Product overview

The YANGDA Storm Eye-30IE-M combines an EO zoom camera, thermal imager, laser rangefinder and AI recognition and tracking in a three-axis gimbal payload. Built for day-and-night aerial imaging, it supports perimeter and border monitoring, environmental mapping, industrial inspection and emergency response. Its EO camera provides 30x optical zoom across a 4.3–129mm focal range, while the 640×512 thermal detector provides infrared imaging for low-light and nighttime observation. Onboard encoding and recording support mission video capture.

A quick-release mechanism enables tool-free installation and a secure physical connection. The payload supports VTOL and multirotor platforms, with YDlink camera control software, MAVLink support and integration with PX4 and ArduPilot flight control systems. Ethernet delivers 1080P/720P video at 30fps, with MP4 recording and JPG still capture. Local storage uses a class 10 TF card up to 128G in FAT32 or ex FAT format. Built-in thermal sensor protection accompanies an operating temperature range of -25°C to 60°C.
