The next generation in gyro-stabilized remote heads, the heavy-duty G30 delivers precision in movement as well as superior image stabilization.

The oversized frame of the G30 means there's no need to use counterweights with large camera payloads to compensate for a gyro frame that is too short. The unique frame design, combined with powerful motors and easy balancing system, helps to balance a heavy payload.
With a weight of 27kg (excluding isolator) and a 30kg/66lbs maximum rated payload, the oversize motors and stub-frame design ensure that the G30 can provide stabilized movement for almost any camera and lens package chosen by the DP.
The G30’s unique frame geometry combined with a re-ordered axis priority (pan, roll, tilt) means that even when the mounted camera is pointing directly down, there is no gimbal lock and all three axes of movement and stability are active.
The unique oversized frame geometry also provides easy access to all the camera connections and accessories, making camera loading fast and simple. Its shorter and stiffer frame delivers better extended crane performance, ensuring the smoothest looking images.
On the back of the G30 are controls for Pan, Tilt, Roll. Pressing each button in turn enables the operator to adjust the axis chosen whilst the G30 holds the camera package in the other two axes. This dramatically reduces the time taken to balance the camera package across all three axes.
G30 balancing is further improved with the addition of indexing plungers to the roll and tilt axis. These enable the operator to lock off each axis independently during set-up, and also aid safe transportation
The G30’s high torque output oversize motors makes for crisp and precise camera movement, with optimum stabilization. Its built-in encoders are designed for virtual production and greenscreen use, meaning the G30 can be used for VFX shots without the need for re-rigging or additional external encoders.
The dial console for the G30 takes its design includes a shallow menu structure, a display showing the operator current parameter settings, and physical controls for direct, tactile, intuitive operation. This is the optimum interface for stressed production environments, where changes need to be fast and delays minimised.
Using a combination of the G30’s assisted balancing, simple cage adjustment, and dial console, tuning a camera package for optimum performance is simple and fast compared to traditional gyro-stabilised heads. This process is further accelerated by smart features and factory presets available through the dial console, including: a library of camera/lens weight presets, console pre-set buttons and recall of previously used camera settings.
The G30’s drive motors all contain ‘through holes’, eliminating the need for slip rings and specialized cables. As a result, standard cables and connectors can be used to connect camera and lens packages, giving the DP a wide choice of equipment.
