FEATURES

HDMI SUPPORT

SMA SUPPORT

SINGLE ARM DESIGN

Having HDMI ports on the gimbal allows camera setup more convenience and clean.

Having SMA ports on the gimbal allows GPS antena of some special cameras (Dual Pro R, for example ) could be connected easily without having the antena cable get twisted during gimbal operation

Having single arm design enable light weight but still maintain rigidity and allow camera set up easier.

MORE I/O

HIGH PERFORMANCE GIMBAL CONTROLLER

HEATED & TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED IMU

Having more I/O allows user more exibilities and connections to interface with

external devices and third party products.

gMotion Controller, designed and made by Gremsy based on a 32 bit high performance ARM microprocessor providing fast response and accurate calculation. Sensor data and motors correction are updated as fast as 2000 times per second to enable incredibly smooth footage.

Heated and temperature controlled IMU sensor with advanced 6-point calibration allows reliable performance even in extreme weather. Temperature is maintained within 0.2 degrees Celsius accuracy.

COMPACT & ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT

BUILT FOR INSPECTION

CLEAN DESIGN - INTERNAL WIRING

Small in hand, powerful in the sky. The slimmed down S1 is small enough to t

into your backpack and take anywhere, yet strong enough to handle up to 1.5 lbs payload.

S1 has powerful built-in functions that are completely compatible with thermal

and zoom cameras, dual camera to perfectly fulll their duties with minimal setup

and equipment.

No exterior wires, more solid. This clean design helps the S1 overcome wind resistance with ease to bring out the best video quality while staying agile.
