OK, I got mine mounted and did first technical test just tonight. Here my first takeaways: 1) You need to get the whole thing perfectly balanced to avoid the post moving uncontrolled when holding the post upright and moving it as a true steadicam (RS2 will keep the horizon) 2) Moving from verical post (steadicam mode) into briefcase or even underslung is a totally different thing regarding movements and controlling the post. 3) Actively supporting the arm movements with your body becomes even more important with the heavider payload. Conclusion: The RS2 does not make things easier, adding more freedom of movements, but it provides exactly this additional movement. Practicing is key!
yes, good move!, the 3/8th screws are what are used on tripods to connect the heads to the column, so are definitely strong enough, esp. for the lighter weight cameras you are putting on them (eg: for most still cameras this 3/8th thread is enough, but for Large format monorails, they use a 5\8th thread!!).
I am blown away with Your setup mate. Thank You for inspiration. I am just starting with video and photography - how ever people like You are making things much easier for beginners. I am sure this setup will work perfect with my Sony A1 and NINJA V - hooked up to it
Got the Flycam Redking a while ago, I got it because it was the ‘budget’ option for better video work. Well….I’ve done some hefty gigs and now have some capital to add to my rig. So, thanks to you I now know where I’m going to invest that into, cheers!
I was on the fence for a year or so. Got the RS2 a few month ago - awesome, but heavy weight with fully rigged S1H. Today, the Proaim vest II set with arm and flycam arrived. First experimenting has been very good: no more footsteps visible! Only keeping the horizon will require lots of practicing. Will order the missing parts over the weekend to complete towards your set. More than exited!

I'm frm India and I bought a Weebill S gimbal 4 months ago. After trying the Arri Minity setup inspired by what James Matthews did, I felt that setup was straining my arm to exhaustion. I now honestly must thank you for the best budget setup with this vest to not lose hope on the idea. Because, both Tilta Float and DF Thanos Pro II are way expensive here for me.
@@christianevangelista4562 I don’t think you’ll fully get rid of lower back pain however by exercising in the gym strengthening your muscles could help. Just allow yourself to take short breaks when not filming to recover to give your back some rest.
@@christianevangelista4562 I actually did just using the vest and arm.. like Black said though, I went and did some back exercises and seems to not be so bad. you really have to be aware of your posture using this, regardless of the gimble. its just like lifting heavy objects when they tell you to lift with your back and not your arms.. there are certain ways to bend, even walk with a rig like this. once you have the vest you can even modify it with more braces.. its the concept that rocks. And the vest and arm are well worth it if you have a heavy camera over 6 pounds give or take. even without the gimble your arms will noodles within 2 hours
Hi there ) I am on a market for something like that, what do you think about digitalfoto thanos pro 2? Looks like it’s works out of the box without that many modifications. Thanks, Toly
@@anatolylitvak7454 if you want something out of box then yes. its only slightly more expensive. tilta is also another option, but heard some vest location point issue and lower back. however the largest point of "do it yourself" is still going to be making your gimble work. you cannot use a system like this without a baseplate power adapter. mourning a gimble with a long handle on ANY system isn't a good idea. and if you NEED a Vmount for your camera, thats another consideration. I wouldn't suggest power for camera AND gimble from one battery. people do it but I personally wouldn't. and the thanos seems to be backordered everywhere

