Overview

The Tilta Float Shoulder Support System (GSS-T01-SS) is purpose-built to address one of the biggest challenges gimbal operators face: fatigue from prolonged rig use. By redistributing the weight of your camera and gimbal setup from the lower back up to the shoulders, this support accessory helps maintain comfort and stability over long shooting days. It attaches to the Tilta Float support vest, working as an integrated part of the Float ecosystem rather than a standalone device.

Constructed from a combination of nylon, aluminum, and steel, the Shoulder Support is engineered to be both lightweight and resilient enough to handle the demands of professional film and video production. Its design accommodates various rig sizes, making it adaptable whether you are running a lightweight mirrorless setup or a heavier cinema camera configuration on the Tilta Float. For operators who rely on gimbal stabilization for documentary, event, or narrative work, this accessory can meaningfully extend the time you spend shooting before fatigue sets in.
