Cinema Mini 512

The Cinema Mini 512, <50lbs (22 kg) with payload, is the ideal gimbal platform for light aircraft such as the Guimbal Cabri G2 and R44, or vehicle and marine mounts, when larger camera and lens payloads are not required. 

This small and light system has all the performance features of other GSS systems, including stabilized look-down. As with all GSS gimbals, the Cinema Mini 512 is well-suited for a variety of applications including aerial, ground vehicle, marine mounted and more.
