*Free shipping does not apply for this item* The Tilta Float System works in conjunction with the DJI RS 2 and RS3 Pro to provide a small, compact camera stabilizer system to allow you to accomplish smooth cinematic camera movements with smaller camera setups.
The counterweight-based post provides further stabilization for your setup beyond what the gimbal is already doing to allow for the smoothest possible free flowing camera movement imaginable.
The spring-loaded arm and support vest design puts the weight of the rig onto your torso, allowing for longer operating times before the user gets fatigued.
The included Wireless Thumb Controller allows you to wirelessly control the Ronin as well as a Nucleus M or Nucleus Nano follow focus motor.
This unit is designed to be mounted to the yoke of your Tilta Float via the system’s Monitor Bracket.
The Controller powers via Go Pro 5-8 Batteries and features a USB-C port that can be used for future firmware updates. Please note we do not recommend powering the unit via this port.
The included Lower Back Support and Single Shoulder Strap provides additional weight distribution ensuring comfortable operation over any duration. Multiple power options provide more flexibly when powering the Ronin. The system can power the gimbal via Gold Mount, V-Mount, TB50, or the Battery Handle itself via optional accessories.
*The Float is compatible with any gimbal under the weight limit that can mount via 1/4″-20 threads and can power via 2 Pin Lemo or an internal battery, however, it can only wirelessly control the RS2 and RS3 Pro
* **The Float does not have power outputs other than the 2 Pin Lemo designed for powering the RS2**
***The Internal Post Cable can handle 14.8V and 3A with maximum ability to handle 6A***
RS3/RS3 Pro: The M Key is NOT able to mimic the function of the gimbal. The M Key on this unit can ONLY change the Mode setting. It is NOT recommended to use gimbals larger than what could be classified as “handheld” such the Movi Pro. Even if the total weight is under 10kg, the system will have trouble supporting gimbals physically larger than the DJI Ronin RS Series gimbals.
Fantastic feel and almost intuitive to use. Very ergonomic.
This is my first stabilizer. I researched it from the time it came out before I made a decision. It is very well made! It took a bit of experimenting to figure out what side I wanted the arm to be on as I am right handed, I figured that was were it should be but found the inverse worked much better. As for balancing, where the hell do you get a stand? I must be calling it the wrong thing as I can’t seem to get any results in a search.
So I tried some various tests to see how this thing reacted. I was very impressed that I could walk up and down a flight of stairs with practically no bounce! I have a Ronin 1, which I still love and an RS2. This is going to save my shoulders!
Now to the flaw: there is a supplied back extension to support the weight on the upper back. The only problem is that it covers an area about the size of one vertebra and puts a LOT of pressure on that resting point. I would suggest increasing the size of this pad and giving it a bit of a curve to conform to the spine. The reason being that the fastening point of the arm creates torque at the center point of the back of the vest, forcing more leverage on the extender. If the back rest were larger, the weight could be distributed over a larger area resulting in less pounds per square inch. I will be making one out of carbon fiber and then of course covering one side with foam.
All that aside, I’m really going to enjoy this thing!
System looks very well made but from a former Steadicam operator this doesn¡¯t look like a total replacement. Still a little strange to navigate but it looks like it will do the job.
Ok, just working with this rig, but love what this can do. The new mod for additional balance, is a plus. Build quality excellent!
Good 1st generation system from Tilta but some key improvements would make this much better.
First, the support cushion that goes into the small of your back puts so much undo pressure into your lower spine which causes you to not be able to carry the weight for extended periods of time. They really need a shoulder harness of some sort instead to be able to take up the forward load of the system. As it stands now, all the load goes right into your lower back. I have no Idea how they couldn¡¯t catch this when they designed the system and I caught it right on my first day using the system. Huge oversight to say the least since weight and load distribution is key for a camera carrying rig.
Second, they need to have the weight distribution of the batteries on the bottom of the post to be further away from the center of mass. Having the batteries right on the post and not further away, allows for the post to yaw left and right too easily. Just look at any good Steadicam system and you¡¯ll understand why the weight is distributed further away from the post. Having the weight further away allows for the inertia to keep the system from unintentionally yawing.
Third, the counter weight bracket should also come standard with the kit. There is no way to dynamically balance the rig at all angles like the Arri trinity without this swinging weight to offset the balance at different angles.
Forth, I¡¯m a tall guy but the Belt-Vest barely gets around my waist. I¡¯m 6??240 pounds. Maybe I just need to lose a bit of weight. This belt will not fit guys who are bigger with a belly.
And last but not least. Have a quick release system, and dynamic adjustments for the spring arm. Having to constantly trial and error the position of the arm to the belt is such a time killer on set. A tried and true socket block like all the other Steadicam systems the only way to go. Not sure who decided that this slow backwards method was the way forward in the year 2021.
If you guys can sort out these very fundamental details that are a necessity, you¡¯ll have a winning system on your hands.
The quality of parts is absolutely top notch. Now let¡¯s get the fundamentals to match so you can kill the game!
