Tilta Float Overview

Create dramatic, smooth cinematic moves using your DJI RS 2 handheld gimbal without back or arm strain with the Float Handheld Gimbal Support System from Tilta. The Float system features an adjustable vest, stabilizer arm, adjustable gimbal extension post, wireless thumb controller, wireless receiver module, V-mount battery plate, monitor bracket, power and control cables, smartphone mounting bracket, tool kit, and a carry case to store and transport the entire system.

The Float system supports an RS 2 gimbal rig up to 22 lb, and it mounts onto the extension post. The post can extend from 19.6 to 39.4" for just the right height for your shot, and it mounts onto the stabilizer arm. The stabilizer arm supports approximately 31.5" of up and down movement to keep the stabilizer even steadier. The stabilizer arm mounts on the adjustable vest that fits waists from 23.6 to 47.2" around to create comfortable support and take the load off your back and arms.

The V-mount battery plate mounts onto the rig and allows you to power accessories and your gimbal via the system's extension post using a single, optional high-capacity battery and the included power cable. The wireless thumb controller mounts onto the rig so you can control the gimbal's movement without needing to be close to the gimbal. It connects to the receiver via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi from up to 229' away (line-of-sight) and features a shoe mount so it can mount onto a handle or other rigging. The included smartphone mount allows you to add a smartphone to control your gimbal as well as preview the image, and the monitor bracket allows you to add an optional monitor to your rig.

Optional accessories are also available separately, such as an RS battery counterweight bracket, TB50 battery plate, and bottom counterweight bracket.

Tilta Float Reviews

High Effort, High Reward

I shot a documentary over five years with the Tilta Float and an FX3 being my primary setup for three of those years. The first two days I had the Tilta Float I was really nervous I had wasted my money. It was very difficult to manage the various aspects of the rig. However, I eventually caught the hang of it. The last year we shot using the Tilta Float we pushed it really hard with mods. We increased the battery capacity and changed the balancing, went over the weight rating, and had to replace some components that were not up to the task. The rig still performed beautifully. We ended up shooting the last year on an FX6 with a Steadicam Axis, which was more dependable but over twice the weight. I think the Tilta Float holds up great here in 2026. I can imagine new FX5 owners falling in love with this rig..if they have the patience and persistence to stick with it!

Excellent, but needs some bugs patched

Everyone else covered all the good stuff, of which the float has in spades, so I will just mention...the base needs a full redesign. There is no way to achieve dynamic balance (I've heard poor reviews of their workaround products) and, more annoyingly, it is quite difficult to adjust on one axis, and the lever for the clamp is garbage. Thought it was clamped numerous times before having the batteries slide off. Other that that, if you are thinking of getting it, you can't beat the value they give you.

Asked by: Fabian
No, unfortunately the Tilta Float Handheld Gimbal Support System for DJI RS 2 (V-Mount) (BH# TIGSST01V) is designed to be used with the DJI RS 2 only and there is no adapter available for it.

The load capacity is 22lbs, but the weight appears to be incorrect. It should be the weight of the arm. Could you please check?
Asked by: Rajnesh
According to Tilta, the weight of the Tilta Float arm, from the Tilta Float Handheld Gimbal Support System for DJI RS 2 (V-Mount), is as follows: "Tilta Float System Arm Weight: 2.27kg", which would be about 5 lbs.

Does it adjust the balance if using a zoom lens, like a gimbal does?
Asked by: Derek
Yes it does. Photography lenses that physically get longer/shorter as you zoom in and out will shift the weight balance. Internally zooming lenses affect the balance to a much smaller degree. In general if you balanced the camera rig properly zooming in/out should not affect the gimbal enough to require rebalancing. The gimbals have some ability to compensate for being slightly out of balance thus zooming in/out should not present a problem (again if balanced properly).

What type of stand can be used to balance this ...

What type of stand can be used to balance this other than a C-stand? And the float comes with an adapter to sit on top?
Asked by: Tim
The Tilta Float Handheld Gimbal Support System for DJI RS 2 (V-Mount), features a 5/8" (babypin) mount, which will fit on a C-stand or most standard lighting stands. However, we would recommend a C-stand to hold the weight properly or another type of heavy duty light stand, such as a Matthews Light/Heavy Triple Riser Kit Stand (12.4'). https://bhpho.to/3gpFruD

Asked by: nathaniel
An iPad is not recommended for use with the Tilta Float Handheld Gimbal Support System for DJI RS 2 (V-Mount) as it most likely will not balance properly.

Asked by: Arthur
You can use the RS2 battery for power but you would have to rig it somewhere, whereas the Gold/V Mount plate is much easier to use.
