'How to build your Tilta Float in 7039 easy steps!' Just kidding, looks absolutely amazing guys. The video community has been waiting for this for ages and someone's finally done it. I already have the RS2.. now I just need to find 1200 euros somewhere for the Float
This is exactly what I was waiting for! Tilta knocked it out of the park, I love the engineering that went into this, the arm is awesome thanks for making it look like a futuristic piece of equipment, the carbon fiber post and all the different balance adjustments is pretty amazing, cudos to Tilta. For making me look professional! Without braking the bank.
No you haven’t. When you turn with long side then you have less torque but more speed. When you turn with short side you have more torque than speed. So you can first use long side to get the bolt in quick then use short side to tighten.
Hi Nico, I'm from Belgium as well, may I ask where you ordered your float? I haven't found any resellers here, or did you order it from the US, and if so, how much does it cost extra to get one here?
There's a lot of interest in this product in the UK and i presume worldwide as well. We're still waiting for the demo units to be delivered although with shipping costs and time, it may be a while. It'll be interesting to see a proper demo of this unit showing all the different shots that it can get however there's going to be a lot of practice involved by the user to get those moves down pat!!!!
Gopro batteries are a quiet excellent move to be honest. With the old 18650 batteries like in the Nucleus series, the problem was availability due to shipping explosive goods, as well as charging via usb due to the need of more power. Gopro batteries on the other hand are pretty easy to get and distributed very well and you can get them in nearly every electronic store.
I'm still waiting for my Tilta BMPCC 4k Flip Screen For almost a Year now. Tilta doesn't seem to be prioritizing the people paying money for these products
@@CallMeRabbitzUSVI it's just they don't really care about people outside of China as they need to fill their Chinese order queue first, same like other Chinese company, they got lot of trouble when they try to sell their cheaper products to other Country, like US. Their product speed is stunning, but the time cost from China to US is extremely long, and the time cost from US warehouse to your front door is even longer, because we alll know how slow that everything works in US. a good example will be USPS, took 2 and half month to ship a lens cap to my front door.
Ordered as well. I have a feeling we won't be seeing these in the wild for a while. Still waiting on some of the earlier stuff from a November order. :(
The Float only includes a mount for the RS2, but you can theoretically use any gimbal as long as you have a way to mount it via 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads and have a way to power it through a 2 Pin Lemo!
@@AnimeZone247 Then make it for half the price lol. Why are you complaining? This is literally utilizing RS2 and its functionality with RavenEye so you're not running 5 feet cords to an external monitor...
How long can the Velcro last on the belt? Also will the rosette mount easily worn out after numbers of use? Can the rosette really handle the weight of the arm and stabilizer?
If they made this including the batteries and an external monitor and lowered the price a bit it would be the end all to all gimbals. As of now you can build this same rig with the rs2 and flycam’s galaxy vest and redking and have the rig break down into individual other rigs.
@@onefingerproduction3180 Run a flexible/thin HDMI cable from the Pocket and custom mount monitor to the usual spot. You could probably split signal too with Blackmagic micro converter to have a personal monitor and RavenEye for client monitor.
I cannot get the thumb controller to control the focus dial on the RS2, what am I doing wrong? it is capable to pan and tilt, but when I turn the dial, nothing happens
Hello, for your demonstration, to put you the translation activation under title in the UA-cam configuration. Or have a French version of Yuotube subtitle Thank you in advance.
When this was getting hyped duting the momentum production video days. I knew someone had to bring this out.titla great job man.. but the question is how am I gonna buy this. No money at all
The Float only includes a mount for the RS2, but you can theoretically use any gimbal as long as you have a way to mount it via 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads and have a way to power it through a 2 Pin Lemo!
Possibly, but there is no set word on anything like this at the moment! The Float can be used with any camera or gimbal that connects with 1/4"-20 threads, powers internally or via 2 Pin Lemo and stays under the 10kg weight limit!
ugh... just at step 2 (attaching battery plate to the post) and doesn't work. It is not the same piece on my battery plate. Can anyone help with that? Thanks
The Thumb Controller is only compatible with the RS2, but the Float itself is compatible with any gimbal that can mount via 1/4"-20 and power by 2 Pin Lemo or internally so yes the Crane 3S Pro will work!
