K-Mount MAXI

 

Dear beloved Rotoheads and Gyrothusiasts,

did you ever put electronics, worth a couple hundred thousands on a cheap DIY mount, hoping that everything will go right? Horrible to imagine something could go wrong.

But over the past decade there were quite some cases, where exactly this happened, leading to heavy repairs or even complete destruction of high end camera systems. Bottom line is: You don't want to go cheap on everything that is between your camera and the ground.

We took our numerous experiences forward and designed the K-Mount Series. Now this series supports even heavier models, like the GSS 520, Shotover K1 and many more. For lighter Systems like the Cineflex® or DynaX5 there is our incredible Universal K-Mount covering the shock absorbing needs. The K-Mount Series  is fully customizable and secures your valuable gyro stabilized system, making your investment more versatile and enabling you to cover a larger variety of events and jobs.

Stability and lateral movement

The biggest challenge for filming on hard terrain are the high forces being applied to the mount. To cancel out the hard gravital acceleration the MAXI uses a high tech ÖHLINS damper, which are known for prestigious applications on high performance tuning race motorcycles.

Against the lateral forces the reinforced design with the torsion resistant counterforts works it's magic. The technique known for architectural masterpieces tackles the extreme lateral movements. On first sight all the engieering applied on the design is invisble. But the MAXI is real high tech milled out of solid 7075-T6 hard coated aluminum. A masterpiece with unmatched stability.