If you know your gear quite well, I would asumme a time between 5-10 minutes for the overall rebalance.
Great video, thanks! Anybody come up with a good way to combine this rig with a shotgun mic? Seems like you need a second person and maybe a boom - mounting a mic on a camera on a gimbal doesn't seem work for me, and mounting anywhere else means it's not going to point the right way. So far a lav set up with wireless go is best I can come up with.
like your video.. but... You Do Not Have In your Description... what you said.. about BestBoy Adam I read and did not find any things towards his channel????
Great video, I just happened to find the tilta base plate for RS2. Do you think it is possible to attach the handle of the folow focus from the tilta to the arm of the vest using a clamp to be able to twist the focus with the hand that usually holds the gimbal by the handle (while the other hand guides the gimbal in space)? Then, after all, one could make crazy flights at long focal lengths, keeping the subject in focus.
I'm nearing completion of my rig but I'm at an impass. In your 'Construction Process' section I see you're drilling a screw through the V-mount battery plate to the bottom of the RedKing stabilizer. It looks like you drill up to the head of the screw and stop, which is what happens to me. The problem is the screw head is blocking me from mounting the battery. And the only 2 holes on the plate that line up with the RedKing are a different size hole and thread. I can't figure out what to do. I hope you can help. Thanks!
Omg freaking g . I'm getting this . One question . You're monitor has a clip on it what is that so I can clamp it to my rig please oh please brother . Your video helped out alot . I got back problems from a car accident
Thanks for the info, awesome video. I saw you having the weebils on top. I understand that is a much simple setup. Are you confidence with the conection you were afraid of with the dji? In which mode are you using the weebil s? I own a sony 6400 and can't connect an external monitor while using the gimbal, can you do that with the a7III? thanks in advance
Hey everybody ! I have a question, i wanna use my ronin s with this whole set up . So i have to remove the battery and hook it up to external battery to work ? Because ronin s is coming with 2 screws in the handle !
I am lookimg at your video today which waa 3 years ago. Can you please suggest a good vmoumt battery to use that will be compatible with the adapter please.
It's great to hear you're checking out our videos, even the ones from a few years back. To recommend the best battery for you, we need you to describe the adapter you're referring to.
this is totally rad. I got the vest and arm.. was going to just use it like that but just picked up the ronin. this video came at a good good time. only think I wanted to ask, I was considering ditching the lower weight plate and using an extension pole with regular circular weights and V mount the battery in the vertical position. I noticed at time the regular plate was hitting my legs when I walked, if it was rotated in that way. either way this rocks. also, have you ever used the ronin to do "camera tracking" for multiple takes for compositing? wondering if the motors are "proper" for that kind of work and wont stray on repeated ttracks over the same course. thanks much and good work!! EDIT.. was wondering if you could use 2V mount batteries. 1 for the camera (I have a 6kpro and im afraid to share it on a single port.. ground loop fry and all that) and obviously the second for the gimble and monitor.
Do you have any suggestion for a rig that is exclusively mechanical? (no electric/digital parts, I will use in bad weather) eliminating or minimizing the up-and-down of my steps is the most important as well, particularly because i have a series of injuries that make them worse. Thanks!!!!

I really don’t see the need to out the rs2 on this glidecam. You could simply get a quick release plate and put the camera right on the glidecam. Having a ronin stabilizer is not necessary for a glidecam because the glidecam is a stabilizer that works very well once you balance it and you can also put bigger cameras say like a black magic on it with no problem of the weight.
Bravo for this ingenuity! I wonder about the follow focus, is there a possibility to install a wireless one? I also saw that you installed your monitor directly on the spring arm, is it easy to do or do you have to fiddle with it? Thank you!

What’s the advantage of using the gimbal along with it? That might be a dumb question lol but I just want to know what it would do as a pose of just using the arm and stabalozer
Not a dumb question at all! Combining the gimbal with the arm and stabilizer enhances your shots by providing smoother movements and greater stability. The gimbal compensates for any remaining camera shake or vibration, resulting in even more professional-looking footage.
@@ProaimGlobal Oh that’s makes a lot of sense that you! Should I go with the flycam comfort? I’m a film student in high school and I was thinking of that for a birthday gift

On one of Bestboy Adams videos he mentionied that the vmount plate have to be moveable in every direction to properly balance the system. Did you have any issues with your setup so far. I want to build a simliar one for my bmpcc6k and a ronin S
Hi There, We don't have V mount plate in Redking Stabilizer but, you can balance the system with provided weights. Yes, it is compatible with BMPCC 6K & RONIN S Thanks Team Proaim
Thanks for making this video. I have the Red Komodo and I think using this set up would be easier to set up and use than the Float. I see you are flying smaller camera with this vest, would you recommend the same vest for that camera, as you use for yours?
Unfortunately, we're unable to provide the exact mode or setting used at 7:56 as the video maker is no longer available to confirm. We apologize for any inconvenience. However, we recommend experimenting with different gimbal modes to achieve similar results. Thank you for your understanding!

