$838 AUD Entry Signals Imminent Launch for Next-Gen Ronin Gimbal

DJI RS 5 Gimbal is coming. We all know we have already spotted the FCC ID document few days ago, published on our website. Now finally, we have a leaked screenshot from an Australian retailer, and in the screen, it is very clearly visible — the name of the DJI RS 5 Gimbal alongside the RS 5 Combo, the batch number, as well as the Australian pricing of both Standard and the Combo Edition — priced at $838 AUD and $998 AUD, respectively.

So the DJI RS 5 has become a kind of a good update to look for when you are planning to buy the DJI RS 4 / RS 4 Pro Gimbal. Now, it all depends on the set of specifications the DJI RS 5 carries within it.

And since the DJI RS 5 Mini Gimbal has already reached in the hands of retailers, the official announcement is expected very soon.

Let’s unpack the set of specifications and details we already know about the DJI RS 5 Gimbal..

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 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 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.

Rumoured Features: What Makes the RS 5 a “Massive Upgrade”?

We have already seen the FCC ID registration of the DJI RS 5 Gimbal. DJI is actually planning to give a hardware refresh to the existing RS 4 / RS 4 Pro gimbals. Right now we do not have any information related to the RS 5 Professional Gimbal, but yes, we do have rumoured specifications related to the RS 5 that we are going to discuss below.

1. Enhanced Payload and Z-Axis Stabilisation

The Rumor: The Initial set of rumours suggests the DJI RS 5 Gimbal has been custom-tailored/designed for uninterrupted 8K workflow, and that’s why it is adding up to the weight. The RS 5 is now able to handle up to 5 KG compared to the RS 4 Pro, which was limited to 4.5 KG. This will allow handling or accommodating beefier setups like the RED Komodo 6K or Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro with full lens rigs.
Z-Axis Magic: Filmmakers on Reddit have claimed that true up-down (Z-axis) stabilisation means more stabilised and buttery smooth footage from the camera. But keep in mind it’s still a rumour and not the final core specs that we are talking about.

2. LiDAR 2.0 and AI Autofocus Overhaul

Building on the RS 4’s RavenEye system, expect deeper LiDAR integration for real-time subject tracking up to 20 meters. Paired with DJI’s O3 Pro transmission (seen in the Osmo Pocket 4), latency could drop below 50ms.
AI Smarts: Rumours swirl around on-device machine learning for predictive framing, auto-balancing heavy lenses, and even gesture controls—think waving to start recording, à la newer AirPods tech.

3. Battery and Ecosystem Synergies

A rumored 30% battery life boost – 33.29 Wh battery, up to 12 hours, that we have seen from the FCC ID document.
Tighter ties to the Lito X1 (DJI’s modular accessory teased for Q1 2026). More to be revealed soon after the official announcement.

So these are the set of limited core specifications we are expecting from the DJI RS 5 Gimbal, and now we already have the Australia and the US pricing of the gimbal, and finally we are waiting for its official announcement.
