SOMAG Gyro Stabilization Mount DSM 400

SOMAG Gyro Stabilization Mount DSM 400

Gyro Stabilization Mount for medium format sensors and cameras

Cost efficient and medium modular airborne stabilization devices gain more and more importance. For this case, SOMAG AG Jena has developed the Dynamic Stabilization Mount 400, a premium Gyro Mount for medium format cameras and sensors. The gimbal system stabilizes payloads of up to 35 kg and drastically reduces the angular rates for high-quality data acquisition.

Description

Cost efficient and medium modular airborne stabilization devices gain more and more importance. For this case, SOMAG AG Jena has developed the Dynamic Stabilization Mount 400, a premium Gyro Mount for medium format cameras and sensors. The electro-mechanical gimbal system stabilizes payloads of up to 35 kg and drastically reduces the angular rates for high-quality data acquisition.

Like all SOMAG Mounts the CSM 40 can read in external IMU data, can be connected to a Flight Management System and can be used with the SOMAG Mount Control App.

SOMAG offers the following optional software features to customize your DSM 400 to your operational requirements:

  • Leveling Offset: adjustment of the Mount virtual horizon
  • End Stop Limits incl. Block axis: adjustment of the Mount movement range and blocking of axes
  • Status/Analysis: logging and analyzing functions in SOMAG Mount Control App
  • IMU Installation Position on Vehicle Frame: adjustment of horizontal IMU position
  • Installation Direction: adjustment of Mount horizontal installation direction
  • AUX port: enables communication to 3rd party interface