I tried almost the same setup on a gimbal fully loaded bmcc6k, sigma 18-35, matbox and all. It's definitely possible but risky and the amount of counter weight needed to get it balanced ended up making the entire system very very heavy 😪
@@moonlightcinematix4138 I have the same setup but the 6K pro. it worked fine on the ronin S2. a bit too heavy to hold and still gets micro jitters. I use a canon IS lens and its buttery. in fact unless that camera is on a tripod or slider I wont attempt to handhold, even with a gimbal. just too much weight for a clean shot. the mechanical pivot on this setup wont break and the weight needed for counterbalance on this setup is fine, and actually you'll need less weights on the bottom with the weight of the camera, not more
Any thoughts on the flycam comfort arm vest? its almost half the price of the galaxy arm vest. I know it comes with one less spring bar but I'm not sure if that's necessary
Hi Christian, Galaxy Vest equally distributes weight in 3 parts; to your shoulders, Back & to your waist. So you won't find it uncomfortable. Thanks Team Proaim
Appreciate the insight, thanks! I do think perhaps some comparative shots of handheld vs with the rig would have been good. From what I can tell it looks like it saves your arms more than stabilises the shot, is that right?
You can purchase the Rs2 Combo which comes with a manual focus ring. Then Tilta sells a handle that can control it. In this video I just used auto focu
Great vid, great diy rig. Question, how secure does it feel with the flycam just sitting on the arm? or does it lock? I would feel anxious when stretching the arm all the way out holding the end of the flycam with both hands for low shots.
you could always use a waist belt (sort of like how they do with wallets and chains attached). if youre not doing extreme heights or jousting it will at least keep your cam from smashing.. but it IS a very strong connection. id be more worried about the gimble snapping.but it looks solid as well
Awesome! Happy to hear we could help with your filming needs. Product Link: www.proaim.ca/products/flycam-galaxy-arm-vest-with-redking-video-camera-stabilizer Let us know if you have any queries- Happy to help!
This is insane and any videographer's dream and it turns out that I just bought that very exact same gimbal and had no idea I could do this with it. I'm really thinking of getting that flycam redking bundle. Any suggestion on the type of V-Mount battery ideal for this?
Hello, The Redking Stabilizer is compatible with RS2. If either of the two Cameras Z90 or NX80 is compatible with RS2, you can use the combination. Thanks Team Proaim
Hey! I am totall into this setup but do you think it holds a crane3s + a7siii or fx6 with a small battery? Also i need something that i have less back pain. Do you have the feeling that the more weight is even worse for the back or is the weight better distributed?
Hello Bommel, Yes, this Flycam Rig can easily hold your mentioned setup. The weight is equally distributed on Shoulders and back, so you needn't to worry about back pain. I hope this helps. For more queries, you can contact us at sales@proaim.com Thank you, Team Proaim

@@ProaimGlobal thanks alot for the answer, i just ordered one :) i am a bit worried about having the gimbal attached with only one screw so i tink i will get a cheeseplate and a magic arm too. It would be amazing if there would be a solution for that too.or i just add a metal cable so that it can not fall off
@ the beauty of using the RoninS2 on this setup is that you can break off the handle which makes it less top heavy. I tried a similar setup with a jib and the moza mini p. it was sketchy at best. I didnt even test it because I didnt trust my iPhone on the end of a single small screw. plus the plastic body on that gimble is meant to be held and supported with your hands...not take all the weight from the bottom screw
What would your whole stabilizer gimbal setup with the vest and everything else needed cost in total? (camera excluded)? Thank you for your video and build creativity! 😁

I am curious how the Galaxy setup compares with the Vista-II. I love this rig, and have been designing my own, but cannot seem to find a happy medium. I like the way you did your rig, I had a similar parts list, but also needed a place to mount my Atomos. Great video! I cannot seem to find a good way to have my monitor at mid level which is what I really want.
Hi There, You can compare by the load capacity for your set up, Galaxy Up to 10kg / 22lb & Vista-II up to 15kg / 33lb To mount your Atomos you can choose Zest Pro as it has adjustable monitor mount. www.proaim.com/products/flycam-zest-pro-electronic-video-camera-stabilizer-with-vista-ii-arm-vest Thanks Team Proaim

