High-Resolution Thermal Imaging Camera
The C12 also features a high-resolution thermal imaging camera, offering a wide field of view and clear thermal images. This enables the observation of heat sources from a long distance, useful for various applications such as surveillance, search and rescue, or industrial inspection.

Dynamic Tracking
When combined with Skydroid FPV systems, the C12 can achieve dynamic tracking and real-time tracking and capture of targets using intelligent algorithms. This feature allows the gimbal to automatically follow moving subjects.
