The T2 Gimbal

 is a high performance gimbal designed to satisfy the increasing demand for unwavering stabilization, detailed IR imagery, and integration of custom payloads. The T2 features direct drive brushless motors for increased stabilization performance and a GPS plus three-axis IMU for standalone operation that eliminates the need for vehicle mounting calibration. Onboard video processing is standard featuring video stabilization, object tracking, and Geo-location estimation.
