The Gimbal is a key component of the MKD System, which allows for the recording of footage and is essential to both the mapping and surveillence processes. The Gimbal can be securely fastened to either the MK Destiny or the MK Manta, and a variety of cameras can be attached, including a thermal camera and a camera used for mapping. It is a device which permits the drone to perform high quality work, and make it immediately available through the user interface.
