Gyro Image Stabilization & IS
Most cameras have lenses that are only 25mm or less. In contrast PTZ and long range electo-optic cameras have optics that larger than 2000mm. Due to their superior optical zoom power that is often 50~200X more powerful than regular cameras the effects of vibration, osculation and shaking are also increased. Vibrations and oscillations that are not even noticed on regular cameras can render these larger, highly sensitive optics unusable even in nominal operating conditions.
To combat this, Ascendent integrates Gyro stabilization on our higher end Viper pan tilts that reduces, eliminates and corrects the negative effects of swaying, osculation, and vibration to ensure crisp detail rich images that maintain their detail even in heavy wind, high pole mounts and rough seas.
Our IS electronic stabilization is great for wider angle cameras and to reduce the effects of vibration and can be added to any analog system. The IS also integrates fog filter to help reduce the effects of heat waves.
