Z-1Mini Gimbal is a compact 3-axis gimbal with an integrated 4K camera. The camera is intended primarily for use on advanced drones with Ardupilot or PX4 firmware. The camera with gimbal weighs 69g, so it can also be mounted on smaller drones. Power is possible with a voltage range of 10–26.4V. Installation is possible with the camera facing down or up as needed.
The camera uses a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor for visible light with a resolution of 8.29MPx. The AI-ISP image engine delivers a full-color image even in low light, and the AI-HDR function preserves detail in highlights and shadows in high-contrast scenes.
Stabilization is provided by a 3-axis non-orthogonal mechanical design with two temperature-controlled IMU sensors and AHRS fusion of data from the carrier (drone). Angular accuracy reaches ±0.01°.
The Z-1Mini gimbal can be controlled via Ethernet connection, UART or S.BUS. It supports a proprietary protocol and the MAVLink protocol, which is used in combination with ArduPilot and PX4 autopilots. Video is streamed via RTSP, recording is stored on a U3/V30 microSD card with a capacity of up to 256GB, and a Micro HDMI output is also available. The image can be monitored and controlled using Dragonfly software, which also enables online downloading of photos and videos; for full integration with open source autopilots, XF-QGC software is used.
The package also includes a kit for active cooling of the gimbal unit.
