New DJI RS 5 delivers intelligent tracking support, enhanced balancing and improved charging efficiency for professional creators
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XTI Aerospace, Inc. (Nasdaq: XTIA) ("XTI" or the "Company"), an aerospace technology company focused on building and scaling its newly acquired subsidiary, Drone Nerds, LLC ("Drone Nerds"), and its comprehensive unmanned aircraft system ("UAS") platform for enterprise and government customers, today announced the expansion of Drone Nerds' gimbal portfolio with the addition of the DJI RS 5 gimbal stabilizer.
The DJI RS 5 builds on Drone Nerds' existing lineup of professional gimbal solutions, introducing support for enhanced intelligent tracking and composition, refined stabilization performance, and improved power efficiency in a compact platform designed to support modern content creation workflows.
"The RS 5 introduces capabilities that address real-world production needs," said Jeremy Schneiderman, CEO of Drone Nerds. "Features such as intelligent tracking support and improved charging efficiency give professional creators greater flexibility across a wide range of video scenarios."
Optimized for Modern Production Needs
The RS 5 supports the DJI RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module, enabling users to select and track subjects directly from the gimbal's touchscreen when paired with the module. The system supports tracking of people, vehicles, and pets, helping maintain consistent framing during dynamic shots. Increased peak motor torque and DJI's fifth-generation RS stabilization algorithm enhance performance in fast-moving scenes.
Designed for portability without sacrificing capability, the DJI RS 5 supports payloads of up to 6.6 pounds (3 kilograms) and is compatible with a wide range of mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations. Fine-tuning knobs and Teflon™-enhanced interlayers enable smooth balancing, while second-generation automated axis locks streamline setup, transport, and storage.
Power enhancements include a one-hour full charge capability when used with a compatible 65W PD charger and the DJI RS BG33 Battery Grip. The RS 5 is also compatible with the DJI RS BG70 High-Capacity Battery Grip.
The electronic briefcase handle provides integrated joystick and button controls for single-handed gimbal and camera operation, supporting creative low-angle and mobile cinematography techniques. Additional features include native vertical formatting without rebalancing and expanded Bluetooth shutter support for select Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras.
Availability
The DJI RS 5 gimbal stabilizer is now available through Drone Nerds' online store atdronenerds.com.
