DJI RS 5 Combo | 3kg Payload | 5th-Gen Stabilization | 14-Hour Battery | AI Tracking
Handheld cinema gimbal for mirrorless shooters — touchscreen subject framing, Teflon-coated arms, briefcase grip, and rapid PD recharging, available now in Nairobi CBD
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The DJI RS 5 Combo is now available at Mascom International for KSh 96,000, sold new and complete at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This three-axis camera gimbal holds mirrorless and DSLR rigs up to 3 kilograms, runs the 5th-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm, and charges fully in about one hour with a 65W USB-C PD charger. The DJI RS 5 Combo adds two parts the base model leaves out: the RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module and the Electronic Briefcase Handle. Together they let you frame a subject from the touchscreen and shoot low-angle moves single-handed.
Kenyan videographers, wedding and event filmmakers, YouTubers, and real estate content creators buy the DJI RS 5 Combo to cut shaky handheld footage down to steady, gliding motion. Many creators in Nairobi still fight camera shake during walk-and-talk shots, reception coverage in Karen, or property walkthroughs in Runda and Kileleshwa. The DJI RS 5 Combo solves this by carrying the camera weight on motorised axes that cancel out your footsteps. Its tracking module keeps a moving person centred, which frees solo shooters from needing a second operator behind the monitor.
Unlike most electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you handle the DJI RS 5 Combo, balance a real camera on it, and test the tracking before you pay. Users consistently report that the fine-tuning knobs make balancing faster than older Ronin gimbals, and that one-hour charging removes the long downtime between shoots. At Mascom International, we are seeing steady demand from Kenya's growing wedding-film and short-form video scene. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to test the DJI RS 5 Combo, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties.
Common Questions About the DJI RS 5 Combo Gimbal
Is the DJI RS 5 Combo worth KSh 96,000 in Kenya's market?
Yes, for anyone earning from video, the DJI RS 5 Combo pays for itself quickly at KSh 96,000. It carries cameras up to 3 kilograms, so it fits most Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Fujifilm mirrorless bodies with a mid-range zoom. The Combo bundle includes the tracking module and briefcase handle that DJI sells separately, so buying the kit costs less than the base gimbal plus those two parts bought later. Wedding and event videographers in Nairobi recover the cost inside a few paid shoots through steadier, more sellable footage.
What cameras does the DJI RS 5 Combo support?
The DJI RS 5 Combo supports mirrorless and DSLR cameras weighing up to 3 kilograms once mounted. That covers common setups like a Sony A7 series body with a 24-70mm f/2.8, plus similar kits from Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Fujifilm. Heavier cinema rigs above 3 kilograms need a larger gimbal such as the RS 4 Pro instead. Balance the camera on the Arca-Swiss upper plate, tighten the fine-tuning knobs, and the gimbal holds it level. Check DJI's Ronin compatibility list to confirm your exact camera and lens combination before mounting.
How does the tracking module on the DJI RS 5 Combo work?
The RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module snaps onto the gimbal magnetically and shows the tracking view right on the 1.8-inch touchscreen. You tap a person, vehicle, or pet on screen, and the gimbal keeps that subject framed as they move, within a range of about 10 metres. If the person briefly leaves the frame, the module reacquires them within roughly two seconds. This matters for solo creators across Kenya shooting walk-and-talk pieces, product reviews, or sports clips without a camera operator. The module comes included in the Combo, not the base kit.
How long does the DJI RS 5 Combo battery last?
DJI rates the included BG33 battery grip at about 14 hours of standby time on a full charge, a 15% gain over the RS 4. A full recharge takes roughly one hour using a 65W USB-C PD charger, so you can top up over a lunch break between two shoots. Actual filming time runs shorter than standby time, depending on motor load and how heavy your camera is. For long shoot days, DJI's optional BG70 grip stretches standby time to around 30 hours. Carry a Safaricom or Airtel power bank for upcountry shoots without wall power.
What is the difference between the DJI RS 5 Combo and the base RS 5?
The core gimbal is the same in both; the DJI RS 5 Combo simply adds two accessories. The base RS 5 ships with the gimbal, BG33 battery grip, quick-release plates, tripod, and lens support only. The Combo adds the RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module for on-screen subject selection and the Electronic Briefcase Handle for single-handed low-angle shooting. If you shoot solo and need tracking, the Combo saves money versus buying those two parts later. If you already own a compatible tracking module, the base kit may suit you better.
Can beginners use the DJI RS 5 Combo?
Yes, though every gimbal has a short learning curve for balancing. The DJI RS 5 Combo makes setup easier than older models through fine-tuning knobs on each axis and Teflon-coated arms that slide smoothly. New users should budget an hour to learn balancing and the touchscreen menus. Once balanced, the automated axis locks let you fold and unfold the gimbal in about two seconds. Mascom International staff can walk you through your first balance in-store on Kimathi Street, so you leave knowing how to set it up correctly.
How does the DJI RS 5 Combo compare to the RS 4?
The DJI RS 5 Combo raises peak motor torque by 50% over the RS 4, giving steadier shots when you run, change direction fast, or fight wind. It runs the newer 5th-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm, tuned for walking, running, and vertical shooting. Charging is 60% faster at one hour, and standby time rises 15% to about 14 hours. The RS 5 also adds a Z-axis indicator that shows vertical bounce so you can smooth your steps. Both carry the same 3-kilogram payload, so RS 4 owners upgrade mainly for tracking, torque, and faster charging.
Is the DJI RS 5 Combo good for vertical and social media video?
Yes, the DJI RS 5 Combo is built for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts creators in Kenya. Its 3rd-Gen Native Vertical Shooting lets you switch a mounted camera from landscape to portrait in seconds, without rebalancing the pan and tilt axes. You loosen one knob, rotate the plate 90 degrees, and lock it back. The tracking module keeps you centred for talking-head clips, and the briefcase handle lets you grab low or dynamic angles single-handed. For short-form creators shooting daily content around Nairobi, this speed matters more than raw payload.
