Direct-Drive Gimbal Architecture
Torque motors drive payload axes directly—eliminating gears, backlash and transmission lag for mission-critical tracking.
· Sub-arcminute precision: ≤0.02° positioning accuracy maintains lock on small, agile targets (e.g. Class 1 UAVs)
· Ultra-wide speed range: Pan 0.09° ~ 120°/s, tilt 0.09° ~ 110°/s—seamless transition from micro-scan to high-speed pursuit
· Instant response:<10 mSec latency counters rapid target manoeuvres and platform vibration
· Unlimited motion: 360° continuous pan, ±90° tilt—no blind zones, no mechanical stops
Global Shutter Visible Channel
6.1~317mm 3MP 1/1.8" sensor with true global shutter:
Captures entire frame simultaneously—eliminating skew, wobble and "jello effect" during rapid pan/tilt. Critical for distortion-free tracking of fast-moving drones, vehicles or vessels.
Multi-Spectral Payload Options
· Thermal: 15 ~ 100mm F1.0 lens, 640×512 uncooled core—penetrates darkness, fog and smoke
· Visible: 52× optical zoom global shutter camera—geometrically accurate long-range imagery
· Illumination: 850nm laser illuminator (500m range) for covert night operations
· Optional modules:
o 1535nm eye-safe laser rangefinder (15–3000m, ±1m accuracy)
o 4MP wide-angle situational awareness camera (4mm F1.0)
o Integrated GPS and digital compass for real-time geolocation
Gyro-Stabilised Platform (Optional)
Dual-axis fibre-optic gyro stabilisation actively compensates vessel roll/pitch and vehicle vibration—maintaining<0.1° line-of-sight jitter in Sea State 4 conditions. Essential for maritime patrol and mobile platform deployment.
Embedded AI Capabilities
AI-adaptive autofocus: maintains sharp imagery across thermal/visible transitions
AI noise reduction: enhances low-light clarity without detail loss
AI target recognition & tracking: persistent lock on personnel, vehicles and UAVs despite occlusion or evasive manoeuvres

FAQs
Q: What makes Direct-Drive PTZ better than Gear-Drive?
A: Direct-Drive systems like the Zanvision AURORA series offer higher precision (0.02°), faster response times, and zero maintenance compared to traditional gear-driven systems, which suffer from mechanical wear and backlash.
Q: Can this EO/IR system be used for Counter-UAS (C-UAS)?
A: Yes, the 52x optical zoom, Global Shutter and high-speed direct-drive motor enable the system to detect and track small, fast targets at long ranges, making it an ideal core component for anti-drone solutions.
