Selected F-series gimbal cameras record footage to a local TF card, giving your project an onboard video record.
The XK-F511RS and XK-F513RS adjust movement speed with zoom and offer one-click return to the initial position.
The XK-F515RS and XK-F516RS provide wireless video viewing and gimbal operation through a ground PAD.
A- and C-series thermal cameras offer CVBS output for projects using analog video inputs.
Gimbal Cameras and Camera Modules for Your Project
Xingkai supplies gimbal cameras and camera modules for companies equipping UAV and FPV systems. Choose from visible-light optical-zoom cameras, starlight models for low-light observation, and EO/IR payloads that bring visible and thermal views into one stabilized unit.
For a system with HDMI video input, the XK-F513RS provides an HDMI EO/IR option with picture-in-picture viewing. For network-based video, models such as the XK-F511RS provide RTSP output and IP control. Compact CVBS thermal modules serve a different need: adding imaging to a platform where your team handles the mounting and stabilization.
Share your imaging task, platform conditions and required quantity. We will check the model and configuration, provide a quotation, and agree the order and delivery conditions before arranging supply and shipment.
Xingkai Gimbal Camera Models
Compare the exact gimbal model for your imaging and video connection. Visible-light, thermal and low-light configurations remain separate; the camera modules and FPV equipment below are additional products, not complete gimbal substitutes.

Camera Modules and FPV Camera Equipment
These separately supplied imaging products extend the Xingkai range. Thermal modules require their own integration; XK-100 and XK-150 are identified by their actual FPV equipment roles.
A 384 × 288 thermal module with CVBS/PAL output, a 28 × 28 mm footprint and DC4.5–18 V input for separate camera integration.
A 640 × 512 thermal module with CVBS/PAL output and a 28 × 28 mm footprint, offering a different thermal resolution from XK-A110.
A 256 × 192 thermal module with CVBS/PAL output, a 21 × 21 mm footprint and a listed weight of 22 g.
A 384 × 288 thermal module with CVBS/PAL output in the 21 × 21 mm module format for separate integration.
A 640 × 512 thermal module with CVBS/PAL output in a 21 × 21 mm footprint, offering a higher-resolution configuration within this module format.
A 1200 TVL CMOS FPV camera with CVBS output and switchable PAL/NTSC operation; it is a visible-light camera rather than a thermal gimbal.
A camera, display and video-transmission combination offered for FPV use; specify the equipment configuration separately from a gimbal order.
For vertical viewing, the XK-F511RS specifies −90° to +90° pitch; plan installation around the required tilt positions.
The XK-F513RS specifies −150° to +150° yaw; match this pan sector to the project's required viewing directions.
The XK-F412RS uses IP control, with UART available as an option for the selected configuration.
The XK-C130 specifies 600 mW consumption; include this camera-module load when budgeting power for a compact platform.
Connect Your Drone Gimbal Camera to the Video Link
The XK-F513RS supplies HDMI video with picture-in-picture viewing. The XK-F511RS and XK-F603RS provide RTSP network video with IP control. Choose the output that connects the camera to your intended video link and ground equipment.
Xingkai checks the camera model and configuration against your requirements before quoting. We supply the selected output format; complete system compatibility also involves the control protocol and equipment configuration, rather than the connector name alone.
Match the Imaging Format to the Task
For projects that need recognizable visible-light images and closer views of a scene, Xingkai supplies optical-zoom gimbal cameras. The XK-F515RS and XK-F516RS provide wireless viewing and ground PAD control, while the XK-F516RS offers a 30× optical-zoom configuration. Local recording gives the project an onboard copy of the video. Select the camera and ground configuration together; the video output, control method and payload dimensions all affect how it fits the aircraft.
View full-size imageThe XK-F510RS uses a starlight CMOS sensor for visible-light observation in low-light conditions. Its 1080p RTSP output, IP/UART control and local recording suit a project built around network video. At 700±10 g, it is a complete stabilized payload rather than a bare camera module. Low-light performance still depends on the available light and scene, so choose it when visible detail is the imaging priority and assess the intended operating conditions.
View full-size imageWhen heat differences are part of the task, the XK-F412RS, XK-F511RS, XK-F513RS and XK-F603RS combine visible and thermal imaging. The XK-F511RS provides 640×480 thermal imaging in a 500±10 g payload; the XK-F513RS offers an HDMI connection for dual-view video. Temperature measurement is an optional configuration on selected models. Agree the measurement requirement separately from the thermal image specification, including any required measurement range and accuracy.

From Camera Requirements to Supply
Xingkai checks the model and configuration before quoting, then supplies the equipment against the agreed order conditions.
Tell us the imaging task and quantity. Include the platform or existing video setup where relevant. Xingkai receives these requirements for model and configuration checking.
Xingkai checks the camera model and configuration against your requirements and provides a quotation. Review the proposed equipment and clarify the configuration needed for your project.
We agree the configuration, quantity and delivery conditions with you. These agreed conditions define the equipment and supply arrangements for the order.
Xingkai arranges supply and shipment according to the confirmed order conditions.
FAQs: Gimbal Camera Procurement Questions
Compare quotations for the same camera model, thermal resolution and included ground equipment. A price for the camera alone is not equivalent to a price for a camera-and-ground-equipment package. Tell Xingkai your required quantity and configuration so the quotation identifies the specific equipment being supplied and the agreed delivery conditions.
No. The output video format and thermal detector resolution are separate specifications. For example, the XK-F511RS has a 640×480 thermal sensor and provides 1080p RTSP video. For a tender or integration requirement, specify the thermal detector resolution as well as the video output format. Comparing only the stream resolution can hide an important difference between thermal configurations.
No. NETD describes thermal sensitivity, rather than absolute temperature measurement accuracy. The XK-F511RS specification lists NETD ≤65 mK at 30°C. If your project needs temperature values, state the required measurement range and accuracy separately. Measurement is optional on selected configurations and should be agreed before ordering; the NETD figure alone does not establish that a camera meets your measurement requirement.
Using a ground PAD to view video and control the gimbal does not by itself define the items included in your order. For the XK-F515RS or XK-F516RS, request a quotation that identifies the camera and any ground equipment you require. Xingkai checks the requested configuration, and the equipment supplied is agreed with you before supply and shipment.
The XK-100 provides CVBS analog video; it does not provide a 5.8 GHz radio link by itself. A compatible video transmitter is needed to send that camera output to a wireless receiver. Specify the transmitter and receiver you intend to use, including their video connections and operating frequency. Xingkai can then check the requested camera or kit configuration before quoting.
Equipment to Discuss Alongside Your Camera
Discuss the aircraft platform that will carry the camera, including payload capacity, installation space and the intended imaging task.
For video delivery to the ground, compare a separate data link's video interfaces and control connections with the selected camera output.
Discuss ground equipment for viewing video and operating the system, with the camera control connection considered alongside the rest of the platform.
For analog FPV builds and module integration, discuss the camera, video transmitter, display and other supporting parts as a configuration.
Tell Us About Your Camera Project
Describe the imaging task and quantity you need. If the platform is already selected, include its payload and power conditions and the video or control connection you plan to use. Xingkai will check the model and configuration and provide a quotation so we can agree the order and delivery conditions.
