Which accessories does the DJI RS 3 Mini need?

The DJI RS 3 Mini needs none of the usual three.

What to skip

An ND filter

A gimbal carries your own camera, so a filter belongs to the lens you mount on the DJI RS 3 Mini, not to the gimbal.

A spare battery

The battery in the DJI RS 3 Mini does not come out, so a spare is not an option. Carry a power bank instead, and charge between setups. It charges in 2.5 hours.

A memory card

The DJI RS 3 Mini records nothing itself. The card goes in the camera it carries.