Hi there. I have a controller that come with the tilta float system, but it seems to not work with my brand new rs3 pro. Is there a way to change that via firmware update? Or i have to buy a new unit? In the info says RS2 Version 1.6

@@marcotestani7589 hope so. The old tilta steadycam vest fitted pretty nice and was the best I ever used. 5 days of shooting straight with no pain. Hope this design is like the beltpart on the old one.
Dear Tilta team. On the next days I´m going to purchase the Moza Aircross 2 gimbal + Moza Slypod E monopod slider. Is there an option to pair the Aircross 2 with this Tilta Float?
Unfortunately not at the moment, we hope to be able to sell parts of the float individually for use with other gimbals in the future if they are not able to be adapted to it.
@@jennahuskisson3335 I will be waiting for the adapter. Most users don´t necessarily work with DJI products, we will be glad if you release in the future some adapters for other gimbal models.
i have preordered my float system in december last year, it arrived two weeks ago. its working fine when using lightweight cameras like dslrs. but i still havn't figured out how to ballance heavier cameras like zcam or red komodo. would like to know how to mount the nato rail cross bars as well. there are very few pictures on the web and no manual at all and it is not demonstrated in the video
This may be a stupid question, but is the Nato rail on the bottom supposed to be in the kit. I've gotten to the part in the tutorial where you connect the vmount plate with a mini tripod on one side and then connect the pole to the top of the Vmount plate with a nato rail. But the Vmount plate that came in mine has a female nato rail receptor on the top. And the bottom of the rod has a female NATO rail receptor on the bottom. So, it's trying to connect a female NATO receiver to a female NATO receiver. It's almost like there's supposed to be some kind of double NATO rail device that lives between the bottom of the rod and the top of the Vmount plate. But I don't see anything else in the case that would serve that purpose. Am I missing a part that is supposed to connect the top of the Vmount plate to the bottom of the pole? Or, is there something obvious that I'm just missing?
@@ReadySetGoPictures cute. For someone who does research first before making a invested purchase is important. My concern is the SDI cable to the monitor and replacing the phone. If Tilta would like sponsor me with Gimbal I could try it and explain how sufficient it works in the professional cinema realm.
@@JeanLondonDia not sure why "cute" was in there. Typo? Yea I get that. I want a ptap as well as 2pin at the top. Looks like they're intentionally limiting the product to drive sales for their raven thing (not supporting accessories easily makes them sell their own accessories). Ill have to look at the 2pin power capabilities. Not sure why they have dual batteries but are plugging into power into just one. Makes me think its not running dual batteries.The system is like 95% there, but the 5% that its missing is crucial. Haha yea don't know if that would happen man (them sending products). Probably not going to be used in the "professional cinema realm". steadicam days are usually designed around the steadicam move, essentially meaning its their A-cam. Cinema realm isn't using a komodo as their A-cam. Higher end commercials, documentaries, shorts, etc, for sure. Cinema, probably not.
@@ReadySetGoPictures the reply was obvious, “so buy it and use it?” Moving forward Red Raven is being discontinued if I’m not mistaken. I personally use the Red Komodo for fashion, beauty, and editorial commercial work. I am currently using the Red Komodo without the BP 955 batteries and balancing it on the RS2. The Dtap capabilities allows me to do so through 3rd party batteries. I think it would be a great opportunity to show the range of things you could do with the product with the range of production you are looking to achieve. As products are becoming cheaper, this leaves limitless opportunities for creativity from DSLRs to Cinema cameras. From social media content to short films and even maybe featured films. If you have the creative mind to make it happen it can. I look forward to see how I could utilize this tool in my workflow to create amazing work. Outside of that closed mouths don’t get fed.
@@JeanLondonDia Yea the raven got discontented a year or so ago, they definitely phased it out prior to the discontinuation, and the komodo is better as well IMO. Awesome man, its a powerful setup. Absolutely. Ive used two Komodos on features already as additional cameras. They're great for cutaways and any light weight rigs, I don't think they'll replace A-Cams anytime soon, but they're a powerful tool. Red has dropped a lot of bombs the past few years. The Komodo is a great win. I can't wait to see where they go with it. Lightweight cameras means faster setups and use with less cumbersome gimbals (ie rs2 vs movi)
This is compatible with any gimbal that mount via 1/4"-20 and power via 2 Pin Lemo or internally! It doesn't look like the Benro XD Pro will work, but it may be adaptable! You will need to confirm this with Benro
Good day! Can you help me, please. When I use Tilta Float, the vest puts a lot of pressure on the back, it is very uncomfortable to work. Is this normal or maybe I'm using it wrong?
