“D o e platfo ms a e o e of the toughest e vi o me ts we desig fo because the came a has to hold both focus a d a stable f ame while the whole ai f ame is movi g u de it,” said Alwi Vi ce t, P oduct Ma age at Vadzo Imagi g. “Buildi g optical image stabilizatio a d autofocus i to the same AR1335 MIPI Came a module lets ou UAV custome s cut weight out of the gimbal assembly without givi g up image quality.
