THANOS-SE Gimbal Support Vest System with Tiltable Arm

The DigitalFoto THANOS-SE is a compact support vest system designed to make handheld gimbal operation more comfortable and controlled. By transferring weight from your arms to your body, it allows you to shoot for longer periods while maintaining smoother movement.

Designed for single-handle gimbals, the system supports setups from 4.4 to 17.6 lb and introduces controlled tilt and rotation for more dynamic camera movement. The adjustable spring arm reduces vertical vibration, while the tiltable design expands your shooting range beyond standard handheld operation.

Why choose this product

Handheld gimbal operation can quickly become physically demanding, especially during longer takes. The THANOS-SE reduces fatigue while improving control, making it easier to maintain consistent shots. Its tilting and rotation capabilities also extend what’s possible with a standard gimbal, opening up more creative movement without switching to larger stabilisation systems.
