Balancing

To obtain the best performance from DJI RS 3, proper balancing is essential. Proper balance is critical

for shots with DJI RS 3 where fast motion or acceleration is required and also offers longer battery

runtimes. There are three axes that need to be properly balanced before powering on DJI RS 3 and

setting up the software.

Before Balancing

1. The camera needs to be fully congured, with all accessories and cables connected, before installing

and balancing the camera on the gimbal. If the camera has a lens cap, make sure to remove it

before balancing. Before balancing, make sure to power on the camera if using an optical zoom lens

and to select the focal length if using a varifocal lens.

2. Make sure to balance the gimbal with all accessories mounted. Refer to the corresponding

accessory user guide for installation steps.

3. Make sure DJI RS 3 Pro is powered o or in sleep mode before balancing. The axis locks are locked

in this case.

Balancing Steps

The balancing steps are the same with or without accessories mounted.

1. Balancing the Vertical Tilt

a. Unlock the tilt axis and loosen the mounting plate knob .

b. Rotate the tilt axis so that the camera lens is pointing upward. Check to make sure the camera is

not top or bottom-heavy. If top-heavy, move the camera backward . If bottom-heavy, move the

camera forward .

c. Tighten the mounting plate knob while holding the camera upward. The vertical tilt is balanced

when the camera is steady while pointing upward.
