High-Resolution 4K Zoom on a Stabilized 3-Axis Gimbal
ZIO is a high-resolution zoom payload that combines a Sony sensor with highly-stabilized three-axis gimbal technology. It lets industrial inspectors and surveyors zoom into objects of interest and effortlessly transmit 4K video — ready for inspection, surveying, and public-safety missions.

Long-range optical zoom, smooth stabilization, and flexible streaming — in a payload light enough for compact-class Carriers.
A Sony 1/2.5″ Exmor R CMOS with 20x optical zoom (up to 240x combined) captures 4K@30 video and 8.51 MP stills.
Angular vibration held to ±0.01° keeps tele-zoom footage steady — even at full reach in the field.
HDMI output at 1080p60 plus Ethernet H.264 RTP, with a combine mode for simultaneous HDMI and network streaming.
Just 480 g with a detachable bottom mount and 12–48 W draw — easy to integrate on compact-class Carriers.
