Welcome to PhotoShip One

Our 3X Pro v2 3 axis camera gimbals are available for immediate purchase now. All hardware is included and the 3X Pro 3 axis gimbal is factory assembled ready for installation onto many 700+ class helicopters. The 3X Pro v2 can carry a camera as large as a Canon 5D/7D or even the new C300. All 3 axis can be stabilized with Futaba 401 gyros (not included) or Rotorpics Picloc IMU modules (not included).
Our mkTR Professional camera mount for multirotor copters is one of our best sellers. This camera mount is a revised design from our original mkTR. Many improvements like larger size for small/mid size DSLR cameras, reduced parts count, simplified roll/tilt mechanism, much easier assembly, and more!
Beginning around Spring of 2010, multirotor copters became a sensation amongst unmanned aircraft photographers and videographers. The Mikrokopter Hexakopter sparked a global awareness of these bug like flying machines. Equipped with a host of micro sensor packages, GPS, accelerometers, gyros, pressure sensors, magnetometers, and the like, these machines are capable of nearly complete autonomous flight. If outfitted with a telemetry system, they can be flown via a laptop with a Google Earth vertical map display along with other cockpit type instrumentation.
Jago Svensson has put together a custom quadrotor copter using a Gaui GU-344 quad flight controller and one of our mkTR camera mounts. He shot the video with a Canon T2i (550D). Stunning video! The best we've seen yet from a quadrotor copter.
Our mkTR v2 camera mount was designed to work specifically with the Mikrokopter Hexa, Hexa 2, Octo, and Octo 2 multirotor copters. However, it is not limited to only those copters. Many of our customers have adapted it to use with Hoverfly, Arducopter, Gaui, Xaircraft, and other multirotor copters with great results.
The mkTR v2 is a two axis system (tilt/roll). Both axis are proportional allowing for use of camera stabilizing drive from flight control boards that support it.
The tilt axis is contained within the roll. This axis heirachy is critical to successful stabilization by the copters accelerometers/gyros. Some other companies gimbals have the roll axis contained within the tilt. This arrangement is not optimal for accurate camera movements when stabilizing electronically from a flight control sensor array (as in 99% of all current multirotor aircraft.
We offer custom building services for mutirotor and helicopter aircraft. Prices start at $4,000 (quadcopter) and go up to $9,500 for (octocopter).

Various parameters are available such as altitude, speed, voltage, amps, watts, distance to waypoints, GPS strength, attitude, and hundreds of others.
Here's a video from our Decarotor multicopter with our mkTR Professional camera mount carrying a Canon T2i (550D) with Canon 10-22 lens.

Stabilization from a Mikrokopter FC board was active during this flight.
Photoship One designs and manufactures camera gimbal solutions for small unmanned aircraft commonly known as drones. Our primary area of interest is two and three axis camera gimbals for helicopters, multirotor aircraft, cable cams, and telescoping masts.
If you're looking to acquire aerial imagery from your drone we can help! Our online shop offers camera mount solutions for these applications. We also offer a custom ready to fly consultation and build process for customers who need complete turnkey drone system.
Here's the latest clip shared to us by one of our most skilled customers, Copter Kids!

Love the work guys!
our Gaui X7 UAV/Done helicopter systems and X7 front mount camera gimbal systems are now available for purchase!

We feel the Gaui X7 is superior to the Trex 700E as a photo/video copter for a few reasons. Primarily the extremely robust drive system and lightweight airframe. When converted for UAV use the X7 airframe is about 20% lighter than the Trex 700E and lends itself well to aerial photo and video applications.
We will be offering complete and nearly ready to fly X7 copters as well as X7 parts support.
