NEW

Leica PAV100 Gyro-stabilised Sensor Mount

The Leica PAV100 Gyro-stabilised Sensor Mount

provides angular motion compensation, perfectly

vertical photography and automatic drift control for a

wide range of airborne sensors.

Precise sensor stabilisation during camera exposure is

essential for good image quality. The new Leica

PAV100 keeps the camera in stable nadir view and fully

compensates for any aircraft movement during the

active exposure time. It provides automatic drift control

and pitch, roll compensation using precise IMU data.

Introducing an unique Adaptive Control feature which

filters out environmental vibrations.

The stabilised mount is compatible with Leica and Z/I

Imaging airborne sensors as well as a wide range of

other sensors, allowing the user to change quickly

between sensors inside a unified aircraft installation.

This reduces cost and simplifies operation.
