UniPod MT11 Four-sensor Optical Pod

The SIYI UniPod MT11 is a compact four-sensor AI gimbal pod that combines a wide-angle camera, a zoom camera, a thermal camera and a laser rangefinder in one 3-axis stabilized unit. It is designed as a payload for professional UAV and robotic platforms, for example for inspection missions.

Wide-angle and zoom cameras

Both visible-light cameras use 1/2" CMOS sensors with 48 MP effective resolution. The wide-angle camera covers an 84° diagonal field of view. The zoom camera offers 11× optical and 165× hybrid zoom. Video is recorded up to 3840 × 2160 at 30 fps (H.265) and photos up to 8000 × 6000.

Thermal camera

The thermal camera uses an uncooled VOx 640 × 512 sensor with 12 µm pixel pitch and 8× digital zoom, with AI super-resolution up to 2560 × 2048. It measures temperature in full-image, point and box modes, from -20 to 150 °C (high gain) and 0 to 550 °C (low gain), with high-temperature alarm.

Laser rangefinder

The 905 nm laser rangefinder measures distances from 5 to 1200 m with ±1 m accuracy.

Stabilization, control and integration

The 3-axis gimbal stabilizes to 0.01° angular jitter. The pod is controlled over S.Bus, UART or Ethernet (TCP/UDP) and outputs dual-stream RTSP video over Ethernet. AI computing power is 10 T. Weight is 405 g without the quick-release board, operating voltage is 10 to 26 V (3S to 6S) and the pod is rated IP54 under laboratory conditions.
