The Perfect Camera Mount Stabilizer for Land, Air, or Sea

Filmmakers today have a wealth of options. Gone are the days when motion pictures and television needed to be produced on a sound stage. Today's cameras are light and portable, allowing cinematographers a chance to follow the action wherever it may lead, especially with the help of our camera stabilizer.

Consider the average television show, perhaps one where detectives are asked to crack open the case of an unsolved crime. Camera personnel must be able to follow every page in the script, exactly as the writer has envisioned them. To do this the camera has to keep up with actors, who may be running at breakneck pace or hanging onto the roof of a vehicle as it careens at high speed. With the right camera mount, shots like this are no problem at all.

The Gyrobot

Experienced camera personnel know that older pieces of equipment like the Glidecam, Steadicam or Merlin Stabilizer aren't always right. While they were “state of the art” several decades ago, these camera mounts are too heavy and clunky for highly complicated photography. Thankfully our camera stabilizer, the Gyrobot, offers solutions the film and television industry requires for camera work on any surface, element or medium.
The Gyrobot is perfect for use from moving vehicles and watercraft of all sizes. This lightweight and diminutive mount is also easily attached to planes, helicopters, gliders and drones. Should a shot necessitate walking or running in pace with the actors, it additionally works well with pieces of hand-held camera equipment.

Lightweight and Flexible
Some might think that saying the Gyrobot is lighter and more adaptable than a standard Steadicam is an understatement. Each Gyrobot is constructed of Aluminum and Carbon Fiber. That's why it weighs a mere 19 pounds without a Shock Tube and 21 pounds with its Shock Tube in place.

Other facts about the Gyrobot are equally impressive. It holds a camera package of up to 32 pounds and comes packed its own case with wheels. Don't worry if you're shooting at sea, as its case is water tight and has a strong strap for carrying it from location to location.

This is just the beginning, as the Gyrobot has two KS-8 Kenyon Gyros. In addition to a camera head that is able to tilt as needed, the hand grip is completely adjustable too. Only slightly heavier with a Nonlinear Shock Tube, the Gyrobot also has a Shock Tube Extender and a camera tray that releases quickly. When not in use, four small red legs support your camera for added security.
​
Ready for Land, Air and Sea
Quite simply, the Gyrobot literally defines the phrase “Run & Gun.” Economically, the Gyrobot makes sense too. This camera mount requires no installation and needs no prior FAA approval before it can be put to use. In addition to being rented from Tyler Camera Systems, Gyrobots can be purchased through Tyler dealer locales across the globe.

One of the most important parts of videography is ensuring smooth, clean, stable shots. There is almost nothing more annoying than shaky, jerky shot. Getting a smooth, clean shot every time can be a struggle for even the best camera men and videographers. There are a number of great camera mount stabilizers on the market, from glide cams to car mounts, but few of them compare to the Gyrobot from Tyler Mounts. The Gyrobot, just as the Tyler Minigyro uses 2-Kenyon K-8 gyros that provide opposing forces to ensure you get the cleanest, smoothest shot with no shaking or jittering.  Both Gyrobot and Tyler Minigyro are a handheld stabilizing camera mount that is ideal for all types of shooting platforms, from helicopters to cars, boats and ATV's and even walking.

While there are many camera mounts that can do all of the same things that the Gyrobot and Minigyro do, what sets them apart are the stabilization they provide. Many camera mount stabilizers can be used to mount a camera on a car or provide a smooth and steady walking shot, but the Gyrobot and Minigyro can aid a stable, steady shot from bumpy terrain or roads. The mounts can be used to stabilize camera’s on an ATV, motorcycle or even motocross bike. Bumpy roads are improved because of the Tyler Minigyro and Gyrobot's K-8 gyros, which helps keep your camera shot steady and stable. You can even mount a GoPro for additional footage and get the same shake-free shots as with your larger camera package.

