Which accessories does the DJI RS 4 Pro need?

The specification points at a battery.

The DJI RS 4 Pro

What to buy

This page carries affiliate links. A purchase pays this account a commission, at no extra cost to you.

Battery

A DJI RS BG30 grip, 1950 mAh, or the BG70 at 4800 mAh

The BG30 runs about 12 hours and comes in the box. The BG70 runs about 29 hours, and it is the one worth buying for a long shoot.

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 4 Pro, not to the gimbal.

A memory card

The DJI RS 4 Pro records nothing itself. The card goes in the camera it carries.
