Small Enough for even the Smallest Drones, the Sony FCB-MA130 HD Micro Block Camera
The idea of a pilotless aircraft, or drone, is not a new concept ~ in fact, it dates back to the mid-1800s, when Austrians sent off unmanned, bomb-filled balloons as a way to attack Venice. Today’s technologically innovative drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can be controlled either autonomously by onboard computers capturing what the drone ‘sees’, or by remote control with a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. While first used by the military, drones are now used in the private sector by police, firefighters, surveillance for sports and for movies.
With the introduction of the Sony FCB-MA130 high definition camera, the world of the small camera has just gotten larger. With its 16x zoom, this all-in-one color camera is an impressive new addition to the popular FCB Block Camera Series. Thanks to Sony’s renowned high-quality 1/2.45-type Exmor™ CMOS sensor and Sony’s original image signal processor, the FCB-MA130 HD CMOS camera allows users to capture Full HD resolution (1080p/30) movies and 13-megapixel still images, while assuring superb picture quality in both. Multiple useful features are available thanks to Sony’s original image processor: Image Stabilizer, Face Detection, Wide Dynamic Range (ATR) and Noise Reduction (3DNR). Also available is a one-push auto focus (AF) function, optimized picture quality, backlight correction, E-flip and Mirror Image, and a shutter speed of 1/25 to 1/5,000 sec, 24 steps.
This amazingly minute camera measures a mere 21/32 x 13/32 x 23/32 inches (16.5 x 10.3 x 18.0 mm), and weighs 0.078 ounces (2.2g). With such a diminutive size, it can be effortlessly incorporated into space-restricted products. The drones of today require precisely such a camera.
