Spec

What is xiMU?

Engineered for the smallest possible volume and weight, made with an advanced high-density manufacturing and assembly process. The xiMU cameras are the smallest cameras in our portfolio and even in the world of industrial cameras.
All of the latest models come with a USB3 interface (USB-C, flex or micro coax cables) to support the full potential of sensor bandwidth and ensure simplicity of use. All this together with less than 5 grams weight and less than 1 watt power consumption, makes them also ideal for a plethora of embedded, mobile, and space-restricted applications, such as UAVs.
