Starting amp draw 2.65 dropping to 1.5 at full running speed of 20,000 rpm
Panning rate: 20 degrees per second
Provides almost twice the stabilization of the KS-4.
For equipment weighing up to 6 lbs.

Troublesome vibrations are dampened out for medium format cameras or long lenses without the loss of handheld freedom

Chief
KS-12

Inverter dimensions: 
13" long x 8 1/4" wide x 3 1/2" high and weighs 7 lbs
Gyro dimensions: 
8 1/4" long x 4 5/8" wide x 7" high and weighs 17 lbs.

The inverter required to run the gyros can run two KS-12's at one time. We have 2 types available; an 11-16 VDC or a 22-32 VDC. One gyro draws 7-8 amps at the start and drops to around 3 amps at full running speed using the 22-32 VDC inverter. One gyro draws draws about 16 amps at start up and drops to around 7 amps using the 11-16 VDC inverter. If running 2 gyros, the amp draw is approximately double.

Our most powerful gyro.The KS-12 has been fully redesigned and is at least 4 times stronger than the KS-8. Two 6.4 LB. tungsten wheels spin over 20,000 RPM with a DC cooling fan that is attached to the gyro to help prolong the life of the bearings. The "Chief" is made for prolonged continuous use and is NOT meant for hand holding. Provides stabilization for equipment up to 35 lbs.
