The sum is about 815 g. Caps and a microphone are not in that sum.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Why 2 kg and 1,000 g are not the same job<\/h3><p>DJI\u2019s tested payload on both Mini gimbals runs to 2 kg. ZHIYUN\u2019s maximum carry weight on the Crane M3S is 1,000 g. The kit fits both. A lens that pushes the rig past 1,000 g fits the DJI test and misses the Crane cap.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>What the 0.4 kg floor means<\/h3><p>Both DJI sheets start the tested payload at 0.4 kg. The body alone is 620 g, already above that floor. A phone-weight load is the case these gimbals are not aimed at.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Whether the missing viewfinder changes clearance<\/h3><p>Nikon\u2019s announcement describes a flat top with no viewfinder and a 3.2-inch vari-angle monitor. The monitor folds out to the side. Balance is still the camera plus lens weight, not an EVF hump.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>What the gimbal weight excludes<\/h3><p>DJI\u2019s 890 g and 795 g figures include the quick-release plate and exclude the grip or tripod. ZHIYUN\u2019s 705 g is the gimbal. Add the grip when the carrying weight matters.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>DJI RS 4 Mini<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 tested to 2 kg, and the 815 g kit fits.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=DJI+RS+4+Mini&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udc8e Best Value:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>DJI RS 3 Mini<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 the same 2 kg test, on a gimbal of about 795 g.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=DJI+RS+3+Mini&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n      <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udcb0 Budget Pick:<\/span>\n      <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>ZHIYUN Crane M3S<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 1,000 g maximum, enough for the kit zoom and not much more.<\/span><\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=ZHIYUN+Crane+M3S&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p class=\"verdict-summary\">The DJI RS 4 Mini is tested to 2 kg, and the 815 g Z5 IIC kit fits.
