About Pixy LR S-Port

Pixy LR S-Port is a three-axis stabilised gimbal engineered around Sony’s ILX-LR1 full-frame camera and a selection of supported fixed and zoom lenses. The gimbal body weighs approximately 462 grams, while Gremsy’s S-Port interface adds a compact quick-release connection for power, data and mechanical attachment.

Integrated AirPixel Entire R3 electronics provide camera triggering and control, while MAVLink, MAVCam, UART, SBUS and PPM interfaces connect the payload to common autopilots. Compatibility with ArduPilot, PX4, Pixhawk and Cube platforms supports geotagged mapping, infrastructure inspection and professional aerial imaging. The quick-release architecture lets operators remove or exchange the payload without rewiring the aircraft.
