Camera support payload chart
Updated 18 Oct 2026
Payload ratings for 116 heads, gimbals and supports, sorted by maximum payload. Counterbalance ratings are often given at a stated centre of gravity (e.g. 100 mm); a taller rig needs more counterbalance.
Add up camera body, lens, matte box, battery, monitor and wireless before you choose, and compare with the cinema camera weight chart. Figures are as listed on each item's GEARMATH page, which records manufacturer specifications. Check the manufacturer before you rely on a number.
