    Please solve the following question:

    Feature Package with every purchase

    Save more than €5,000 and level up your GSM 4000

    For a short time only, every purchase of a GSM 4000 comes with a free feature package valued at over €5,000! This exclusive package includes Collision Avoidance and an AUX Port—at no additional cost. But be careful: The offer is only valid for GSM 4000 purchase orders until January 31, 2026 or while supplies last.

    Why you can profit from Collision Avoidance

    If the Mount and the sensor is installed close to the board wall inside an aircraft or if the hatch in the fuselage is narrow, the sensor system may collide with an obstacle. The Collision Avoidance feature prevents a collision of the Mount and/or the sensor system with surrounding obstacles during Mount initialization or operation. Just to name a few features:

    • Limiting the physical movement range of the Mount in all three space axes with the End Stop Limits settings
    • Selecting the side on which the Mount pumps to working height during the initialization phase, to prevent the sensor system hitting an obstacle

    Why do I need an AUX Port?

    The AUX Port interface allows you to connect an IMU directly with the Mount. The connected IMU can be easily selected and activated in the SOMAG Mount Control App. This special feature is useful if there is no FMS in the aircraft. With the AUX Port the IMU data can be read directly into the Mount. In maritime applications where a FMS is not used, such as on buoys or ships, the Feature is profitable, as external IMU data improves the residual deviation performance of the Mounts for long term applications.

    For further information please do not hesitate to contact our sales team. They will be more than happy to help you!

          Please solve the following question:

          SOMAG AG Jena, a global leader in gyro stabilization technology, is excited to announce the official launch of the GSM 5000, live from Intergeo 2024. As the successor to the globally recognized GSM 4000, the GSM 5000 sets a new standard for aerial gyro stabilization mounts, offering unparalleled precision and stability for a wide range of airborne data acquisition applications.

          Building on the solid foundation of its predecessor, the GSM 5000 is designed to enhance the effectiveness of critical airborne missions, including terrain mapping, disaster management, agriculture, forestry, and urban planning. With the GSM 5000, users can achieve flawless image and data capture, even in the most challenging flight conditions, thanks to its superior ability to counteract aircraft movements and vibrations.

          Key Features of the GSM 5000:

          Expanded Motion Range: The GSM 5000 delivers superior stabilization compared to its predecessor with increased pitch, roll, and yaw capabilities.

          355° Absolute Drift Movement: The nearly 100% complete rotational range along the drift axis ensures comprehensive data collection and offers three unique modes available on the market: Step and Stare, Scan, and Pointing Mode.

          Increased Usable Diameter: The expansion of the internal diameter ensures a better accommodation of larger sensor systems.

          Enhanced Communication Interfaces: The GSM 5000 introduces flexible Ethernet and RS232-COMBI interfaces, simplifying connectivity and improving data transmission speeds.

          Additionally, the GSM 5000 offers SD-card logging for easy data recording and transfer, along with comprehensive error logging to quickly diagnose and resolve issues. Its optimized pivot point, now located at the base plate, minimizes sensor displacement during rotation, enhancing the field of view and reducing collision risks. The mount also features automated hydraulic working height adjustments via software, removing the need for manual intervention. The redesigned digital interface and touch encoder streamlines control. High points such as motor cover caps and vertical cable routing, which limited the sensor’s movement range in the GSM 4000, have been removed to ensure maximum freedom of sensor movement.

          Backward Compatibility: The GSM 5000 retains compatibility with the GSM 4000’s power and interface cables, simplifying upgrades and ensuring a seamless transition for current users.

          “We are incredibly proud to introduce the GSM 5000 live at INTERGEO 2024,” said Sebastian Schreiber, CTO of SOMAG AG Jena. “This launch underscores our commitment to innovation and our dedication to helping our customers achieve high-quality data in a sustainable and economical way with our stabilization devices and technologies. The GSM 5000 not only builds on the robust legacy of the GSM 4000, but also introduces a whole range of new features and improvements that set a new industry standard.”

          Order GSM 5000 Now: The device can now be ordered. The first deliveries are scheduled for spring 2025. Further information can be found on the GSM 5000 product page. For additional questions and pricing, please contact the SOMAG sales team.
