Kenyon gyro choice for ARRI Trinity sled: KS2 versus KS4 power and pan-axis interference in mode switching.
What the thread found
- The KS2 gyro is considered insufficient power; when the gyro slips, image instability results.
- The KS4 gyro functions reliably on the Trinity sled during Low/High mode transitions without degrading pan-axis performance; it is adequately weighted and dampens pan movement.
- A single gyro is typically deployed solely to stabilize the pan axis, while the head naturally stabilizes tilt and roll.
- Gyros produce audible noise that requires coordination with sound recording.
Depends on
- Gyro selection depends on payload weight and desired pan stabilization.
- Audio recording must account for gyro noise.
