Universal GSS Accessories
When you purchase a GSS gimbal, feel confident that the best accessories, custom to your system, are available for purchase. For the same quality and customer service as our gimbal systems, more than two dozen additional tools may be added to enhance your gimbal even further.
Gimbals from both our cinema and broadcast series are compatible with twelve universal accessories.
R44 Mount
Within 60 minutes, the three-piece R44 mount may be attached to your aircraft with no outside modifications. It supports payloads up to 100 pounds and may be flown with or without a payload.
R66 Mount
Just like the R44 mount, the R66 mount is both FAA and EASA approved. Carrying up to 115 pounds, this mount transports in three easy pieces and may be purchased with an optional 41-pound counterweight.
Power Distribution Unit
The power distribution unit, compatible in aircraft and on the ground, sends power to other GSS devices. The small, portable system is designed for easy transportation.
Ground power supply
Our sturdy ground power supply unit connects to your GSS system from any standard wall outlet.
Video breakout box
A lighter, smaller alternative to comparable aux boxes, the video break out box will eliminate the need for all other in-air systems.
Vibration Isolator Taper Mount & Vibration Isolator Universal Mount
Improve your image stability and save ten pounds over existing solutions with the vibration ISO taper mount and ISO universal mount.
Power disruption unit
In the event of an emergency, a pilot may easily cut off power to the GSS system.
Lastly, check out our GSS Snout Cover, Power Cable, Laptop Cable and Fiber Video Cable… the best accessories for any of our gimbals. If you have any questions, send us a message!
GSS Acquires Arctic Built, LLC
This week, GSS acquires Arctic Built LLC, the solution for Robinson R44 and R66 helicopter utility camera gimbal mounts.
With this addition, GSS will be the sole owner of these utility mounts and will further extend aerial cinematography capabilities to the cinema, broadcast and surveillance markets.
The FAA and EASA-approved mounts provide the necessary weight and balance when mounting a gimbal on these lighter helicopters. With a maximum load of 100 and 115 pounds respectively, the R44 and R66 mounts require limited installation time and do not require aircraft modifications.
Both mounts are fitted to the right side of the helicopter and have even weight distribution, so they may remain attached while flying with or without a payload. The mounts are compatible with 360 degree systems and LIDAR mapping. As an added bonus, the R44 mount is portable and separates into three pieces to make shipping easy.
Founded by GSS customer Daniel Zatz of ZatzWorks, Arctic Built has designed, tested and sold utility mounts since 2016. The Alaskan-based company worked alongside ZatzWorks for aerial filming.
“I’ve worked with the GSS team since the day I bought my first GSS and Cineflex and there isn’t a finer group of creative engineers anywhere,” states Daniel Zatz. “I’m extremely happy to transfer Arctic Built to GSS and let them continue to innovate and support the broadcast and production communities.”
We are eager to broaden our aerial cinematography service capabilities with this acquisition and offer Arctic Built mounts to the marketplace.
