It weighs 952g, outputs IP or HDMI video, and mounts via the Viewport quick-release. Priced at $2,999. Request a quote to confirm current availability.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ViewPro A40 Pro is the long-range, cold-weather member of ViewPro's EO zoom lineup. Most zoom gimbals in this class fog over or ice up the moment they climb into cloud, fly a coastline, or work a winter search grid. The A40 Pro's anti-fog and anti-icing optical system keeps the front element clear in exactly those conditions, so the 40x optical zoom stays usable when the mission actually needs it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the glass is a 1\/2.8-inch Sony CMOS sensor delivering Full HD 1080p at 2.13MP, with 40x optical zoom (plus 32x digital) reaching from a 73.8-degree wide field down to a 2.16-degree telephoto. Starlight-class low-light performance (down to 0.002 lux, or 0.0002 lux in slow-shutter mode), auto de-fog, auto infrared cut-removal, and electronic image stabilization keep the picture clean across changing light and weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe onboard AI module changes the operator workflow. Instead of manually steering the gimbal to hold a subject, the A40 Pro detects people and vehicles automatically, locks tracking, and keeps the target framed while the pilot flies the aircraft. It can flag 10 or more targets at once, with a car detection rate above 85%. For border and coastal patrol, winter search and rescue, and long-range inspection, that means one operator can do what previously took two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
