Hello everyone!

I have posted several times information about our 3-axis gyro-stabilized gimbals, but this time we decided to release a short video with close up review and actual footage from the gimbal itself. USG-301 is one of the most popular products from our line of gimbals. It features state of the art Full HD Sony sensor with 30x optical zoom. Comparing to previous versions of our gimbal we have greatly improved gyro-stabilization, which made the image even better looking and also added onboard video recording and ability to take still images on SD card. Those two features were asked many times by our clients and partners who are involved in drone inspections, agriculture and other industrial drone applications. In addition, we have tested the gimbal on other than DJI multirotor drones. Great example is our work with UAV America's Eagle XF drone, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxpbNVNCqS4 We have created custom mounting plate, so the gimbal perfectly fits the airframe. 

Right now we are working with other drone manufacturers to integrate our payloads and very soon we will show the results of our work. With the price much less than 7k and taking in account all advantages of our USG-301 we think that we have a great opportunity to work with many drone manufacturers around the world. If you are a drone manufacturer or using drones for your business and looking for a reliable and affordable camera payload feel free to reach us to discuss how we can work together.

I know some people have been keeping an eye on our progress. Now we would like to announce something new. Pneumatic catapult launcher for drones 40+ kg. Its been something new to us and took some time, but we are super happy with what we achieved. Now our PD-1 UAS has even more cool features. :) 

Hello everyone! 

For the past few months we were looking for a more convenient way to launch our PD-1 fixed-wing UAV (MTOW is 40 kg). Since runway takeoff and landing requires pretty serious and long training for the operator and any pneumatic launchers that will work with our UAV are expensive (from $30000 USD (actually we couldn't find anything less than $50k)) we decided to look for alternatives. Car top launch was one of those alternatives. We quickly developed a test unit and ran a few tests. So far we already have some statistics and pretty sure that it can be a good alternative to expensive pneumatic launchers in some civil applications with tight budget. Let me know your opinion on this. Do you think such way to launch a UAV could be an option? 

When we started to work on our gimbals we focused to create a solution for commercial and industrial applications. As a drone platform we always give preference to bigger drones with 6 or 8 motors, which have a few advantages comparing to their smaller «brothers».

First of all in most cases they can stay in the air for longer period of time, which may be critical for some tasks.

Secondly, they are more stable in different weather conditions and more reliable, even if one motor is failed there are pretty high chances to land the drone safely. I personally witnessed such situation.

And thirdly, they can lift heavier payloads, which allows to install dual sensor payloads. In our gimbals we install Full HD day-view camera with 30x optical zoom and thermal camera. Zoom feature allows drone operator to keep certain distance from the inspection target to keep operational risks at minimum. Dual sensor setup allows to collect more information during the flight and provides more footage to work with in the future.

In addition, our gimbals can be controlled from separate remote controls allowing drone operator and payload operator to focus on their tasks to ensure mission success. 

Hello Everyone!

Wanted to share with you guys a video of our 3.2 meters wingspan PD-1 airframe test. We did it quite some time ago, but I thought that it still may be interested. We do all kind of tests to our products and this is one of the final ones. Performed by professionals - don't try this at home! :D

Enjoy, comment, subscribe! :)

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick note about our PD-1 UAS and of course to hear your opinion about it. As some of you may already know we are a Ukrainian-based company that develop and produce our own UAV systems and payload. We've been working for a while to develop and start a mass production of our own airframe and payloads. And after that spent even more time trying to put it all together. Please welcome new player on UAV arena - PD-1 Unmanned Aerial System. 

PD-1 UAV is a fixed-wing 3 meter wing-span unmanned arial vehicle. It is equipped with gyro-stabilized gimbal with EO and IR sensors and photo camera for aerial photo mapping. There is still enough space for additional payloads, such as radio repeater, LIDAR or any other custom options. 

Hello everyone,

Here is another video of our USG-301 3-axis gyro-stibilized gimbal with integrated Sony EV7500 Full HD camera with 30x optical zoom. All camera features, such as anti-fog, electronic stabilization, colour enhancement, etc. could be controlled though our gimbal, you can easily assign any button on your RC to control those features. Video out is HD-SDI or HDMI, control signals are S.BUS or PPM, so it is compatible with Pixhawk, Autopilot and most of popular flight controllers out there on the market. 

For this particular video we used Tarot frame multi-rotor drone with Amimon Connex video link and Blackmagic Video Assist monitor to record the footage. Enjoy. :) 

Hello everyone,

I would like to present our 3-axis gyro-stabilized gimbal with Sony EV7500 HD block camera on-board. Our gimbal platform provide great stabilization in different weather conditions. Combining it with advanced Sony camera we get clear and informative image. Such gimbals are great for long-range surveillance and inspection purposes. 

Main features:

• 3-axis gyro-stibilization
• Sony EV7500 camera
• FullHD 1080p
• 30x optical zoom
• HD-SDI out
• HDMI out (optionally) 
• Weight: 1100 g
