Built by Engineers. Proven in the Field.
GSS was founded in 2011 by a team of engineers with a simple conviction: the world’s best gyro-stabilized imaging systems deserved the world’s best engineering team behind them.
They’d spent years building that technology at Cineflex — a product that earned its reputation on helicopters over Hollywood, in natural history cinematography, and in broadcast news coverage of events that couldn’t wait for a second take. When Cineflex was absorbed into a large defense conglomerate, the product found itself a long way from the people who cared most about it.
So they left. And started over.
One customer at a time.
There’s no fast path to credibility when you’re selling a high-cost, mission-critical product. You earn it one deployment at a time — one customer who puts your system on their aircraft, trusts it to perform, and calls you back when they need another.
That’s how GSS grew. From a startup in Grass Valley, California, to a team of 40 engineers, technicians, and support specialists with hundreds of systems operating in the field worldwide. The product portfolio expanded from broadcast and cinema into utility inspection, law enforcement, fire recon, marine operations, and custom engineering work that we’re often not at liberty to describe — but are very proud of.
Bringing Cineflex home.
In 2017, GSS was offered the opportunity to acquire the Cineflex brand from General Dynamics. It wasn’t a difficult decision.
Reuniting the Cineflex name with the engineers who helped build it meant something. It meant continuity for customers who’d trusted that platform for decades. It meant a support organization that actually understood the product. And it meant GSS could carry forward a legacy that had earned its place in the industry — while continuing to push it forward.
Today, GSS and Cineflex systems share the same engineering team, the same manufacturing floor, and the same commitment to getting it right.
What we believe.
Engineering that earns trust
Every system we ship carries our name into conditions where failure isn’t an option — powerline inspections at altitude, law enforcement operations, live broadcasts with no second chance. We engineer accordingly.
Service that shows up
Mission-critical equipment needs mission-ready support. Our team is available 24/7, knows your system by name, and measures success by whether you got the shot — not whether we closed the ticket.
Built for your mission, not our catalog
Open-architecture design means we start with your requirements, not our SKUs. If your application calls for something that doesn’t exist yet, that’s a conversation we want to have.
Let’s talk about what you’re trying to accomplish.
Whether you’re evaluating platforms for a new program or looking for a support partner who actually picks up the phone, the conversation starts the same way.
