A609R Ultra-Compact Triple-Sensor 3-Axis EO/IR & LRF Gimbal Camera

The Viewpro A609R is a compact, dual-sensor EO/IR gimbal camera designed for professional UAV surveillance, inspection, and situational awareness missions. Combining a Full HD electro-optical camera, a 640×512 thermal imager, and an integrated laser rangefinder, the A609R delivers reliable day-night visibility, precise target tracking, and accurate distance measurement in a lightweight, mission-ready payload.

Built around a high-precision 3-axis stabilized gimbal, the A609R maintains smooth, stable imagery even during aggressive maneuvers or windy conditions. The system supports AI-based human and vehicle detection, real-time EO/IR object tracking, optional radiometric temperature measurement, and IP video output (RTSP/UDP) for seamless integration into command, mapping, and inspection workflows. With support for ArduPilot and PX4 (MAVLink), onboard recording, KLV metadata, and dual-stream EO/IR output (optional), the A609R is well-suited for public safety, infrastructure inspection, perimeter security, and industrial UAV operations.

Drone Compatibility (Important Clarification)

The Viewpro A609R is not a native DJI Zenmuse payload.

Compatible Platforms

• Custom UAV platforms

• ArduPilot & PX4 drones (MAVLink supported)

• Enterprise drones with third-party payload mounting, power, and IP video routing

DJI Drones

• Can be used on DJI Matrice-class aircraft (M300, M350, M400)

• Requires:

  • External mounting solution

  • Independent power supply

  • IP video input to ground station

• Not plug-and-play via DJI SkyPort

This makes the A609R ideal for integrators, public safety agencies, and industrial operators running mixed or non-DJI payload ecosystems.
