Camera Gimbal

Fully built by us, controlled by either the flight controller, or by other devices. Single axis gimbal that fits any camera, and pairs with our dropper systems for accurate payload placement. Customisation on request.
Overview
A fixed FPV camera only sees what the nose is pointing at. The Firefly Camera Gimbal lets the pilot look where they need to, independent of the direction of flight, for better situational awareness, ISR, dropper and payload positioning.
It is designed, built and programmed by us, and made to fit any FPV frame. It supports analog and digital cameras, and swaps quickly between them, so one gimbal can serve your whole fleet.
Key Features
- 1 axis: Simple, light and reliable.
- 180 degree rotation: Wide range of movement to look around without turning the aircraft.
- Fits any FPV frame: Mounts to the airframes you already fly, including the whole Firefly FPV range.
- Any camera: Analog and digital cameras supported, including IR and thermal options.
- Quick swap: Change cameras quickly using standard parts, with no specialist tools.
- Flexible control: Operated by the flight controller, or by other devices.
- Built by Firefly: Designed, built and coded in-house, with customisation on request.
