Product Line for Marine Applications
The marine product portfolio comprises three different Gyro Stabilization Mounts for different sensor sizes and applications. All devices are designed for operation in harsh weather and water conditions onboard boats, ships, Unmanned/Autonomous Surface Vehicles and buoys. Our products are unique as they are not limited to any particular hardware, because we want you to be as flexible as possible when choosing a camera or scanner for your projects. Our equipment can be combined with a variety of 360°-, thermal imaging, video- and hyperspectral cameras as well as laser scanners or antennas.

Marine Gyro Mounts
Not only in the air but also at sea, pitch and roll movements of boats, ships or USVs caused by the swell present a challenge for data acquisition processes. If sensors are mounted without stabilization, they are exposed to the movements of the vessel, which results in numerous sources of error. For this reason, the SOMAG started developing a range of Gyro Stabilization Mounts specifically for marine applications to precisely stabilize sensors in extremely harsh environments. The two axis gimbals actively counterbalance vessel movements and ensure a drastic motion reduction of the sensor on top.
Without Stabilization
- Imaging system follows vessel motion caused by swell
- Unstable Field of View and decreased data quality
- Deterioration of detection, tracking and pointing capabilities of sensor systems
- Acquisition of blurred images causes more post-processing issues
- Ranging errors for LiDARs because of aircraft pitch movement
With Stabilization
- Pin-sharp images
- High quality video recording
- Perfectly stabilized Field of View
- Enhanced situational awareness
- Improved detection and tracking of moving objects even from a distance and in harsh environments
- Pitch compensation increases ranging accuracy of LiDARs

Applications
Sharp images and a stabilized field of view despite high waves and rough weather conditions? The solution is Gyro Stabilization Mounts, developed especially for this purpose. Roll and pitch movements are reliably compensated to keep the sensor system perfectly balanced. Would you like to see in which cases SOMAG Marine Mounts are beneficial? We have compiled a number of examples for you that show the variety of application scenarios for our devices.