Seems like you need a second person and maybe a boom - mounting a mic on a camera on a gimbal doesn't seem work for me, and mounting anywhere else means it's not going to point the right way. So far a lav set up with wireless go is best I can come up with.
I have the flycam vest and arm with sled. Thank You. I may look into purchasing a dji rs3pro for my 6kpro setup.
Thank you! cheers!
That would be a great setup. Thanks for the idea.
like your video.. but... You Do Not Have In your Description... what you said.. about BestBoy Adam
I read and did not find any things towards his channel????
Thanks for good idea, does you still need to use "ninja walking" or it's absolutely stable and not depending on style of walking?
Hanzhen harmonic drive gear, strain wave reducer, robot joint , over 30 years experience
Hé top concept, I already have all these components but never used them together. Shure gonna be doing some testing with your rig. Thanks!
Awesome! Glad you found it useful.
Great video, I just happened to find the tilta base plate for RS2. Do you think it is possible to attach the handle of the folow focus from the tilta to the arm of the vest using a clamp to be able to twist the focus with the hand that usually holds the gimbal by the handle (while the other hand guides the gimbal in space)? Then, after all, one could make crazy flights at long focal lengths, keeping the subject in focus.
Hello,
Yes, you do the attachments in the above mentioned way.
Thanks
Team Proaim
Yes, it is possible and also very useful.
Great content. Would this gear also be good for recording yourself while walking? (As I want to make videos while walking and talking.)
Yes, it would be great for that. It worked very well for me.
Great video thanks. Did you need to use a longer P-Tap to 2 pin Memo than the one supplied. If so, I'm curious where you found that. Thanks!
I'm nearing completion of my rig but I'm at an impass. In your 'Construction Process' section I see you're drilling a screw through the V-mount battery plate to the bottom of the RedKing stabilizer. It looks like you drill up to the head of the screw and stop, which is what happens to me. The problem is the screw head is blocking me from mounting the battery. And the only 2 holes on the plate that line up with the RedKing are a different size hole and thread. I can't figure out what to do. I hope you can help. Thanks!
Omg freaking g . I'm getting this . One question .
You're monitor has a clip on it what is that so I can clamp it to my rig please oh please brother .
Your video helped out alot . I got back problems from a car accident
Same question!
Congrats! Great video!
Have you tried a 18 pound camera on it?
Hi There,
We won't suggest, as Galaxy Arm's maximum payload capacity is 15lb.
Thanks

Explain how the weebill s is connected to it in an update please
Thanks for the info, awesome video. I saw you having the weebils on top. I understand that is a much simple setup. Are you confidence with the conection you were afraid of with the dji? In which mode are you using the weebil s? I own a sony 6400 and can't connect an external monitor while using the gimbal, can you do that with the a7III? thanks in advance
What do you do about controlling focus?
Hey everybody ! I have a question, i wanna use my ronin s with this whole set up . So i have to remove the battery and hook it up to external battery to work ? Because ronin s is coming with 2 screws in the handle !
I am lookimg at your video today which waa 3 years ago. Can you please suggest a good vmoumt battery to use that will be compatible with the adapter please.
It's great to hear you're checking out our videos, even the ones from a few years back.
To recommend the best battery for you, we need you to describe the adapter you're referring to.
I have the crane3s and thanos 2 vest how can get the double attachment screw plate for extra security
Just for extra protection. Do you use a double screw plate?
So I'd be able to do this with a Blackmagic4k and smallrig attatched!? Hope you get to respond! Thanks!
Yes, I have seen that camera on this rig
this is totally rad. I got the vest and arm.. was going to just use it like that but just picked up the ronin. this video came at a good good time. only think I wanted to ask, I was considering ditching the lower weight plate and using an extension pole with regular circular weights and V mount the battery in the vertical position. I noticed at time the regular plate was hitting my legs when I walked, if it was rotated in that way. either way this rocks. also, have you ever used the ronin to do "camera tracking" for multiple takes for compositing? wondering if the motors are "proper" for that kind of work and wont stray on repeated ttracks over the same course. thanks much and good work!! EDIT.. was wondering if you could use 2V mount batteries. 1 for the camera (I have a 6kpro and im afraid to share it on a single port.. ground loop fry and all that) and obviously the second for the gimble and monitor.
Those are all great ideas, I’m not 100% sure but you can customize this thing however you want
Hello Teddy,
No, you can't use it this way.
Thanks
Team Proaim
Hi, do you know if theTilta power supply works with the Ronin Sc gimbal? Thank you.
No it does not
@@thefilmalliance I guess I'll have to get the RS2 then. Thank you for your reply.
oh boy. i bought a Manfrotto mvg 460 q1 this year. I think I'm screwed... what do you think? Is it worth the try?
I got the exact same vest just this week and was trying to figure out the best way to use my Ronin S with it. Dope ideas 💡 👌
How is the fit around the waist?
@@HornHippieMedia it's great. No issues.. sits well
@@maddenfootballtalk6544 Yes, it is a great vest and it fits very well.
Do you have any suggestion for a rig that is exclusively mechanical? (no electric/digital parts, I will use in bad weather) eliminating or minimizing the up-and-down of my steps is the most important as well, particularly because i have a series of injuries that make them worse. Thanks!!!!
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us with your specific requirements. Considering your injuries and the desire for an exclusively mechanical rig, we recommend exploring our range of Non-Electrical Body-Mounted Stabilizers.

