The Gremsy Pixy LR is a compact gimbal from the Vietnamese maker Gremsy for mid-sized multicopters. It is tuned to the Sony ILX-LR1 mapping camera with 61 megapixels and is used on drones running ArduPilot or PX4.

The gimbal weighs 495 g including the M-Port Quick Release mount (Hyper Quick Release V3.0). The interfaces are Micro USB, USB-C 3.0, CAN, UART, S-Bus and Micro HDMI. Through CAN and UART it talks to the autopilot, S-Bus is an input for radio controllers, and Micro HDMI carries the video signal. Gremsy lists compatible platforms including the DJI M600 and the Sony Airpeak. Its job is to hold the camera steady and in a constant viewing direction during mapping flights so that images overlap and stay sharp.

Gimbal and camera count towards take-off mass, for which the EU class limits are 900 g (C1), 4 kg (C2) and 25 kg (C3 and C4). Mapping flights with a 61-megapixel camera capture property and people in high resolution; that touches data-protection law, and the operator must be registered.

A design cut to a specific camera is easy to handle but ties the gimbal to that model; when changing the camera, weight, centre of gravity and connectors must be checked again. In mapping, the camera should look straight down, and vibration must not turn into motion blur. Points to check are the dampers, the latch of the quick-release mount, the connectors and play in the axes.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
