MTZ101TA Miniature Tri-Axis Tri-Light Pod

The MTZ101TA Miniature Tri-Axis Tri-Light Pod is a compact optoelectronic system designed for small unmanned aerial vehicles with wheelbases under 50 cm. It integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, dual 48-megapixel cameras with wide-angle and telephoto capabilities, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and advanced image tracking technology. The system delivers lightweight construction with high stability and precision, featuring automatic target recognition and tracking capabilities. Key functions include long-wave infrared and visible light detection, three degrees of freedom motion control, line-of-sight stabilization, target locking and tracking with interference resistance, network control via UDP, video output through RTSP/UDP, photo and video recording, and picture-in-picture display. The infrared camera operates in the 8-14 micrometer band with 640×512 resolution and temperature measurement capabilities. Both visible light cameras capture 48-megapixel images with 4K video recording. The servo platform maintains exceptional stability accuracy of 0.007 degrees across azimuth, pitch, and roll axes. Weighing under 200 grams with 12VDC operation and support for up to 512GB storage, this pod represents a comprehensive surveillance solution for aerial reconnaissance and monitoring applications.

I. Product Introduction

The TZ101TA miniature three-axis three-light optoelectronic pod integrates an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 48-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 48-megapixel telephoto visible light camera, a three-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image tracker. It offers key advantages such as a lightweight design, high stability and precision, high level of integration, automatic target recognition, and automatic tracking. This pod is primarily designed for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with a wheelbase of less than 50 cm.
