GX8 Pyro

Nepal's first cinema-grade cinelifter. Cinema payload. Himalayan precision.

Born in Nepal, built for the world's most demanding productions. The GX8 Pyro is a purpose-built cinema cinelifter — engineered from the ground up to carry full-size cinema cameras including the RED Komodo, RED V-RAPTOR, ARRI Alexa Mini, and Sony VENICE paired with 3-axis stabilized gimbals. With 48 kg of combined thrust across its X8 coaxial motor configuration, the Pyro lifts up to 15 kg of payload with comfortable headroom, giving operators the confidence to execute complex, high-stakes shots day after day. What separates the GX8 Pyro from every other aerial platform in Nepal and South Asia is its tuning precision. GarudX engineers have custom-tuned the flight controller to eliminate propwash oscillation during attitude transitions, suppress micro-jitter that ruins slow push-in shots and hover sequences, and remove mid-throttle arm resonance — the vibration artifact that contaminates footage when a cinelifter hovers at stabilization throttle. The result is footage indistinguishable from a helicopter or cable-cam rig, at a fraction of the cost, with the agility of an FPV platform. The GX8 Pyro has been deployed on feature film productions, high-end TVC campaigns for Nepal's leading brands, automotive and motorcycle chase sequences, music video shoots, and Himalayan expedition documentaries. It is the only aerial platform in Nepal capable of flying a RED cinema camera in RAW format at high altitude — tested and operated at 4,800 m ASL in the Khumbu region. Whether you are a Nepali filmmaker, an Indian production house scouting aerial work in the Himalayas, or an international director planning a South Asia shoot, the GX8 Pyro delivers the shots your vision demands.
