Why Gyron?  - Seeking Perfection (cont):

Consistently better gimbal designs were coming out of the
aerospace industry. Seeking out the best of the best that the field
had to offer, and teaming them up with Hollywood's finest became
the goal. Dan's Vectorvison partner, Bob Nettmann, was clearly
the right participant on the Hollywood side.  From the aerospace
industry, all of the line of sight stabilization research narrowed
down to two extremely talented engineers; Brad Fritzel and Dave
Hiley. Bringing them all together culminated in the formation of the
Gyron Development Group.  Dan's exclusive contract with
Wescam was then sold back to Istec and Gyron Systems
International was formed to back the development of the new
Gyron products in addition to taking on all of the marketing and
operational functions. After several years of research and
development, including literally hundreds of hours of flight-testing,
the Gyron Development Group and Gyron Systems International
gave birth to the absolute best gyrostabilized gimbal on the planet,
the Gyron 935 HI-DEF. It's all about the inner gimbal order,
innovative software, space-age gyro-technology and direct-drive mechanisms that are both rugged and extremely precise. Vastly
improved levels of reliability were also achieved with the new
design. No other gimbal even comes close.

A dozen units were manufactured and distributed internationally.
One very high profile aerial provider, Goodyear Blimp Operations, recognized the superior quality and performance and immediately
ordered Gyrons for their entire blimp fleet. Other units went to Aerial Camera Systems in London and Wildcat Films in Scotland. Two
units remained here in the United States within Gyron's rental
division, Gyron Eagle. All of these units form the backbone of the
rental inventory for virtually every quality oriented aerial video/
HI-DEF provider worldwide.

The Gyron Development Group ended up being dissolved and Bob Nettmann went on to design and build an amazing open-architecture version of the gimbal to accept a wide variety of film camera and lens packages. The Gyron FS and Super G became the film platforms gold standard.

Gyron Systems International is the provider of these complete turnkey
film based gimbals including their STC'd helicopter nose brackets
and Arri 435 camera package including the Angenieux 10 to 1 zoom.
The FS and Super G units are fully capable of integrating almost any
camera package imaginable. This is the very best solution for
shooting film from the aerial perspective.

Gyron System’s team of aerospace-based engineers continued
down the path to develop high-end, closed-architecture gimbal
stabilization solutions focusing on the emerging digital / HI DEF
regime. Holding these packages of extremely high quality sensors
with large mass, long focal length optics, jitter-free, became the
ultimate challenge. Several years of hard work and relentless
testing are now complete as Gyron Systems is about to introduce a
completely new gimbal that is capable of providing incredible
stability and creative latitude with packages such as Panavision's
Genesis with their 11 to 1 zoom. Other combinations include
Arri's Alexa, Sony's F23 / F35, RED and virtually any other high-end sensor. With the ability to incorporate all of these large, high resolution /
high dynamic range sensors, the sky is no longer the limit.

Gyron's incredible stability will be able to provide the expanded
capability of digital image enhancement for the potential to multiply
the telephoto reach by several times. All of these possibilities are
about to become reality with Gyron System's soon to be released
Gyron 945.

Among others, high-end aerial surveillance users will soon be
presented a completely new standard of excellence.
