Micro Pods

Sub-400 g three-axis micro pods for small UAVs, tethered drones and man-portable ISR.

Built for airframes where every gram costs flight time: PDT300 and PDT400 offer 3-axis stabilisation with EO/IR dual sensor in a package that fits a 2 kg-class multirotor.

What you get and what you trade

• You keep — flight time, payload bay volume and a low inertial moment that keeps the airframe responsive.
• You trade — aperture and therefore detection range. A 400 g pod is a 1–1.5 km class sensor, not a 5 km class sensor.
• Stabilisation matters more here — light gimbals are more sensitive to frame vibration. Plan the isolation mount at the design stage.

Ideal for inspection, short-range perimeter work and any mission where the aircraft cannot carry a 3 kg turret.
