BALANCING THE TILTA FLOAT

[@TILTA]

Great stuff guys! Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the Float!

[@mrkimonojr9400]

Thank you guys!!! I am curious if you guys can do a video float with Zhiyun crane 3s ??? Please

[@digitalfeast]

Well we don't own any Zhiyun products but it can be done! I've seen people pull it off on the tilta float Facebook page. You would just mount it directly to the float in place of the RS2 mount. Then you would just use the pendulum on the bottom instead of the V-mount/Gold-mount plate. Hope this helps!

[@aaronjohnwhite]

Thanks for the video it was great! Could you provide the adapter you used on the proaim to balance the rig? I cant seem to find it. Thanks!

[@EYECRAFTVideo]

LOVE TO SEE SOME VIDEO with it perfectly set following a person without post stabliztion - Many Thanks for the video

[@digitalfeast]

We have been using the float for about a year now. We have learned much. Stay tuned for a full review with about 60 professional shoots under out belt. Much to go over. Coming soon.

Hi Guys. Thank you for the tutorial. Was wondering about the batterypack up and down adjustment. Your float was returning fairly fast to the middle position when rotating. In the Tilta instruction video that movement is super slow - any plusside in having it return faster? Would be great to see the belt adjustments and general movement tips in your next video - thank you 😊

[@VeePull]

It's actually supposed to return to the middle within 1-2 seconds. The way they showed it in the video was not ideal balance. Having it too fast would result in left/right movement while doing the throw test. I too am trying to figure out how to get the speed ideal. It seems like moving the power base plate is the key to slowing/speeding the return.

[@digitalfeast]

James, We have perfected the balancing strategy with the float. We had to modify the float to make it easier to balance. We have an upcoming show and will go over all the changes to the rig and how we get it balanced quickly. We have used the Float on at least 60+ shoots, it is a work horse for us and we love the video we capture with the float.

Hey there, another great tutorial. Thank you very much. Will you also put up a video on the vest/belt? That would be fantastic. Best regards

[@digitalfeast]

That is one of our next planned releases! Stay tuned!

[@mpatercologne]

@@digitalfeast Fantastic! Thx

[@ZacandzacUkphotography]

Great video thanks. Does anyone know if the thumb controller work with a DJI RSC2 gimble also? Or only the RS2? Cheers

[@digitalfeast]

Tilta site says RS2 - I would reach out to Tilta to verify

[@ive595]

Great videos thanks guys, can you give me a link to the cart you use, I’ve been after a stable cart for a while and yours looks perfect.

[@digitalfeast]

Ive, We have heavily modified our carts. The biggest modifications are a Tilta float mount and pneumatic tires to soften the ride for the equipment. We have a show coming up very soon on the the carts. It is definitely a strategy and it does not have to cost a lot either.

[@gatosoul]

Thank you for sharing! , did you use it a lot ? or did you return it? thank you

[@digitalfeast]

Great Question, We have been using the Float for about a year now. It is our primary B-roll tool. If we are not on a tripod, we are using the float. It is a work horse for our studio. look for some of our upcoming videos, you will see the float being used in many different types of shoots.

[@premiumparis]

Is it finally available ??

[@digitalfeast]

It is still out of stock for V-mount batteries but it is available in Gold mount! So if you haven't committed to a battery type yet you should pick one up!

[@premiumparis]

@@digitalfeast I have v mounts but I guess I can get a converter 🤪

[@BoCalilung]

Just curious What's the highest angle you can reach and lowest. Can you replicate a jib movement? Great videos!

[@DeanHarringtonimages]

How's the Tilta working now? 6.20.23

[@ShizzBeatsmusic]

Great video guys… being a recent Tilta Float owner would you guys prefer balancing the float vertical or horizontal. I know you said horizontal but have a difficult time balancing the Roll Motor. Getting a lot of shaky footage Running the bmpcc6k & sigma 1835.Very frustrating I tried almost everything from counterweights, 1 or 2 v mounts batteries.

[@digitalfeast]

I believe we have perfected the whole balancing strategy. Stay tuned for a full review with about 60 professional shoots under out belt now. Much to go over. Coming soon.

[@PHUKU]

Erm You left out the Vest / Arm balancing ????

[@szymonkolacz5948]

can you guys update product links please

[@digitalfeast]

Done

[@pr1sm55]

What I find odd is that you guys did not do the Gimbal balancing on the screen after changing its balance.

[@mylesdante]

I'm curious, why didn't you just balance the gimbal off the float?

[@mylesdante]

I can balance it off the float. Snap it on. And it's perfectly balanced how yours was even though you did it on the float. I just wanna know your theory behind it so I can better understand the decision

[@PHUKU]

hey FYI none of the links to the 3rd party accessories work

[@digitalfeast]

Sia, just updated all the links. There are also links to go directly to Tilta

[@EugeneMaynard]

👍🏾🙏🏾

[@pognerebkofilm]

Hmm. But this kind of balance is wrong. Look how to balance Arri Trinity. You have many weight on bottom (when you turn stabilizer to left or right it will return to center very fast. When you running with stabiliser it will be wobble.

[@adaptivefilmmaker]

balancing the camera on the original ronin set up would save you a tun of time.

[@frontfoot1035]

The kondor blue arms are just a rip off of ultralight arms

[@digitalfeast]

We love the Kondor Blue magic arms, if you know of a better product post a link.

[@_FrontFootFilms_]

@@digitalfeast Ultralight. The company Kondor Blue ripped off.

[@frontfoot1035]

Why would you want to use a gimbal like that at 70mm? Use a different lens.

[@ScarmackProductions]

Many reason. Can't be close to your subject, more background compression, more subject separation, 85 is the perfect portrait length so most say, so 70 is pretty darn close to that. I always fly a 24-70 on mine and constantly go from 24 to 70 all the time to get multiple shots/angles/looks and it doesn't affect the gimbal at all balanced at 45-50.

[@frontfoot1035]

@@ScarmackProductions 85 is great portrait lens but not for gimbal work

[@ScarmackProductions]

@@frontfoot1035 Well I guess that's where we disagree. I've used my 135 on my Gimbal with great results (IMO). But to each their own. Merry Christmas
