Overview
The XF D-80U Intelligent 4K Full-Color Night Vision Spherical Pod is a compact 3-axis mechanical gimbal camera pod designed for UAV and other carrier platforms. It integrates an 80x hybrid zoom 4K camera, AI-ISP full-color night vision imaging engine, advanced HDR, and AI multi-object detection and tracking, delivering stable, high-resolution day and night imaging with precise attitude control.
Key Features
- 80x hybrid zoom 4K camera (10x optical, 8x digital) for long-range, high-definition imaging.
- AI-ISP full-color night vision imaging engine provides clear full-color images in low-light environments.
- Advanced HDR ensures both highlight and shadow details remain visible under high-contrast lighting.
- AI multi-object detection and tracking can intelligently detect people and vehicles in the image and continuously track any selected target.
- Low-profile spherical pod with 3-axis nonorthogonal mechanical stabilization minimizes gimbal radius and wind resistance; yaw axis supports continuous 360-degree rotation.
- Dual-IMU complementary algorithms with IMU temperature control and carrier AHRS fusion achieve stabilization accuracy of approximately +/-0.01°.
- Supports network, UART and S.BUS control; compatible with both private protocol and MAVLink protocol.
- Can be mounted in downward or upward orientation on multiple types of carriers.
- Dragonfly software enables live viewing, pod control without protocol docking, and online download of photos and videos.
- Customized QGC software allows full pod function control in conjunction with an open-source autopilot.
- On-screen display (OSD) overlay: time, camera attitude, carrier coordinates, zoom rate, and storage status.
- EXIF image metadata: time, camera attitude, carrier coordinates, and resolution. Live video stream and recording support SEI data saving (SEI to be enabled by subsequent firmware updates).
- Wide 20 ~ 53 VDC power input range with average power consumption of 6.5 W.

Notes
- [1] Reference dimension of person: 1.8 x 0.5 m. Critical dimension under Johnson criteria is 0.75 m.
- [2] Reference dimension of light vehicle: 4.2 x 1.8 m. Critical dimension under Johnson criteria is 2.3 m.
- [3] Reference dimension of large vehicle: 6.0 x 4.0 m. Critical dimension under Johnson criteria is 4.9 m.
- [4] Measured with the pod directly wired to a computer at 1x zoom ratio. When the zoom ratio exceeds 10x, video stream delay will increase and frame rate will decrease.
Applications
The XF D-80U Intelligent 4K Full-Color Night Vision Spherical Pod is suited for UAV and mobile platform integration where precise, stabilized, long-range 4K imaging is required in both daytime and low-light conditions. Typical use cases include aerial imaging, inspection tasks, and general observation where compact size, high zoom capability, and AI-based tracking are beneficial.
