Product overview

The YANGDA Recon Eye-3IE-MK brings visible-light observation, thermal imaging and laser ranging together in a three-axis gimbal camera for multirotors. Its wide-angle camera provides 3x optical zoom, while the integrated 640×512 thermal imager uses a 13 mm focal length lens and offers multiple thermal color palettes for low-light and nighttime observation. The laser rangefinder measures target range up to 1200m. AI-powered recognition and automatic tracking support aerial imaging, anomaly detection and target tracking, with car and person as the default target types.

Built with aluminium alloy, the camera incorporates a quick-release mechanism for tool-free installation and built-in thermal sensor protection. It operates on 12-18V across a working temperature range of -20°C to +50°C. Integration options include PX4 and ArduPilot systems, MAVLink protocol, and PWM, S.Bus, UART and Ethernet interfaces, alongside the YDlink control system. Gimbal functions include one-key return to center and headlock. TF card recording supports JPEG images at 1920*1080 and MP4 video at 1080P 30fps, with H264 and H265 encoding.
