Product Information

Full details

The Tilta Float Gimbal Support System is a professional-grade stabilization rig designed for videographers using DJI RS 2 and RS 3 Pro gimbals who need to capture smooth, cinematic movement for extended periods without fatigue. By utilizing a support vest and a spring-loaded stabilization arm, the system offloads the weight of the gimbal setup from the operator's arms to their torso, significantly increasing stamina during long shoots. One caveat is that the system requires a learning curve for proper balancing and adjustment to suit individual body types and specific camera payload configurations.

FAQs

Does this support gimbals other than the DJI RS 2 or RS 3 Pro?

While optimized for DJI RS 2 and RS 3 Pro, the modular nature and universal mounting points allow for potential compatibility with other systems, though wireless control features are specific to DJI.

Can I use this for low-angle shots?

Yes, the modular design allows for quick re-configuration to operate the gimbal in a low-angle orientation by adjusting the post and arm setup.

What is the primary benefit of the spring-loaded arm?

The arm acts as a fourth axis of stabilization, which removes vertical jitter caused by the operator's footsteps.

Is the vest adjustable for different body sizes?

Yes, the vest features an ergonomic design that is highly adjustable to fit a wide range of body types securely.

How do I power my camera using this system?

The system features a V-mount battery plate and dedicated power cabling that can supply power to both the gimbal and your camera setup simultaneously.

Is the system heavy to carry?

The system uses carbon fiber and aluminum to remain as light as possible, though it adds weight to your person; however, the vest design makes this weight feel significantly lighter by transferring it to your hips and torso.

Troubleshooting

Gimbal is tilting or leaning during movement

Check that the stabilization arm springs are adjusted to the correct weight tension for your specific camera payload.

Wireless controller is not responding

Ensure the Wireless Control Receiver Module is correctly seated and the communication protocol is enabled in the DJI gimbal settings.

Excessive vertical vibration in footage

Verify that you are walking with a 'ninja walk' (bent knees) and that the stabilization arm is properly balanced against the total weight of the rig.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces operator arm fatigue
  • Superior fourth-axis stabilization
  • Modular design allows for quick transitions between high and low modes
  • Robust build quality using carbon fiber and aluminum
  • Flexible power supply options

Cons

  • Requires significant time to master initial balance
  • Heavier total kit weight when fully loaded
  • Large footprint during transportation
  • Setup process is more complex than handheld gimbal use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Tilta Float involves calibrating the spring tension on the arm to match the weight of your camera and gimbal package. Start by fitting the vest to your torso, ensuring it is snug but comfortable, then connect the gimbal post to the arm. Always ensure the V-mount battery is securely clicked into the plate before powering on your gimbal.

Compatibility is focused on the DJI RS 2 and RS 3 Pro series, utilizing the included power supply base plate for seamless integration. When not in use, ensure you store the carbon fiber post in its dedicated slot within the carrying case to avoid accidental impacts. Regularly inspect the NATO rail connections and cable ports for dust, and wipe down the aluminum components with a dry, microfiber cloth after working in humid or dusty environments.
