The DigitalFoto THANOS Support Vest with Spring Arm is designed to make handheld gimbal work more comfortable and controlled. By transferring weight from your arms to your waist and back, it reduces fatigue and helps maintain steadier shots over longer shooting sessions.

Built around an adjustable vest and a triple-jointed aluminium spring arm, the system supports single-handle gimbals up to 5 kg. It smooths vertical movement and minimises bounce, giving you more usable footage without the strain of handheld operation. The included adapters and baseplate ensure compatibility with a wide range of gimbals, making this a practical support solution for solo operators and small crews.

Who this is for

• Filmmakers using handheld gimbals for extended periods
• Event, wedding, and documentary shooters
• Solo operators needing extra stability without a full rig
• Content creators working on the move

How it works

Support vest
The adjustable vest uses clasps and hook-and-loop straps to fit different body sizes securely. It spreads the load across your core, reducing arm strain and improving endurance during long shoots.

Spring arm
The aluminium spring arm features three joints, allowing smooth movement in multiple directions while supporting the weight of your gimbal. This helps maintain fluid motion without restricting operation.

Clamp and mounting system
A locking clamp secures your gimbal handle, while included adapters accommodate different handle sizes. The round baseplate ensures compatibility with larger grip designs such as the DJI RS 5.

Sliding rail with scale
The arm mounts to a vertical rail with a metric scale, making it easier to balance your setup and return to consistent positions between shoots.

Why choose this system

Compared to purely handheld operation, the THANOS vest significantly reduces fatigue and improves shot consistency. It offers a simpler, more portable alternative to full stabilisation rigs, while still giving meaningful support and smoother vertical movement. It’s especially useful when you need mobility but can’t compromise on stability or endurance.
