Introduction
The Zenmuse XT gimbal and camera features the FLIR Longwave Infrared Thermal Camera. It
provides high-sensitivity (<50 mK@f/1.0) infrared imaging at 640/30 fps or 336/30 fps depending on
the camera model, and comes with 6.8 mm, 7.5 mm, 9 mm, 13 mm or 19 mm lens options.
As with other DJI 3-axis gimbal systems, the Zenmuse XT can be mounted on the Matrice 100
or Inspire 1 series aircraft and stream a live HD view to DJI GO. This makes it excellent for aerial
thermal applications such as inspection and maintenance, search and rescue, and precision
agriculture.
There are two versions of the Zenmuse XT gimbal and camera: the Zenmuse XT-Performance and
Zenmuse XT-Radiometry. The general descriptions in this manual apply to both versions.

ROI (Region of Interest)
Use this feature to manage color range distribution across the screen to maximize contrast for
regions of highest interest.
If you want the color spectrum to be evenly distributed across the entire image, select "Full".
If there is large patch of sky (relatively low temperature) in your image, much of the color
spectrum will be allocated to the lower range, meaning other parts of the spectrum will have less
contrast. In this case, you may select “Sky excluded (33%)” or “Sky excluded (50%)” to ignore
areas of the sky so that most of the spectrum can be allocated to remaining areas, providing
higher contrast and utility for analysis.
Palette
The Zenmuse XT offers a variety of Palette options. Distinct colors are used to show temperature
differences in the thermal image, which are related to the grayscale intensity. The temperature
range of the image is mapped to 256 colors and displayed in the 8-bit JPEG or MPEG-4 format.
