GDU S400 PVL-8K Gimbal Camera

The GDU S400 PVL-8K is a professional-grade aerial imaging payload designed specifically for the GDU S400 quadcopter. It’s built for operators who need high-altitude precision and ultra-clear data, whether you’re performing complex infrastructure inspections or high-stakes public safety missions.

Key Features & Capabilities

8K Ultra-HD Resolution: Capture every detail with an 8K sensor that provides incredible zoom-in potential without losing image clarity. This is essential for identifying fine-line cracks in bridges or reading serial numbers on power line insulators.
Integrated Laser Rangefinder: Measure distances accurately from the air. This feature allows for precise target positioning and spatial data collection, making it a powerful tool for surveying and tactical mapping.
3-Axis Stabilization: The industrial-grade gimbal compensates for high-speed flight and wind resistance, ensuring your footage remains rock-steady even in challenging weather conditions.
Smart Tracking & AI: Equipped with advanced algorithms to lock onto and track moving targets (vehicles, people, or vessels) automatically, providing hands-free monitoring for surveillance teams.

Why It Stands Out

Unlike standard consumer cameras, the PVL-8K is purpose-built for the “Precision Visual Localization” (PVL) workflow. By combining 8K imagery with laser ranging, it doesn’t just see a target—it understands exactly where that target is in 3D space.
