Recon Eye-X 3-Axis EO Gimbal Camera for Multirotors
Overview
Equipped with a 4K visible-light camera and AI-ISP full-color night vision, it delivers clear full-color images in low-light conditions. AI-HDR preserves details in both bright and dark areas under challenging lighting. AI multi-target detection and tracking enables intelligent recognition and continuous tracking of pedestrians and vehicles. Featuring a miniature non-orthogonal 3-axis mechanical stabilization system, it weighs just 69 g.
Mission Fit
Why it Performs in Demanding Monitoring Missions
Full-Color Night Vision
4K Resolution
Equipped with a 4K visible-light camera and AI-ISP full-color night vision, it delivers clear, full-color images in low-light conditions. AI-HDR preserves details in both bright and dark areas, even under challenging high-contrast lighting.
3-Axis Mechanical Stabilization System
Miniature Non-Orthogonal 3-Axis
Featuring a dual-IMU complementary algorithm, combined with IMU temperature control and aircraft navigation data fusion, it achieves ±0.01° stabilization accuracy.
4K Ultra-High-Definition Image Quality
Outstanding Performance
Supports OSD overlays such as latitude, longitude, and altitude. Photos can embed GPS coordinates in EXIF metadata, while live video streams and recordings support SEI metadata.
Target Tracking
Coordinated Camera-Drone Control
Through integration with the camera and drone control system, the Recon Eye-X enables the drone to automatically adjust its flight path to follow the target. This ensures synchronized operation between the camera and the drone, maintaining readiness for real-time execution of target-related commands.
Ultra-Compact / Ultra-Light / Ultra-Stable
Weighing Just 69 g
Weighing just 69 g and measuring only 50.2 × 48.4 × 67.4 mm, the compact and lightweight design delivers outstanding portability and easy integration across various platforms.
