To switch to vertical shooting, simply loosen and press the single-side knob, remove the gimbal's horizontal plate, rotate it 90°, and then tighten it back in place [8]—all in just a few seconds.
Dual-Layered Quick-Release Plates
The Arca-Swiss upper plate and Manfrotto lower plate allow quick switching between gimbal and tripod without rebalancing, thanks to position memory. In addition, the upper plate adds an adjustable guide for secure camera mounting.
Support for DJI Focus Pro Motor
When paired with two Focus Pro Motors [5], RS 5 allows cinematographers to adjust the lens zoom via the joystick and precisely control the focus via the dial, facilitating smooth and effortless lens control.
