product overview1

The ZK-40T Four-Light AI drone camera gimbal is a professional drone inspection payload that integrates a high-precision, lightweight three-axis stabilization system, multiple sensors, and 6 TOPS of computing power. It is compatible with the MAVLINK protocol or the HEQ serial port protocol.

The ZK-40T Four-Light AI Gimbal Camera boasts high resolution and a long observation distance, while maintaining ±0.005° control stability. The entire unit weighs only 290g (±5g). The system includes multiple dedicated sensors: a 48MP telephoto camera, a 48MP wide-angle camera, a 640×512 resolution thermal imager, and a 1.2km laser rangefinder (±1m accuracy), supporting all-weather, complex environment inspection operations.

The ZK-40T drone camera gimbal with built-in 6 TOPS AI computing power enables real-time personnel/vehicle/vehicle recognition, dynamic target tracking, and fire/heat source early warning functions. Users can flexibly configure multi-screen output and simultaneously store H.264/H.265 video and JPEG images, significantly improving operational efficiency in scenarios such as security patrols, disaster monitoring, and engineering surveys. It performs particularly well when tracking targets and collecting data at high altitudes, providing strong support for fields such as public security, fire protection, power, water conservancy, forestry, and maritime affairs.

Important Notes:
1. The serial port of ZK-40T can be used to receive control commands of the gimbal camera, and can also receive attitude data of the recommended roll to improve the accuracy and effect of image stabilization.

Verification Method for Successful Interfacing:
Approximately two minutes after the device is powered on, disconnect the serial cable. If the gimbal locks up and stabilization ceases, reconnect the serial cable. If stabilization resumes upon reconnection, it indicates successful interfacing with the flight controller data.
Conversely, if stabilization persists after the serial cable is disconnected, the interfacing is incorrect. In this case, check whether the flight controller output settings are correct or if the serial hardware connection is reversed.

 

2. The attitude data used to improve the image stabilization effect of ZK-40T can be in the format of MAVLINK protocol or HEQ serial port protocol; choose one of the two. (The data frequency is recommended to be above 50Hz)
3. If the user chooses to control ZK-40T with the network port or Sbus protocol, the serial port of ZK-40T can also be used only to transmit the attitude data of the flight control.
