DJI shrank the Ronin line again. The RS 4 Mini gains auto locks, a 30 percent longer battery and optional AI tracking while keeping a 4.4 lb payload. After a fortnight on the road, here is the full verdict together with a head-to-head versus RS 3 Mini.
With a 2.5 kg payload, fold-out briefcase grip and on-board AI camera, the FeiyuTech Scorp 2 promises pro-grade stabilisation at a sub-$300 price. After three weeks of field shoots, here’s my verdict on build, balancing, battery and real-world performance.
The Zhiyun Crane 4 promises stronger motors, clever balance aids and a built-in LED to tempt mirrorless shooters away from DJI. After a month of real-world filming, here’s my full verdict on build, balancing, battery and who should grab one in 2025.
I’ve tested the newest DJI, Zhiyun and FeiyuTech stabilizers on shoots all spring. Below are my five best DSLR & mirrorless gimbals 2025—ranked for payload, features and value—so you can pick the perfect rig without guesswork.
