NICEYRIG Gimbal Counterweight Mounting Clamp for Ronin S 🎥

This compact clamp helps you balance side-heavy camera setups such as a BMPCC 4K mounted on a handheld gimbal, offering quick attachment and fine adjustment to restore smooth tracking. The gimbal counterweight mounting clamp allows you to add counterweights and correct imbalance without tools, making set-up faster on location or in the studio.

Key Points

Lightweight and easy to handle, this clamp fits the side arm of popular stabilisers so you can correct off-centre loads and reduce motor strain. It includes a rubber pad to protect camera surfaces from scratches and a T-shaped wingnut for fast, tool-free locking. For rigs that need small adjustments between takes, the clamp gives a practical way to tweak balance on the fly 🎥.

Compatibility covers several models in mainstream gimbal lines, and the adjustable jaw accommodates small rigs as well as slightly bulkier mirrorless cameras. The four 1/4”-20 threaded holes mean you can add up to four counterweights or attach accessories to achieve the desired centre of gravity. Note that heavier cinema lenses or larger full-frame bodies may still require a dedicated arm or external counterweight solution according to the manufacturer.

Usage Recommendations

Attach the clamp to the gimbal side arm and tighten the T-shaped wingnut until secure, making sure the rubber pad sits between the clamp and camera body to avoid marks. Add counterweights incrementally and test balance after each small adjustment to find the point at which the gimbal motors run with less effort. For quick swaps during shoots, loosen the wingnut just enough to slide the clamp rather than fully removing it, which speeds transitions between camera configurations 🔧.

Consider that the clamp’s 23–36 mm range suits many mirrorless cameras and compact cinema bodies, but may not cover very thick rigs or those with extensive cage systems. If your setup includes heavy lenses or large matte boxes, plan for additional support or counterbalance elsewhere on the gimbal. The aluminium construction keeps weight down while still offering a sturdy mounting point, though prolonged heavy loads will still add wear over time.
