BTC-57 Standard

BTC 57


The BTC-57 is an excellent gimbal for projects with little real estate for sensor options. The sensor utilizes a vertical two screw mounting system

Multiple Sensor Options


The BTC 57 is available in a variety of configurations. Dual sensor options allow simulaneous video output for fusion

PWM Control


Pan and Tilt is controlled through Pulse Width Modulation and is compatible with most Flight Controllers right out of the box. Control wires come with standard JST servo connections.

Flat Field Correction


Gimbals equipped with a FLIR Quark or FLIR Lepton must be go through a Flat Field Calibration prior to flight. To do this the gimbal must have a flat object that is uniform in temperature placed in front of it while the calibration is completed.
