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.
