Flight stabilisation - REVISED

The basic requirement for a reliable flight system is robust flight stabilization. Only if the system is able to keep stable and retain its attitude in turbulent conditions, then can you do your job and complete your tasks successfully. Our specialists in control engineering have put a monumental effort in revising the height control algorithm, giving smoother flight characteristics.
We utilize 11 different sensors to detect the attitude of the system and send 1000 control signals per a second to stabilize it. This is the fastest attitude control frequency in this field. Consequently, in strong winds we guarantee smooth flight characteristics.

Camera mount

Our systems use a universal camera mount for all our payloads. We combine the biggest mass in the system, the battery with the camera mount and separate them from the rest of system via dampers. This layout filters out most of the unwanted vibrations.
Besides the dampening of vibrations, the camera mount is actively stabilized in two axes. This means the camera is always leveled horizontally because the servomotors are actively compensating the movements of the system. Thus it is impossible for gusts of wind or the system itself to induce swinging of the camera mount.
You can control the cameras tilt angle from the Mobile Ground Station in a range from 90° downwards to 90° upwards. The patented V-shape keeps the rotors from compromising the image, so you do not have to remove them in post processing, allowing you to use the images directly from camera.

Video link

The analogue transmission of the live video-feed is on a 5.8 GHz video link completely separated from the data link. The live video is displayed on a monitor of the Mobile Ground Station. Besides using an analogue video link, there is also the possibility to integrate a digital video link. Contact us for details.
