GF-NEO Column

Ultra-light carbon power for every production.

A 16 kg carbon column that lifts 32 kg through 780 mm of travel in about 1.5 seconds. Overslung or underslung, it works on film sets, in broadcast studios and on live stages.

Sixteen kilos of column, in carbon.

Carbon fiber is a first for GFM. It brings the column to 16 kg, light enough for one grip to carry and stiff enough for a 32 kg remote head. The 48 V drive is quiet under way, and the 240 mm column takes up little floor on a crowded set.

One column. Every rig.

The column stays. The rig changes — overslung or underslung, on the gear you already own.

780 mm of lift. About 1.5 seconds.

From 680 mm to 1460 mm, full travel takes around 1.5 seconds — quick enough to use the lift as a move instead of a preset.

Every control where you expect it.

The base panel follows GFM’s user experience philosophy: emergency off, power and control connections sit exactly where you reach for them.

Two ways to power it

  1. Mains power supplyStudio and stage power, straight from the wall.
  2. Battery converterThe PWR-24-48 runs the column from battery packs you already own — anything between 24 and 48 V.
