SIYI ZT30 Optical Drone Pod Description
The SIYI ZT30 optical drone pod features four sensors, including high-resolution thermal imaging, a laser rangefinder, and cameras with 4K resolution, 30x optical zoom, and 2K ultra-wide angle views.
SIYI ZT30 Optical Drone Pod features a 3-axis gimbal with four sensors, including a 4K 30x optical zoom camera, 640x512 thermal imaging, and 2K ultra-wide angle. It also boasts a 1200m laser rangefinder for high accuracy ranging. The pod offers limitless yaw mode recording and photography, synchronized zoom, quick release, and upside-down mode compatibility with ArduPilot, PX4 (Mavlink), and high collaboration control algorithms.
The SIYI ZT30 Optical Drone Pod features a high-resolution thermal imaging sensor with 640x512 resolution, 19mm focal length, and 30fps frame rate, providing smooth and clear video. It detects abnormal heat sources quickly and accurately, allowing temperature measurement through infrared images, with a touch-free point temperature of up to 41.7°C.
Equipped with a high-accuracy laser rangefinder with 1200-meter range and 0.1m measuring accuracy, this optical pod provides reliable real-time coordinate tracking for precise command decision-making and ensures safe operation in high-risk scenarios.
The Enhanced Smart Identify and Tracking ZT30 works with the optional SIYI Al tracking module, combining SIYI's self-developed AI algorithm with optical pods to achieve real-time target tracking, capture, focusing, and zooming. The system ensures targets remain centered in the frame with a clear visible proportion, supporting anti-lost function: if the target is temporarily obscured or leaves the screen, the module automatically recognizes and continues tracking when it re-enters.
Professional comprehensive UAV imaging system features a 18x hybrid zoom (3x optical zoom) 1/2.7-inch Sony 4K image sensor camera, combined with a 2K ultra-wide-angle camera for unprecedented views and panoramic shooting capabilities; fast and accurate autofocus ensures grand pictures, while silky movements and smooth zooming capture distant scenery.
SIYI ZT30 Optical Drone Pod features an infrared thermal camera with 2x digital zoom, enabling synchronized zoom for accurate details. The camera can simultaneously stream video from any two sensors, while the third sensor streams in a floating window. Point-to-focus allows users to select and focus on specific areas of the screen, even while scaling images.
Introducing the SIYI ZT30 Optical Drone Pod with a limitless yaw axis rotation and upgraded quick release structure for improved stabilization and load-bearing capacity. This versatile gimbal camera system allows for unlimited rotation, capturing 360-degree views from below VTOL drones or planes.
