The TASE300 Gimbal

 is a high performance gimbal designed to satisfy the increasing demand for unwavering gyro-stabilization, detailed IR imagery, and integration of custom payloads. The TASE300 features direct drive brushless motors for increased stabilization performance and a GPS plus three-axis IMU for standalone operation that eliminates the need for vehicle mounting calibration. Onboard video processing is standard featuring video stabilization, object tracking, and Geo-location estimation. TASE300z with laser range finder shown.
