KS-4 Gyro
Versatile in its stabilization capability for high power binoculars, the Universal KS-4 provides lowest cost per device served. Ultra heavy metal gyro rims enable maximum stabilization in a minimum casing size. Military tested and approved, the KS-4 has shown the recognition capability of binoculars to be improved 2.4 times. For photographic work in low light levels, exposures to 1 second can be used (hand held). Hand-held devices to four (4) pounds can be easily stabilized by the KS-4.

KS-6 Gyro
Designed to handle the more difficult assignments, the KS-6 provides almost twice the stabilization of the KS-4. Steady sequences with smooth panning from helicopters, boats or any moving vehicle is now a possibility. Troublesome vibrations are dampened out for medium format cameras or long lenses, without the loss of hand-held freedom of motion. The KS-6 is easily attached to camcorders, videotape television cameras, etc. to realize the full potential of telephoto and zoom lenses. One or two KS-6 gyros are often used for in steadicam systems. The KS-6 is recommended for equipment as heavy as 6 lbs.
