KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Weighs Pod: 429g; GCU: 18.6g at Pod: 85.8 x 86 x 129.3mm; GCU: 45.4 x 40 x 13.5mm, which sets the airframe and mount it fits.
  • 3-axis Nonorthogonal Mechanical Stabilization holds ±0.01° angular accuracy.
  • Runs on 14 ~ 53 VDC drawing Pod: 6.7W (AVG, light off) / 55W (Stall, light on); GCU: 1.8W — budget this against your platform's spare payload power.
  • Imaging resolution 1920 x 1080.