The Phone Clamp supports devices with a maximum height of 92mm so you could use this with a monitor as long as you had a power and video signal solution!
The body support/vest is where this system fails. Putting the wieight on the waist and only 1 shoulder strap is going to cause back problems, trust me.
Got mine yesterday. If you're a big guy like me, the vest won't even go round your waist. If you try and support this with tactical belts, it's a lottery. If you attach the arm the whole setup will tilt forward, screw up the balance of the arm and place such pressure into your back, you won't last even 3 minutes. It's a major, major issue. Can't recommend a purchase of this at all, even though the gimbal and the arm is fantastic quality. The vest/belt is literally the backbone of the system and it fails incredibly.
Is there a way to supply power to a RED Komodo from the sled? Or do you recommend using Canon BP batteries on the body? Can I mount a monitor/transmitter to the monitor bracket?
Yes! We'd recommend out Power Passthrough Plate for RS2! You can use any cold shoe mount with the Float meaning you could mount an external monitor with a more traditional cold shoe to 1/4"-20 adapter: tilta.com/shop/battery-plate-to-rs-2-power-pass-through-plate-kit/ tilta.com/shop/tiltaing-adjustable-cold-shoe-accessory-mounting-bracket/
@@TILTA they told me at CVP in London that there is no way to mount the Tilta Float to the Crane 3 so we had to go for the Thanos II in the end. Pity I really wanted the Tilta Float. I did not manage to convince them otherwise, I could not find any videos of the Crane 3 being used on the Tilta Float!
The Float will be back in stock for regular purchasing shortly after all of the backorders have shipped! If you have questions about a specific order, please contact sales@tilta.com
@@TILTA Can you say more than theoretically? Is it not possible for you to test it in this configuration and confirm that it is possible? It is a lot of money for me to spend if it does not quite work.
Do you think it could be used as a regular steadycam with an fx9 ? I own a rs2, a7sIII and an fx9 and i thought it could be great to be able to use the fx9 on it also!
hey 铁头! could you please send a unit to Jason Wang’s way at TLDR Filmmaker? We look to him a lot for gears in the Indie filmmaking world. We would really love to see him doing a review of this against the Thanos Pro II! 我们很想看他的测试和推荐这个 Tilta Float!
I'd rather redo 4 years of college than watch this twice. Hey, this thing is cool, who knows how to run it? I'll call the guy from the video. He's the ONLY one.
@@TILTA BTW...Would be a form of respect for customers to come in front and tell them when they gonna receive their Float. People complaining on every forum, group i know. Best regards
My case had no pendulum weights in it. I was going to use the Ronin battery to power it, but because I don’t have any weights or the pendulum in my case, I will have to buy a TB50 battery. I’m not very impressed.
These do not include the pendulum weights or Battery Handle Bracket! They only include a Gold Mount or V-Mount Battery Plate! The full Packing List can be found here: tilta.com/shop/tilta-float-handheld-gimbal-support-system/
@@TILTA So are you telling me that I can’t use it without a TB50 battery?? It’s useless then. What’s the point of giving BestBoyAdam a case full of different weights and battery adapters and nothing to anyone else?
Maybe a video “what is the float system” would be a good start. I have no idea what that was and subtitles for instruction videos aren’t the best plan of action.

The balancing looks more streamlined than most Steadicam rigs! :o
What a fantastic system by Tilta. A Trinity is overkill for my needs but this is perfect. Can’t wait for my order status to change 😆.

Thanks for you in detail description.
Excellent video. Super clear and easy to understand and what a wicked product, great work Tilta!
Need to be simplify , but once Mastered it's a killer beast . Tilta you nailed it . 👍
What a beautiful piece of engineering.
No word about the lag on the phone also...clarifying this would help decide potential customers.
The delay is dependent on the wireless video system you are using! For example, the DJI Raven Eye and RED Control App for Komodo have very little lag!
I ordered my Float about a month ago can't wait.
Do you know if it comes with the v-mount batteries?
@@ToCatchFilms yep vmount is standard. The other onces you have to order separately.

Does anyone have a preproduction unit and plan on posting a review of this bad boy? It is hard to find info on this setup other than this video.
Gopro9 電池不行嗎？
@tilta is there a way to make the belt bigger maybe 50 to 55”?
hi, but what if one wants to mount a monitor instead of the iphone?
The Phone Clamp supports devices with a maximum height of 92mm so you could use this with a monitor as long as you had a power and video signal solution!
