DF DIGITALFOTO Thanos Pro II Support Vest Steadicam System for Crane3S,RS5/RS4/RS4PRO/RS 2/RS3/RS3 Pro Gimbal with Rotating Monopod, Almost Compatiable with All Gimbals with 1/4" or 3/8" Screw Hole

Very nicely designed

This is a steadicam + support vest It fix the wobble from handheld a gimbal. If you have used steadicam/glidecam in the past, you should be able to setup easily. Just it's not for every shooting situation. Make sure you will have lots of space to move and not hitting things. Not suggest to use in crowded place. I receive it the day before the show, so I basically try the setup at home and then use it for a show next day. And the result is amazing.

I use the DF DIGITALFOTO Thanos Pro II with a DJI RS 3, Nikon Z7II and Atomos Ninja 2024 (powered by NP-F) and I can say with confidence that it is a real find for videographers of any level! This stabilization system exceeded all my expectations, especially considering its affordable price and excellent build quality. The first thing that strikes me is how easy it is to balance. Setting up the Thanos Pro II with the DJI RS 3 and camera takes a few minutes. Multiple balancing points allow you to adjust the system to any weight and equipment configuration. I tried using the camera mount platform as a link between the Ronin RS 3 and a monopod - it works great for high-precision horizontal adjustment. I have a Nikon Z7II with an Atomos Ninja 2024 recording in ProRes RAW 10-bit, and even with this setup, balancing is achieved without any extra effort. Now I choose the most convenient, flexible and lightweight high-speed HDMI cables for the Atomos Ninja 2024 to fully unlock the potential of RAW shooting, but even with the basic settings the result is impressive. Thanos Pro II gives incredible freedom of movement. I shoot at the highest and lowest points - from ground level to outstretched arms - without the slightest discomfort. Full coverage of horizontal points provides excellent control: the camera smoothly follows every movement, and the double spring lever dampens all vibrations. In conjunction with the RS 3, you can achieve highly professional results, especially in dynamic shooting, where precision and stability are important. The build quality is top notch. The materials (carbon fiber monopod, durable metal mounts) feel reliable and durable. Telescopic carbon tubes fold conveniently and are easy to fix in the desired position. The vest is adjustable to fit any body type, from skinny to large operators, and the settings are so flexible that the system can be adjusted to literally anyone. Even after long hours of work, there is no fatigue - the weight of the equipment is distributed perfectly. I plan to supplement and upgrade the system. I want to switch to power from the V-Mount platform, which is included, by installing NP-F batteries through an adapter - I use them all the time and am not considering buying two types of chargers for V-Mount and NP-F. Compared to professional systems that cost a fortune, Thanos Pro II is an ideal budget tool. It is suitable for both beginner video makers and advanced filmmakers who want quality without overpaying. For a very small amount of money, you get a professional level of stabilization, convenience and reliability. For me, this is the best choice in its class - I recommend it to anyone who wants to take their projects to the next level!

Ottima soluzione per produzioni video medie/piccole, io lo utilizzo in combinazione con DJI RS3 Pro e Canon 1DX Mark II e, una volta segnati con una matita sul telaio delle varie componenti i riferimenti per la calibratura, montare il Thanos diventa molto veloce. Ottima anche la regolazione della tensione delle molle, che permette movimenti fluidi anche con pesanti attrezzature. Abbinato a veicoli, Segway PT o anche solo correndo regala grandissime soddisfazioni, inoltre permette al singolo operatore che necessita di gestire anche la registrazione audio di staccare almeno una mano dalla camera (ad esempio per modificare il volume nel mixer) senza alcun movimento di camera indesiderato. Ho riscontrato, invece, qualche difficoltà con le cinghie del vest, che risultano in alcune circostanze poco regolabili per operatori magri e senza spazi per inserire il lembo "volante" della cinghia, che potrebbe creare impiccio durante le riprese. Avrei apprezzato un sistema di fissaggio delle molle al vest (purtroppo non esiste), per tutte quelle circostanze in cui occorre togliere la glidecam con montata la camera ma si può rimanere comunque con la molla montata (ad esempio durante le pause tra un ciak e il successivo). Consiglio a chiunque acquisti il Thanos di acquistare anche un solido e pesante stativo per luci, che permette di tenere sospesa la glidecam con montata la camera nelle fasi pre/post registrazione.

Good vest but I was hoping for allen screws on the vest if you want to move the arm for right handed people. The Phillips screws are so tight that they are almost impossible to loosen. There is also no screwdriver included to make the vest for right-handed people. You have to do all this yourself, while most people wear the camera on the right. Furthermore, the vest could have had some rubber to protect the glidecam that could come into contact with the vest. otherwise perfect.

Au départ j'etais beaucoup hésitant mais en même temps je le desire bien, j'ai fini par acheter. Au premier essai j'etais pas trop convaincu j'etais même sur le point de le retourné puis j'ai compris à force d'éssayer que le bras articuler n'etais pas du bon côté. Le service client très reactif m'a aidé à resoudre rapidement ce problème et là depuis quelques jours je suis comme un gamin avec ce angin. Très pratique, facile à monter avec le temps et une forte envi irrésistible d'aller tirer dehors. J'aime beaucoup Si vous recherchez des angles de vues un peu spéciales voilà ce qu'il vous faut. Service client presque personnalisé pour votre satisfaction. ça fait plaisir quand le travail est bien fait
