Ken Lab Gyro Stabilizer KS6 - KS8

It is helpful or a must to use the gyro stabilizer when you have to fight wind (which is always the enemy of cardanic stabilized equipment) or on any vehicle like aircraft, boats, cars, long-lense shots, etc..
Steadicam operators often use 2 KS-6 gyros. The Ken Lab Gyro Stabilizer KS8 is rather meant for heavy movie-cameras. The Ken Lab Gyro Stabilizer KS-6 is similarly different (weight!) from the KS-8. Both are same size, the wheels are both spinning at same speed (aprox. 20.000 RPM), same run-time off battery, and both work with the same inverter.
KS-6:
Panning rate: 20 degrees per sec.
weight: 1,5kg (3,25lbs)
KS-8:
Panning rate: 30 degrees per sec.
weight: 2,3kg (5,13lbs)
We also modify gyros and inverters with thin, flexible and lightweight cables.
