The new Gremsy Pixy S, an innovative industrial gimbal designed for the Sony A7R IV, will be available this month from Gremsy’s online store and through the company’s worldwide network of dealers. The new Pixy S is precision designed for mapping and inspection missions, and is highly optimized for flight time, stability, and accuracy.

Pixy S is tailor-made for the Sony A7RIV – a full-frame camera with 61 megapixels that gives top image quality for mapping and inspection. The Pixy S fits and secures the camera body with an advanced “slide and lock” mechanism, offering a simplified set-up without complicated balancing. (Pixy S must balance for the first time, and adjust for each lens change.)
Pixy S offers a unique combination of Gremsy T3V3 powerful motor and the compact design of Pixy U. The Pixy S tilt cage module optimizes size and weight with full built-in functionality, weighing less than 550 g (about 1.2 pounds) when setup withSony α7R IV & SEL55F18Z. The lighter weight Pixy S provides a 25% increase in flight time compared with Gremsy T3V3, and has been upgraded with a new Hotshoe signal connector, supported via the AUX port, to allow precise geotagging.
The IMU sensor (Inertial Measurement Unit) has been upgraded: new position of the tilt cage module enhances angle accuracy. The new design can be attached and detached easily in 2 steps: Sliding the L-cage & locking the clamp.
Pixy S is designed to be user-friendly, and is compatible with multiple drone platforms using Pixhawk/CubePilot/Skynode, opening up a wide variety of drone options for commercial applications. Open SDK is enabled on Pixy S with Sony SDK & gSDK samples, which allows embedded system development for many applications.
