What Gremsy does

Gremsy is a Vietnamese manufacturer of professional-grade camera gimbals and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) payloads for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and robotic platforms, headquartered in the Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Ho Chi Minh City. Founded in 2011, the company designs and produces a four-tier gimbal portfolio (tiny, light, mid-size, heavy — spanning 164g G-Hadron to heavy-lift AEVO with carbon frame), and a payload portfolio (VIO, LYNX, ORUS-L, ZIO) featuring thermal imaging via Teledyne FLIR's Boson+ module, up to 30x optical zoom, and on-device AI capabilities through NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX integration on the ORUS-L line. Core technology includes a proprietary gMotion Controller with 32-bit ARM processing at 2000Hz update rates, a temperature-controlled IMU eliminating field calibration, and the Hyper Quick Release 3.0 hot-swap system. Products are distributed in 30+ countries via direct e-commerce and a global distributor network anchored by Frontier Precision's Air-Supply division in the US.

The company sells primarily through a hardware-sales model with publicly disclosed MSRP pricing ranging from approximately $999 (S1V3) to $3,999 (AEVO) for gimbals, with payload systems commanding premium pricing. Customers span drone manufacturers (Acecore, Vision Aerial, Realtime Robotics), defense integrators (Lantronix for US Army SRR Program), and public safety/industrial operators across aerial mapping, infrastructure inspection, surveying, defense, and search-and-rescue segments. Recent strategic emphasis has shifted toward NDAA-compliant product lines (LYNX, ORUS-L) and Blue UAS clearance to access US federal/defense procurement, supported by co-development partnerships with Teledyne FLIR, Sony, NVIDIA, and FPT. Gremsy operates with 51-100 employees, has not disclosed external funding rounds, and remains privately held. Disclosed leadership includes a Chief Commercial Officer (Jay Huynh) and Head of Sales (Lucy Phan); no AI/ML, CTO, or research leads are publicly identified, reflecting the company's identity as a hardware/mechatronics specialist rather than an AI-software company.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• DJI: DJI's Zenmuse line of integrated gimbals and EO/IR payloads for Matrice platforms competes with Gremsy across consumer-to-pro applications; however, DJI's components are largely blocked from US defense, giving Gremsy a distinct opening in NDAA-compliant segments.
• Cloud Cap Technology (L3Harris): Cloud Cap Technology, part of L3Harris, produces stabilized EO/IR payloads (TASE series) for small UAS used in defense and ISR missions, competing with Gremsy's ORUS-L and LYNX for defense procurement programs.
• Moog Inc. Moog's Space and Defense segment supplies stabilized EO/IR payloads and gimbals for military and aerospace platforms, competing with Gremsy's LYNX, ORUS-L, and VIO for defense ISR programs and serving as a benchmark prime in the same payload category.

Direct peers

• Freefly Systems: Freefly makes professional-grade 3-axis camera gimbals (e.g., MōVI series) and stabilized UAV platforms, directly competing with Gremsy's Pixy, T3, T7, and AEVO gimbal lines for the same aerial cinematography, inspection, and mapping integrators.
• Sentera: Sentera builds drone-mounted sensors, gimbals, and analytics for agriculture, inspection, and public-safety applications, overlapping with Gremsy's Pixy and VIO product lines in the commercial drone payload segment.
• NextVision: NextVision develops micro and lightweight stabilized EO/IR cameras for UAVs and drones, competing in the same low-SWaP, small-form-factor payload niche as Gremsy's LYNX and G-Hadron products for tactical and commercial ISR.
• Trillium Engineering (Teledyne FLIR): Trillium Engineering, now part of Teledyne FLIR, designs and manufactures stabilized EO/IR payloads for small UAS, directly competing with Gremsy's VIO, LYNX, and ORUS-L; the FLIR parent is also Gremsy's thermal sensor partner, making it a partial partner-competitor.

Others

• Phase One: Phase One manufactures high-resolution industrial aerial cameras (iXM series) that Gremsy T7 and AEVO gimbals are designed to carry; they are a complementary ecosystem partner but also compete indirectly for the same end-customer in mapping and inspection workflows.
