As the use of drones for infrastructure inspection becomes increasingly standard, HD Air Studio has identified a growing demand for high-performance drone gimbals.
These gimbals are designed to meet unique operational requirements, unconventional setups, and specialized sensors, including hyperspectral and industrial cameras, LiDAR, lasers, and radars.
Many users seeking gimbals for autonomous inspection projects face a choice between integrated payload gimbals and custom camera stabilizers. With 12 years of experience in custom gimbal design, HD Air Studio believes that custom gimbals are an excellent alternative. These allow users to select sensors of their choice while ensuring seamless integration with drone subsystems, including the drone frame. This adaptability results in fast and efficient operation.
Cable Management in Drone Gimbals
Efficient setup and high performance are crucial for autonomous inspections. Tangled cables can hinder operations, especially in multi-sensor configurations. HD Air Studio solves this problem with custom-built motors featuring hollow shafts. These innovative designs enable neat internal routing of electrical wiring, significantly reducing gimbal weight and improving efficiency.
Multi-Sensor Configurations
HD Air Studio’s gimbals are designed for flexibility. With years of industry experience, the company has created solutions that support multiple sensor configurations. Sensors are easily detachable, allowing for quick reconfiguration. Their collaborative design process ensures that project requirements are met, often involving discussions of multiple configurations to find the optimal solution.
Software with limitless programming potential
Today’s inspection projects require more than vibration-free footage. HD Air Studio’s custom gimbals feature expandable software capabilities, offering limitless programming potential. With Serial API compatibility, these gimbals integrate seamlessly with third-party data processing software. This enables advanced functionalities, including real-time data retrieval, live object tracking, automated commands, and manual adjustments. The model ensures data security, granting users complete ownership of all data collected by the gimbal and its peripherals.
