DigitalFoto Solution Limited ARES Overview

The DigitalFoto ARES Dual-Spring Handle is compatible with the DJI RS 2, RS 3, RS 3 Pro, RS 4 Pro, and RS 5 gimbals, as well as select Zhiyun-Tech Crane gimbals. It converts your single-hand operated gimbal with a handle diameter of 1.6 to 1.8" into a dual-handed gimbal, providing Z-axis/4th axis support. If your gimbal's handle diameter is smaller than 1.57", then you can mount the included round base to the ARES and mount your gimbal via a 1/4"-20 threaded screw. This conversion provides extended operating time as it helps prevent the operator from getting fatigued. In addition, the spring-loaded handles increase stability by up to 30% for smoother shots.

Made from lightweight yet strong aviation-grade aluminum alloy, the handles support your single-handed gimbal. It features an adjustable weight range supporting loads from 4 to 11 lb. The dual handles allow the same shooting options as single-handed operation, which means you can shoot normally or inverted. The ARES quickly disassembles for storage and transport.

Note:
As the battery grip base of the DJI RS5 gimbal is larger than that of previous DJI RS gimbal models, please note that the RS5 gimbal can only be mounted on the DigitalFoto Solution Limited Round Baseplate (included).
Compatibility
It is compatible with all single-handed gimbal stabilizers with a handle diameter of 0.8 to 2"
Key Features
  • Turn a 3-axis gimbal into a 4-axis gimbal, resulting in a 30% improvement in stability
  • Adjustable springs support from 4 to 11 pounds
  • A round baseplate allows for the attachment of gimbals with smaller diameters to the ARES if those gimbals have a 1/4"-20 mounting hole on their base
  • The 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes on top of each handle permit the attachment of accessories
  • The handles detach from the center bracket (Middle Connect Bridge), making it easy to store the ARES
  • The handles reattach quickly to the Middle Connect Bridge and are secured by thumbscrews
  • Each handle is secured by a locking lever and can rotate through 360°, so you can adjust both based on the needs of the shot
  • Each spring arm features a thumbscrew that allows you to adjust the arm's spring tension

DigitalFoto Solution Limited ARES Reviews

Works, I guess.

I have been doing gimbal work for real estate videos daily now for about 5 years. In that time technology has advanced in leaps and bounds and I have graduated to better and better cameras and gimbals / equipment as it has become available. The next step in gimbal technology in my mind is the Z axis. I was happy to discover this device just recently and excited to have received it and try it out. There are good and not so good things about this device. Yes, it can make a difference in taking out the bounce in long moving segments where you would like to do speed ramping. This seems to work well. However, without incorporating some other device to control the pitch of the gimbal (which I see may be available) it limits what you can do in a segment. I find myself reverting back to holding the gimbal handle and using the joystick more than 3/4 of the time, so in these instances the Z axis is useless, Also holding the gimbal at the higher default height I don't like and I feel is a bit limiting. Again I revert to not using the device. I wouldn't really care so much, jumping back and forth using it and then not, but the fact that it adds enough weight to my rig that it makes a video session physically uncomfortable (it adds noticeable weight) is enough for me to take the unit off completely. So, I have taken it off now. I don't know if I will put it back on truthfully, unless I have need to do a long walking segment that needs to be sped up in post.

Improves the up and down bounce

I seriously thought these were going to make my video stabilization worst because the handles are spring loaded and they bounce up and down as I was running. However, after playing back the footage, the video was smoother.

how much is max weight support range for each arm?
Asked by: Aleksandre
The only portion of this product that has a max weigh support is the center portion designed for holding a gimbal. The springs are designed to hold between 4 and 11 pounds. the arms do not have a listed weight capacity because accessories mounted on the arms do not affect the performance of the product.
