Gyro-Stabilised Brushless Motor Gimbals
For GoPro and Sony Nex 5 only. 3 axis and 360 degree rotation. These rigs need to be very carefully balanced. So it it not possible to do them for any camera at a low price. We decided to concentrate on the GoPro and Nex 5 in order to provide video for as many professional
cameramen as possible. They give superb, stable video and photos and can be lifted with the 3m3 Skyshot Helikite.
Custom Gimbals
Any camera can be fitted with a custom made pan/tilt/zoom rig. The cost is much greater as it involves development but this is interesting work. Brushless gimbals too, although they take more time. Please ask us for an estimate for your favorite system.
