Stabilized Camera Platform
Description:
Watson Industries has many years of experience developing
sensor packages for stabilized camera platforms. Now we have taken the next
step and are offering a complete system.
Our gyro-stabilized platform is built around a rugged pan and
tilt mechanism. This is a high resolution digital system uses the best wide
bandwidth, low noise, solid-state gyros. Watson's proprietary rate closure,
zero error algorithms take commands from a remote joystick controller and drive
a digital servo controller on the mount. The whole system is user configurable
to adapt to a wide range of payloads and requirements.
Watson Industries also provides custom systems for special
requirements. Our system design is modular and configurable for economical and
quick adaptation to a wide variety of hardware configurations. Of course Watson
Industries' excellent product support and applications engineering goes along
with every product.
