Dynamic Stabilization Mount

DSM 400

Cost efficient and medium modular gyro stabilizer gain more importance. For this case we proudly present our medium-sized Dynamic Stabilization Mount, a gyro stabilizer for multiple medium format sensors.

DSM 400 airborne gyro stabilization mount

Advantages

  • Medium-sized airborne gyro stabilizer

    designed for multiple medium format cameras and scanners
  • Passive Vibration Isolation Ring

    for payloads from 15 – 25 kg
  • Easy installation and setup

    suitable for ultralight aircraft and drones

Field-proven electromechanical gimbal system

Featuring a usable mounting space of 270 mm the DSM 400 provides industry-leading stabilization for multiple medium format aerial sensors and scanners up to 35 kg. The electromechanical gimbal system compensates automatically for movements in all three rotational space axes ensuring blur-free exposures.

An easy installation and setup enable an efficient and economic workflow for your imaging data acquisition projects and allow flexible use of the DSM 400 across projects. High-quality materials combined with advanced drive systems create a lightweight Mount that is eminently suitable for use in drones and ultralight aircraft. Save time-consuming post-processing and capture razor-sharp images on the fly.

Limitless combinations with DSM 400

The Mount allows limitless combinations: the Gyro Stabilizer supports the reduction of the angular rate and provides optimal stabilization of lidar systems, hyperspectral cameras and aerial camera systems from an array of manufacturers.

The DSM 400 is complemented by a Passive Vibration Isolation Ring, which dampens the payload from high-frequency vibrations. A choice of 6 different PaVIRs allows a perfectly fitting vibration absorption for your sensor system.

Applications

For precise airborne surveying and blur-free images taken from above, they have become indispensable and an established part of the overall equipment: Gyro Stabilization Mounts. Installed into the fuselage of aircrafts, they compensate for its roll, pitch and yaw movements to keep the sensor in a leveled position. Would you like to see how SOMAG customers benefit from their Mounts? We have compiled a series of application examples for you that show the diversity of application scenarios for our devices.

Why Customers

Trust Somag

“We integrate the DSM 400 into our systems for various projects such as emergency mapping within large UAVs or for environmental monitoring, geological and geothermal exploration and in helicopters for oblique 3D photography. We chose a DSM 400 because it ensures image overlap and data collection accuracy. We appreciate that SOMAG mounts are extremely durable. My customers have been using the units for more than ten years now.”

 

He Qian, Sales Manager at Stellar Vision Systems

The DSM 400 is robust and has good stabilization performance. It is a very good match for Phase One PAS150 RGB-NIR and PAS 280 systems. Also, the vibration damping ring on the stabilizer is an important contributor to the image quality isolating the camera from the aircraft vibrations.
