Overview

The Neewer GA018 gimbal shoulder strap addresses one of the most common complaints among gimbal operators: arm fatigue during extended shooting sessions. By transferring the weight of your DJI RS gimbal and camera from your arms to your shoulder, the strap lets you shoot for significantly longer periods without the muscle strain that leads to shaky footage. The soft padded construction distributes load across a broad contact area, and the adjustable length range of 92 to 150 centimeters accommodates everything from compact shooters to taller operators while allowing fine-tuning for different carrying positions.

The quick-release QD buckle system is the practical centerpiece of this accessory, enabling you to clip in and detach the gimbal in seconds rather than fumbling with screws or threading straps through mounting points. The included Arca-type baseplate connects to your gimbal's sling handle via a standard 1/4-inch screw and features dovetail rails compatible with the widely adopted Arca-Swiss ecosystem, meaning you can move the gimbal between the shoulder strap and a tripod head without swapping plates. With a 66-pound load rating — many times the weight of even the heaviest RS4 Pro setup — durability under real-world conditions is not a concern. At just 6 ounces, the strap itself adds virtually nothing to your kit weight, making it an easy addition to any run-and-gun or event shooting bag.

Key Features

【For RS4/RS4 Pro/RS3/RS3 Pro/RS2】 This shoulder strap is compatible with DJI RS4 RS4 Pro RS3 RS3 Pro RS2 Gimbals. It helps you reduce shoulder and arm stress and gives you more stability when shooting long videos outdoors. Max load: 66lb/30kg

【Must Be Used with a Sling Handle】 The gimbal shoulder strap can only work with a sling handle, compatible with DJI original sling handle, compatible with SmallRig 3028C, compatible with Tilta TGA-ARH2 sling handles, and others. Note: Sling handles are sold separately

【Quick Release QD Buckle Connection】 Both ends of the shoulder strap have quick release QD buckles for quick attachment and removal

【Standard Baseplate Included】 An included baseplate can be connected to the bottom of the gimbal handle via a 1/4" screw. It features standard Arca type dovetails for a wide range of tripod heads and built in NATO rails for connecting dual handgrips, monitor mounts, magic arms, and other accessories

【Adjustable Strap with Soft Padding】 The strap is 3-5ft/92-150cm length adjustable to fit different heights and body types. The soft padding evenly distributes weight and relieves fatigue
