DJI’s RS4 Mini Stabilizer Now Features Automatic Subject Tracking

Shortly after introducing subject tracking with its latest smartphone gimbal, DJI has now integrated this feature into its new lightweight camera gimbal. The RS4 Mini, available with DJI’s RS Intelligent Tracking Module, can keep a human subject in frame and offers features like auto-axis locks and 4th-gen stabilization, similar to its flagship RS4 gimbals.

The RS4 Mini is a significant redesign from the previous RS3 Mini, with a slightly heavier build (2 pounds compared to 1.8 pounds) to accommodate new features. It maintains a 4.4-pound payload, allowing it to support nearly every mirrorless camera and many lightweight cinema cameras.

An important new feature for ease of use is the addition of automatic axis locks, absent on the previous model. The RS4 Mini is the first of DJI’s gimbals to use 2nd-Gen axis lock tech, which can unlock the gimbal in just one second. It also features DJI’s 3rd-Gen Native Vertical Switch, offering the fastest switch experience in the RS series. A new addition is Teflon interlayers and a fine-tuning knob for more precise millimeter balancing when installing a camera. DJI also introduced a new Responsive mode (alongside the regular Smooth mode) that allows the gimbal to respond better to fast hand movements.

For solo vloggers, the coolest new feature is the DJI RS Intelligent Tracking Module (included in the RS 4 Mini Combo), which enables ActiveTrack on any phone or camera, keeping a human subject in frame within 33 feet. Tracking can be enabled with a pull of the trigger or an open palm visual command.

The RS 4 Mini also features DJI’s latest 4th-Gen Stabilization, which balances stabilization strength and tactile feel, promising an enhanced user experience and improved stability for vertical shooting. Other improvements include 30% better battery life (up to 13 hours) and charging speeds, a next-gen RS Briefcase Handle, and a quick-release magnetic mount. The RS4 Mini is now available for $369 by itself or $459 in the Combo package, which includes the RS Intelligent Tracking Module and RS Briefcase Handle.
