DJI RS5 camera gimbal announcement is very near to us, since just a few days ago, we saw the price leak of the DJI RS5. DJI RS5 Australian price leak hinting at a $838 AUD (~$553 USD) entry-level model gimbal. An Australian retailer has sent us the price tag of the RS5 gimbal. Just after that, we have the product shots coming up from one of the trusted sources. Trusted DJI leaker Igor Bogdanov (@Quadro_News) has dropped the first official leaked images of the DJI RS5 gimbal.
So not one, we have multiple product shots of the gimbal that is expected to be announced soon. Since the product shots are already available, specs are also there, and the pricing is available from retailers, then for sure the product is already in stock worldwide and waiting for a formal official announcement.
DJI RS5 Specification
- Modular Arm & Vertical Shooting: Enhanced NATO rails
- LiDAR-Ready Focus Module: The side-mounted slot confirms compatibility with DJI Focus Pro, enabling AI-driven autofocus even in low light. The next-generation ActiveTrack Pro can directly read images from the camera built into the Focus Pro LiDAR Autofocus with no need for the Ronin Image Transmitter.
- Ergonomic Grip Upgrades: The BG33 handle
- Battery & Charging: The new BG33 intelligent handle delivers a 15% battery life increase (up to 13+ hours)
- Full charge in just 1 hour via USB-C. No more mid-shoot swaps—ideal for wedding pros or travel vloggers.
- Balancing Aid: A built-in Z-axis indicator
- Smart Tracking & Composition: Upgraded intelligent composition and tracking algorithms promise smoother ActiveTrack-like following, with AR overlays in the Ronin app for virtual horizons.
- Payload Capacity: Sticking to 3kg (6.6 lbs)—same as the RS4—confirming this base model targets mirrorless setups (e.g., Sony A7S III + lens). No jump here, but…
DJI RS5 Pro Bundle Set
What New inside the DJI RS 5 Gimbal
- Battery/Charge: +15% life, 1h full vs. RS4’s 2h.
- Tracking: Smarter AI for composition vs. RS4’s solid but basic.
- Balancing: Z-axis helper absent in RS4.
- Payload: Identical 3kg base; Pro upgrades pending.
Confirmed DJI RS5 Specs: Battery Life Jumps 15%, But Load Stays at 3kg
So here we are discussing the confirmed specifications of the upcoming DJI RS5 gimbal. The biggest disappointment that I feel after reading the specifications of the DJI RS5 is its payload. It remains at 3 kg, which is very similar to the DJI RS4 payload. Not even close to the DJI RS4 Pro, which can lift approximately 4.5 kg. So that’s a very clear indication that in the near future, very soon, we are going to have a DJI RS5 Pro gimbal in the lineup.
Since obviously the DJI RS5 isn’t a combined update or a major upgrade over the DJI RS4 Pro at the very same time. If you look at the announcement dates or the DJI scheduled announcement pattern, in the previous year the DJI RS4 and RS4 Pro were announced simultaneously on the same day (DJI’s history backs this: The RS4 and RS4 Pro launched together on April 9, 2024, at NAB—no staggered rollout). So even if the DJI RS5 Pro is not coming alongside the DJI RS5, we are expecting it sometime around or around CES 2026.

Breaking Down the Leak: RS 5 Pricing in AUD (and USD Equivalents)
Before we jump into any new set of information, let’s analyse the pricing of the DJI RS 5 Gimbal in the USA/USD. We already have the Australian pricing of the DJI RS 5 Gimbal. We have to adjust a little bit based on the currency exchange factors and the tax we have to pay, and the overall figure that we get. We have added it in the table below.
| Product | SKU | Price (AUD) | Approx. USD | RS 4 Equivalent (USD) | Price Delta (vs. RS 4 Base) |
| DJI RS 5 | 6738977 | 838.00 | ~553 | N/A | +$84 (from RS 4’s ~$469) |
| DJI RS 5 Combo | 6738976 | 998.00 | ~658 | N/A | +$99 (from RS 4 Combo est.) |
| DJI Ronin RS 4 | 6189086 | 678.00 | ~447 | 469 | Baseline |
| DJI Ronin RS 4 Combo | 6189090 | 848.00 | ~559 | N/A | N/A |
| DJI Ronin RS 4 Pro | 6189082 | 1,298.00 | ~856 | 869 | +$387 (from RS 4) |
| DJI Ronin RS 4 Pro Combo | 6189083 | 1,598.00 | ~1,055 | N/A | N/A |
| DJI RS 4 Mini | 6702985 | 538.00 | ~355 | 369 | Entry-level alt. |
| DJI RS 4 Mini Combo | 6702986 | 658.00 | ~434 | N/A | N/A |
| DJI RS BG21 Grip | 5573682 | 119.00 | ~78 | ~79 | Accessory staple |
At $838 AUD (~$553 USD), the base RS 5 represents a modest 12% premium over the RS 4’s $678 AUD launch price, signaling DJI’s intent to keep the series accessible for hybrid shooters balancing cameras like the Nikon ZR, Sony AV or Canon R5 II. The Combo kit—likely bundling essentials like extra batteries, focus motors, and a RavenEye image transmitter—jumps to $998 AUD, offering better value for kit-builders. Compared to the RS 4 Pro’s $1,298 AUD entry, the RS 5 feels like a “Pro-lite” contender, potentially packing enough bells and whistles to lure users away from pricier alternatives like the Zhiyun Crane 5 or Moza AirCross 3.
