Rank #4 in Best Gimbal Stabiliser 2026: 10 Ranked, Two Battery Claims That Don't Add Up
DJI RS 4 Mini Camera Gimbal, 2kg Payload
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DJI RS 4 Mini sits at number 4 in this guide at £285.00, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 1,610 reviews. It is the lightest-sounding proposition of the DJI gimbals here: a stated 2 kg maximum payload that the listing says covers mirrorless cameras, vlog cameras and phones, auto axis locks it claims make it ready in one second, and a horizontal-to-vertical switch quoted at 10 seconds.
The catch is in the box list. One bullet promises that the RS Intelligent Tracking Module keeps your subject framed, which reads like part of the product; the box contents in the same listing name a gimbal, an L-shaped multi-camera control cable, a quick-release plate, an RS 4 Mini tripod, a screw kit and a USB-C charging cable, and no tracking module. It is the same gap between headline feature and what is actually in the box that this guide flags elsewhere. Worth noting too: the specification list here carries no battery-life figure at all, so there is no runtime number to check the bullets against. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as supplied, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I cant add anything further other than this is a fantastic product! A little fiddly to initially set up and configure the balance of the camera but once up and running it's perfect.My son is into videography and has wanted one for ages and couldn't be happier!I'd say this item is overkill for most people but if you are filming content for sharing regularly and want buttery smooth footage this is for you.”
Verified purchase“After several years of intensive usage, this little guy is still going strong and helping me make the most impressive cinematic shots/ I love how stable it is but also compact and lightweight - given the capacity. It's easy to balance and then I can trust that it won't need rebalancing any time soon. If it feels off then a quick calibration sorts out minor issues. It's USB-charging and the handle itself contains both the usb port and battery (an improvement over previous models) and there's an easy to see LED gauge to let you know when it's fully charged. The extra handle on the combo bundle makes longer sessions much easier and enables me to get low down shots with nu fuss.The gimbal packs down really small, and has several modes to suit my style of filming. I always use the tilt lock mode, to keep the horizon level, and after a few hours of use the way of working becomes second nature. The display is handy and easy to read, with functions clearly described. At the time of my order this was just the best value gimbal for its functionality you could buy. Now, you would buy the latest version, which is even more impressive, but if you can't afford that then I can absolutely assure you that a used RS3 combo is still an amazing tool.As you can see in the image, over the years I've adapted the gimbal slightly, adding a full scale Manfrotto quick release adapter and various counterweights to suit my fairly unbalanced rig. The motors are powerful enough to deal with the extra bits, no problem.”
