The H30 Series is equipped with multiple modules that work simultaneously to provide high-quality aerial imagery in various weather conditions. This ensures a comprehensive overview of the task at hand. Let's take a closer look at the benefits of the Zenmuse H30 Series.
 

Further and Clearer Vision

The Zenmuse H30 Series sets the bar higher with its cutting-edge, high-resolution zoom camera. Boasting an impressive 34x optical zoom, it brings images closer than ever before, surpassing any other payload we have made previously. Moreover, its remarkable 400x digital zoom lets you see identify and inspect objects from farther distances without having to fly closer. The camera's advanced image stabilization technology, a testament to our commitment to innovation, minimizes shaky telephoto footage, making it the perfect tool for operating tasks in challenging environments or capturing data of structures with great detail, such as overhead power lines or wind turbines. With Zenmuse H30 Series, you can be confident you're getting the best visual imagery on the market.

More Powerful Infrared Performance

Users can take advantage of the Zenmuse H30T's powerful infrared thermal camera, which boasts a 32x digital zoom and a resolution of 1280x1024, 4x higher than previous generations. When zoomed into higher levels, the Zenmuse H30T automatically activates the UHR (Ultra-High Resolution) Infrared Image function, ensuring your image remains clear regardless of your environment. This camera is ideal for people needing a thermal image of a large site while also being able to zoom in on specific areas without compromising thermal image quality.
 
 
The Zenmuse H30T has three infrared gain modes: High Gain mode for more accurate temperature measurement, Low Gain mode for a broader temperature measurement range, and the new High-Res mode. The High-Res mode is particularly useful for observing objects, people, or animals with minor temperature differences, making it highly practical for law enforcement, wildlife monitoring, and search-and-rescue operations.
 
In addition, H30T's zoom and infrared thermal camera supports split display and Link Zoom, which allows operators to scale the visible light and thermal images together and maintain the same viewpoint. This feature enables a side-by-side comparison of image details, which helps locate objects faster. This could prove crucial for search and rescue teams or first responders during natural disasters.

Enhanced Night Vision

Experience the ultimate night-time imagery with the Zenmuse H30 Series. With its advanced zoom and wide-angle cameras, you can now switch to the Night Scene mode in low-light conditions, offering an enhanced live view and recording quality. Whether you're keeping a watchful eye during law enforcement tasks, responding to emergency inspections, or monitoring wildlife activity, our cutting-edge technology ensures unparalleled operational efficiency and accuracy at night. From dusk to dawn, you can count on the Zenmuse H30 Series to deliver seamless and uninterrupted imagery like never before.

Black and White Night Vision and NIR Illumination

Operators can use IR Light for infrared enhancement and illumination when the Zenmuse H30 Series zoom camera is engaged in Night Scene mode. Switching off the IR Light transforms the live feed into a high-contrast grayscale image, allowing for easy detection of subjects in light and dark areas. Moreover, when enabled, the zoom camera can also leverage the additional NIR illumination provided by the NIR auxiliary light. This feature is handy for operators engaged in night time monitoring or search-and-rescue operations.
 

Precise and Accurate Distance with Laser Rangefinder

The Zenmuse H30 Series' laser range finder is a significant upgrade from previous models. It can accurately mark the position of an object up to 3000 m(1.8 miles) away, 2.5 times greater than previous generations, while also providing linear distance from the camera, altitude, and GPS coordinates. This is particularly beneficial for first responders who may need to observe a scene from a safe distance or for search and rescue teams who need to locate people in remote and hard-to-reach locations. With the Zenmuse H30 Series, you can ensure precision and accuracy, giving you the confidence to handle any situation.

Temperature Measurement from -20° to 1600° C (-4° to 2912° F)

For operators that demand a higher range of temperature measurement, we have designed an infrared density filter as an optional accessory. When in Low Gain mode, operators can measure temperatures up to 1600° C (2912° F), three times the previous generation. This is particularly useful for firefighting, geological observations, or other tasks that require a more effective judgment of temperature changes and rapid locating of hotspots, increasing awareness and rescue efficiency.

Smarter Multi-Scenario Operations

The Zenmuse H30 Series zoom and wide-angle cameras are equipped with Smart Capture mode that automatically evaluates the surrounding light and dynamic range and applies intelligent image algorithms. This results in photos with natural transitions between light and dark and rich details, even in environments with high dynamics, intense light, or low light. In conditions like smog or high atmospheric humidity, the Zenmuse H30 Series zoom camera features a new Electronic Dehazing function that enhances image clarity. It offers low and high dehazing levels to cater to different operational environments and requirements.

Reliable Information Sync and Retention

The Zenmuse H30 Series cameras can store footage from 10, 15, or 30 seconds before an actual recording begins. This feature needs to be preset and ensures that all the essential information is captured and can be accessed later when required. Through the cloud platform on FlightHub 2, operators can monitor live views from the Zenmuse H30 Series cameras, staying informed about on-site operations. This helps in quick decision-making and coordinated air-to-ground operations.
 

Diverse Range of Application Scenarios

The Zenmuse H30 Series is a versatile and high-performing payload that caters to a diverse range of industries and applications, including public safety, electricity, oil and gas, water conservation, and forestry. Its advanced features and capabilities make it an ideal choice for professionals looking for an efficient and reliable aerial imaging solution. Whether you need to monitor critical infrastructure, conduct inspections, or capture aerial reconnaissance of specific locations or objects, the Zenmuse H30 Series is a valuable asset that can help you achieve your goals easily and precisely.
