HAFOKO RS3 Vertical Mount for DJI Ronin S3 1 plate

This vertical gimbal plate lets you switch to portrait shooting with fewer hassles and steadier balance, useful for social media clips, vertical interviews and product shots. It offers quick alignment and a secure locking system so you can change orientation smoothly and carry on filming with confidence.

Key Points

The mount adapts a full-frame camera to a Ronin series gimbal for longer vertical takes and more framing options. It includes a locking knob and a safety pin to keep the camera fixed once balanced, which helps prevent accidental shifts during extended shoots. The simple design aims for fast installation and re-levelling after the vertical plate is fitted. For many setups the change between horizontal and vertical orientation can be done rapidly, keeping workflow efficient on set. 📷

This accessory is lightweight and described by the manufacturer as made from aluminium CNC alloy, which reduces added mass while maintaining rigidity. Consider that you will need to remove the original camera mounting plate from the gimbal to install this vertical plate, and the process requires careful balancing afterwards according to the manufacturer.

Usage Recommendations

Install the vertical plate by first removing the gimbal’s original camera mounting plate, then attach and secure the new plate before rebalancing the camera. Work on a stable surface and make small adjustments while checking the roll and tilt axes to reach precise balance. For portrait-style interviews or vertical product reels, switch orientation between takes rather than during a continuous recording to preserve balance and avoid motor strain. 🛠️

If you frequently swap cameras or use heavy lenses, check the combined payload and balance carefully because an added plate changes the centre of gravity, and may require re-tuning of gimbal settings. Also note that while the plate is compatible with DJI RS 2 and RS 3 series according to the manufacturer, very large camera rigs could reach the gimbal’s payload limits and affect runtime or responsiveness.
