Overview
XF C-40D Horizontal 2-Axis Gimbal is a compact, nonorthogonal 2-axis mechanical stabilization system designed for payload devices up to 40g. Driven by high-torque motors with IMU temperature control and carrier AHRS fusion, it delivers a stabilization accuracy of +/-0.05° and resists vibration and high-speed airflow impact. With Headtracker integration, it enables an immersive first-person control experience. The C-40D supports multiple control interfaces and wide input voltage, and can be mounted downward or upward on various carriers.
