Mantis
High Performance Motorised Pan and Tilt
The High performance motorised pan and tilt unit, The Mantis, is designed to support a high payload capacity while accurately controlling the line of sight of single or multiple payloads remotely. The Mantis can be configured to handle a wide range of sensors for long range precision surveillance tasks.
Capable of axis speeds of up to 50° per second, Mantis is ideally suited for homeland security in permanent installations and vehicle-based applications, where a high degree of controllability and positional accuracy is required. In addition, using an adapter, The Mantis may also be paired with the Groundmaster for tripod mounted applications. Typical payloads include thermal imagers, day/night cameras and combination electro optic sensor systems.
Configurations
The Mantis is available in two standard versions, the basic ‘L’ configuration and ‘U’ configuration with a support arm for heavier payloads or higher shock and vibration environments.
The capabilities of the Mantis can be further extended with the addition of factory configured options such as gyro stabilisation and the use of support arm spaces to achieve optimum payload mass distribution.
