The SpydaBot Scorpion is a 3 axis gimbal which can be wirelessly remote controlled. It features 3 axis leveling ability and can control your camera/thermal monocular device wirelessly via mobile phone app (note: Android phones have a different gyro orientation which means the phone may need to be upright to represent a horizontal position in the Gimbal - Apple's horizontal position is sync'd as horizontal to the Gimbal). The Australian made housing body is a carrier cradle fitted with magnetic feet. The feet can sit on any surface but will magnetize with extreme confidence that it will not only hold on firmly but also withstand any terrain while magnetized to a car. You can have supreme confidence when using SmartRest designed products and rest assured your expensive devices are safe on any one of our carrier systems.
SmartRest has chosen the best and most suitable 3 axis gimbal to do the job. The features and technology will satisfy you and your needs while scanning with this fantastic device.

Specs on the Gimbal:
Name: Scorp 2
Max Load: 2.5kg
Battery: 13 hours - (note: contrary to factory stated battery life - while constantly scanning the battery will not last 13hrs, we recommend either the power bank available here Power Bank for Scorpion or hard wire direct from the cigarette port to the power terminal port. The power terminal port remains stationary so you can run a hard wire to it without tangling it up.)
Pan range: 360 degrees
Tilt range: 200 to 120 degrees
We recommend you scan while the vehicle is stationary. It is too dangerous to operate equipment while you are on the move and trying to drive.
