DJI RS5 - geni.us/p7B4c
Most gimbal footage isn’t bad because of how you move, it’s bad because of one setting almost nobody changes. In this video, I’ll show you the exact gimbal setting you need to adjust to get smoother, more natural footage.
I’m also breaking down the new DJI RS5 and some of the key updates that actually matter in real-world shooting. We’ll look at the enhanced intelligent tracking module and how it behaves in practice, the new fine-tune adjustment knobs on each axis that make balancing quicker and more precise, and a few other refinements that make the RS5 feel more dialed than previous generations.
