Description
TZ098EA Small 3-Axis Gimbal Cameras — 5-sensor (zoom EO + wide EO + TI + LRF + lighting) for commercial drone surveillance
The TZ098EA is a professional 3-axis 5-sensor (zoom EO + wide EO + TI + LRF + lighting) designed for commercial drone surveillance. Equipped with a high-sensitivity thermal detector, it sees through fog, dust, smoke, and complete darkness — when the human eye fails. Variable optical zoom enables seamless transition from wide-area scanning to target identification at extended ranges. An integrated laser rangefinder provides instant target distance measurement for fire-control and targeting integration. At 1.3kg, it delivers heavy-duty stabilization for medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAV platforms. 3-axis stabilization eliminates horizon drift during aggressive maneuvers, ensuring rock-steady imagery in turbulent conditions.

Why Operators Choose TZ098EA
- ① Heavy-duty stabilization wins the long game. In contested airspace, stability is survival. The TZ098EA delivers rock-solid imagery that lighter gimbals cannot match — the difference between identifying a target and missing it.
- ② 3-axis freedom beats sensor count. A 4K camera in vibration is junk. A thermal sensor on a 3-axis gyro is gold. The TZ098EA eliminates horizon drift in aggressive turns — no more tilted footage mid-mission.
- ③ Integrated LRF beats external rangefinding. Separate LRF means extra weight and alignment headaches. The TZ098EA integrates laser rangefinding directly into the gimbal — one payload, one boresight, instant target distance.
Application Scenarios
- Commercial drone surveillance and mapping
- Law enforcement and public safety operations
- Border patrol and coastal monitoring
- Infrastructure inspection (bridges, pipelines, railways)
- Wildlife and anti-poaching operations
Plug-and-Play Integration
Compatible with Pixhawk, Cube Orange, Mission Planner, QGroundControl,
and major autopilot platforms. Dual-link RS232/RS422, Ethernet (UDP) interface means
installation takes under 15 minutes — no firmware patching, no proprietary SDK,
no integration headaches.
