Product overview

The YANGDA Sky Eye-40HZ combines a 1920×1080 EO camera, a 1/2.8" Sony STARVIS CMOS sensor and a stabilized 3-axis gimbal for long-range daytime observation. Its 40X optical zoom covers a 4.25–170mm focal range, with 32X digital zoom providing 1280X combined magnification. Built-in AI recognition and tracking provide feedback on target position and activity for inspection, security and coordinated search-and-rescue missions. Applications include pipeline and mining inspection, environmental monitoring and emergency response. Low-light and nighttime imaging is limited, and nighttime use is not recommended.

The camera and gimbal weigh 910g together and use a quick-release mechanism for tool-free installation. Gimbal travel covers pitch from +45° to -164°, roll of ±45° and unlimited yaw. The system operates on 12V within a working temperature range of -10℃ to +50℃. YDlink control software supports telemetry, video transmission and command execution, with MAVLink integration for PX4 and ArduPilot systems on VTOL and multirotor drones. PWM, S.Bus, UART and Ethernet interfaces support control integration; coordinated camera-drone control enables automatic flight-path adjustment to follow a target.
