  • Long-distance aerial observation
  • Day and night operation
  • Automatic target recognition
  • Intelligent target tracking
  • Laser-assisted target positioning
  • Real-time video transmission

With superior stabilization performance and MAVLink compatibility, the TZ230TA provides a reliable sensing solution for professional UAV applications including surveillance, search and rescue, emergency response, infrastructure inspection, and large-area aerial monitoring.


Product Highlights

3-Axis High-Precision Stabilized Platform

Unlike conventional 2-axis gimbal systems, the TZ230TA adopts a 3-axis servo stabilization structure to improve image stability during UAV flight.

Key advantages:

  • Superior vibration isolation
  • Smoother aerial imaging
  • Improved tracking accuracy
  • Stable observation under dynamic flight conditions

The stabilization system enables continuous monitoring even when the UAV operates in complex environments.


Multi-Sensor EO + Cooled Thermal + Laser Integration

The TZ230TA combines three professional sensing modules:

High-Zoom EO Camera

The visible-light camera provides detailed daytime observation:

  • 2MP image sensor
  • 30× continuous optical zoom
  • 60× hybrid zoom
  • Long-range target identification capability

Cooled Thermal Imaging Camera

The cooled infrared sensor provides enhanced thermal detection performance compared with standard uncooled systems.

Features:

  • 640×512 thermal resolution
  • 15μm pixel pitch
  • 20mm–275mm continuous zoom lens
  • Wide-to-narrow thermal field of view adjustment
  • Improved long-distance heat source detection

Laser Rangefinder

Integrated laser ranging provides accurate distance measurement:

  • Range: 20m–6000m

The laser measurement function improves target positioning and operational awareness.
