The FLYIR-TZ083FA Three-Axis Quad-Sensor Gimbal integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a fixed-focus visible light camera, a 50x continuous zoom visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a three-axis servo-stabilized platform, and image processing components with autonomous recognition and tracking capabilities. Characterized by its light weight, high stabilization accuracy, high integration, automatic target identification, and automatic tracking features, it is designed for deployment on medium and small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to perform day-and-night reconnaissance and surveillance missions in target areas. This gimbal system has been adapted to multiple mainstream domestic flight control platforms, enabling seamless integration with flight control systems. It can also be connected to the unit's ViewControlStudio display and control software platform, assisting system integrators in rapidly completing the development of UAV systems. Utilizing the uncooled infrared thermal imager and dual visible light cameras, the electro-optical pod provides all-weather detection, recognition, and tracking of ground targets, while outputting both infrared and visible light video streams in real-time for mission operators. The primary applications of the electro-optical pod include reconnaissance, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention operations.
Product Functions
a) Capable of automatic identification and automatic tracking of typical targets;
b) Equipped with self-test and fault reporting functions;
c) Features 50x optical zoom capability for the visible light camera;
d) Capable of detection in long-wave uncooled infrared and visible light bands, and can output both infrared and visible light images;
e) Equipped with laser rangefinding function;
f) Visible light camera incorporates optical zoom, auto focus, manual focus, fog penetration, and low illumination capabilities;
g) Infrared camera features digital zoom and pseudo color palette switching functions;
h) Capable of movement in three degrees of freedom: azimuth, elevation, and roll;
