Tilta were showcasing their new Armor-Man gimbal support system. It features a 3 part system including fully adjustable arms that are spring loaded, the springs act as stabilising unit that counteracts the vertical motion that an operator creates when walking or running. Fully adjustable wrist bands are connected to the arms and then all of this is connected to the adjustable vest which features a v mount battery mounting solution that powers the gimbal system through a lemo connector.

The system can hold up to 25lb (11.3kg) and retails for $2200 US.
