- Partner
- Teledyne FLIR
FLIR provides high-performance pan and tilt devices with real-time computer-controlled positioning of virtually any payload. The range includes thermal imaging cameras, video cameras, laser rangefinders, and microwave antennas.
FLIR’s pan and tilt positioners include an easy-to-use digital interface and software, which makes control simple and provides advanced features for speed and position control. The software programmability makes it easier to identify and manage a situation, through real-time and programmed movement control.
To complement FLIR’s pan and tilt positioners, inertial stabilisation modules, Geo-pointing modules, positioning/ joystick controllers, and SDK software are available depending on the model.
