SIYI ZT30 Optical Pod Camera

SIYI ZT30 Optical Pod Camera Four Sensors 4K 8MP 180X Hybrid 30X Optical Zoom Gimbal Camera

The SIYI ZT30 Optical Pod Camera Four Sensors comes with a 640 x 512 resolution thermal imaging sensor with a 19 mm focal length and 30 fps frame rate. Therefore, it delivers both wide‑range and long‑distance vision. What’s more, its video remains smooth and clear. When an abnormal heat source is detected, the unit enables fast and precise responses. Besides, users can measure temperature directly by tapping infrared images.

Beyond imaging performance, the SIYI ZT30 four-sensor optical zoom gimbal camera delivers broad compatibility. It fully supports smart robot ecosystems.

You can control it in multiple ways. It accepts traditional S.Bus control from switches and dials. You can also run it over Ethernet via touchscreen or UDP with the SIYI SDK.

The gimbal supports UART control through the SIYI SDK. It works with popular open-source protocols including the Ardupilot driver and Mavlink.

Hybrid Four Sensors

SIYI ZT30 Optical Pod Camera Four Sensors a hybrid-sensor solution born to lead the industry. Zoom cameras, thermal imaging cameras, laser rangefinders, and wide-angle cameras collaborate efficiently to detect heat sources while measuring the distance to targets, capturing clearer pictures, and having a broad view.

High-Accuracy Laser Rangefinder

SIYI ZT30 Optical Zoom Gimbal Camera comes with a 1200-meter-range and0.1-m measuring accuracy rangefinder. Sensitive and reliable, ZT30 can obtain accurate coordinates in real time in high-risk operation scenarios, helps command decision-making, and ensures safe operation space.

AI-powered intelligent identification and tracking

The ZT30 optical pod uses its built-in NPU and SIYI proprietary AI algorithms. It detects moving targets, including vehicles, vessels and people.

AI capabilities:

• Continuous tracking, recognition and positioning, powered by gimbal attitude and flight control systems
• Automatic zoom to keep targets centered on screen with clear visuals

Note: AI functions are still in development. Future firmware updates will unlock these capabilities.

UAV imaging system

SIYI ZT30 Optical Zoom Gimbal Camera has a 1/2.7″ Sony 4K image sensor camera with a 180x hybrid zoom and a 30x optical zoom. In addition, a wide-angle camera with 2K resolution has been incorporated. This gives you a clear wide view and has the ability to capture panoramic shots. The pictures taken with the ZT30 get GPS location information and a time stamp.

Functions related to zoom

• Infrared zoom: the thermal imager supports 2x digital zoom, provides accurate control over more image details
• Synchronized zoom: zoom camera and thermal imager are able to zoom in and out in the same perspective, synchronously
• Video split screen: the screen can be split for video streams from any two sensors. The third sensor can be streamed simultaneously in the floating window.
• Starlight night vision: in low light conditions, the Starlight CMOS provides clear and bright images
• Point-to-Focus: to focus on a specific part of the screen, select a chosen point
• Focus Tracking: even while scaling an image, the camera stays focused and films smooth video
• HDR: capture precise details of light and shadow > true colors and natural brightness

Limitless yaw axis rotation – improved quick release and vibration dampers

The yaw axis of the ZT30 gimbal rotates endlessly. When mounted below VTOL drones or aircraft, the ZT30 optical pod has 360° all-around visibility. SIYI’s quick release structure is equipped with better stabilization and more load capacity. Moreover, it is compatible with ZR30 and can support more payload in the future.

Gimbal Control Interface

SIYI’s Optical Pods offer extensive compatibility to contribute to smart robotics in all aspects. They can be controlled via SBUS, Ethernet, UDP and UART (with SIYI SDK) or common open source protocols such as Ardupilot and Mavlink. (Mavlink control is under development and will be supported with an upgrade in the future).

Control algorithms with high accuracy and effectiveness

• IMU calibration algorithms: Compensation and correction of inertial measurement unit errors, reduction of disturbance factors such as zero offset, scale factor, inter-axis error, temperature drift, noise, etc. – Significant improvement of IMU measurement accuracy and gimbal stability in the presence of larger temperature differences, wide margin control, and strong vibrations
• Attitude fusion algorithms: extensive use of sensor data (accelerometers, gyroscopes, obtaining roll, pitch, and yaw angles through mathematical models and filtering algorithms) > combination of this information lead to significant improvement in system performance, robustness, and stability
• 3-Axis industry-grade stabilization algorithms: efficient use and integration of 3-axis gyroscopes/accelerometers, PID controllers, motors, and magnetic encoders > stabilization of the gimbal and constant output of stable high-quality video images even during motion
• High precision FOC motor control algorithms: Control of the motor > thereby decoupled control of the brushless motor and strong reduction of image shake
