SmallRig Extended Vertical Arm for DJI RS 3 mini, Extension Mount Plate for DJI RS 3 Mini - 4196

I wanted this to use the S5II with the DJI RS3 mini stabilizer. It worked, I was able to stabilize the camera with cage and 20-60mm, but feels weird, like it is too much for the motors. I would recommend buying the RS3 instead of the mini version.

Great

My camera with a cage attached was too top-heavy to be balanced on the rs3 mini. This arm extends enough to lower gravity without hitting the motor. The only complaint is that I couldn't tighten the knob entirely by default, and it kept slipping. But it was a simple fix with a hex key.

Allows the RS3 mini to balance and use my Canon R5 with 24-70. Finally! Got the camermounting plate too, fast on and off.

A double checked that this would fit the RS three mini gimbal. It was extremely snug to slide on, but would not move once it was on the arm. It was extremely difficult if not almost impossible to remove and left huge scratches on the gimbal harm, practically friction welded itself onto the gimbal. Thumb lever lock looked like it was an Allen head, but the tool they gave you is a torx bit?

I recently added a cage to my camera and it made balancing more difficult because it made my camera more back heavy. The gimbal was still usable, but I couldn't get the balance perfect with my usual setup. This extended vertical arm solved the issue and the DJI balance tests states that all of the axes are 'excellent'. If anything, I wish the arm was slightly longer for even lighter lenses or even more back heavy setups. I wish DJI would have designed the RS3 Mini with the extended arm and the Smallrig quick release clamp (Smallrig 4195) from the get-go because it makes the gimbal much better and more convenient. I ordered the quick release clamp and it will make setup even faster. I would definitely recommend this extended vertical arm, especially if you're using a cage. It fixed my balance issue and now I can use my cage without worrying about it. UPDATE: I noticed that this arm is subject to slipping. It doesn't seem to slip when it's in use, but it slipped a bit when I was putting my camera on the gimbal one time. I tested it when locked and I can adjust it when it's locked. It doesn't happen with the original. This is a big issue...

I am using a front heavy lens but still well within the weight limits of the RS3 Mini. Many influencers mention this extended arm to help with balancing loads like mine. In order to get a good balance, I have to have the vertical arm pushed towards the back of the horizontal arm which makes the bottom of the vertical arm hit the rotation arm....that might be hard to follow so...see picture. This would likely be fixed if I removed the rubber covering that part of the arm which is why I'm giving this a 4 star instead of 3.

Added value to the gimbal and also easy to use. Love the product

Fonctionne très bien, juste le prix me fait retirer une étoile.

If you’ve ever tried to balance a full-frame camera with a large lens on the DJI RS 3 Mini, you know the frustration. The gimbal is powerful enough, but the original vertical arm is just a bit too short to get the center of gravity right. This is the "fix" we’ve all been waiting for.

Makes the RS3 mini usable with a microphone on top and smallrig cage.

Este brazo fue la salvación de mi gymbal la verdad. Con el de fábrica no podía calibrarlo como toca porque me hacía tope, ya que lo estaba usando al límite de peso y se me calentaban los motores y se gastaba la batería muy rápido. En cambio, este brazo más largo de SMALLRIG me permitió calibrarlo a la perfección y apurar más el peso límite sin que sufra nada.

Good but cost is very high