The Gyrobot camera mount stabilizer provides a lightweight yet durable Aluminum and Carbon Fiber construction that allows it to carry up to a hefty 32 lb Camera Package. The kit includes a specially developed nonlinear shock tube and extender that helps eliminate vibration. It also comes with an adjustable hand grip, a tilting camera head, a quick release camera tray and a securing strap. The Gyrobot can even be used as a camera stabilizing mount to get great aerial shots with no installation or FAA approval required! With the shock tube, the Gyrobot weighs in at a light and easy 21 lbs and without the shock tube is weighs an incredible 19 lbs.

Both the Tyler Gyrobot and Minigyro stabilizing camera mount were developed by Nelson Tyler, inventor and designer of more than 40 patented products and longtime Cameraman. In 2009, he was the honored recipient of a Life Time Achievement Award by the Society of Operating Cameramen and has won three Academy Awards for Technical Achievement in the Motion Picture Industry. In 2002, he was honored to be named the first Honorary Member of the Motion Picture Pilots Association. In 2004, he received a Fuji Gold Medal Award for Advancement of the Motion Picture Film Industry for the many contributions he has made towards advancing the technology used to create great motion pictures.

Today, the Gyrobot is for sale while the Tyler Minigyro can be rented through one of our world- wide dealers.

Finally, you'll be able to show off your true skills as a director. You've worked out the entire thing in your head, you know every shot and every camera movement when you realize that the speed you need to move at will be too much for even the most high-end camera stabilizer.

You need a stabilizer that can withstand working on cars, motorcycles, ATV's and, for this scene, a helicopter. All of these pieces of equipment you’ve come across previously are huge, expensive and lack any flexibility at all. You need a camera stabilizer that can function both as a helicopter camera mount and as a handheld camera. Something versatile, something sleek, something cool. You need a camera that's crisp and professional. You're out to build a reputation for being the most professional videographer there is, or maybe you're out to maintain that professional reputation.

These mounts are designed to be used in the air or on the ground and keep the footage stable, crisp, and professional the entire time. Tyler Camera Systems has used groundbreaking technology to develop these helicopter camera mounts, and it really shows in the videos.

The variable position handles and adjustable tilt head on these camera stabilizers make moving the camera effortless, while specially designed shock tubes in the mount absorb and reduce vibrations. They are also designed with two Kenyon K-8 gyros that can make a shot smoother by canceling out each other's force. The Tyler Camera Mount Gyrobot and Minigyro can also be mounted with a GoPro for an additional source of footage while recording. If you need to move from stabilized footage to something a little more hand-held, these helicopter camera mounts also come strapped with a quick release camera mounting plate, allowing you to pick the camera up and run with it whenever the need arises.

The Gyrobot and Minigyro allow you to use any kind of camera, as well. Whether you're recording on film, digital, DSLR, or even using a still camera, these helicopter camera mounts will gladly stabilize anything that weighs thirty pounds or less. You could use the Gyrobot camera stabilizer to stabilize most small dogs if they need arises!

How The Camera Stabilizer from Tyler Camera Mounts Will Revolutionize Your Filming

When traveling over rocky or bumpy roads in an ATV, auto, truck or water craft while shooting subjects, many photographers, videographers and filmmakers capture high-quality images by using a camera mount stabilizer. This piece of equipment allows them to get rock-solid images by eliminating the camera vibration that causes blurred which images. Unpaved roads and choppy seas also present a particular challenge to camera operators who want to prevent camera movement.

The Gyrobot camera stabilizer can meet the challenge. It is a small yet versatile device that works well under many difficult conditions, including moving at high speed and crossing rough terrain. It also allows camera operators to take high-quality images and footage from a plane or helicopter moving through the air.

The Gyrobot from Tyler Camera Mounts is a hand-held piece of equipment that employs 2-KS-8 Kenyon gyros to establish opposing forces in order to prevent vibrations from affecting cameras. It is compatible with cameras weighing up to 32 pounds, including 35 mm and GoPro cameras. This camera stabilizer is unobtrusive enough that many cities and towns will allow camera operators to use it without securing a permit.

