The DigitalFoto THANOS-SE Compact Tiltable Support Vest System is built for filmmakers working with heavier single-handle gimbal setups. Designed to transfer load from your arms to your core, it allows longer shooting sessions with improved control and reduced fatigue.

With support for rigs from 2 to 8 kg, the THANOS-SE goes beyond basic support systems by adding controlled tilt adjustment and a wider range of motion. The dual-arm design offers smoother handling, while adjustable tension helps fine-tune how the system responds to movement. Whether you’re capturing dynamic tracking shots or working on extended takes, this system gives you more stability, endurance, and creative flexibility.

Who this is for

• Filmmakers using mid to heavy gimbal setups
• Operators shooting long takes or continuous movement
• Event and documentary shooters needing endurance and stability
• Solo creators wanting more control without a full stabilisation rig

Component breakdown

Support vest
The vest features a metal breastplate and padded straps with multiple adjustment points. It distributes weight across your body, reducing arm strain and improving comfort during longer shoots. Designed to fit chest sizes up to 48.4" and waist sizes up to 51.1".

Dual spring arm
The tension-adjustable arm system supports heavier gimbals while smoothing movement. By tuning the tension, you can balance support and responsiveness depending on your shooting style.

Tilt and movement control
The system allows up to 20° of tilt and independent left/right tilt up to 190°, along with 360° rotation. This gives greater flexibility for creative angles and dynamic camera moves without repositioning your body.

Mounting system and adapters
Compatible with handles between 1.57" and 1.8" in diameter, or via a 1/4"-20 mount using the included adapter. The round baseplate ensures compatibility with larger grip designs such as the DJI RS 5.

Why choose this system

Compared to lighter support vests, the THANOS-SE is designed for heavier payloads and more demanding shooting. The added tilt functionality expands your shot options, while the adjustable arm tension helps you dial in the feel of the rig. It’s a strong choice when handheld operation alone becomes limiting, but a full stabilisation rig would slow you down.

Ideal uses

• Cinematic tracking shots with heavier setups
• Commercial and narrative production
• Event coverage with extended operating time
• Run-and-gun filmmaking with larger cameras
• Dynamic movement shots requiring tilt control
