How to set up and balance DJI RS3 mini Gimbal

The DJI RS3 mini is a compact gimbal stabilizer that is compatible with lots of cameras including the latest mirrorless and compact cameras from Sony, Canon, Fuji and Nikon. It features three-axis stabilization, which helps to smooth out shakes and vibrations, resulting in stable and professional-looking footage. The gimbal also has a variety of shooting modes, such as panorama and time-lapse, and can be controlled remotely via the DJI Ronin app.

The RS3 mini is currently the lightest mini gimbal capable of holding a mirrorless camera on the market.

Built on similar tech as the RS3 and the RS3 Pro, but is lighter weight at around 800Grams (1.8lbs) and can carry 2 kilogram (4.4lb) payload. RS3 mini can also shoot vertical for social media. It comes in at $369 USD.

Can this be used with a full sized tripod?