Professionals who operate cameras know what they want, and this camera mount stabilizer gives them the freedom to accomplish their goal. The aluminum-and-carbon-fiber body of the Gyrobot weighs just 21 pounds with its nonlinear shock tube and 19 pounds without it.

There is no need to unmount the camera when it is not in use because four small red legs allow it to stay upright. This is a time-saver when the user has to take a break or is trying to place the camera in an optimal position. The mount’s quick-release tray permits smooth and quick operation, as does its adjustable hand grip.
Its securing strap keeps the camera safely in place, and the tilting camera head makes getting tightly angled shots easier. The Gyrobot also gets the job done when panning is required. It is shipped in a watertight case fitted with wheels.

Today, viewers are used to seeing images that have great clarity. An image taken under circumstances where there is no camera vibration will be a crisp and clear. The purpose of Tyler Camera Mounts is to create that kind of environment for camera operators.
​
The Gyrobot is manufactured by the company Nelson Tyler, a renowned cameraman and designer of camera equipment, founded in 1964. He has received many industry honors. Among them are the Society of Operating Cameramen Life Time Achievement Award and three Academy Awards for Technical Achievement in the Motion Picture Industry.

Independent filmmakers really have their hands full. They aspire to give their audiences just as many of the same “thrills and spills” found in action films made by the major studios. No where is this more obvious than with the case of aerial filming performed by professionals from moving aircraft. However, this aerial filming has to be done on a small budget that rivals the cost of lunch on one of the majors' sets. To do this well, a filmmaker has to visualize how any situation can be turned around to their advantage.
​
Aerial filming gives us film and video footage that has the potential to be aesthetically striking. It comes as close to having a “bird's eye view” as humanly possible. For this to happen, planes and helicopters need to be safely fitted with a camera mount stabilizer. Unlike decades past, one's camera stabilizer does not have to be big and bulky. On the contrary, it is possible with the Gyrobot camera stabilizer designed and distributed by Tyler Camera Systems Inc.

Found on the Tyler Camera website at www.tylermount.com, the Gyrobot camera mount stabilizer opens up creative possibilities for filmmakers and videographers working at all budgetary levels. This camera mount stabilizer was especially created to be lightweight and easy to maneuver. The Gyrobot features an aluminum and carbon fiber body, making it 2 pounds lighter than the Minigyro. Both the mounts can be used as a helicopter camera mount. Utilizing four small legs, this innovative camera stabilizer is able to support any camera package even when not in operation.

The Gyrobot never fails to impress even the most experienced camera operator. Rugged, durable and manufactured of sturdy aluminum/carbon fiber, it weighs in at an amazing 19 pounds. With the addition of a Nonlinear Shock Tube, the Gyrobot still only weighs only 21 pounds making it perfect as a helicopter camera mount or on anything that moves. Like its cousin the Minigyro, the Gyrobot is able to hold as much as 32 pounds of camera equipment.

Making the Gyrobot a helicopter camera mount par-excellence, is a 2 KS-8 Kenyon Gyros, an adjustable grip and camera head that tilts as needed to get the best shots. Film and video professionals enjoy the ease in which they can proceed in their daily set-up and break-down procedures. This camera stabilizer has a camera tray that releases quickly and smoothly. There are also tough security straps and a water tight shipping case fitted with wheels.

With such worthwhile equipment, filmmakers can stay within their budget and on schedule. Affixed to helicopters or aircraft, the Gyrobot also works to assist Still Photographers find the images they need. Affordability comes in other ways as well. Because a Gyrobot is so small and lightweight, independent filmmakers can use them without having to apply for permits in most municipalities. Again, this saves time, money and a myriad of headaches produced by unnecessary paperwork.

The Gyrobot is for sale, while the Minigyro is in our worldwide dealer’s rental fleet.
