  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

GYRO-stabilization for aerial cinematography...

Yeah, "normal" Tyler is out of question for us, as we are planning to buy the Robinson R44 Raven II, and as far as I know it (tyler) won't fit and it may cost as much (or more) as the helicopter itself... This little fella however looks like it could fit in both ways...

D'oh!

Looks like I will have to build one myself...
 
New cost effective way for aerial shooting - and not only - HR-1 deluxe with 2 KS4 or 2 KS6 gyros, plus low mode bracket with Bungee cord attachment to hang from sealing of heli close to the door. Perfect CG balancing and dynamic balance, together with gyros, and you have a small tyler like mount , with out breaking the bank.
Easy attachment of gyros via rod bracketing system at back tail. Images soon.. also the Acrobat will do all the above as well..render of cad with future epic on board

We've got a mount in development that is similar to the LSG-2 system of Aerial Exposures... uses 2 KS8s plus a KS12 when a larger camera like the RED is used. Works pretty well, and considering the price differential between Cineflex, Tyler etc. and these "cheaper" systems, it's a good option. Demo footage, using a Canon 5D, here:

I'm about to do a shoot with two KS8 gyros, and wanted to tag a spot on this thread. I'll post my experience here.
