Product Overview
Built for beginner operators, the Storm Eye-10IE-MK is a 3-axis drone gimbal camera that delivers intelligent and comprehensive aerial surveillance through direct and intuitive operation. Featuring four advanced sensors—a Sony 1080P EO camera with 10x optical zoom, a 4K wide-angle lens, a 640x512 large-FOV thermal imager, and a laser rangefinder with up to 1200m ranging capability—the Storm Eye-10IE-MK integrates multiple reconnaissance functions into a compact 710g body, achieving flexible, accessible, and efficient data support for mid-range aerial ISR, delivery, and inspection missions.
710g Sleek Design, Built for Entry-Level
Designed for lightweight and hassle-free experience, the Storm Eye-10IE-MK weighs only 710g and features our designated YDPORT mechanism—achieving quick and convenient attachment or removal by simply pressing, rotating and locking the camera.
10x Zoom Sony EO, Guaranteed Daytime Details
Configured with a complete Sony camera block, the Storm Eye-10IE-MK delivers high-quality daytime imaging at 1920x1080 resolution, with 10× optical and 32x digital zoom—providing balanced coverage and detail for entry-level aerial operations and mid-range missions.
4K Optical Wide-Angle, Expanded Daytime Vision
Beyond its EO telephoto capability, the Storm Eye-10IE-MK is equipped with a 3840x2160 4K wide-angle lens, delivering significantly broader coverage ideal for wide-area missions such as perimeter surveillance and environmental inspection.
640x512 Thermal IR, Enhanced Low-Light Readiness
For low-light environment where EO sensors face limitations, the Storm Eye-10IE-MK still outperforms with the 640x512 thermal imager featuring a 13mm lens, 8x digital zoom and 20+ color palettes, significantly enhancing low-light imaging for night missions.
1200m LRF, Readable Distance Measure
Equipped with a laser rangefinder, the Storm Eye-10IE-MK provides readable distance measurements up to 1,200 meters, enabling real-time tracking of moving targets and serving as a reliable backup for efficient and responsive target tracking.
AI-Powered Detection, Autonomous Target Tracker
Powered by advanced AI algorithms, the Storm Eye-10IE-MK enables autonomous target reconnaissance with AI recognition and tracking. By monitoring suspicious vehicles or individuals and providing real-time coordinates, it helps pilots make informed and timely decisions.
3-Axis Gimbal, Easy Directional Control
Mounted on a 3-axis gimbal, the Storm Eye-10IE-MU delivers true omnidirectional vision, featuring 360° yaw, +45°-165° pitch, and ±80° roll rotation. With simple directional button inputs in the control software, pilots can switch viewpoints smoothly and maintain clear and comprehensive situational awareness.
Fly By Camera, Autonomous Tracking
A surveillance VTOL can follow and monitor a stationary or moving target of interest along a routine patrol route if the onboard drone zoom camera tracks it. Additionally, the target's coordinates can be copied and shared with the command center. Once the monitoring is complete, the VTOL drone can return to its original patrol route.
Monitor Target Movement Status Via GCS
The pilot can use the LAUNCH GCS to monitor the target's movement status, such as real-time updated GPS coordinates, the distance between the target and the drone, as well as the distance between the target and the HOME position.
MAVLINK Compatible
The Storm Eye-10IE-MK drone gimbal is compatible with drones powered by PX4 and Ardupilot, making integration relatively convenient.
