Deployable 4K Zoom Payload for Fleet-Ready Inspection Operations

The Gremsy Zio is a professional zoom payload engineered for integration into inspection and surveillance platforms where consistent image quality at distance is a operational requirement, not a convenience.

Anchored by a 1/2.5" Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor and a three-axis stabilized gimbal holding ±0.01° angular vibration tolerance, the Zio captures 4K video and 8.51 MP stills across inspection, survey, and public safety deployments.

Native compatibility with the WISPR SkyScout Series and broad support for PX4 and ArduPilot flight stacks positions the Zio as a payload that integrates cleanly into existing enterprise drone fleets.

Mission Capabilities and Integration Advantages

  • Sony Exmor R sensor: 1/2.5" CMOS produces 8.51 MP stills with consistent 4K output.
  • Optical zoom: 20x optical reach acquires distant targets across repeatable inspection cycles.
  • Super Resolution zoom: 30x Super Resolution extends target identification range from altitude.
  • Combined zoom: 240x combined mode delivers extreme close-up detail for photographic documentation.
  • Three-axis stabilization: ±0.01° vibration tolerance maintains image integrity across flight conditions.
  • Pan coverage: ±320° controllable pan eliminates repositioning requirements during wide-area surveillance.
  • Dual video output: HDMI at 1080p60 and Ethernet at 720p30 support multi-point ground monitoring.
  • Defog capability: Low, Mid, and High defog settings preserve image usability in degraded conditions.
  • QGroundControl integration: unified ground control reduces software overhead across fleet operations.
  • Platform compatibility: PX4 and ArduPilot support enables clean integration with WISPR SkyScout Series.

For fleet integrators and solutions architects, the Zio's value is in its predictability. A 20x optical zoom with Super Resolution extension to 30x delivers consistent target acquisition across repeatable mission cycles.

Wide voltage acceptance from 14.5V to 52V, a detachable bottom mount, and dual connectivity via HDMI and Ethernet mean the Zio adapts to platform configurations without requiring custom engineering work on each deployment.

A Payload Engineered for Repeatable Enterprise Deployment

The Gremsy Zio is built around the premise that aerial visual data collection needs to be consistent across every mission, not just optimal under ideal conditions. P

ower draw scales from 12W to 48W depending on operational load, and the connection suite covering USB 2.0, UART, Ethernet, and Micro HDMI gives integrators the interface options needed to fit the Zio into existing ground station and data pipeline configurations without friction.

Video output covers 3840 x 2160 at 30fps for maximum resolution capture, or 1920 x 1080 at 60fps where smoother motion rendering is the priority.

Five exposure modes including Auto, Shutter Speed, Iris, Bright, and Manual give operators and automated systems the control needed to maintain image quality as lighting conditions shift across a mission window.

A 64GB MicroSDXC card is included, and the Zio operates across a temperature range of 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C), covering most deployment environments without additional thermal management.

Where the Zio Fits in an Enterprise Inspection Stack

Fleet integrators deploying the Gremsy Zio gain a payload that covers the three core visual data requirements of professional inspection work: sufficient zoom reach to acquire targets at safe standoff distances, stabilization precise enough to produce usable footage under real flight conditions, and output flexibility to feed both onboard storage and live ground monitoring simultaneously.

The defog system, multi-mode zoom architecture, and QGroundControl compatibility reduce the number of variables that can compromise data quality across a multi-site deployment schedule.

The Zio is not a payload that requires workarounds. It is specified, integrated, and operated the same way across every platform it supports, which is what enterprise inspection programs need from a zoom payload.

When you add the Gremsy Zio to your fleet through Dronefly, you gain access to integration expertise built on years of enterprise UAS deployment experience. Get your inspection stack set up and order on Dronefly today.

What drones are compatible with the Gremsy Zio?

The Gremsy Zio is compatible with any drone supported by PX4 or ArduPilot flight control firmware, including the WISPR SkyScout Series. Gremsy recommends using the Cube flight controller for optimal performance. Operators working with custom drone builds can contact Gremsy directly at contact@gremsy.com to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

How does the Gremsy Zio handle image stabilization?

The Zio uses a three-axis gimbal with ±0.01° angular vibration control to maintain stable imagery throughout flight. The controllable tilt range spans ±120° and the controllable pan range covers ±320°, with mechanical limits extending further to handle dynamic flight conditions. That level of stabilization keeps footage usable even during active maneuvering or in moderate wind.

What software is used to control the Gremsy Zio?

The Gremsy Zio is managed through QGroundControl, an open-source ground control application widely used in professional UAV operations. QGroundControl supports both PX4 and ArduPilot flight stacks, making it a natural fit for WISPR SkyScout Series operators already using that environment. Payload control and mission planning are handled within the same interface, reducing the need for additional software tools.

Does the Gremsy Zio include storage for recorded footage?

Yes. The Zio uses MicroSDXC I media and ships with a 64GB SD card included. Video is stored in MP4 format and photos are saved as JPEG files. The included card provides sufficient capacity for extended inspection or survey sessions before offloading is required.
