Do You Really Need To Upgrade Your Gimbal? DJI RS3 Pro vs. Original Ronin S

Camera gimbals are incredible tools and the technology just gets better each year, but how necessary is it to upgrade to the latest model if you’ve already got a gimbal that’s a few generations behind? This video compares the original DJI Ronin S to the updated RS3 Pro to see if the upgrade is worth the price.

I owe a huge thanks to ‪@PeterLindgren1‬ for letting me borrow his RS3 Pro to compare with my original Ronin S. My video is less of an in-depth review and more of an overview of when/if an upgrade is worth it. For a full RS3 Pro review, check out Peter's video:    • This is NOT Just A Gimbal... | DJI RS...
