DESIGN SERVICES
Extensive experience with gyro-stabilization technology enables GSS to develop custom stabilized platforms for numerous applications. GSS also provides design services to seamlessly integrate new camera and sensor technologies into current platforms as they become available.
transform your vision into reality
We’ve tackled a diverse array of projects, each uniquely tailored to meet specific client needs and industry demands. From cutting-edge gimbals to complex mechanical systems, our portfolio showcases our commitment to innovation, precision, and quality.
Our Process is Simple
Our unique custom design process typically starts with a 3D model or a .STEP file. With your 3D model and electrical requirements, we will come up with a design. (It’s typically that easy.)
Whether you’re dreaming of a cutting-edge gimbal or a revolutionary new product, we bring your ideas to life with unparalleled expertise.
what we need to know
Stabilization Requirements: What is the level of stabilization needed based on the application?
Sensor Type and Specifications: This includes weight and size, resolution, sensitivity and field of view.
Sensor Control: What do you want the sensor to do? What are the communication protocols and data outputs?
Environmental Conditions: Will this operate in extreme temperatures, humidity or rain? What are the speed requirements for vibration and shock?
Mount Requirements: What will this be mounted to? We specialize in land, sea and air applications. We also create devices accessible for all three.
Design Considerations
Variable Axis Configurations
2-Axis Gimbal: A two-axis system provides pan and tilt stabilization and is suitable for directional pointing.
3-Axis Gimbal: The third axis adds a roll axis offering more comprehensive stabilization for dynamic movements.
4-Axis Gimbal: A fourth axis introduces an outer shell so the inner axis is isolated and environmentally sealed. There is no outer roll axis. This design can be used for specialized applications where roll jitter is acceptable.
5-Axis Gimbal: A five-axis system supplies pan and tilt outer axis along with pan, tilt and roll inner axis for when the highest level of stability and stabilized roll is required.
6-Axis Gimbal: This level incorporates vector steering to a 5-axis system for stabilized look-down.
Superior Build Materials
We prioritize using only the highest quality materials to meet the unique needs of your project. By combining these advanced materials, we ensure that each component of your design is engineered for peak performance, reliability, and longevity. Each material has unique advantages:
Carbon fiber: exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring durability while maintaining a lightweight profile
Stainless steel: superior resistance to corrosion and robust structural integrity, perfect for demanding environments
Aluminum: provides a perfect balance of lightweight properties and strength, making it ideal for versatile applications (We use only the highest aerospace-grade aluminum on the market.)
Ingenious Design Team with Exceptional Craftsmanship
Our design process is marked by innovation and creativity. We leverage the latest technologies and industry best practices to craft designs that are not only functional but also aesthetically superior.
Motors and Actuators: We use high-precision motors capable of providing smooth and responsive control across all desired axes.
Frame and Structure: We design a robust, lightweight frame to support the motors and payload ensuring balance and durability.
Sensors & Firmware: We integrate sensors and customized firmware that provides responsive and accurate stabilization.
Customization & Reliability
GSS has engineered a future proof design for a market that is constantly evolving. As new cameras, lenses, sensors, and accessories are developed, GSS is ready for them with hundreds of configurations available to fit specific requirements!
At GSS, we take great pride in providing innovative solutions to custom requests and creating a product that has unwavering reliability for the most demanding situations.
Shooting in 8K or higher? No problem! GSS solutions offer full support for whatever resolution you’re shooting. Not only that, but we support zoom potential of well over 46X.
GSS is currently contracted with Paradigm SRP LLC, and several other companies, to develop custom gyro-stabilized products for production, law enforcement, and military applications.
