightness to conserve battery life.
Stable Performance with High Payload
Despite its lightweight design, RS 4 supports payloads up to 3kg, accommodating common mirrorless camera setups. The extended 8.5 mm tilt axis creates more space for larger builds, including setups with ND filters or other lens accessories.
Next-Gen Stabilization Algorithm
The 4th-generation RS stabilization system is optimized for a wide range of scenarios. It balances power and precision to deliver smooth footage, especially in dynamic or vertical shooting situations like tracking fast movement or capturing low-angle shots.