Wonder if you can attach a RS2 and cam to the setup?
Hello Peter,
Yes, you can attach RS2 and cam to this setup.
Thanks
Team Proaim
Yes, it worked great with the setup.
I really don’t see the need to out the rs2 on this glidecam. You could simply get a quick release plate and put the camera right on the glidecam. Having a ronin stabilizer is not necessary for a glidecam because the glidecam is a stabilizer that works very well once you balance it and you can also put bigger cameras say like a black magic on it with no problem of the weight.
I understand where you're coming from, but I think that the weight might not be distributed as easily.
Bravo for this ingenuity!
I wonder about the follow focus, is there a possibility to install a wireless one?
I also saw that you installed your monitor directly on the spring arm, is it easy to do or do you have to fiddle with it?
Thank you!
Hi There,
You can mount Follow Focus over Stabilizer with the rod support,
& Monitor can mount on Stabilizer.
Thanks
Team Proaim
You can fiddle with it to get it how you want it, but you will need a strong magic arm
Do you have this rig setup with the webill s?

Hello there,

Team Proaim!
Hi, nice videos.! One question, how do you balance the arm in order to prevent moving forward? and to stay quite once you release both hands from it.
What’s the advantage of using the gimbal along with it? That might be a dumb question lol but I just want to know what it would do as a pose of just using the arm and stabalozer
Not a dumb question at all!
Combining the gimbal with the arm and stabilizer enhances your shots by providing smoother movements and greater stability.
The gimbal compensates for any remaining camera shake or vibration, resulting in even more professional-looking footage.
@@ProaimGlobal Oh that’s makes a lot of sense that you! Should I go with the flycam comfort? I’m a film student in high school and I was thinking of that for a birthday gift
@@jamalsbbq Absolutely! The Flycam Comfort is a fantastic choice, especially for a budding filmmaker like yourself. It's versatile, easy to use, and will enhance your filmmaking experience. Happy early birthday!

On one of Bestboy Adams videos he mentionied that the vmount plate have to be moveable in every direction to properly balance the system. Did you have any issues with your setup so far. I want to build a simliar one for my bmpcc6k and a ronin S
Hi There,
We don't have V mount plate in Redking Stabilizer but, you can balance the system with provided weights.
Yes, it is compatible with BMPCC 6K & RONIN S
Thanks
Team Proaim
I did not have any issues with it. It is one of the best vests that I have used.
Thanks for making this video. I have the Red Komodo and I think using this set up would be easier to set up and use than the Float. I see you are flying smaller camera with this vest, would you recommend the same vest for that camera, as you use for yours?
Hi There,
Yes, both of them are compatible.
Thanks & Regards
Team Proaim
Great video. So can i use the ifootage cobra 3 monopod with this
Thanks for the video ! just wanted to know how well this works with the Webill S : Config is Sony A7iii with Tamron 28-75 ?
What was the mode that you put the gimbal in so that it works rig 7:56
Unfortunately, we're unable to provide the exact mode or setting used at 7:56 as the video maker is no longer available to confirm. We apologize for any inconvenience. However, we recommend experimenting with different gimbal modes to achieve similar results. Thank you for your understanding!

