Traditional manual inspection is limited by human vision and environmental conditions, leaving numerous blind spots and safety hazards. The rise of UAV aerial survey has addressed the coverage issue. Nevertheless, when operating at distances up to thousands of meters, the coordination of visible-light imaging, laser ranging and stabilized gimbals becomes a key technical bottleneck.
Developed independently by ALLXF the D-90DE Intelligent Three-Light Spherical Gimbal integrates a 30× hybrid zoom camera, laser rangefinder, three-axis non-orthogonal gimbal and AI intelligent tracking into a spherical housing with a diameter of 96 mm. It equips UAVs with “piercing eyes”, delivering beyond-visual-range intelligent operation solutions for all-terrain scenarios in power inspection, security monitoring, fire rescue, mapping and other professional industries.
Three-Light Fusion, Multi-Dimensional Perception
When operating with conventional gimbals, operators frequently switch modes and adjust flight distances between wide-area search and close-up identification. Such cumbersome operations greatly reduce work efficiency.
The D-90DE Intelligent Three-Light Spherical Gimbal launched by ALLXF is equipped with a wide-angle camera and a 30× hybrid zoom camera to form a dual-view system, together with an integrated laser rangefinder. It meets the demands of diverse mission scenarios without equipment switching.
The wide-angle camera handles wide-area searching. Benefiting from the spherical structure of the D-90DE gimbal, its yaw axis supports continuous 360°×N endless rotation. The wide-angle camera delivers full-field observation with no blind spots.
The 30× hybrid zoom camera is used for detailed inspection. For remote missions requiring close examination of cracks, damages, line joints and other suspicious targets, the zoom camera can magnify the view, with a focal length ranging from 4.7 mm to 47 mm.
The D-90DE Intelligent Three-Light Spherical Gimbal also integrates a laser rangefinder, which outputs the distance and position coordinates of observed targets. It supports a maximum ranging distance of 1200 meters. Such distance and coordinate data serve as critical references for navigation, positioning and on-site response, greatly boosting operational efficiency.
AI Intelligent Tracking, Precise Lock-on
Traditional inspection requires operators to watch screens and make judgments manually, which is inefficient and prone to missing critical information. Equipped with AI multi-target detection and tracking, the D-90DE Intelligent Three-Light Spherical Gimbal can automatically identify pedestrians and vehicles in the frame and continuously lock onto any selected target.
The gimbal updates the coordinates of tracked targets every 30 milliseconds. Even if the target moves rapidly or is temporarily occluded, the system can quickly re-acquire and maintain stable lock without losing track.
For missions including security monitoring, vehicle pursuit and person search & rescue, the AI tracking capability of the D-90DE helps operators quickly focus on key targets. It frees users from constant manual control so they can devote more attention to mission decision-making.
3-Axis Stabilization, Compatible with Multiple UAV Platforms
Carriers fitted with optoelectronic gimbals experience constant attitude variations during missions. Beyond clear and comprehensive vision, shake-free imagery is critical.
The D-90DE Intelligent Three-Light Spherical Gimbal is equipped with a high-precision three-axis non-orthogonal gimbal. It weighs 576 g with a spherical diameter of 96 mm. Its compact all-spherical design effectively reduces rotation radius and wind resistance, achieving an image stabilization accuracy of ±0.01°. The video stays smooth and stable even when the carrier executes aggressive maneuvers or suffers air turbulence.
Supporting both upright and inverted mounting, the D-90DE can be quickly installed on various carrier platforms such as fixed-wing UAVs, multi-rotor drones, quadruped robot dogs and robots to satisfy diverse mission requirements.
Open-Source Compatible, Support Secondary Development
To facilitate secondary development and system integration tailored to specific mission requirements, the D-90DE Intelligent Three-Light Spherical Gimbal supports Ethernet, serial port and S.BUS control, and is compatible with both proprietary protocols and MAVLink protocol. Paired with ALLXF’s self-developed GCU and Dragonfly ground control software, users can view real-time video and control the gimbal on PCs without complicated protocol adaptation.
Taking user experience for open-source flight controllers into full consideration, ALLXF provides a customized QGC version that enables users to unlock all functions of the D-90DE with one click. The video feed supports OSD overlay of latitude, longitude, altitude and other information. Captured photos can embed waypoint coordinates into EXIF metadata, which facilitates subsequent route review, position marking and data archiving.
Equipped with wide-angle imaging, 30× hybrid zoom, laser ranging and AI intelligent tracking, the D-90DE Intelligent Three-Light Spherical Gimbal delivers long-range, high-precision and superior image stabilization performance. Mountable on a wide range of carrier platforms, it is widely adopted in emergency rescue, public safety, industrial inspection, mapping and many other sectors.
ALLXF devotes itself to multi-dimensional innovation of core modules for unmanned systems. Its business portfolio covers swarm systems, stabilized gimbals, intelligent payloads, power systems and electronic control systems. Going forward, ALLXF will keep focusing on algorithm innovation and core technology R&D, to maintain outstanding stability and compatibility of its products in complex application scenarios.
