Professional 3-axis High-precise FOC Program Video
Introduction: The Gimbal U818 Micro Prime Lens
The Gimbal U818 micro prime lens with dual sensor gimbal camera is from the micro-series Hawkeye series, a 260g super lightweight gimbal camera with small volume and compact structure.
Compact and Lightweight Design
It integrates an 8mm prime lens 3.68MP camera and an 18mm lens thermal camera with 640×512 resolution. The small size (barely the size of one hand) is suitable for drones with small structures and small payload capability making it an excellent choice for Gimbal Drone applications.
Dual Sensor Integration in the Gimbal U818 Micro Prime Lens
The gimbal has 2-axis stabilization to remove the vibrations coming from the body of the drone to provide a clear image.
Stabilization Technology for Clear Imaging
The camera supports up to 4x digital zoom and gives a 51°x31° field of view. The thermal sensor comes with an 18mm lens, 60Hz update rate, and 12um pixel pitch. Pseudo-hot and white-hot pallet colors are supported.
Enhanced Imaging Capabilities of the Gimbal U818 Micro Prime Lens
The CNC-processed aluminum body has the advantages of better metal texture, anti-interference, and better heat dissipation.
Durable Construction
It is widely used in surveillance, large-area reconnaissance, and other UAV industrial applications.
