Gremsy, a leading provider of drone gimbal solutions has introduced the Pixy LR S-Port. The new gimbal is purpose-built for the Sony ILX-LR1 camera, featuring integration with the MAVLink protocol and incorporating the AirPixel Entire R3 module inside for comprehensive camera control, enabling full control via MavCam.
The gimbal has been redesigned with S-Port which is known as the Gremsy Mio Quick Release. Standardizing Quick Release across multiple products enables the hot swap functionality of payloads or gimbals, thereby enhancing the optimization of drone systems for diverse photogrammetry missions such as mapping, inspection, surveying, and more.
Key Features
Airpixel Entire R3 Built-In
In a pioneering move, Gremsy has integrated the AirPixel Entire R3 module into the gimbal, Pixy LR SP. This integration is aimed at streamlining the setup process, significantly reducing the time and effort required for users when integrating the gimbal with MAVLink protocol-based drone systems.
With this innovative integration, users can effortlessly fine-tune and control both the gimbal and the camera during flight missions. This seamless and efficient experience is facilitated through the MavCam application, developed by AirPixel specifically for Entire, enabling comprehensive camera control functionalities.
A gimbal engineered for UAV platforms using the MAVlink Protocol, Pixy LR S-Port offers support, ensures compatibility, and provides seamless integration with a wide range of drones, including autopilot platforms like Pixhawk | Cube Pilot.
Meet the Gremsy S-Port Ecosystem!
S-Port is a quick-release standard from Gremsy which is also known as Mio Quick Release and is compatible with versatile Gremsy products such as Vio, Zio, Mio and more.
To optimize user experience, Gremsy has standardized a mounting system to facilitate a hot-swappable payload process. With S-Port, users can change the payload quickly and easily for professional aerial photogrammetry missions.
Optimized design elements from Pixy LR
In addition to the outstanding features mentioned above, this gimbal also inherits optimized designs from Pixy LR. Its compact and lightweight design allows for optimal payload weight, thereby saving energy for the drone and increasing mission duration.
Moreover, Pixy LR S-Port is equipped with a new-generation IMU Sensor and Motors with 14-bit encoders to ensure superior accuracy, sensitivity, and performance compared to previous versions.
With high resolution, a 14-bit encoder helps reduce the risk of errors and ensures the reliability and durability of the gimbal system. Accurate information from the encoder enhances the gimbal’s predictive capabilities and responsiveness in diverse situations.
Pixy LR S-Port is designed to be the most convenient, user-friendly gimbal ever, as it integrates the Entire module internally and offers hot swap capability. Users no longer need to invest time or money to integrate this gimbal into drone systems, they can simply purchase and attach it fro immediate use.
