Its compact carbon fiber construction means it ships as excess baggage on commercial flights worldwide with no export restrictions.

The K1 is the only motion picture grade aerial camera system with no ITAR restrictions or EAR licensing requirements, allowing it to be shipped anywhere in the world without State Department approval.

CINEFLEX V14 & GSS
Our two Cineflex gimbals support the broadcast and production industry with their unparalleled 5-axis gyro-stabilization in the air, at sea and on rough terrain.
