3. How to present?
Open UniGCS ground control station, click the top-right corner, and select UniPod MT11 under Camera Address A. You will see the visible light video feed.
Long-press the screen for one second to control camera movement.
Click the Zoom button: the UniPod MT11 supports 11x optical zoom and up to 165x hybrid zoom.
The MT11 also features a laser rangefinder with ±1m accuracy and a range of 5–1200 meters.
For dual-channel display, select UniPod MT11 sub-stream under Camera Address B to view both visible light and thermal imaging simultaneously.
In thermal mode, you can select an area for regional temperature measurement. The system displays the highest and lowest temperatures in the selected area, and the infrared lens supports up to 8x zoom.
The MT11 allows adjustment of multiple parameters, including brightness, saturation, contrast, exposure compensation (EV), shutter speed (SS), white balance (WB), ISO, and more. Clicking the AUTO icon expands the adjustable sliders. At the end of the slider list, you will find icons to reset parameters to default or collapse the menu.
Click the Function Settings icon to configure photo and video parameters, as well as modify the IP address online.
Click the Quick Control icon, which provides four shortcuts:
- One-click Reset – Pitch and yaw return to center.
- Yaw Reset + Pitch Down – Yaw resets to center, pitch down 90° (or up 90° if inverted).
- Yaw Reset – Yaw returns to center, pitch remains unchanged.
- Pitch Down – Pitch down 90° (or up 90° if inverted), yaw unchanged.
There are many more functions not fully covered in this video, which we will explain in detail in future tutorials.
