Gremsy shows imaging payloads at Commercial UAV Expo

Visitors to Sony’s Booth #330 find VIO, ORUS L and the Pixy Series beside Sony’s own imaging range. Gremsy’s stabilised gimbals and imaging payloads sit there with high-end cameras meant for professional aerial work. In Gremsy’s description, the Pixy Series handles stabilised mounting of the camera in demanding UAV missions, and ORUS L and VIO add EO/IR imaging to unmanned platforms.

Arcsky, Flyby Robotics and Inspired Flight, three further exhibitors, show Gremsy hardware too. One display shows a VIO mounted on the Inspired Flight IF800 TOMCAT, and another a Pixy LR gimbal on an Arcsky drone platform. The company says the combined displays show how its payloads fit varied configurations and operating requirements. Visitors to the expo can therefore compare the gimbals on several UAV platforms and imaging setups.

Gremsy frames the showing around work such as surveying, mapping and inspection, and describes an ecosystem of imaging technologies that keeps growing. Its stated customers are enterprise operators, system integrators and UAV manufacturers.

Why it matters

Showing payloads on partners’ aircraft is a common route for a gimbal maker to reach airframe builders, since the buyer sees the sensor and stabilisation already working on a real platform. At this show, Gremsy’s payloads sit on four separate exhibitors’ stands, from a camera manufacturer to multirotor and airframe companies.

The Pixy Series carries cameras for aerial imaging, a field that Sony’s booth serves directly. ORUS L and VIO cover EO/IR, the combination of visible and infrared sensing used on inspection and other demanding missions.

For integrators, the practical point is the number of ready airframe pairings: Gremsy hardware on an IF800 TOMCAT and an Arcsky platform gives two concrete examples of integration beyond the maker’s own test aircraft. Gremsy presents itself as a supplier of gimbals, camera payloads and imaging systems to drone and robotics users, with public safety, surveying and inspection among the fields served.
