The DJI RS 5 gimbal has been debuted as the brand's latest entry in its Ronan series that's engineered to optimize videography capabilities for enhanced creator capabilities. The gimbal is equipped with the brand's RS Intelligent Tracking Module that will enable the user to track any subject in frame with a tap on the unit's touchscreen to eliminate the use of the integrated joystick. The system will keep the focus tracked on the subject up to 33-feet away with compatibility for people, but also pets, vehicles and more.

The DJI RS 5 gimbal also features a new motor rated to achieve a 50% higher torque than the previous generation to accommodate for sudden movements. The gimbal will work with cameras from [Sony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a7r-v), [Canon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subjecttracking-4k-camera), [Nikon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/falcam-tagbatt) and more to support content creators of all kinds.
