Recon Eye-Y 3-Axis EO Gimbal Camera for Multirotors
Overview
The Stabilized Gimbal* features a *three-axis gimbal stabilization system* with an internal cable-routing design. It is equipped with a *13MP visible-light CMOS sensor* and a *2MP starlight-grade visible-light CMOS sensor*, offering **wide and narrow fields of view* and real-time **1080P HD video output*. The gimbal also supports *target detection, recognition, locking, and tracking*.
Mission Fit
Why it Performs in Demanding Monitoring Missions
13MP Visible-Light CMOS Sensor
Focal Length: 35 mm
Equipped with a 13MP visible-light CMOS sensor, it delivers daytime visibility of ≥8 km and a target recognition range of >350 m.
2MP Starlight-Grade Visible-Light CMOS Sensor
Focal Length: 10.3 mm
Equipped with a 2MP starlight-grade visible-light CMOS sensor, it achieves a target recognition range of over 400 m under low-light urban conditions at night.
Autonomous Target Detection
Auto Tracking
Featuring AI-based multi-target detection and tracking, it intelligently identifies pedestrians and vehicles and continuously locks onto and tracks any selected target.
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 55 g
Weighing just 55 g and measuring only 46mm×44mm×52mm, the compact and lightweight design delivers outstanding portability and easy integration across various platforms.
Versatile Interfaces
Seamless Compatibility with Open-Source Flight Controllers
Supports network and serial control, with an SDK for secondary development, enabling flexible integration across multiple platforms.
