Three-Axis Stabilization, 360° Unbounded: Exploring the Unlimited Field of View of the UT115TB Gimbal
In the world of electro-optical pods, the field of view is everything. Yet the path to obtaining a clear view is fraught with challenges: violent shaking of drones, vehicle jolts, wind interference… Any of these factors can cause blurred images, lost targets, and critical information vanishing in an instant.
The core of Wuhan Shendu Technology’s UT115TB Triple-Optical Gimbal Camera lies in its powerful three-axis stabilized gimbal system, born to conquer these challenges and deliver a truly “unbounded” clear field of view for users.
I. What is “Three-Axis Stabilization”? Why is it Crucial?
Simply put, three-axis stabilization means the gimbal can independently perform motion compensation in three dimensions: Azimuth, Roll, and Pitch.
- Pitch Axis (-115° to +90°): Enables a broad viewing range from looking down at the earth to gazing up at the sky.
- Roll Axis (-40° to +40°): Counteracts lateral tilt and shaking, keeping the image level.
- Azimuth Axis (360° Continuous Rotation): Achieves infinite observation without blind spots. Wherever the target is, the view follows.
The UT115TB masters control in these three dimensions, with a frame angle accuracy of ≤0.3° and a stabilization accuracy as high as ≤0.1mrad. This means that no matter how the carrier platform moves, the gimbal can lock onto the target as if “floating” in mid-air, delivering rock-steady images. For missions involving long-range reconnaissance, precise target tracking, or high-accuracy measurement, this capability is an irreplaceable foundation.
II. The True Meaning of “360° Unbounded”: More Than Just Rotation
“360° continuous rotation” isn’t just about the gimbal spinning endlessly. It represents:
- Seamless Tracking: For moving targets, the gimbal can track continuously without mechanical limits, never losing a target because it reached a rotation limit.
- Panoramic Surveillance: In security and inspection applications, a single device can cover an entire hemispherical airspace, with no observational blind spots.
- Rapid Response: With a maximum rotation speed of ≥50°/s and maximum angular acceleration of ≥20°/s², the gimbal can quickly respond to commands, instantly pointing the sensors towards the area of interest to capture fleeting opportunities.
III. Beyond Stability Lies Insight: The Power of Triple-Optical Integration
A stable platform alone is not the end goal; the sensors it carries are the source of insight. The UT115TB integrates the three-axis stabilized gimbal with three powerful types of “light”:
- HD Visible Light Camera: Provides 1920×1080 high-definition color images with 10x optical zoom (5.1mm to 51mm), offering a field of view from a 54° wide angle to a 4.9° telephoto, ideal for target identification and detailed observation.
- Uncooled Thermal Imaging Camera: Equipped with a 640×512 resolution detector, it can clearly present object thermal outlines in total darkness, smoke, and haze, enabling 24/7 uninterrupted monitoring.
- Laser Rangefinder: With a maximum ranging distance of ≥2km and an accuracy of ≤1m, it provides crucial distance data for command decisions, transitioning from simply “seeing” to “seeing accurately.”
IV. Intelligent Vision: Evolving from “Stable” to “Smart”
The UT115TB’s vision is not only physically unbounded but also intelligently extended. Its imaging processing module supports:
- Automatic Identification: Can automatically identify over 32 selected targets simultaneously.
- Automatic Tracking: Performs continuous 50Hz high-frequency tracking on targets as small as 16×16 pixels.
This means operators can be freed from tedious manual control to focus on decision-making. Once the system detects a target, it can automatically lock on and track continuously, transforming the gimbal’s stability and unlimited field of view into highly efficient automated operation capabilities.
Conclusion
In today’s highly demanding fields of security, inspection, and special applications, simply “seeing” is no longer sufficient. What we need is a field of view that remains stable, clear, omnidirectional, and intelligent in any environment and under any motion state.
The Shendu UT115TB Electro-Optical Pod is the perfect answer to this requirement. With three-axis stabilization as its cornerstone and 360° unbounded as its domain, it integrates the insightful power of multi-spectral sensors and is endowed with an intelligent “brain.” It is not merely an observation device but a powerful situational awareness and decision-support platform, redefining the boundaries of the “field of view.”
