Product Features

Dual Light Source – Infrared + Visible Light

The GTIR800 Infrared camera can shoot using two different types of light. It supports light switching and picture in picture mode. Visible light can be used to guide the aircraft and infrared can be used to take pictures of the setting. It can effectively guide the aircraft and satisfy the client’s infrared needs.

One Click Zoom, Manual Fine Focusing

The dual light camera supports one click focusing. The infrared and visible light can form a clear picture of any object. To satisfy the requirements of more users, we have applied infrared fine focusing to the unmanned aircraft.

4 Imaging Modes

There are 4 imaging modes (infrared, visible light, infrared picture in picture, and visible light picture in picture). With picture in picture, infrared and visible light screens can be viewed simultaneously, providing the user with a different experience.

Camera

The GTIR800 infrared camera can be used with the GDU SAGA series products. The gimbal uses the brand new position fusion control algorithm, creating a highly precise 3 axis stabilizing platform. The angle movement is ±0.02° . This provides stable pictures and videos even when the craft is performing highly active maneuvers.

Active Range

The yaw structure angle range for the gimbal is -200 ° ~+200 ° . The roll structure angle range is -45 ° ~+45 ° . The pitch structure angle range is -135 ° ~+45 ° . This guarantees a stable image when the aircraft is performing a wide range of maneuvers. The remote control can control the pitch and bearing of the gimbal. The adjustable
range for bearing is -180 ° ～ 180 ° and adjust the pitch angle of the gimbal from -90°～ 30° . Users can quickly switch viewpoints.
