Thanksgiving with GSS
Happy Thanksgiving from the GSS family to you! 2018 has been an incredible year for us and the entire gyro-stabilized gimbal industry.
We have accomplished so much this year. After our Cineflex acquisition at the end of last year, we focused on re-branding our look, our gimbal products and sharing these top of the line systems with our community online! We had a fun and successful trip to IFC Amsterdam and also acquired Arctic Built, the best solution to rigging your gimbal to a Robinson helicopter! We are very proud of what this year has brought us and can’t wait to see what 2019 has in store.
Since we started in 2011, it’s been your passion for film and capturing the world that drives us to create the best gimbals in the industry. To all of our clients and supporters, thank you for guiding and encouraging our efforts along the way. Your support means everything to us, and we are so grateful
If you want to learn more about our GSS technologies or have any questions at all, please feel free to call us or message us and we will get back to you as soon as we can! We’re always around 24/7 to answer your gimbal needs.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving,
The GSS Team

B512+Ikegami HDL-F3000+Fujinon 42x=Amazing Low-Light Broadcast Solution
GSS was fortunate to get our hands on a pre-production Ikegami HDL-F3000 low-light broadcast camera to begin the process of integration into our Broadcast Series stabilized platforms. Testing the camera in low-light conditions proved to be successful with great sensor sensitivity, image quality and paint box control. Once the camera becomes commercially available, it will be another interesting choice for professional broadcast applications.
Even more exciting is that the camera when married with a Fujinon 42x or Canon 40X lens fits inside our new GSS B512 platform. At approximately 55 lbs/23 kg, this is the smallest and lightest professional low-light broadcast solution on the market.
If you would like to learn more please contact Nick Ricciardi, VP of Sales.
Customer Spotlight: Papa Sierra
Since 1993, Papa Sierra has been shooting broadcast and production aerials worldwide. With operations based in France, they are currently operating 8 gimbal platforms. In July, they received their first GSS C520 system and announced their adoption of GSS in a French cinema trade article seen here. In the article, they point out that Papa Sierra took several months to fly the system before choosing GSS against all competition in the broadcast and production market spaces.
Among their many projects, Papa Sierra has worked with Yann-Arthus Bertrand on Home(2009), a visually stunning documentary with aerial scenes from 54 countries around the world and French director Luc Besson.
Currently, they are working on Yann-Arthus Bertrand's newest documentary scheduled for release in 2017.
To say we are looking forward to seeing the results from Papa Sierra's future projects would be an understatement.
ittle White From the Sky
Pretty amazing kayaking edit from Rush Sturgis, and our friends at River Roots. The aerials were shot by Brian Wulf using Teton Gravity Research's GSS C520, on a beautiful day in March, on the White Salmon River.
TGR Turns 21
Speaking of Teton Gravity Research, they just released the Tight Loose trailer to celebrate TGR turning 21. Additional background on the film as well as show times and locations can be found here.
