Steadicam Steadimate-RS Gimbal Yoke, Base, and Balance Stud

Transform Your DJI Gimbal into a Full-Body Stabilization System

The Steadicam Steadimate-RS Gimbal Yoke, Base, and Balance Stud is a powerful accessory system that enhances the performance of your DJI RS 2, RS 3, or RS 3 Pro gimbal by integrating it with a professional Steadicam arm and vest. This upgrade transforms your handheld gimbal into a full-body stabilization rig, transferring the rig’s weight from your arms to your core for more extended and fatigue-free shooting.

Designed for professional operators and serious filmmakers, the Steadimate-RS provides smoother movement across all axes, increased stability during complex shots, and improved weight distribution for longer production days. It brings together Steadicam’s legendary stabilization expertise with the advanced motorized performance of DJI gimbals—giving you the best of both worlds.

Professional Gimbal Mounting System for Body-Worn Rigs

At the heart of the kit is a precision-machined yoke that cradles your DJI RS 2, RS 3, or RS 3 Pro gimbal with a dovetail mounting system for a secure and balanced fit. This yoke includes an integrated handle designed with a standard 1/2″ mounting post, making it fully compatible with most Steadicam-style arms and vests. This seamless interface turns your handheld gimbal into a fully supported rig in seconds—no complicated tools or time-consuming setup required.

Fine-Tuned Balance Control for Smooth Shots

The included post assembly and balance stud offer detailed vertical alignment and balance adjustment via T-slot channels, enabling you to fine-tune your rig’s center of gravity quickly. This is essential when balancing heavy or front-loaded camera setups, especially when switching between lens configurations or adding accessories like wireless transmitters or monitors.

To further enhance control, the kit comes with eight stackable counterweights (two 8 oz and two 4 oz) and two stainless steel 15mm rods. These rods follow the industry-standard 60mm spacing, allowing compatibility with a range of support accessories. The weight system requires no tools for adjustment or removal, allowing for fast reconfiguration on set.

Mounting Options for Expanded Configurations

For even greater flexibility, both the integrated yoke handle and the counterweights include multiple 1/4″-20 mounting points, letting you mount accessories such as monitors, wireless systems, or cable clamps. This keeps your rig clean, balanced, and highly functional—whether you’re running and gunning or shooting cinematic motion sequences.

Ergonomic Benefits and All-Day Shooting Comfort

The biggest advantage of the Steadimate-RS system is its ability to transfer the load from your arms to your hips using a compatible stabilizer vest and arm (sold separately). This ergonomic shift not only reduces operator fatigue but also allows for more stable, fluid camera movement, even during complex maneuvers or extended takes. With the Steadimate-RS, handheld-style cinematography becomes more versatile, controlled, and production-ready.
