Cineshot of Helicopter

THE LATEST EVOLUTION IN 6-AXIS STABILIZATION

Cineshot, the world’s most adaptable 6-axis stabilized camera system, with the ability to become physically smaller or larger. This gives users the ultimate flexibility when choosing their payload with only minimal balance weights and eliminating the need for complex bracketry at a price that is now affordable!

About

The Cineshot was designed in Queenstown, New Zealand by award winning engineers with years of experience designing gyro stabilized gimbals for the film industry, television, electronic news gathering, sporting events, wildlife videography as well as search and surveillance. Mechanical 3D CAD, electrical PCB and software design is done in-house. We have a full machine shop with CNC capability which allows us to quickly design, test and manufacture components. Every system is assembled and tested by our team.
