SIYI ZR30 4K 8MP Ultra HD 30X Optical Gimbal Camera HDR Starlight Night Vision 3-Axis Stabilizer UAV UGV USV Pod Payload for Drone Surveillance Inspection

The SIYI ZR30 is a professional 3-axis stabilized gimbal camera designed for UAV applications that demand high precision, crystal-clear imaging, and reliable operation in diverse environments. With its 30x optical zoom (180x hybrid zoom), 4K video recording, and advanced stabilization system, the ZR30 stands out as an essential payload for industrial drones, security operations, and aerial surveying tasks.

High-Accuracy 3-Axis Stabilization

Equipped with advanced stabilization across yaw, pitch, and roll, the SIYI ZR30 delivers smooth and vibration-free footage even during high-speed maneuvers or windy conditions. The angular vibration range is reduced to ±0.01°, ensuring stable, sharp video output that meets the needs of professional inspection and surveillance operations.

Professional Camera Performance

The ZR30 integrates a 1/2.7-inch Sony CMOS sensor with an 8 MP effective resolution, capable of capturing both 4K video at 25 fps and high-definition still photos at 3840 × 2160 resolution. With an aperture range of F1.3 to F2.8, the camera adapts to varying lighting conditions for clear imaging day or night. Users can choose from multiple video resolutions including 2K, 1080p, and 720p to suit bandwidth or storage requirements.

Long-Range Zoom Capability

The 30x optical zoom lens (4.5 mm to 148.4 mm focal length) allows pilots to capture fine details from a safe distance, while the 180x hybrid zoom enhances situational awareness during search-and-rescue or inspection missions. The wide 65.4° field of view without zoom makes it ideal for monitoring large areas, while the narrow 2.1° field of view at full zoom delivers pinpoint accuracy.

Rugged and Lightweight Design

Built for demanding UAV operations, the SIYI ZR30 has a compact dimension of 132 × 100 × 180 mm and weighs only 668 g with the quick release board. Its IP4X waterproof level provides protection against dust and light rain, while the operating temperature range of -10°C to 50°C ensures reliable performance in both cold and hot environments.

Easy Integration with UAV Systems

The ZR30 supports multiple video output options including Ethernet and Micro-HDMI, and offers versatile control interfaces such as S.Bus, UART, and Ethernet UDP/TCP. This wide compatibility makes it suitable for integration with most flight controllers and ground control stations.

Storage and Recording Options

The camera supports MicroSD cards up to 128 GB (Class 10), with file formats including MP4 for video and JPG for images. It uses H.265 codec at 12 Mbps, delivering high-quality video while keeping file sizes manageable. Automatic white balance and evaluative metering mode ensure accurate color reproduction across various conditions.