I am also thinking about this system for my BMPCC I believe that working with not excessive weights it can work very well. Thanks for the video
Hi Mario,
Stabilizer has a weight capacity of minimum 700 grams & maximum 7 kg/ 15.4 lb.
You can use it accordingly.
Thanks
Team Poraim
I tried almost the same setup on a gimbal fully loaded bmcc6k, sigma 18-35, matbox and all. It's definitely possible but risky and the amount of counter weight needed to get it balanced ended up making the entire system very very heavy 😪
@@moonlightcinematix4138 I have the same setup but the 6K pro. it worked fine on the ronin S2. a bit too heavy to hold and still gets micro jitters. I use a canon IS lens and its buttery. in fact unless that camera is on a tripod or slider I wont attempt to handhold, even with a gimbal. just too much weight for a clean shot. the mechanical pivot on this setup wont break and the weight needed for counterbalance on this setup is fine, and actually you'll need less weights on the bottom with the weight of the camera, not more
I got excited when you mentioned the RSC2 as I have this gimbal, but then you said you swapped the RSC2 for the more expensive RS2 :(
Any thoughts on the flycam comfort arm vest? its almost half the price of the galaxy arm vest. I know it comes with one less spring bar but I'm not sure if that's necessary
Hi did you have any issues while using this Rig like low back pain? if yes how did you eliminate it?
Hi Christian,
Galaxy Vest equally distributes weight in 3 parts; to your shoulders, Back & to your waist.
So you won't find it uncomfortable.
Thanks
Team Proaim
No, i did not have any issues. It distributes the weight very evenly and well.
Appreciate the insight, thanks!
I do think perhaps some comparative shots of handheld vs with the rig would have been good. From what I can tell it looks like it saves your arms more than stabilises the shot, is that right?
It does both equally.
Nice build. but how do you pull focus?
You can purchase the Rs2 Combo which comes with a manual focus ring. Then Tilta sells a handle that can control it. In this video I just used auto focu
This is so sick!!!!!
Great vid, great diy rig. Question, how secure does it feel with the flycam just sitting on the arm? or does it lock? I would feel anxious when stretching the arm all the way out holding the end of the flycam with both hands for low shots.
Hi Derek,
There is no lock on the connecting point, but it is very securely connected.
Thanks
Team Proaim
you could always use a waist belt (sort of like how they do with wallets and chains attached). if youre not doing extreme heights or jousting it will at least keep your cam from smashing.. but it IS a very strong connection. id be more worried about the gimble snapping.but it looks solid as well

this guy looks exactly like younger clint eastwood
is it possible equip rs2 + z90 or nx80?

The Redking Stabilizer is compatible with RS2. If either of the two Cameras Z90 or NX80 is compatible with RS2, you can use the combination.

Hey! I am totall into this setup but do you think it holds a crane3s + a7siii or fx6 with a small battery? Also i need something that i have less back pain. Do you have the feeling that the more weight is even worse for the back or is the weight better distributed?
Hello Bommel,
Yes, this Flycam Rig can easily hold your mentioned setup. The weight is equally distributed on Shoulders and back, so you needn't to worry about back pain. I hope this helps.

@@ProaimGlobal thanks alot for the answer, i just ordered one :) i am a bit worried about having the gimbal attached with only one screw so i tink i will get a cheeseplate and a magic arm too. It would be amazing if there would be a solution for that too.or i just add a metal cable so that it can not fall off
@ the beauty of using the RoninS2 on this setup is that you can break off the handle which makes it less top heavy. I tried a similar setup with a jib and the moza mini p. it was sketchy at best. I didnt even test it because I didnt trust my iPhone on the end of a single small screw. plus the plastic body on that gimble is meant to be held and supported with your hands...not take all the weight from the bottom screw

i have a flycam hd3000 would that work too?
I am curious how the Galaxy setup compares with the Vista-II. I love this rig, and have been designing my own, but cannot seem to find a happy medium. I like the way you did your rig, I had a similar parts list, but also needed a place to mount my Atomos. Great video! I cannot seem to find a good way to have my monitor at mid level which is what I really want.
Hi There,
You can compare by the load capacity for your set up,
Galaxy Up to 10kg / 22lb
& Vista-II up to 15kg / 33lb
To mount your Atomos you can choose Zest Pro as it has adjustable monitor mount.

are you your system with a blackmagic pocket 6k? Do you think it would work with heavier gear?
