Key Features & Benefits of Xianfei Z-2Mini Dual-Sensor Gimbal

• Dual-Sensor All-Weather Imaging Capability: Integrates a 4K ultra HD visible light camera and high-sensitivity thermal imaging sensor, delivering all-weather, day-and-night imaging performance. The advanced full-color night vision mode captures crisp, color-accurate footage in ultra-low light conditions (down to 0.001Lux), while the thermal sensor penetrates darkness, fog, smoke, and foliage to detect heat signatures, making it ideal for 24/7 operations.
• 3-Axis High-Precision Stabilization: High-performance brushless 3-axis gimbal with advanced anti-vibration algorithm eliminates jitter and shake during high-speed flight, aggressive maneuvers, and windy conditions, delivering smooth, cinema-grade stable video and sharp photos. The compact design maintains full stabilization without adding excess payload weight to your drone.
• AI-Powered Intelligent Functions for Industrial Operations: Built-in AI deep learning algorithm supports smart target tracking, human/vehicle/animal recognition, abnormal heat source detection, and motion alert. The system can automatically lock onto and track moving targets, and send real-time alerts for abnormal heat signatures, making it an essential tool for industrial inspection, security surveillance, and search & rescue missions.
• Ultra-Lightweight Ultra-Compact Design for Mini Drones: Weighs only ≤120g with an ultra-compact 48×45×42mm form factor, perfectly optimized for compact and mini UAV platforms. The minimal payload weight has negligible impact on drone flight time and maneuverability, making it the ideal dual-sensor payload for small industrial and commercial drones.
• Wide Compatibility & Flexible Integration: 12V-25V wide voltage input and multi-interface support (UART, CAN Bus, PWM) ensure seamless integration with all mainstream flight controllers, including Betaflight, INAV, ArduPilot, and PX4. The system supports standard RTSP/ONVIF protocols, making it compatible with most industrial UAV ground control stations and video transmission systems.
• Rugged All-Weather Industrial Design: IP54 dust and water resistant rating, with a wide -20℃ to 60℃ operating temperature range, built to withstand harsh outdoor environments – from high-altitude cold to hot desert conditions, rainy and foggy weather, and industrial inspection scenarios. The rugged construction ensures reliable long-term operation in demanding field conditions.
