Mechanical stabilisation physically counteracts camera movement to maintain stability and is best suited to mitigating large, low frequency, rotational disturbances. Overview’s Helios Integrated Servo Drives incorporate onboard IMU’s and provide mechanical stabilisation completely within the drive.
Optical stabilisation moves the optical elements within the camera to compensate for shake and is best utilised with high frequency, small disturbances.
Electronic stabilisation uses software algorithms to digitally translate and crop video frames to reduce motion blur and movement at the expense of latency.
PodView uniquely combines each available method fusing the unique benefits of each stabilisation method and selectively enabling each mode depending on the disturbance, environment and mission.
