DD360plus+ UAV Thermal Gimbal: Triple-Sensor Imaging and 3 km Ranging
Three Sensors in One Compact Stabilized Aerial Payload
The DD360plus+ UAV thermal gimbal combines three observation tools in one compact payload. It integrates a Full HD electro-optical camera, a 640 × 512 thermal camera, and a 3000-meter laser rangefinder. Therefore, operators can search, identify, track, and measure a target without changing payloads. The visible channel records 1920 × 1080 video at 60 fps. Moreover, its 10× optical zoom supports wide-area scanning and detailed inspection. Meanwhile, the thermal drone payload records at 60 fps and offers multiple color palettes. The integrated laser rangefinder gimbal measures up to 3000 meters with listed accuracy of ±1 meter. As a result, the platform supports day-and-night surveillance, public security, environmental inspection, road monitoring, and forest-fire observation.
The payload weighs no more than 700 grams. Consequently, it can suit compact UAVs and compatible robotic platforms. Its three-axis mechanism provides continuous yaw rotation, broad pitch movement, and roll stabilization. In addition, the roll axis helps keep the horizon level during aircraft movement. Operators can therefore obtain steadier imagery while observing roads, buildings, vehicles, industrial sites, or people.
Automatic vehicle and human tracking further reduces operator workload. Additionally, picture-in-picture mode can show visible and thermal views on one interface. The rich on-screen display may present recording status, coordinates, zoom, field of view, laser distance, and platform data. Thus, operators can review essential mission details without repeatedly changing displays.
- Visible, thermal, and ranging sensors in one payload
- Maximum listed payload weight of 700 grams
- 3000-meter laser measurement with ±1-meter accuracy
- Automatic vehicle and human identification and tracking
- Picture-in-picture viewing with detailed mission-data overlays
DD360plus+ UAV Thermal Gimbal Specifications
The DD360plus+ is described as a triple-mode micro-pod. Visually, it has a matte dark-gray spherical sensor head beneath a rectangular quick-release plate. A large orange-tinted EO lens occupies the upper front area. Meanwhile, the thermal window and smaller laser apertures have separate positions. However, all three sensors operate as one stabilized observation system.

The product overview above presents the visible camera, thermal channel, and laser rangefinder together. In addition, it highlights the compact aerial design and three-axis stabilization. The principal specifications are summarized below for easier integration planning.

The engineering drawing shows front, side, rear, bottom, and isometric views. Its listed overall height is 152.5, while the front width is 112.50. The side depth is 113.80. Additional callouts include 79.80, 97, 70.8, 15, 11, and R54. However, the drawing does not visibly state the measurement unit. Therefore, integrators should confirm every dimension before designing a custom mount.
Visible and Thermal Imaging for Day-and-Night Missions
The visible-light channel supports two clear observation stages. First, the 61.3° × 36.9° wide view helps operators scan large areas. Next, the 10× optical zoom narrows the field of view to 6.8° × 3.9°. Therefore, teams can move from broad detection to closer inspection without replacing the payload.
Meanwhile, the thermal drone payload supplies 640 × 512 imagery at 60 fps. Its palettes include White hot, Black hot, Iron red, Rainbow, and Fusion. In addition, a temperature-bar overlay can support visual anomaly assessment. Operators can also control the bar’s visibility to reduce screen clutter.

Visible examples show roads, vehicles, buildings, power lines, and telemetry overlays. In contrast, thermal examples use grayscale and false-color palettes to reveal heat patterns. Picture-in-picture mode can place a secondary image over the main video. Moreover, the OSD can show a crosshair, recording status, zoom, angles, coordinates, and laser distance. Consequently, operators retain both scene context and mission data during time-sensitive work.
Precision Laser Ranging and Automatic Target Tracking
The integrated laser rangefinder gimbal measures targets at distances up to 3000 meters. Its listed measuring accuracy is ±1 meter. Consequently, operators can combine visual confirmation with direct distance information. This capability supports remote inspection, situational mapping, and long-range observation.
The identification module provides selectable vehicle and human tracking modes. Therefore, a team can configure tracking around its current mission. Stabilization also helps maintain observation during aircraft movement or optical zoom. As a result, operators may need fewer manual corrections while following a selected target.
The main specification and gimbal sections list tracking capability or maximum angular velocity at ≥100°/s. However, separate EO explanatory text lists ≥40°/s. Buyers should therefore confirm the configured tracking performance before deployment.
Lightweight Three-Axis Design for Compact UAV Platforms
Payload weight can affect flight endurance and aircraft compatibility. Accordingly, the DD360plus+ UAV thermal gimbal keeps its listed weight at or below 700 grams. Average power consumption is no more than 10 watts. Moreover, maximum consumption remains at or below 20 watts.
The yaw axis provides continuous horizontal rotation. Meanwhile, the pitch axis moves from -100° to +100°. The roll axis offers ±45° movement and helps preserve a level horizon. Furthermore, the listed 0.1 mrad stabilization accuracy supports observation at longer zoom settings.
A quick-disassembly mounting structure is designed to simplify installation and removal. In addition, the 12–28 V DC input supports different integration requirements. Network video and RS232/TCP control enable connection with compatible external systems. Similarly, H.264/H.265 encoding and MP4 storage support transmission and mission review.
The listed operating and storage range extends from -20°C to +50°C. Therefore, the DD360plus+ UAV thermal gimbal can support varied field conditions. Nevertheless, integrators should verify aircraft balance, electrical compatibility, and mounting dimensions before installation.
Practical Aerial and Robotic Applications
The combined sensor package supports several observation workflows. For example, public-security teams can use visible and thermal channels for day-and-night monitoring. Meanwhile, law-enforcement and perimeter teams can pair automatic tracking with long-range measurement. Road-monitoring crews can also scan traffic areas before following a selected vehicle.
- Day-and-night aerial surveillance
- Long-range target recognition and distance measurement
- Automatic vehicle or human tracking
- Public-security and law-enforcement monitoring
- Road, traffic, border, and perimeter observation
- Forest-fire risk monitoring
- Environmental and industrial-emission observation
- Compact UAV and robotic imaging integration
Ultimately, the DD360plus+ UAV thermal gimbal brings visible imaging, thermal awareness, ranging, and tracking into one system. Therefore, it can reduce the need for separate observation payloads. Its low weight and flexible interfaces also support compact-platform integration. For professional teams, the laser rangefinder gimbal provides a practical balance of imaging detail, measurement range, and stabilized coverage.
