Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The DJI RS 5 Combo is a camera gimbal stabiliser, priced at £619.00 and placed second in this guide. It holds 4.4 out of 5 from 401 ratings, and its listing carries a Best Sellers Rank of 12 in Camcorder Stabilisers & Supports. What makes this entry worth reading closely is not the headline spec but the difference between what the listing says is in the box and what the same listing says you have to buy.
The Box Contents field for this £619 Combo lists "RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module x 1". A bullet further up the same listing describes that module as "sold separately". Both statements describe the same product at the same price. The battery wording is looser still: the RS 5 bullet promises "up to 14 hours of standby time" and a "60% faster charge and 15% longer runtime", but no shooting runtime appears anywhere in the listing, and the 60% and 15% figures are given without saying what they are measured against. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from any testing of our own.
