Admiral Gyro Kit
Knowing that camera movement destroys image sharpness but that profitable pictures are often made on the run, smart pros seek a compromise between tripod and handheld exposures. Countless portable supports exist, but even if a stationary object can be found on location, critical shots can be lost in the time needed to set up. Minimum clarity sometimes depends on use - a soft image being acceptable, say, for news but not evidence work - but when the maximum percentage of tack sharp handheld shots are needed the gyro stabilizer is in order
Enter the Kenyon Gyro Stabilizer, a small, battery-powered, pod-like case that screws into a tripod socket and "floats" the camera in free space with only its weight supported by your hands. The device is maintenance free, works with any camera, spotting scope or binocular and, best of all, retains the freedom and speed of handheld shooting. The Kenyon system is neither a musing of some future technology nor a magic trick, but an intelligent applicaiton of basic physics.
The Admiral has been developed to provide Ken-Lab's simplified stabilization for camera equipment in the 8 to 12 pound range. Through the use of heavy metal tungsten wheels the effect of two KS-6 units is achieved in a standard KS-6 housing, with no increase in running power required. This is Gyro's most powerful unit to date.
Engineered and built for demanding field conditions, Kenyon Gyro Stabilizers are, in the manufacturer's words, the invisible tripod of countless uses. Press and nature photographers will appreciate slower shutter speeds with long lenses, and videographers will save on production costs by handholding sequences previously requiring a dolly. Stabilization equipment is not inexpensive, but your image, both photographic and professional, is well worth the investment.
