The SIYI ZR10 is a gimbal camera with three stabilised axes and optical zoom for mid-sized multicopters. The maker is based in Shenzhen, China. The camera targets platforms running ArduPilot and PX4 and suits observation and inspection.
The 1/2.7-inch CMOS has 4 megapixels and records 2K video (2560 × 1440) at 30 frames per second. The zoom is 10x optical and 30x hybrid; only the optical share raises detail resolution, the hybrid range merely enlarges the image. The focal length spans about 5 to 47 mm, from a wide overview to detail at a distance. Control runs over MAVLink. The camera weighs about 381 g.
The take-off mass of the aircraft determines the EU class (900 g for C1, 4 kg for C2, 25 kg for C3 and C4), and the camera enters that sum with its roughly 381 g. A camera that shows people requires operator registration, and recordings fall under data-protection law.
For surveying, a fixed lens with a large sensor and a global shutter would be better; the ZR10 is a zoom camera for inspection. The small sensor gives noisier images in low light than large sensors. Moisture and dust harm small gimbal cameras of this design; flights in rain are to be avoided. The zoom mechanics are moving parts and sensitive to shocks and moisture; the gimbal motors and dampers are further points to check.

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.
