Seabourn Venture Offers Intimate Wildlife View with GSS Mast Camera
This summer, Seabourn Venture became the most recent ultra-luxury ocean and expedition cruise ship to acquire and install the GSS Cineflex Pro Marine 512EX gimbal to capture the stunning views and natural wonders of life at sea. With an onboard TV channel dedicated exclusively to the GSS Mast Camera, passengers have 24/7 access to the magnificent beauty of the travel adventure from anywhere on the ship.
“The GSS Mast Camera has delivered on everything we wanted to achieve on Seabourn Venture - a view to the world. The detail in which our guests view wildlife is unmatched in the expedition industry!”
The GSS Cineflex Pro Marine 512EX is a weatherproof system mounted to the masthead of the ship and streams 4K UHD video throughout the ship utilizing an impressive 2430mm of zoom. Equipped with scene lock and video tracker, this system easily and effectively captures and records the natural beauty of the expedition along with significant wildlife moments. From waddling penguin colonies to feisty fur seals, the GSS Mast Camera allows for up-close views of the untamed wildlife among the scenic sounds, fjords, channels and glaciers.
With customized details, the GSS Marine Gimbal Series is especially designed to survive the harsh conditions of life at sea with features and functions that create ease and beauty for both the operators and viewers.
Materials: While most GSS gimbals are made of carbon fiber and aluminum, the GSS Marine Series uses stainless steel and carbon fiber adding a protective film and excellent corrosion resistance.
Accessibility: To make steering the gimbal seamless and simple, GSS engineers converted the serial control feed to IP with the ability to run on the ship’s network. Now, the Seabourn crew can plug into an ethernet port anywhere on the ship to control the gimbal over IP.
Video Auto-Tracker Feature: Seabourn elected to add the video tracking feature which enables the operator to easily follow the unpredictable movement of the subject by “locking on” the image and setting it to auto track.
Glass Wiper: To capture all the exceptional wildlife moments and achieve clarity in a variety of weather conditions, GSS designed a custom “windshield wiper” for the front glass of the gimbal to allow for picture clarity amidst the storms.
Designed for exploration and outfitted for adventure, Seabourn Venture offers a multitude of luxury features for an extraordinary travel experience. Gyro-Stabilized Systems provides the most advanced and sought-after gimbal technologies in the world with the most stable platform solutions. If you can dream it, you can do it with a GSS gimbal.
