Product catalog summary
Overview
The OTUS-L170 is a compact, gyro-stabilized micro gimbal system designed for high performance in various applications such as unmanned and manned vehicles, law enforcement, surveillance, and mapping. It features lightweight construction starting from 2.3 kg and offers multiple sensor options.

Key Features
  • Lightweight design from 2.3 kg.
  • Multiple sensor choices including daylight cameras, infrared imagers, and laser devices.
  • Outstanding stability due to direct drive and high-bandwidth torque motors.
  • All necessary electronics are embedded within the unit, requiring only external power, a video monitor, and a joystick for operation.
  • Advanced digital control with a three-dimensional micro-mechanical IMU mounted on the optical bench.
  • Integrated features such as video tracker, video overlay, and advanced video processing.
  • Market-leading price ratio and worldwide delivery.

Options
  • Fully integrated video tracker.
  • Geo-location and geo-positioning capabilities.
  • Laser range finder options for different ranges and accuracies.

Technical Specifications
  • Two-axis gyro-stabilized direct drive gimbal system.
  • Infinite pan/tilt range with slip rings in both axes.
  • Maximum slew rate of up to 180°/sec.
  • Control interface via RS485 for user interaction and external heading/position source.
  • Video interface options include composite (PAL or NTSC), component video (Full HD), or Ethernet.
  • Feedback performance with typical encoder resolution/accuracy of 0.036°/ ± 0.1° and a 200 Hz update rate.
  • Power requirements of 18-36 Vdc, 40 W (typical).
  • Operational temperature range from 0°C to +50°C, with storage from -20°C to 85°C, and an optional operational range from -40°C to +50°C.
  • Dimensions: 170 mm diameter x 243 mm height.

Accessories
  • Hand Control Unit, cable kits, heli-mounts, video recorder, video converters, etc.

Applications
The OTUS gimbals are suitable for use in small and medium-sized unmanned vehicles and small manned aircraft. They provide unmatched image quality and are optimized for both EO and IR capabilities.
