Moment Universal Gimbal Counterweight — dial in balance for any lens-and-gimbal combo on the road
The gist: A velcro-strap counterweight that adjusts in 30g steps, letting mobile filmmakers balance a Zhiyun, Evo, or Osmo gimbal against whatever lens they've clipped on that day.
- Adjustable 60g / 90g / 120g configuration — unscrew weight in 30g increments to match your exact phone, case, and lens combo instead of settling for one fixed weight.
- Broad gimbal compatibility: works with Zhiyun Smooth 4/5/Q, Evo Shift, and older DJI Osmo Mobile 1/2 gimbals, useful if you travel with third-party rigs.
- Velcro strap + rubber pad attachment for quick on/off swaps between shooting setups without tools.
- 2-year warranty backs the build for regular field use.
No Film School's Liz Nord, covering Moment's counterweight system for gimbal filmmaking, noted that add-on lenses "threw off the gimbal's ability to properly stabilize the camera" before counterweights like this solved the imbalance for creators shooting anamorphic and wide lenses.
Best for: traveling creators running anamorphic or wide-angle Moment lenses on a Zhiyun or Evo gimbal. Skip it if: you shoot with a bare phone or on a newer Osmo that takes Moment's screw-on counterweight instead — the velcro strap can wear with heavy daily use. Runs ~$10 — check the current price before buying.
