This Lightweight and Portable Vest with QR 1/4"-20 Mounting Stud from Came-TV is a highly-adjustable support vest for mounting single-handed gimbals with a 1/4"-20 mounting hole. The vest features a front chest piece, removable shoulder straps, and a support belt. This setup creates a tremendous amount of adjustment to fit a variety of body sizes and types. Once properly fit to your body, the vest provides you with comfort and support for your gimbal while helping to prevent fatigue.

An integrated ball joint helps support your gimbal, allowing you to assume many positions, so you can get the shot you are looking for without having to go through wild contortions that may defeat the stability of your gimbal. The ball joint has a QR mount that accepts the included 1/4"-20 threaded stud, so you can quickly disconnect your gimbal from the vest in-between shots.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the arm pin on this 7/8 or 5/8?

Q: 2. Will this vest and arm work with the Steadicam Solo Stabilizer?

A: Yes it will work great. It's better if that handle is curved.

Q: 3. What is the minimum size for a person not to have the arm too close to the hips? I heard this is a very big vest

A: The vest of the CAME-TV Pro Camera Vest & Dual-Arm Support System (13.23 to 26.46 lb) (B&H# CALBVL4A) is versatile so that you can adjust its height and fit for a range of larger body types. Fitment will vary by body shape and size, but it is adjustable across a range of larger torsos specifically to address the issue you mention. There is no specific minimum size given by the manufacturer, but given user experiences we could recommend it for persons wearing at least a large US size shirt or larger (e.g. XL, XXL, XXL, etc.). You may also want to wear a sweatshirt (A.K.A. jersey, jumper, etc.) underneath it for additional padding, better fitment, and more comfort. Some users have sewn the straps to be shorter to fit medium-size torsos. Others have added padding by opening the zippers in the pads, removing the internal foam padding, and tracing those included pads on pieces of foam that were subsequently cut out to add to or make new pads to put back inside the (zippered) padding holders. (That’s convenient because adding padding doesn’t require sewing.) While one should be aware that any modification would nullify the warranty, users adding padding and the like have reported being happy with the resulting fit -- especially at this previously unheard-of price level for this type of product.

Q: 4. Can this be be used with Steadicam Steadimate? Or do I need some sort of adapter?

A: The load limits of this arm are listed by CAME-TV as 2.5-15 kg / 5.5- 33 lbs.
