Gyron FS

The Gyron FS parlays the technology developed for the Gyron 935 and Gyron HiDef into a system for motion picture aerial cinematography.

Originally developed as a remote head for ground-based cinematography, the Gyron FS utilizes an assortment of gyros in various arrangements for stability.

The head also presents a new technology in this medium in the way of magnetic resistence for additional stabilization.

As mentioned this head was initially developed for ground-based shooting and as such can be mounted on insert cars and cranes. For aerial use the head is fitted with a wind shroud to protect the inner pan and tilt from wind-induced movement.

The system can be flown open-architecture to accommodate other camera/lens combinations, but is not recommended as standard practice.
