SUMMARY

The DJI RS 5 gimbal, particularly the Combo edition with its AI tracking module, offers significant upgrades for filmmakers. It features built-in AI subject tracking, which uses a dedicated camera to identify and follow subjects, a capability previously limited to enthusiast gear. The gimbal also boasts improved automated locking mechanisms for easier packing, premium components, enhanced camera compatibility, and a new briefcase handle for versatile shooting angles. While priced as a premium product, its features and performance, including strong motor support for heavy setups and fast battery charging, position it as a competitive value against similar gimbals.
