The SIYI ZR30 4K 180X Hybrid Zoom Optical Pod is a professional 3-axis stabilized gimbal camera designed for UAV, UGV, USV, and robotic applications. With 4K Ultra HD imaging, 30× optical zoom, and up to 180× hybrid zoom, it provides powerful long-distance observation for inspection, surveillance, public safety, and industrial missions.
Equipped with an 8MP 1/2.7″ Sony CMOS sensor, HDR imaging, and starlight night vision, the ZR30 delivers clear image quality in demanding lighting conditions, including low-light and high-contrast environments.
180× Hybrid Zoom
The ZR30 supports up to 180× hybrid zoom, combining 30× optical zoom with digital zoom capability.
This allows operators to observe distant targets clearly while maintaining strong image detail for inspection, monitoring, and situational awareness missions.
4K Ultra HD Imaging
The camera captures 4K Ultra HD video and photography with an 8MP 1/2.7″ Sony CMOS sensor.
With video recording up to 4096 × 2160 at 25 fps, the ZR30 provides detailed image quality for professional UAV operations.
3-Axis Gimbal Stabilization
The ZR30 uses a high-precision 3-axis stabilized gimbal for smooth and stable video output.
With an angular vibration range of ±0.01°, it helps maintain clear images even when the aircraft or vehicle is moving.
540° Yaw Axis Rotation
The ZR30 provides a wide yaw control range from -270° to +270°.
This 540° yaw rotation gives operators greater viewing flexibility during surveillance, inspection, and mission monitoring.
HDR & Starlight Night Vision
HDR imaging helps capture detail in both bright and dark areas of high-contrast scenes.
The starlight camera design improves visibility in low-light environments, making the ZR30 suitable for extended day and night operations.
Quick Release Design
The ZR30 features a quick-release structure for fast payload changes.
This allows easier installation, maintenance, and swapping between compatible SIYI payloads.
Flexible Platform Integration
The ZR30 supports Ethernet and Micro-HDMI video output.
It also supports S.Bus, UART, UDP, and TCP control input options, making it suitable for professional UAV, UGV, USV, and robotic integrations.
The ZR30 is compatible with ArduPilot and PX4 through Mavlink.
Smart Mounting Modes
The ZR30 supports Nose Mode and Upside Down Mode.
These modes allow more flexible installation depending on the UAV, UGV, USV, or robotic platform layout.
