Product overview

The SIYI ZR10 2K Starlight 10X Zoom Gimbal is an optical imaging payload for UAV imaging. Its camera combines a 4-megapixel, 1/2.7-inch CMOS sensor with 2K Quad HD video and photography. The lens provides 10x optical zoom, extending to up to 30x hybrid zoom. Point-to-focus and focus tracking accompany starlight night vision and HDR functions. Captured photographs can carry GPS location information and time attributes, while the gimbal provides 320 degrees of yaw rotation for directing the camera.

Integration support includes ArduPilot and PX4 with MAVLink. Placing the gimbal upside down automatically activates its inverted mode, supporting installation on UGVs, USVs and quadruped robots. Follow mode follows aircraft rotation horizontally; lock mode holds the horizontal direction independently of aircraft rotation. FPV mode follows aircraft roll. The stabilization architecture combines three-axis gyroscopes and accelerometers with PID controllers, motors and magnetic encoders. IMU calibration addresses sensor errors, while attitude estimation and brushless motor control support camera stabilization during movement.
