Description
SmartSystem U-Bracket for 5/8″ Post – Designed for Steadicam® M2
Enhanced Monitor Clearance & Mounting Flexibility for Professional Steadicam Operators
The SmartSystem U-Bracket for 5/8″ post is a custom-engineered support accessory designed exclusively for Steadicam® M2 gimbals. This bracket increases the vertical clearance between your arm post and sled handle, creating the additional headroom required for mounting external monitors, accessories, or custom grips — all without compromising stability or rig balance.
Built with precision and durability in mind, the SmartSystem U-Bracket allows professional operators to configure their Steadicam setup with greater freedom, ergonomic comfort, and clean monitor placement.
Purpose-Built for Steadicam® M2
Seamless Fit and Function with M2 Gimbal Systems
Unlike generic solutions, this bracket is specifically designed for the Steadicam® M2, ensuring perfect mechanical compatibility. The integrated locking pin is engineered to match the M2 gimbal’s geometry, ensuring a tight, reliable connection between the arm post and the bracket—no wobble, no modification required.
Note: This bracket is not compatible with other gimbal models — it is designed only for the Steadicam® M2.
More Room, Better Rigging
Increased Clearance for Monitor Mounting & Accessories
By extending the offset between the 5/8″ arm post and the sled handle, the U-Bracket gives operators valuable extra space to mount a monitor in their preferred viewing position — improving monitor visibility, setup customization, and operator comfort. It’s ideal for builds that require side handles, wireless receivers, or bulkier on-board monitors.
Durable, Machined Construction
Engineered for Long-Term Professional Use
CNC-machined from high-grade aluminum, the U-Bracket is designed to withstand the rigors of professional production environments. It is lightweight, rigid, and finished with precision anodizing to resist corrosion and wear over time. SmartSystem’s Italian craftsmanship ensures that every bracket maintains tight tolerances and industry-leading quality.

-
Steadicam Operators using M2 gimbals looking for more headroom
-
Cinematographers who rely on mounted monitors for framing and focus
-
Camera Assistants & Gimbal Techs needing fast, secure monitor integration
