Beyond The Helicopter: GSS Custom Design Services

Gimbals should go above and beyond the standard helicopter. When your project requires ground rigging from a ship or truck, as filmed during Deadliest Catch or a Teton Gravity Research project, a custom design should be within reach.

“We have mounted the C520 (Cinema Pro+) on cars, trucks, boats and small 4-wheel drive vehicles,” says Co-Founder, Executive Producer & Co-Director of Teton Gravity Research, Todd Jones.

“You can have it on a truck in the morning and move it onto a helicopter in under an hour.”

Decades of experience allow GSS engineers to develop gimbal systems which accommodate custom designs. We design every model with room for modifications as camera and lens technologies change and integrate systems to your needs.

After purchasing your gimbal, contact GSS who, along with companies including Paradigm SRP LLC, can develop unique systems fitted for your production, surveillance or broadcast needs.

Aerial Camera Systems meets the Cineflex Pro +

GSS customer Aerial Camera Systems received their first GSS Cineflex Pro + this summer and inaugurated their new gimbal at this year’s Wimbledon Championships.

This system is contoured with the Grass Valley LDX-C86N Compact Camera and Canon CJ45 lens. For the first time, the Cineflex Pro + will help capture the legendary hoisted aerial shots of the All England Club in UHD/HDR. GSS’s newest customer has added to their state of the art gimbals and will now have the option of using their GSS Cineflex Pro + or Cineflex gimbals for various broadcast projects.

“We’re delighted to add the Cineflex Pro + to our inventory of stabilized gimbals. We’ve made some significant investments in equipment this year, recognizing the growing demand for 4K UHD formats.”

Operations Director Dave Whitlock

We look forward to the content ACS will release in the future with their new GSS gimbal, which will allow them to take on new payloads and revolutionize camera stability in the European market. ACS plans to use the Cineflex Pro + at upcoming sporting events this August.

GSS Branding, Website & Logo Refresh

Our new branding and website were unveiled at the HAI Heli-Expo 2018 and you may be wondering why we rebranded, and the strategy behind it. (Or, you may not be wondering...and in that case, you can stop reading here and just admire our aesthetically pleasing new logo and website.)

With our acquisition of Cineflex in October 2017, we set out to approach the future of GSS by continuing the legacy that Cineflex began and expand on the technologies that were pioneered. As engineers, advancing our gimbal technology and capabilities is truly what we live for.

We also wanted our branding to match our forward vision as we grow. With that in mind, our new logo and branding is bold, clean, forward-thinking, futuristic and clearly identifies who we are as a company.

Our new website also embodies a bold, clean and modern feel.  It is intuitive to navigate and is mobile-friendly! You can choose from the succinct options in our top navigation bar or click on the search icon to search exactly what you are looking for on our website.

You can conveniently message us directly from any product page if you have any questions, or wish to learn more about purchasing a product.

We look forward to the years to come of leading and developing the world’s highest quality gyro-stabilized systems.
