UAV/Drone Trio: NEW Optical Image Stabilization, Controller and Transceiver Are Here NOW
UAVs/drones, are quickly leading the video world into the vast future, and sending technology into a different dimension.
UAVs/drones provide useful services to a myriad of applications; and while security and surveillance are most familiar, the world really is their oyster. Used also for search and rescue, inspection, farming, sports, aerial video and photography and surveying, they are now becoming the real estate person's right hand. It is well known that a UAV/drone is an aircraft without a pilot on board. They can be controlled remotely (e.g. flown by a pilot on the ground at a control station), or they can fly autonomously guided by a predetermined, software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems, working in conjunction with GPP (Global Positioning System). There are certain parameters with which a UAV/drone camera must operate. It needs to be very small, have a controller with which to guide them, and a receiver to translate what is being seen directly to the user. However, drone work inherently comes with camera vibration and movement. This becomes extremely problematic, specifically at the telephoto end, and can destroy an ideal video - even when post-processing software attempts to correct the blurry images, only to end up with reduced image quality. What do the MP1010M-VC Full High Definition (FHD) small form camera module, the AVP AEG-Controller-MP1 Controller, and the Aegis SDI-HDMI-MP10-GM/SDI-MP10-GM/HDMI-MP10-GM Dual HD-SDI / DVI(HDMI) Output Video Transceiver have in common? All are individually part of a trio ear-marked for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)/drones, to better accomplish their aerial tasks, and that Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. has available now, to better enable users to acquire and develop, all needed components in one place.Tamron Company, Ltd., an integrated optics manufacturer, has just revealed their newest ultra-compact camera module, the MP1010M-VC.
What makes this announcement even more astounding, is that the MP1010M-VC has an industry-first feature - optical image stabilization. Utilizing Tamron's Vibration Compensation (VC) feature which eliminates image blurring, crisp, clear images are assured even in a vibrating environment. The minute size of 1.26” x 1.63” x 2.30” (31.9 x 41.5 x 58.4 mm) and weight of 2.71 ounces (77 grams) of this compact module is changing the face of drone utilization forever. In addition to its size, a stellar feature of the MP1010M-VC, is that this camera module can be extensively customized, making it ideal for adaptations in UAV/drone work.

The MP1010M-VC FHD (Full High Definition) video output is compatible with industry-standard 1920 x 1080. The module provides high resolution, high quality images , all while allowing it to be placed in UAV/drones without affecting the aircraft. While other styles of small-sized cameras are available, the MP1010M-VC‘s module is a dream come true for drone manufacturers, as its weight, size, and picture quality have all advanced by Tamron’s Vibration Compensation (VC) feature. The VC eliminates image blurring in a flying aircraft.
Even with this integrated optical vibration-compensation feature included, the entire module is physically less than 2-1/2 inches in total length. Because of the MP1010M-VC’s miniature size, current housings are able to be used again, an installation space savings.
The MP1010M-VC ultra-compact camera module video output is compatible with industry standard 1920 x 1080/60p FHD. Well appointed, it has a 1/3-type CMOS (Progressive Scan) imaging sensor with nearly 4,080,000 pixels, a 10x optical zoom lens, and a horizontal viewing angle of 58.2º to 6.9º wide to telescopic end.
Created to operate in tandem with the Tamron MD1010M-VC FHD block camera module is the hand-held, portable, AVP AEG-Controller-MP1 Controller. This durable controller has a standard keypad layout, easily functions in tough and demanding environments. Additionally useful, is its ability to be programmed to control the greater part of the MD1010M-VC camera’s functions, including:
