The AX18
is an ultra-light 18 inch 5-axis gyro stabilized gimbal system providing unshakable stability. It was designed from ground up to support many different broadcast and cine camera and lens options.
Payloads are fully pre-assembled onto the payload tray, including all lens-motors and balancing weights, and can be transported to the set and rigged into the gimbal within minutes.

The GCU-1
…has been designed to give the operator full control over the gimbal, camera, and lens, without the need to take his eyes off the preview monitor.
To aid this paradigm, all 23 knobs, buttons, and switches are fully assignable and customizable and saved to profiles, which are created based on camera, operator, or environment. The high-brightness touchscreen provides on-demand information about turret, camera, and lens status and functions.
