DJI RS 5 Combo Price in Kenya
The DJI RS 5 Combo price in Kenya is Ksh 100,000. While the standard RS 5 is a powerful tool, the RS 5 Combo is a complete production solution in a box. For an additional Ksh 15,000 over the base model, you gain three critical accessories that transform how you shoot: the RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module, the Electronic Briefcase Handle, and a dedicated Carrying Case.
This package is specifically curated for the solo videographer. The Tracking Module gives you an autonomous AI camera operator that keeps your subject in frame without you needing to touch the joystick. The Electronic Briefcase Handle isn’t just a grip; it plugs into the RSA port to give you full control over gimbal movement and recording while shooting in “underslung” mode—perfect for low-angle shots of walking feet or pets. Buy it today at Exelic Gadgets. This is the best-value professional gimbal kit currently on the market. Order now for same-day delivery within Nairobi or reliable next-day shipping via Wells Fargo/G4S to Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, and countrywide.
Why You’ll Love It (The Lifestyle Upgrade)
- The “Invisible Cameraman”: The included Intelligent Tracking Module locks onto subjects automatically, so that you can film yourself presenting or track a moving bride down the aisle with robot-like precision.
- Low-Angle Mastery: The Electronic Briefcase Handle allows you to hold the gimbal near the ground comfortably, so that you can get those dynamic “skater” shots without breaking your back.
- Full Control at Your Fingertips: Unlike cheap handles, the Electronic Handle has a joystick and buttons, so that you can adjust the camera angle and start recording even while holding the gimbal in briefcase mode.
- Travel Ready: It comes with a premium Carrying Case with custom-molded slots, so that you can throw the entire rig into your car trunk without worrying about the motors getting crushed.
- Native Vertical Shooting: Like the base model, it supports quick switching to vertical mode, so that you are ready for TikTok and Reels instantly.
- All-Day Power: The BG33 grip provides 14 hours of runtime, so that you can shoot a full wedding day on a single charge.

Deep Dive: The Combo Exclusive Tech
Autonomous Edge AI Tracking Architecture
The defining technological advantage of the RS 5 Combo is the inclusion of the RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module. Unlike previous generations that relied on a smartphone’s processor and the Ronin app to interpret visual data (ActiveTrack), this module is a standalone edge computing device. It houses a dedicated computer vision processor and a camera sensor within a tiny 19g chassis. This allows the system to process visual data locally with millisecond latency, sending pan and tilt commands directly to the gimbal’s motor drivers. The underlying algorithm utilizes deep learning models to distinguish human subjects, vehicles, and pets from complex backgrounds, maintaining a lock even if the subject is partially obscured or momentarily disappears, thanks to predictive trajectory logic known as “Subject Re-acquisition.”
Active Electronic Briefcase Control Interface
Standard briefcase handles are passive metal grips, but the Electronic Briefcase Handle included in the Combo is an active input device. It connects to the gimbal via the RSA/NATO port, utilizing a pin-based electrical interface to transmit control signals and receive power. This connection allows the handle’s integrated joystick, trigger, and function buttons to communicate directly with the gimbal’s central MCU (Microcontroller Unit). This tech enables “underslung” operation where the operator retains full control over camera orientation and recording status without needing to reach awkwardly for the main grip. The handle effectively acts as a secondary command center, vital for low-angle cinematography where maintaining ergonomic stability is physically demanding.
5th-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm & High-Torque Drivetrain
At the core of the system lies the 5th-Gen RS Stabilization Algorithm, a sophisticated software model designed to interpret sensor fusion data from the gimbal’s IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). This algorithm controls the new high-performance motors, which boast a 50% increase in peak torque compared to the RS 4. This torque headroom is critical not just for carrying heavier payloads (up to 3kg), but for resisting external forces like wind drag when shooting from a moving vehicle. The algorithm has been specifically tuned to dampen high-frequency vibrations and the Z-axis “bobbing” motion typical of walking shots, creating a “tripod-in-motion” effect that requires less post-production stabilization.
Teflon™-Coated Mechanics with Leadscrew Micro-Adjustment
The RS 5 Combo prioritizes rapid setup through advanced materials science and mechanical engineering. The axis arms are coated with Teflon™ (PTFE), a fluoropolymer known for its extremely low coefficient of friction. This coating eliminates the “stick-slip” phenomenon often encountered when balancing heavy cameras, allowing the arms to glide smoothly for precise positioning. Furthermore, the traditional sliding adjustment method has been augmented with a leadscrew-driven fine-tuning mechanism. This allows users to rotate a knob to shift the camera’s center of gravity by fractions of a millimeter, ensuring perfect static balance. This precision reduces the workload on the motors, directly translating to longer battery life and cooler operating temperatures.
High-Voltage 4S Power Architecture & PD Fast Charging
Powering the rig is the BG33 Battery Grip, which utilizes a high-voltage 4S (4-cell in series) LiPo configuration. Operating at a voltage range of 11.2V to 17.8V, this battery provides the necessary electromotive force to drive the high-torque motors efficiently. The battery management system (BMS) supports high-wattage Power Delivery (PD) protocols, enabling the 2150mAh capacity to recharge from 0% to 100% in just 1 hour. The BMS actively monitors cell temperature and voltage to prevent degradation during these rapid charge cycles, ensuring the grip retains its capacity over years of daily commercial use while delivering up to 14 hours of continuous runtime.
Native Vertical Switching & Wireless Connectivity
To address the dominance of vertical video platforms, the RS 5 employs a Native Vertical Shooting structural design. The horizontal mounting plate is detachable and can be mounted directly to the vertical arm’s dedicated port, aligning the camera’s optical center with the roll axis without the need for additional cages or counterweights. On the connectivity front, the gimbal features an integrated Dual-Mode Bluetooth module that pairs directly with the camera’s shutter interface. This bypasses the need for physical USB control cables, eliminating “cable drag”—mechanical resistance from wires that can disrupt the gimbal’s balance—while allowing for wireless control of recording and, on supported lenses, zoom functions.
Who Is This Perfect For?
- The Solo Wedding Filmmaker: You need the Tracking Module to keep the couple in focus while you are moving, and the Briefcase Handle for those low-angle walking shots down the aisle.
- The YouTuber/Vlogger: You film yourself. The tracking module allows you to set the gimbal on a tripod, mark yourself, and walk around the room while the camera follows you automatically.
- The Travel Videographer: You need a single, protected package (Carrying Case) that can fit in your backpack or carry-on.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q: Do I need a phone to use the Intelligent Tracking Module? A: No. That is the beauty of it. It is a standalone sensor. You operate it entirely from the gimbal’s touchscreen.
- Q: Can I detach the Briefcase Handle? A: Yes. It attaches via the NATO port. You can snap it on for low-angle shots and take it off for standard shooting in seconds. It also folds for storage.
- Q: Is the Carrying Case hard or soft? A: It is a semi-hard shell case. It offers excellent impact protection and has molded dividers to keep the gimbal and accessories from banging into each other.
- Q: Does the Combo include a Focus Motor? A: No. The RS 5 Combo includes the Tracking module, not the Focus motor. If you need to pull focus manually on manual lenses, you would need to buy the DJI Focus Pro Motor separately.
- Q: Will the tracking module work in the dark? A: It works best in well-lit environments (Illuminance > 20 lux). In pitch black, it may struggle to identify subjects compared to the more expensive LiDAR system on the RS 4 Pro.
