Insta 360 8K Pro VR

The insta360 Pro is a 360º VR camera equipped with six 200° lenses that record in 8K, allowing a full user’s experience. The visualization of this stream is already available at Beyond Skyline and is compatible with VR equipment (you can contact Beyond Vision for more information regarding this equipment). Furthermore, the camera has multiple functionalities and ports, and we advise you do carefully read the specific user manual of the camera.

A support adapter is provided with the purchase of this equipment to mount it in HEIFU®. Due to the weight of the camera, we recommend that when using it, don’t use any more equipment to maintain the drone as light as possible for better stability.

Please see Insta360 setup for instructions on how to setup the camera’s configurations and start live streaming.

Depth Camera

The depth camera that makes part of the HEIFU® kit is an Intel® RealSense™ stereo camera that comprises two cameras to calculate depth and enable devices to see, interact with and learn from their environment. Stereo depth works in indoor and outdoor and in a wide variety of lighting conditions without the need for custom calibration.

This camera is assembled on the front of the drone, at the battery compartment level.

Multispectral

Micasense RedEdge MX

Some applications demand high-resolution pictures in ranges other than visible. For those applications, the HEIFU® drone can come equipped with a Micasense RedEgde MX camera, which can capture images in near-IR (842nm center, 57nm bandwidth), red edge (717nm center, 12nm bandwidth), blue (475nm center, 32nm bandwidth), green (560nm center, 27nm bandwidth) and red (668nm center, 16nm bandwidth) spectral bands. This camera comprises a global shutter, aligned with all bands and can capture up to one 12-bit resolution sample per second in all band RAW.

The multispectral camera is assembled to the secondary gimbal on the lower part of the drone, below the battery compartment.

Note

If you need cameras other than the ones described above, please contact Beyond Vision in order to confirm if it is possible to integrate them in the drone.

Gimbal

Assemble a maximum 2 gimbals simultaneously. The gimbal is assembled on the front of the drone, near the battery compartment. A second gimbal can be assembled below the battery compartment by using one of the mounting adapters supplied with the HEIFU® drone kit.

A suitable gimbal can be purchased from Beyond Vision as an add-on to the kit or can be purchased from a third-party providing it complies with the specifications.

Gimbal control: Servo.
