KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Weighs 670g at 141 x 98 x 160mm, which sets the airframe and mount it fits.
  • 3-axis Orthogonal Mechanical Stabilization holds ±0.01° angular accuracy.
  • Runs on 20 ~ 53 VDC drawing 5W (AVG) / 75W (Stall) — budget this against your platform's spare payload power.
  • 3840(H) x 2160(V) through a HFOV: 51.5°~1.8° lens.
