GSM 4000 - Gyro Stabilization Mount

The GSM 4000 is the flagship of the airborne product line and was developed for large format sensors. SOMAG‘s largest three axes gimbal is extremely powerful with a payload up to 120 kg. The control panel on top of the mount guarantees user-friendly handling. The USB port allows you to connect the device with the SOMAG Mount Control App.

Key Features

  • Hydraulic gimbal system for highest stiffness with unmatched dynamics
  • Lift up function for easy accessibility of the camera lens or the bottom of the sensor
  • Passive Vibration Isolation Ring for decoupling of high frequency oscillations
  • Usable with SOMAG Mount Control App