I was thinking of building this. Would love to review it sometime. Let me know
The body support/vest is where this system fails. Putting the wieight on the waist and only 1 shoulder strap is going to cause back problems, trust me.
Thats what Im thinking, it needs a proper vest
im gonna be using my steadicam vest and arm with this. cant find any info on the size of the gimbal handle tho
We will be adding an additional support piece to address this issue!
Got mine yesterday. If you're a big guy like me, the vest won't even go round your waist. If you try and support this with tactical belts, it's a lottery. If you attach the arm the whole setup will tilt forward, screw up the balance of the arm and place such pressure into your back, you won't last even 3 minutes.
It's a major, major issue. Can't recommend a purchase of this at all, even though the gimbal and the arm is fantastic quality. The vest/belt is literally the backbone of the system and it fails incredibly.
Is there a way to supply power to a RED Komodo from the sled? Or do you recommend using Canon BP batteries on the body? Can I mount a monitor/transmitter to the monitor bracket?
Yes! We'd recommend out Power Passthrough Plate for RS2!
You can use any cold shoe mount with the Float meaning you could mount an external monitor with a more traditional cold shoe to 1/4"-20 adapter:

Is the Tilta Float compatible with the Crane 3?
Yes!
@@TILTA they told me at CVP in London that there is no way to mount the Tilta Float to the Crane 3 so we had to go for the Thanos II in the end. Pity I really wanted the Tilta Float. I did not manage to convince them otherwise, I could not find any videos of the Crane 3 being used on the Tilta Float!
@@InlightmediaUk those guys didn't have much imagination. Its very possible
When is the tilta float back in Stock its beendet over 8 Weeks now
The Float will be back in stock for regular purchasing shortly after all of the backorders have shipped! If you have questions about a specific order, please contact sales@tilta.com
@@TILTA so i might better of to order now?
Is it possible to use the Tilta support arm with an RS2 without the pole? I really just want support because handholding the RS2 is too heavy.
Yes theoretically you could do this with a 1/4"-20 to baby pin adapter!
@@TILTA Can you say more than theoretically? Is it not possible for you to test it in this configuration and confirm that it is possible? It is a lot of money for me to spend if it does not quite work.
Is it possible to set a ronin mx on it ?
Theoretically as long as you can mount it via 1/4"-20, power it via 2 Pin and keep it under the arm's 22lb weight limit
Do you think it could be used as a regular steadycam with an fx9 ? I own a rs2, a7sIII and an fx9 and i thought it could be great to be able to use the fx9 on it also!
Yes! Although designed for gimbals, the Float can attach to any system via 1/4"-20 threads!
hey 铁头! could you please send a unit to Jason Wang’s way at TLDR Filmmaker? We look to him a lot for gears in the Indie filmmaking world. We would really love to see him doing a review of this against the Thanos Pro II! 我们很想看他的测试和推荐这个 Tilta Float!
I'd rather redo 4 years of college than watch this twice. Hey, this thing is cool, who knows how to run it? I'll call the guy from the video. He's the ONLY one.
Can I use it with the Ronin s?
Yes, you can use it for any gimbal with a 1/4 or 3/8 hole but would suggest having the thumb controller.
Does this only work with the RS2 gimbal or can I use MOZA air 2
This is compatible with any gimbal that can mount via 1/4"-20 and power by 2 Pin Lemo or internally!
Does the Float enables 12V power output on the RS2 accessories ports?
The Float provides the same power as the RS2 Battery Handle!
@@TILTA BTW...Would be a form of respect for customers to come in front and tell them when they gonna receive their Float. People complaining on every forum, group i know. Best regards
This thing is sweet but man it seems like a pain in the ass to set up and balance.
My case had no pendulum weights in it.
I was going to use the Ronin battery to power it, but because I don’t have any weights or the pendulum in my case, I will have to buy a TB50 battery.
I’m not very impressed.
These do not include the pendulum weights or Battery Handle Bracket! They only include a Gold Mount or V-Mount Battery Plate!
The full Packing List can be found here: tilta.com/shop/tilta-float-handheld-gimbal-support-system/
@@TILTA So are you telling me that I can’t use it without a TB50 battery??
It’s useless then. What’s the point of giving BestBoyAdam a case full of different weights and battery adapters and nothing to anyone else?
Maybe a video “what is the float system” would be a good start. I have no idea what that was and subtitles for instruction videos aren’t the best plan of action.
